The only option available where I live is terrible, but I use it because it’s easy to get and the only legal stim. Every day, I wake up and binge on it, fully aware that the high only lasts 20-30 minutes. Although the effect is mildly to moderately enjoyable, the comedown is brutal. Afterward, I feel extremely paranoid, irritable, nauseous, and jittery, sometimes to the point of full-blown panic attacks and mild chest discomfort.

I have to wait around 3 to 4 hours for the negative effects to ease enough before I can re-dose without suffering too much. If I re-dose too soon, the overstimulation compounds, and the following 2-3 hours become a nightmare. At that point, taking more feels more like self-torture than anything remotely euphoric.

Any tips?

Also, how does a Ritalin high compare to other stimulants?
