I don’t just say that because I’m some jingoist hirka dirka, but I have first-hand experience with both. StimDate is much better than Novartis’ Ritalin. I am a recreational user of Ritalin (I’m bipolar and been to the nuthouse twice over it, so Ritalin is not what I should be taking but I my medication makes me so tired) and I get my stuff off the black market. StimDate costs $20 per 100 tablets. Novartis costs $60 per 100 tablets. All the other brands cost some where in between. Novartis is still good though. The WORST Ritalin is made by India/Pakistan. These fuckers can’t make shit, so they should not attempt to make shit. Last time I took Indian Ritty, I was manic for a month and broke several plates and a jar of olive oil.
And this, gentlemen, is the product of decades of greed in the Great American Health Scam©®™
Novartis is a Swiss company bucko. America got shit to do with my post.
Where do you think ritalin came from, boyo
How are you ingesting it?
In South Africa, one of the instant release Ritalin generics is called METHYLPHENIDATE HCL-DOUGLAS (catchy, right?)
When I used to snort the substance, Ritalin didn’t feel as potent as the generic. Was a bit annoying to crush too. Orally, I couldn’t really tell the difference.
I had a little milligram scale. I don’t recall the exact mass, but I remember the Ritalin tablet being considerably heavier than the generic.
Could be the different types of binding agents, preservatives or whatever else a pill needs to be a pill besides the active pharmaceutical ingredient not working well in your system.
Otherwise, try to take it easy. As far as I recall, stims and bipolar disorder don’t play nice long term. One of my closest friends who had the disorder sadly never managed to kick his coke habit.
I only take 1 20mg extended release a day. I used to take about 40 10mg children’s per 3 days that I was constantly awake but I gave up that habit.
