3 days on Ritalin
Hi all,
Just want to out my thoughts out there on how Ritalin is affecting me and see if anyone has the same thoughts.
Firstly, I’m taking 10mg of quick release, so one at 8am, 12pm and 4pm.
I’m conscious that I’m going to be going up to 20mg next week, but even so, I think I’m feeling something.
Initially I couldn’t notice a difference, maybe
I felt a little more emotional, but this was probably because of the milestone rather than the meds themselves.
Over the last two days at work though I have felt a massive improvement. I’m generally very on it at work, however I would often get lulls in the day. Yesterday and today I haven’t stopped, my productivity is significantly higher, I’m making decisions better and remaining calmer. Equally I just want to talk constantly.
I’m finding I’m crashing a little around 6/7, but productively picks back up after dinner.
Cognitively I feel more on it, physically I’m more on it, I think I am emotionally as well.
But also, am I just making this all up and is it just a placebo?
What are your thoughts?
