Ritalin and finals are coming up.?!


Question: Ritalin and finals are coming up.?
Ok so today my friend randomly gave me some free ritalin. With finals coming up, I was thinking about taking one before school so I can concentrate better during reviews/tutoring and studying. I need high test grades before the semester ends and I can't seem to study without thinking of other things going on. The pills are 60mg and I have never used any other medications for AD/HD. So basicly my question is: is it safe to take for three days in a row and then stopping without any feelings of addiction, depression, etc. Also, 60mg seems like a lot compared to other dosages.

First off I would advise you to never take a prescription medication without being prescribed it. Secondly 60mg is a high dosage (this is the highest recommended dosage) with taking Ritalin their can be side effects you want to use this for finals well the most common side effects of this drug is nervousness and insomnia. You can also get Anxiety, Dizziness, Headaches, Nausea and quite a few other things.

Ritalin can have a very high dependence rate because it is vary close in structure to cocaine.

I would also check to make sure that what you were given is Ritalin because from what I can find it doesn't come in 60mg tablets or capsules.
