I was just curious as to why people abuse Ritalin. I just started a couple of weeks ago and when I took 3 x 20mgs one day it just made me sleepy and a tad dizzy.

Is their response different from ours?
Do they actually get stimulated or euphoric?


I keep playing with the dosage to fine tune it but right now 2 x 10mg seems to be helping. I'm definitely more focused and don't replay the negative thoughts over and over. It doesn't do anything for motivation.

Thanks for all you folks!
This forum has been the best thing!

I think they will taste the bitterness of ritalin and spit it all out honestly. No I think ritalin is not a interesting drug of abuse, but (meth)amfetamine is.

The only thing is maybe become more alert.

I've heard people say non ADDers act more hyperactive on stimulents. To some extent it does help them focus better too.
