> Well Concerta is Ritalin in time a release form and it comes in 36 and 54mg. Now that's over 8 hours or so. Remember this stuff is speed no two ways about it. I would be thinking about your heart if you plan on taking three or more of those yellow 20mg pills at one go. They only burn for 3 hours or so and then your gonna rebound. I weigh 230 and 40mg of the short acting variety would be more buzzy than I care for. I hate feeling medicated. Are you taking other meds as well? What are you taking the Ritalin for?

>>>>I'm actually taking it for ssri apathy,social phobia and I am a dysthemic,I am very lethargic,low mood etc.I actually have panic disorder as well.The Ritalin has no effect on my anxiety which was a suprise to me.I don't feel euphoric or high on it but I have increased energy,clarity of thoughts and I am able to go out in the world and talk to people.It is a really good med for me.I have tried a lot of meds and am kinda sorta have treatment resistant to a lot of meds.
Here is a breakdown of other meds.......
-zoloft 100 mgs
-ritalin have been using 30 mgs 2x a day
-klonopin 3-5 mgs
-Remeron 15 mgs for insomnia
-Ambien-if needed

I was thinking of adding a small dose of Desipramine to the mix.
Take care
