I had something very interesting pointed out to me: I started taking the 10mg regular Ritalin in the afternoons riiiight before I started noticing the Concerta not working. Since I actually get a buzz from the regular ritalin, my brain is sub-consciously telling me that the Concerta isn’t working because there is no buzz associated with it. It makes A LOT of sense to me, especially since on Friday I ended up taking 3 of the Ritalin because I was so convinced it wasn’t working. Without realizing it, I was chasing the dragon.

I have decided to stop with the afternoon dose of Ritalin and today I didn’t take the Concerta. Hopefully that will make a difference. Wish me luck.

Unfortunately…I can totally understand how people get addicted to the regular Ritalin. The buzz is awesome. *lol*
