Ritalin???

[P.I]

I have a diagnosis that requires that I use Ritalin(methylfenidat)..
Will this affect my training if I still eat right?

I've heard that it's not good for the muscles since it's chemically related to amphetamines....

Anyone have experience with this?

I have to take Aderal 20mg a day(time release ritalin) because of my A.D.D. I love it, it not only gives me a little extra something at the gym but I stay so focused..it like I'm on a mission. I can say it kills my appetite but during the day while the Aderal is in full effect I only eat because I know I have too, not because I'm hungry. I always have 2 100g protien shakes in my office at work to sip off of throughout the day in between meals(2). But at around 5-6pm it wares off and I chow down at night(3 meals) and a 60g shake before bed if I'm not stuffed, if I am I'll slam it when I wake up in the middle of the night to take a leak.

I had to take ritalin when I was a lot younger(13) but I couldn't stand that shit....way too dramatic. With Aderal you really never know its kicked in or your on it other than you are more focused and for me I don't stumble over words or lose my train of thought but w/R that shit was like doing a bump of crystal.. and following a jolt of energy always comes a CRASH....thats how it effected me, but we're all different.

Thats my 2 cents, good luck bro

Ritalin will give you some go. It is a form of speed. You are increasing synoptic activity in your brain.
I started on Ritalin, but my Dr. swithced me to Effexor. I don't like the Effexor because it makes me sleepy. I want to try that Adrel mentioned earlier.

The most relief I get is when riding my Motorcycle (CBR 1100) top speed 176. Something about the motion causes me to relax and focus. I also love Video games and Martial arts. Anything intense.

Sound Familiar?

Like FknKnuckleHd said, just make sure you are eating enough to support your growth and keep up your protein intake thoughout the day.

People say the appetite suppressing effects are like speed, that being the case you need to forcefeed because you won't feel hungry.

I t won't effect weight gains as long as you still eat a satisfactory amount of food.
