One day I decided to take a whole bunch of my Ritalin at 10mg per pill. For the first 20 to 30 minutes, I felt nothing but a weird lightheaded feeling and then some heart palpitations. I felt fine otherwise.

After about a half an hour, I began to feel odd. When I'd move my eyes, there would be trails of color from what I just saw following my eye movement. I felt dizzy and began to feel like my body weighed 10 thousand pounds (over exaggeration here). I felt sluggish and didn't really want to move. I'd stare at things for a long long time and unintentionally study the most specific details in things. I'd stare at clocks and minutes would go by but it would feel like hours.

The weird thing is that when someone would be talking to me, I'd hear them but wouldn't respond and I would know they were talking to me but wouldn't understand or process what they were saying.

After about 4 hours I decided to go home and take more before it started to wear off. I went home and took about 40 mg more which was added to the initial 80mg I took before. This continued the feeling I've had the past 4 hours and it honestly felt great.

My hands and body were shaking and I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, although it wasn't faster or slower than usual, it was simply pounding. I attempted to play Grand Theft Auto and I couldn't figure out what was going on. My hands weren't steady and my vision was laggy. Everything I saw was delayed and didn't match up with what I was hearing.

Overall I'd say my experience was pretty great. I'd definitely do it again minus the fact that I was scared out of my mind that my organs were going to shut down.
