Tid…..any type of “Speed” drug can have that kind of effect! There are many central nervous system stimulants ….cocaine…. meth….ritalin ….concerta……all have a very similar effect on people. Methylphenidate (Concerta) is very very closely related to amphetamine(s)…..and/or methamphetamine….all of those chemicals clinical names are just “Street Speed”. Side affects of any “Speed’ derivative can include anxiety, irritability, agitation, paranoia……the list is extensive and yes….there is a propensity to dependency…..a strong one!!!

So if your feeling irritated, short tempered…that’s not unusual….also racing heart or elevated heart rate shortness of breath…etc….are all common. These are very serious drugs……very serious. I know some folks here take dosages that astound me!!
