Could you tell me what happens if i take 2 10mg ritalins (methylphenidate) without adhd?

20 mg ritalin (methylphenidate): Your most likely reaction will be an increase in alertness. You may become jittery, develop anxiety, restlessness and headache. The effect should subside in a couple of hour.

Ritalin (methylphenidate): We know now that Ritalin (methylphenidate) helps most people with focus and attention whether or not they have ADHD. Ritalin (methylphenidate) can be prescribed for Narcolepsy and other conditions as well and in certain occasions to people with psych conditions other than ADHD. What the previous Dr. said about your possible response to the meds is right. Stimulant medications generally work through the body quickly.
