What can you take to counteract stimulant effects of Ritalin I've heard large doses of Vitamin C helps?

No vitamin C does not work directly, because Methylphenidate's chemical structure does not interact with the serotonin receptors of the brain like amphetamine based stimulants do, but rather interact with the dopamine receptors directly. But, if the pill was swallowed then Vitamin C will break it down faster, which will not counteract the effects, but rather increase the intensity of the effects, but shorten the length of time the effects will take place. Truthfully there is no counteracting vitamin that I am aware of you can take. B12 and Potassium(Bananas, mangos, Blueberries), Vitamin C and plenty of water will cause the body to break it down faster, but that is all.


Blood take too long to clot...... i need to know what can i eat to help my blood to clot the normal way?

Calcium is necessary for the normal blood clotting mechanisms that begin the process of wound healing. Good sources of calcium include dairy products, such as low fat and non fat milk, low fat cheese and lowfat yogurt are good dietary sources of calcium. Vitamin D fortified milk is the only reliable dietary source of vitamin D, a nutrient essential for calcium absorption. Vitamin K: The primary function of vitamin K is to regulate normal blood clotting. The vitamin is important for the production of prothrombin, a protein essential for blood coagulation. Vitamin K is found in green or leafy vegetables, such as broccoli, turnip greens, romaine lettuce and cabbage. Cheese, egg yolk, and liver contain small amounts of the vitamin. large doses of vitamin K can be toxic and supplements of this are available through prescription only. Large doses of vitamin E might interfere with the blood clotting functions of vitamin K. Deficiency in vitamin K is rare except in newborn infants, the vitamin is synthesized by microorganisms in the mature intestinal tract, but the establishment of bacteria takes days to weeks for newborns. There are also medications that affect the vitamin K absorption such as coumarin, warfarin,heparin, and salicylates. Liver disease and and malabsorption syndroem would also affect vitamin K absorption. these conditions require therepeutic doses from a physician to control.
