Ritelin overdose comedown
I was diagnosed with Asperger's and ADHD a few days ago now and I was prescribed the 18mg of Retalin, they really made me feel confident and happy yet more content in myself and motivated, and theo ther day I felt like taking an overdose, I thik it was because of family issues (my Dad mostly).
And anywayI started to take alot and drink alot of tea and I stayed up on the second day whereI believed that I should tae an overdose and go into hospital because I 'knew' that I would not die anbd that I would change into something better and confident, yeah, this is where I started to dlip into a fantasy world, I stayed up on the third day and I realised that I hadnt eaten or slept, and I started to thinkt hat I had an alter-ego and that I had a personality disorder, by that night I totally lose it and I went abit pshychotic in my mind ( I think I took about 30 snce I started), then the effect just stopped and I felt myself getting back in touch of the real world, I ate apacket of crisps and wmanaged to fall asleep, it is now the next morning and I the effect has worn off but I feel nothng, I feel as though I got back into the realworld but I cant find myself, I have no interest in anything, I love music but I listen to it now and I feel no pleasure from it, I kow that this is really weird post and I havnt maed myself articulate, but please tell me that this is temporary, I am only 16 and I havnt told my Mum...
please someone talk give me advice about this who has been in the same situation?
Dont tell me that I was stupid to do it because I know
I do not have experience with overdose of Ritalin, but I do have some experinece with Meth and the aftermath. Perhaps it helps:
1) Drinking: No alcohol, but plenty of water. Caffeine dehydrates and helps to swallow the drug out the system - but you need add constant water (or juices).
2) Salt: Eat a little bit salty. This process brings the electrolyte-balance out of order. You need add some salt.
3) Depression: Keep a low profile, stay in a niece place (with me it was the bed) and remember if the depression gets to strong: It is not you, it is the drug.
4) Eating: Eat something which is nice in the mouth: Noodles are fine with me, but also just bread soaked in milk.

I do not know how long it is with Ritalin, but I normally struggled at least three day; one of the reasons why do not use this drug anyway. The few experiences are enough.
Dussel's experience with meth is very relevant. Ritalin is very similar in chemical structure and has similar effects on the body and mind. It's more or less just a legal form of speed. Perhaps a little cleaner since you can be sure its not being made in someones bath tub(I know meth isn't actually made in a bathtub, its just a figure of speech) . I know when I was younger my teachers wanted to have me put on Ritalin and my dad wouldn't allow it because he knew how similar it is to drugs like meth. Personally I am glad for it. If i was you, I'd do some research on it and decide whether or not you even want to be taking it.
