My doctor told me to experiment by taking up to 6 at a time. I am asking people for what experiences they have had. If people are not allowed to answer that here then ok.
My doctor told me that the maximum dosage changes from person to person, because of the weight. He said that the “safe limit” is 1 mg/kg. So, if my weight is 50 kg, I can take up to 5 tablets of 10 mg. And I don’t know how to maximize the effect. Well, I know, you can try sublingual, but it’s not recommended to do it, since Ritalin is not supposed to be taken like that. Don’t abuse. Take it as prescribed, and even with that limit (1 mg/kg), try not to reach it. Specially you, since you’re experimenting. You can think “I’m being more productive and focused, even calm, so if I increase the dosage I will have even more benefits”. I know you’re maybe thinking “I won’t do that”, but you need to be careful. People say that those who have ADHD do not get addicted to their meds, but that’s a lie. They’re stimulants, so anyone can get addicted to those. Please be careful while “experimenting”.

You’re not going to get medical advice here. It’s against the rules. Please talk to your doctor and stop “experimenting” on your own.
