[crunch1]

it is not hindering my appitite at all, like people claim.

what is its effect on muscle building/fat loss?

Not on Ritalin, but 20mg of adderall per day for add. I'm wired and have a very hard time putting and keeping down my 6000 cals a day. It is harder to put on weight, but workouts are indeed more intense and foccused. The hardest part for me is getting past the appeteite supression. Other than that I don't think it is so severely metaboliscally detrimental that you will be rendered completely incapable of gaining muscle mass. These drugs will increase catabolism, but with proper diet (and AAS use) I don't think it is of any concern.

anyone else on ritalin here?

I've been reading about ritalin for so long, now. All you guys seem to know more about it than I. I always thought, or wanted to believe..., that it can be useful, but just like everything else, there's a right way and a wrong way. And, I'm not saying that I know what the wright way is, either.

If you are disciplined with your eating, it can (I believe) be very useful. And dangerous depending one what all else is involved.

If you pay the extra time, And ATTENTION,..to make your meals taste good,....then I urge you not to take it. You will not want to eat, and in three days, Or less, you'll notice that your forearms have gotten smaller, etc. That part of it sucks! I've been trying to harness it for years. If you are able to make it work, in my opinion, you'll really be able to notice excatly what the ritalin has contributed.

My doctor, two actually, have been prescribing my 120mgs (40mg x 3x/day) for the last...., well since early 1997. I really have never met anyone who is prescribed a high dose.

Anyway sorry long. Saw your post, spent an hour or so getting registered, email, etc. just so I could let you know my opinion. I, myself, need to get off it. Good Luck. Notice what time it is here?

ADDY WORKS MUCH BETTER. RITALIN DIDNT EVEN KEEP ME AWAKE.

I CRACKED MYSELF OUT LAST NIGHT ON ADDIES. STUDIED FROM 6PM TO 8AM. I ONLY TAKE IT WHEN I HAVE BIG TESTS COMING UP, NOT EVERYDAY.

I can do that with Ripped Fuel. It keeps my heart rate up too much to sleep.

 

[KAYNE]

RIPPED FUEL DOESNT DO SHIT TO ME UNLESS I TAKE A SHITLOAD. THEN IT ONLY MAKES ME SHAKY. I CAN ACTUALLY FOCUS ON SHIT ON ADDY. I HAVE A HARD TIME FOCUSING ON BORING ASS SCHOOL WORK NOW. I'VE BEEN IN SCHOOL TOO LONG.

Shit, you guys. I've been taking ritalin at that dose for about six years. I thinks it time I switched. That's what I'll do, I'll tell him to swich me to...well is adderall the shit, or what.

I tried my friend's dexa-something, which was supposed to be the tip o the top, but it sucked.

Ever heard of...shit cna't remember. methyldateCD? I heard about from a rep for the co. who makes it,...you know

 

[KAYNE]

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT DEXADRINE? THE ADDY WORKS FINE FOR ME. I CAN ACTUALLY FEEL IT WORKING WHEN ITS PEAKING.


KAYNE

 

[KAYNE]

IF YOURE TAKING RITALIN AT THAT DOSE FOR THAT LONG, YOU SHOULD BE ON ADDERALL BY NOW.



KAYNE

 

[AmstaffTnacty]

Yeah, Dexadrine. Didn't feel much from it, from what I remember. I think the next time I see the doc, I'm going to ask about Adderal.

Since I've been taking ritalin for so long, do you think it'll have a better affect?

 

[KAYNE]

ADDY WORKS MUCH BETTER THAN RITALIN.
