    What are the side effects? I've gotten into the habit of taking or blowing 1 a day and 2 on the weekends before parties... obviously that's not good for me i'm not retarded lol but i was just wondering what the serious effects are before i get too into it...

    A lot of college students use it to increase mental acuity in what they've dubbed "viagra for the brain" :eek:

    The side effects are AWESOMENESS! I pop a couple of my husband's vyvance if my day is sluggish. And voila! Spotless house.

    There are side effects. Aggression, increased feeling of sluggishness without it, problems sleeping, fever, weight loss, urinary tract infections. At higher doses amphetamine use and withdrawal can cause psychosis and delusions.

    It's all worth it though. Prescription amphetamines are like super power pills.

    Yeah too bad ritalin isn't an amphetamine. It's methylphenidate, homie:tongue: lol

    Same side effects though, including habituation and physical addiction. It can also cause heart palpitations and arrhythmia.

    i wish i knew what it was like to take ritalin and feel the high of it... i use to take it as a kid in high school but it didnt really do anything to me... i really didnt notice any effect whatsoever... i guess it was cause i was really supposed to take it for ADD... so i sold it to the kids that did like it

    PS: the most common side effects are loss of appetite. you gotta be careful though, i've heard that you can develop a twitch from it.

    For Vyvanse? I've only done it once or twice, but I took 3-4 at a time, and a few more a few hours later. It's decent, but not really worth it, imo.

    i take vyvance (simmilar to ritilan), and the most common side effect is loss of appetite.

    I absent mindedly took two instead of one the other day, and i couldn't even finish half of my hamburger at lunch.

    I've heard that Ritilan can make you develop a twitch, though. So you gotta be carefull. Don't quote me on that though, i could be wrong.

    Yeah it's similar to ritalin, in that it's a stimulant. Vyvanse is lisdexamfetamine, whereas Ritalin is methylphenidate. Vyvanse seems to be a lot different than other amphetamines I've tried, in that it seemed to fuck with my blood pressure a lot more severely, and it actually made me feel very dizzy and weak. Shitty.

    I've never really gotten high on Ritalin, but I've gotten high on Concerta(both of which are methylphenidate), and it seemed to be a lot like amphetamine, but it felt like a slightly more superficial sort of stimulation than amphetamine. Most notably, methylphenidate was much less euphoric.

    NO!!! You'll be too smart! You're mind might create a blackhole in Nevada.

    Too late :(

    They’ve already created a small black hole at AREA-51 when they fired-up the quantum drive
    aboard an alien spacecraft they recovered at Roswell back in 47' :eek:

    yeah ritalin just gives me a huge jolt of energy.. i also snort them so maybe thats why i feel it so strongly when i do it... a twitch though? well that sucks i severely hope i don't develop one lol

    and yeah the reason i take the ritalin as opposed to aderall or vyvanse is because my friend takes ritalin for his ADD so he literally just gives me handfuls for free.. can't beat that deal

    I'll take adderall from time to time, and it will feel like me heart it about to jump out of my chest. Not a good feeling at all.

    Aside from that, I never have an appetite on them things.
