Can someone tell me the symptoms of an overdose?

It all depends on the reason for the Ritalin. People with ADHD take ritalin because it maintains their brain on focusing. If you use this drug and you do not have ADHD then you speed your brains out and it causes central nervous system hyperactivity. Overdose symptoms would be and could be almost anything from hyperventilating to a heart attack. If you swallowed a bunch of the pills they would probably pump your stomach with a tube known as gastric lavage, or they would use charcoal. If you injected Ritalin and overdosed, they would probably give you Narcan and bring you out of it.

Why would you want to do that?? For attention???? Do you often engage in ' attention seeking behavior' with minor suicidal attempts. This is very serious, because people who do this sometimes actually do die..... by accident.
Please seek help from a Psychologist or Psychiatrist, you have a serious mental illness.

You should call your doctor. Why do you ask?
