UPDATE: I've been taking 5 mg at breakfast the past week and had the most productive week I've had in years. Also taking Diphenhydramine (benadryl active ingredient) every night at 8pm has me on a regular sleep cycle for the first time ever in my life. I've been waking up every morning 6-7 AM. Left the weed alone too. I'm alert AF all day while working out and running every day. Feeling great

So you didn't sleep regularly before ?UPDATE: I've been taking 5 mg at breakfast the past week and had the most productive week I've had in years.

Same here. I would just have racing thoughts about any and everything except what I was supposed to be focused on. I think I may be sensitive to stimulants.
Not regular, consitent times. I would normally wake up after I felt I slept as much as I could which would result in me waking up an hour later every day. Then I would be waking up in the evenings which would make me depressed since I felt like I missed the whole day. I love waking up at 4 am after sleeping well, which would require me to go to sleep at 8pm the night before. I've gone an entire year without using an alarm clock.
This past week I feel like my life is balanced with sleep, work and exercise (not socially, no time for friends).Comment

I used to abuse the shit out of Ritalin in University. Use to take 20mg every 5 hours when studying for tests. I would always take it to do all nighter study sessions. The effects were parabolic meaning the first hour I felt like I was the happiest/productive person in the world (I would always randomly start singing to myself because I was happy, that's how I knew it was working), the next 3 hours were normal/productive, then the 5th hour I felt like absolute dog shit and hated every person who would come near me. Those highs and lows would usually mellow out after you used it more.
I stopped using it but if I were to get on it again I would rather try concerta (one of those special pills that releases about 50mg/70mg of methylphenidate into your body slowly over time) those last for like 12 hours. So then there isn't constant highs and lows throughout the day due to that parabolic curve from a single Ritalin pill.
I always thought I was ADHD since middle school. But later on in life I realized all those pills were just mental stuff and I needed to be productive because I just swallowed an expensive pill. I was too much of a bitch to accept I was a lazy student in a position that was uncomfortable for my body. I just had to overcome it naturally without pills.
Whatever fits you my guy. But if its affecting your mood and you're getting angry at people I think it's because you are in the comedown stage of that parabolic curve of Ritalin. That's the time when I would take another pill to bump back up the curve. I think you gotta get one of the pills that has a slow release of methylphenidate overtime.
All of the best.Comment

Thanks for the info, I may look into Concerta. I just had the most productive week in the past 5 years after taking only 5mg at breakfast and coffee at lunch. I'm feeling very motivated and optimistic about work againI used to abuse the shit out of Ritalin in University. Use to take 20mg every 5 hours when studying for tests.

I think this is very common, and people misdiagnose ADHD when it's really just the fact that you don't want to do bullshit work you hate.Comment
