I was on so much Ritalin that I had 84 seizures and my heart stopped beating for nearly 10 minutes. It was awesome! It impresses no one as only losers and old people take prescription drugs.
So - Marla is also a pill popper -
https://www.addictioncenter.com/stimulants/ritalin/Understanding RitalinRitalin is a Methylphenidate, which is a Central Nervous System (CNS) Stimulant. Methylphenidates have effects and pharmacological uses similar to Amphetamines and Cocaine.
Ritalin comes in tablets and capsules and is mostly prescribed to children and adults for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or narcolepsy. It comes in both sustained-release and extended-release compounds. When used according to a prescription by properly diagnosed individuals, Ritalin has a calming effect and helps them focus on tasks. There is widespread agreement that Ritalin, when taken as prescribed and intended, is a comparatively safe drug.
Although it has demonstrated significant efficacy in treating ADHD, Ritalin also comes with high abuse potential. During the surge of Ritalin prescriptions throughout the 1990s, there was a consequent rise in abuse. Ritalin is especially dangerous as a recreational drug both because recreational users typically take much larger doses than what would be prescribed and because recreational users typically crush the pills and either snort or inject them, delivering the medication to the body much more quickly. If you or a family member is struggling with addiction, reach out to a treatment provider today.
