My first time taking ritalin was WILD, then it really slowed down and my heart beat stopped being crazy so it could be just your body having to adapt to the medication
So you just took the same dose the next day?
Your body doesnt get used to that, the only method it has for this is tolerance.
So if you just take big amounts every day, tolerance may make it seem as if it was less. Still you have possibly too much in your blood...
Yup took the same dose 🤷 I have increased it twice ever since too
Yes because you build up a tolerance 😅 still, increasing the dose increases the stress on your body, what it needs to digest, and possibly more.
