I would never advise one to take that amount of this drug. Your blood pressure was likely elevated ant the stress on your system produced the symptoms cited. The idea that some helps and more helps more doesn't apply to ADHD drugs at the high end of the dose range. You are lucky you didn't end up in the ER.

Your symptoms were consistent with methylphenidate toxicity, with other conditions impossible to be ruled out. Best would be to inform your prescriber so that you receive clear recommendations regarding future use.
