Severe Methylphenidate addiction

[J0RD4NM4TTH3W]

I am 14, 5 foot 6, 120 pounds and last year I got diagnosed ADD and was prescribed Concerta, I was taking it on and off but recently in the passed month or so I've been doing it a lot and Im really addicted. I am supposed to be on 36mg, but I need over 200mg just to get me straight, and over the course of day I need over 450mg, like 13 pills to stay functional, while Im on it the feeling is amazing, I can do anything, I feel so great and I never want that to go away. The thing is, if I dont get it for a few hours, I get headaches, mood swings, a fever.

I go through a months worth of pills in less than a week, and its getting hard to hide my habit, is there another way to get Methylphenidate other than through ADD meds. I was thinking maybe if I find a readily availiable street drug with the same effects, I will cut down on the pills and and people will be less suspicious. Is cocaine basically the same thing, will it curb my withdrawal and give me the same effects? How much will it cost?


What should I do, and dont say quit.

What should I do, and dont say quit.

Im sorry. But the only advice I am going to give you is to stop now. Seriously man, I know you dont want to hear it, but things are going to go downhill FAST with that attitude and drug seeking behavior. I'm very serious bro, with that kind of talk you're on the fast track to some serious drug habits.

I know you're not going to listen. Go ahead and hit rock bottom first, then you'll understand. Hopefully.

Lots of people abuse their medications. I'm not going to look down on you for doing that, but you gotta grow up and be responisble about it. Once you run out, deal with withdrawls and cravings and live a clean life until you get your next prescription filled. That break inbetween using is a necessity to keep you from going right over the edge. Once you start trying to feed that addiction 24/7, you've got a very very serious problem on your hands that is going to spiral out of control quicker than you can imagine.

Honestly Im a nicer person while using,
I have more nergy
I get my schoolwork, and any other things i need to do done quickly.

I need this drug and I think my mom is going to cut me off because she is getting suspicious especially since whenever i dont use I medicate with coffee and soda profusely.

I need an easier to get subistute for this.
Is cocaine comparable?
Whats the differences between the two drugs?

[pedaltopedal]

I'll let somebody else decribe the difference between it and cocaine, or suggest another medication to you.

I just wanted to add, that if you really "need" this medication than you need to find a way to taper back down to reasonable dosage so that you can make it through the month with your supply. You cannot let your addiction to this substance get out of hand like that. You're just going to keep using more and more, and finding better drugs and better ways of getting high. Its a dead end, dude. Especially with these types of drugs. Moderation is key.

[PsyGrunge]

metaphorically speaking, all i can tell you is that you're up a very tall tree and the only way down is to jump. nobody will climb up and fetch you down. if you keep climbing, the harder the fall's gonna be. mark my words boyo - whether you want to face the truth or not; you're playing a very dangerous game.

By need I mean I want to be the person that I am while using. I hate withdrawing.

SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT STREET DRUG IS COMPARABLE TO THIS BECAUSE IM SURE MY MOM ISNT GOING TO REFILL MY PRESCRIPTION BECAUSE SHES KINDA GUESSING IM ABUSING IT.

[PsyGrunge]

I know why you hate withdrawing. You feel like an emotionally raped souless pig with no content for yourself or the World. Taking more eases the symptoms of withdrawal for limited time only; and you end up feeling more depressed when that wears off. The longer you experience withdrawal and realise that it IS ultimate shit, the sooner you may come to terms with the reality of - 'it was the methylphenidate that made me feel like this - why would I want to take it again; only to feel worse than I do now in time to come?' (if your conciousness treats you right and you respect it!). If you wait it out longer and longer (weeks), even the memories of 'good' times on methylphenidate won't seem that good! You're sticking yourself in an emotional wreck of a loop; and there's no breaking the chain. Everytime you take enough of your medicine to get off, you are essentially taking man made drugs to control tools of your system. You could very well become the human equivalent of a robot if you carry on.

[HushBull]

A robot, "that does not compute."

[PsyGrunge]

Precisely..
However I was once again speaking metaphorically;
as emotionally challenged as a robot..

[lilbear]

Ah,are you not the same little turd that stole your friends moms Oxys?Oh I almost forgot she is a cancer patient...:rolleyes:
Yea I agree you are on a road to hell.But good luck,I hope you live to see 15.

[Chunky Charcoal]

don't look for another drug to relieve withdrawal symptoms of the one you're already taking. you wouldn't want a coke addiction on top of all that.

just tone it back down, i know it's not what you want to hear but in the long run it'll just be best to get yourself back on track with a regular dose of your prescription. you don't want to be going through serious addiction at 14, seriously.

[SpENS93]

how do u get addicted to ritalin lol

[GetHigh09]

so wait let me see if i get this right ?? Now not only are you "addicted" to ritalin, but oxy's that u stole from an old lady ?? lol kid ur a mess, your better off just staying away from drugs completely. And to awnser ur question NO coke is not the same. and at ur age and with your additive personality i would NEVER suggest that you even try coke, if you could afford it in the first place.

[PsyGrunge]

Agreed.. but where's the OP?!
Pray tell he hasn't found a supplier for the blow.

[ironside33]

J0RD4NM4TTH3W You are going to crash and burn! Hell your 14 years old little dude. The last thing you need is coke. You'd be better of drinking.

[PsyGrunge]

Don't know about advising people with an addictive personality to start drinking.. especially at 14year's old!! Appaling advice; if anything, he'd be better off THINKING.

