Was This Incident Caused by Ritalin Withdrawl?
Question by Jake L: Was this incident caused by Ritalin withdrawl?
Hey,
I used Ritalin for ADHD from early middle school until the end of junior year of High School. Coincidentally, I also began smoking pot at the same tiime (it was around on 4/20 when I first smoked and I decided to stop using ritalin a few days before, just a coincidence). I smoked several times on 4/20 and the day after, and then stopped. About a week later, I had a weird day where I was very tired, and almost fell asleep outside during the middle of the day. I was very disoriented and it was hard to focus. I had the same reaction except more sever the next day. The day after that I did not have any severe effects I can remember, but then that night at dinner there was an incident. I was eating with my friends parents when my vision started to become blurry, I then felt some of the previously explained symptoms very severely. I told my friend I wasn’t feeling good and went outside to get some fresh air. I waited outside for a while, really freaking out because of the symptoms. I couldnt focus on anything and my mind was going crazy and I just felt really uncomfortable and nervous and felt not in control of my mind and out of my body. My friend came out and asked if I was ok and I told him what I was feeling and he sat with me for a while. The symptoms faded after maybe 20 minutes after that, and I never experienced anything like that again. I never used ritalin again, except once when I took the SAT’s, but I am in college now and I smoke quite often during times and not that often, on and on, but never experiened anything like that before. I don’t think it had to do with the weed just putting that in there because I started smoking the same time this happened. Anyone know what this was? I think it was ritalin withdrawl but I can’t find anything on the internet about it. Before the incidents I had used ritalin during most days and usually not during the weekends and less during the summer, never had any side effects or withdrawl symptoms.
Thanks,

Probably a side effect of marijuana as well as ritalin withdrawal. So you smoke pot; don’t you know that is illegal because it is dangerous. Ritalin is also dangerous. See “ritalin side effects” in Yahoo! web search.
See, www.Cchrint.org/2009/09/15/no_more_adhd/ for a video by Dr. Mary Ann Block on alternatives to drugs for ADHD which is considered by her as a misdiagnosis.
