[why quit? are there any long term side effects?]

thanks for the response man.

i remember i also had one the feeling of tingling in my arm, and the eyelid thing.

before i went to the doctor to get a prescription (got 36mg) a friend gave me a 54mg pill to try (i weight 66kg), so i guess it was the extra dose.  perhaps the eyelid thing happened to me again one or two times, don't remember exactly but that's it.

do you have a link to refer me regarding the connection to pd?

[why quit? are there any long term side effects?]

thanks for all the respones guys.

now, to my point. i came here because i'm looking for long term side effects. 

i have no problem with the psychological issues - "i know i'm better only with the pill". that's fine by me.

reading the article about the stages, i would say i'm in stage 3, altough i have exprienced some depressions + Nihilism, mainly the feeling i sometimes have is - "ok i have all this power, but it won't last forever, sometime in the future i will die, and what does it matter". i think i had 2-3 panic attacks about death in the last 2.5 years, but i think it was something i already thought about before using. its kinda like the pill makes me feel so good, all worries are gone, and the only worry left is death

 

now, as for things declining, i am not a person to take more then the dosage i'm supposed to, snort it or whatever. i'm a little hypochondriac so no worries there (if a supermodel would come and say lets fuck, but without a condom, i wouldn't do it).

for example if you told me right now, there is a research from a creditable univ, that shows taking concerta will increase the risk for brain cancer by 40% when i'l be 70, i will throw all the pills right away. now, as this community probably knows a thing or two about the pill, perhaps someone can direct me to such metarial, if it exists.

hey guys

i have been using concerta (not exactly adderall but i think same point) for the last 2.5 hours (i'm 31 years old) taking a pill 3-4 days a week. i love the feeling i get when i'm on concerta, i feel like i have super powers on it, can do insane amount of work while on it (i'm a freelancer billing by the hour..), nothing gets me bored, i'm more creative and i feel i can do just about anything i want. even being home, even just watching tv, i feel i am better on it.

only downside i felt so far, is that in a day that i took the concerta (it affects for 12 hours), when the pill effect is gone, i feel like my battery is dead so to say, as if i crunched all the hours of being up into 12 condensed hours, and i need to go to sleep right after. i would have liked it to not be like this, but it's not the worst thing.

i only take it 3-4 days a week because i feel taking it every day has to be wrong, health-wise.. usually its 0-1 pills in the weekend, and the rest in work days (if i have a day of errands i won't take it because it will be a waste for me). the fact that the pill lasts for 12 hours is a good thing in that sense i can't take it mid-day, since i won't go to sleep at a normal time. that means i have a window of say 4 hours from the moment i wake up till i can take it, which means i only need to resist the urge for 4 hours

 

searching the net for long term side effects, i haven't found any, and i was wondering if i'm missing something. i don't mind the short term side effects, like the one i described, or little mood swings, i am only worried about the long term effects. if you told me its 100% safe, and nothing will happen, i think i would take the pill almost every day

what do you think?
