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.
