Adverse Effects of Concerta or Ritalin?

**ryguyb1993** · 06-23-2010 08:00 PM

I was diagnosed with ADHD inattentive form this spring, and my physician put me on 36 mg of Concerta every morning, and 10 mg of Methylphenidate (Ritalin) every evening before dinner. I haven't been able to recall my dreams since. Concerta is simply a stimulant to keep my mind busy, therefore my brain doesn't feel the need to always search for some kind of outside stimuli. Ritalin is the same idea, it just isn't as long lasting. My question is, since I am taking these mental stimulants everyday, do they effect my ability to WILD, DILD, recall my dreams, or LD in general? Is there anyone that is currently on any of these percriptions that can LD? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have the same question but with Vyvanse.

Agrression is not uncommon for Ritalin. Intolerability, introversion and general emotional instability aren't uncomon either.
I was prescribed Ritalin for a long time, but it did nothing but spiritually torture and imprison me.

I was also diagnosed with ADHD. I'm off of the destructive medication they used to prescribe me for over 4 years now. I'm ALOT happier now that I have learned to accept myself, and stopped trying to drug myself silly on prescription drugs.
If I feel too tense because of my racing mind a Cannabis Joint will suffice to take off the excess tention/energy when I can't sleep or concentrate on anything. What I also find very healing, therapuitical and psychological stress-releasing is to undertake a psychedelic experience with LSD or Mushrooms every now and then (every half year or so) This for me has proven to be the perfect medication/therapy for inner peace. It has brought me alot more inner peace, connection with and understanding of life within and around me. All psychiatrist prescribed drugs, from Ritalin to Xeroquel, from Dipiperon to Rivotril, seemed to do nothing more, but make me apathic, maniacally depressed, aggressive, emotionally instable, socially withdrawn and generally disconnected from the world around me. They were for a large part responsible for a Psychotic episode of almost a year. I trust my own knowledge and ability to heal my mind alot better than that of psychiatrists; They know nothing of the human mind. Or at least they only know how to disturb it deeply.

It's not right to give children Methamphetamine analogues, cause this is exactly what Ritalin and Concerta are. It cannot at all be right to take dayly harddrugs in order to be functionable.
Society should accept people of different kinds, rather than trying to drug them into their heartless conformity.
