The side affects at the therapeutic dose (10-50 mg once a day) are increased attention, mental clarity, a wierd feeling of being interested in anything one comes across, acuity, appetite suppression, slightly elevated heart rate, talkativeness, compartmentalization, and a general feeling of well being. At higher doses, and when crushed and sniffed repeatedly in an addictive fashion, Ritalin provides more intense effects. Sleeplessness, high blood-pressure, no appetite/ rapid weight loss, irritability, euphoria, excitement, mood swings, grandiose thoughts, dilated pupils, blood recession (blood leaves extremities like fingers, toes, eyes, nose) causing cold/numbness.