[Mr.Writer]

LOL, "I'm severely addicted to ritalin. Should I start doing coke?"

What the fuck kind of question is this? Yeah, sure, get addicted to ritalin and motherfucking COCAINE while you're at it. You think ritalin's expensive? Just wait till you have to shell out 3,000$ a day to support your nasty yayo need.

Seriously dude, grow a pair of balls and stop poisoning yourself. Taper off, and stop doing it. You're abusing what should be medication, and you're not even abusing it right.

[Eskimo101]

dude srsly? addicted to pills at 14? your up shit creek so far bro

[J0RD4NM4TTH3W]

I ran out of ritalin, found coke, tried it, loved it, to expensive, at the same time got addicted to oxys, both got too expensisive, i'm starting to get into hroin and crack....
I ddidnt want to go down this path, I have an addicted personality and I now look like hell I lost like 25 pounds, my hair is freakin thin as fuck now, and I'm smoking crack and shoving a needle in my arm, fuck

[moomooman]

shit sounds fake, but why didnt you just get some meth?

[DroneLore]

Nevermind.

I'll just say I hope this is a joke.

[turtleboy267]

its called "live and learn".. sometimes the only way a person learns is by death...

[PsyGrunge]

nah, the person in question will never learn from death.
death is the end of the road, with no learnings whatsoever..
maybe some form of an example set for others, but no lesson learned for the person who dies.

there is no lesson needed to be learned here by the individual. People choose to be irresponsible drug users, it is whether or not they choose to help themselves up or not. If he clearly wants to go down this path of addiction by his own choice and chooses not to listen to the warnings, then we need to throw our arms and let these people go down their miserable paths, which in many cases leads to death.

and we've seen countless examples before us; people know the consequences, and if they arent smart enough to wise up, then thats their own damn fault :)

The same force that is driving you to do this can be harnessed to drive you to detox and rehab, just believe it's there and do it.

hence, my point still stands.

I agree, you need to get some help now man. Your young, don't go down the road most of us have taken. You are still just abusing your presciption pills, and sounding like a huge crack feind. Before you know it, you will be snorting coke, then smokin crack, then shootin meth. Talk to your parents or you doctor man, get some help before you take that next step.

[Eagles06]

I went through all that writing the above post because I thought I was helping a kid out. Then I read the rest of the thread, now I am not even sure whether he was joking around with his 2nd post or not. Guess I should read the whole thread before posting from now on.

[PsyGrunge]

Sounds like a good idea..

[moomooman]

cocaine is a hell of a drug

[pr0ne420]

Im not gonna lecture you got enough of that. Try some meth if you want to destroy yourself. Its an amphetamine and its sort of in the family of your little ADD pills. The high will be x1000 without the nasty side effects.

[Whoyoucantsee]

Reading the first post, about the addicted teen. Fucking grow up. im so sick of meth heads they fukking feind over meth 24/7 thats why im glad im a stoner. Meth heads make me sick and DONT ever want help.

WHAT YOUR GETTING IS PHARMACY GRADE METH DUH!, dont get stuff from the street it isnt pure and isnt good at all and all you will support is some crack head or druggie. but in the end you'll only be stealing and doing unimaginable attrocities to suport your habit, or selling your butthole to street dealers. or everything of the above and then some.

If i where you i would seriously look into IBOGAINE i know its illegal, but fuck what isnt illegal these days? Seriously man look int IBOGAINE or the IBOGA plant or root. even if you where to get some of this substance and take it correctly, im sure you would feel better than the drugs you are taking.

If you really needed something to curb your meth/speed intake. thats going to be a hard one, becuase you cant get simmilar chemicals like methamphetamines or speed anywhere easily, not that i would support your bad habbits, but if it curbed your intake of such a horrible addicting drug, i would suggest these legal things to try i guess:

KHAT- has speedlike effects, comes from the khat plant or seeds. chew drink pills, available online.

Ephedra- very energizing effects, easily available online, tea, plant, or pills.

Caffeine- stay awake pills, not effective if your a tweaker i would think. available everywhere.

kola nut- online everywhere, energizing effects.

im sure there are RCs out there that are more effective and potentially less harmful than meth or speed.

the list i provided is only a bit of the stimulating plants or ethnobotanical herbs, you can mix them all to really feel something different, they are all legally and readily available even locally in some cases. and its not as noticeable as a handfull of pills.

Its soo stupid to see the younger generations on bullshit drugs, instead of the more ethnobotanical ones. i even approve of RCs more than street drugs...

Meth is the chemical embodiement (sp?) of the dark one himself satanus. and we all hate satan lol.

SMOKE DMT ALOT and have some wld eye opening experiences, maybe enlightenment and a new sense of self appreciation and worth.

That reminds me of me, its fun to be running around all fucked up on ritalin and such. Concerta is a bitch with the whole layer thing. Ritalin is crush and snort. My suggestion is just get your parents to help. My mom found out and took me off, if she hadn't I'd be dead I'm sure. But if you need it try finding kids who don't take theres, buy the whole bottle from them.

[Feelings Of U4ia]

Stop using, and be glad that all you will have is mental WD's, instead of physical WD's. Seriously that is the best advice anyone can give you....you are taking entirely too much, and it's only going to start causing problems instead of fixing them.

That high of a dosage, day after day, might seem fun now, but stimulants eventually will start hurting you, trust me.
