Im a 19yr old female college student and just previously been diagnosed for ADHD this summer. And have been taken ritalin for about 1 1/2 mths. I am suppose to be taking 40mg a day. 1 20mg twice a day.
But find myself taking sometimes 100mg a day.
Not only does it help me concentrate but it makes me not hungry. im not overweight but am a female teenager that is very self consious about my weight. especially since i use to never think i could gain weight until i went to college.
i also love all the side effects and now im addicted to ritalin.
how much would be consider overdosing? Could it be dangerous?
