>>13050475>>13050481Ritalin taker here for the same situation
If you have schizo related ailments in the family do not take it because it can bring out this.
luckily I dont
for most people who take these stimulants they go insane bouncing off the walls so if you have this experience you do not really have ADHD
If you take your ritalin and it slows you the fuck down like it does to me then you genuinely have this.
The one thing you need to keep in mind at all times with ritalin is that you are going to forget to eat and drink water
If you dont drink copius amount of water and eat you are going to feel like absolute dog shit
So take it slow one pill a day and see how it effects you for the first week
if you feel like your moving in slowmotion the first 3 days you genuinely need this if you dont and get hyper stop taking it immediately
Also
>>13050497dont take this shit 24/7 your going to burn yourself the fuck out
have rest days and let your mind go spastic
adhd is a fountain of creative energy and if you try to bottle it all up and hide it with ritalin your doing yourself a massive disservice.
we need that creative spastic energy we just dont need it when we need to get boring laborious work done.
Use ritalin for the right occasions to
see if it makes you more sociable or less
it makes me much more sociable so I always take it when im going out on big group adventures so I dont act like some fucking weenie in the corner
ALSO
any positive benefit you see try to apply these habits when you DONT take ritalin because if you can adopt these good practices and you work hard on them you will need to use less of it in the future
I started to slowly taper off the ritalin in social settings as of late because I've learned to not be such a fucking weirdo
Hope that helps fren
