25mgs Ritalin insufflated, woohoo. I haven't had any today until now. It doesn't seem to have much of an effect unless I insufflate it, so I'm saving it for housework/study time.

Hmmm.

Ritalin, 10mg twice daily. There were a few bad side effects, though. First, when it first started kicking in, I got some pretty severe anxiety. From what I've read, this is fairly common, but it was really bad. Secondly, it wasn't the uberfocus that people describe it as. I was still somewhat easily distracted by things around me, and my thoughts were still a bit chaotic and unorganized. It really felt like a caffeine rush. Third, the muscles in the back of my neck and upper back were very tense throughout the day. Fourth, lack of appetite. I could tell that I was hungry, but felt no urge to eat. Fifth, dizziness. Sixth, which I'm experiencing right now, extreme fatigue. Now that my second dose has worn off, I am completely unmotivated to do anything, and feel like I've got no energy at all, and I'm sore.

It seems like a little over a week ago, you had every side effect in the book and only off of your minimal recommended dose. Now nothing unless you do double +5 boofed.

Not much is known about the long-term side effects of prolonged Ritalin usage. I'd probably rough it and stick with the ADD myself.

Madison Center has me going to Rehab weekly.... this should be rather interesting.

I'm currently taking "substance abuse" classes. I'm right there with ya. If you can get past the "I don't want to fucking be here, this place blows" stage, you can actually learn a thing or two and meet people that are actually trying to better their lives. It's much better to have friends that are going to support you in your struggle rather than have friends that use and will bring you down with them.

Way to go, Thanatos. I wouldn't make too good friends with them, though. I know several people I met in college went to those classes, and ended up partying and relapsing with those same people. It's good to have an outside support group. As for me, I think my will-power is strong. I haven't smoked for 10 weeks, and I constantly hang out with people who smoke. They don't care if I do; in fact some of them praise me for quitting. I do also have friends who don't use. They are awesome.

True. There are some people that take those classes that put up a front while they're there and as soon as they leave they fire up a fatty on the way home. Some of them are genuine, though. I am not one of those genuine people. I'm really trying to take things from that class and learn, but the teacher(s) are so fake. All they care about is your money. They don't care if you recover, they just want your hard earned income. It pisses me off. I support anyone that is trying to quit, though. Mad props to ya, and I'll help any way I can. When I'm older I'm going to be one of those people that you don't think smokes, but really does.

I think I've come to face the fact that I will always smoke weed. I don't do it nearly as much as I did, and I don't really do it at all now so I can get past all my legal shit, but once my case is dismissed, I know I'm still going to smoke. I'm definitely going to keep it more discreet. The way I got arrested was fucking stupid, there's no way I'm repeating that again.

I don't understand what's wrong with you smoking weed. If you enjoy doing it, and it's not negatively effecting your life, why does it matter?
