Ritalin Question?

Question

I considering taking Ritalin, to help improve my focus. I'm in college and would like to use it to get the most of my studying time. Do I need a prescription for it, or can I purchase it off the Internet.

If you had any experience with this drug or others like it can you give me some information please. Or if you taken something called No Doze let me know.

If you don't think Ritalin would be a good idea, can you suggest another drug that could be used to help me focus and concentrate more.

Answer 1

Maybe your answer isn't drugs. A simple thing to check is if you are getting 6-8 hours of sleep each day. But it may also go back to nutrition. Drugs should be a last resort. Think about it, how do you develop a deficiency for a drug that is not natural to your body? Fish oil contains EPA and DHA essential fatty acids and have been shown to help the brain. But really, you may want to look at the whole approach. If you aren't eating as you should, then you should expect some repercussions. Eat whole foods, not processed, fresh is better than cooked or otherwise preserved.

Answer 2

Ritalin is a prescription medication used to treat ADHD. It's not intended to be used to improve your performance unless you actually have ADHD or ADD, which would be diagnosed by a doctor. It's also popular among college students as a way to enhance their academic performance, but this use is almost invariably illegal. Because of it's popularity as a "study drug," Ritalin is a controlled substance, meaning that it's even harder to get than most non-narcotic prescription drugs. Prescriptions for Ritalin are for 30 days and are non-refillable, so people taking the drug to treat ADHD have to see their doctor at least once a month for a new prescription. The main reason those restrictions exist is, quite bluntly, so people like you can't get their hands on it. So the bottom line is that I wouldn't recommend you try it.

Besides being a controlled substance, Ritalin is also a stimulant and an appetite suppressant. That means that if you're taking a higher dose than is needed, you won't eat and you won't sleep. That's a bad thing.

The active ingredient in Ritalin is a derivative of caffeinee. So go for caffein pills (like No Doze) instead. Those will help improve your focus as well, although they're not nearly as strong as Ritalin.
