YOU MONSTER DONT LEAVE ME IN AGONY 😂😂🤣

I'm curious to know why not to do it as well. I'll probably never do ritalin or steroids but I'm still curious. Like, does it cause heart attack and/or multiple organ failure? Does it cause vomiting? Does it make you generally feel like shit like a hangover?

I had to take prednisone for twelve days. On the first day I took it with my Vyvanse and ended up struggling with really bad anxiety all day. I barely felt like I could breathe. So I spent the rest of the days off my Vyvanse and now I'm terribly far behind on everything xD

Eh? I just had 5 days of steroids due to a cold and didn’t notice anything when taking Ritalin…

Well, to expand, I had a cough for three weeks, just could not rest, took a break from work Monday, got steroids and a chat with my psych on Tuesday, so on Wednesday after two days of no ritalin/deep rest and a new pr resting heartbeat (I love health gameifaction) I decided to start back easy with half my normal dose of ritalin and my second max dose of steroids 8x5mg (I think)

It was a lot like that bradley cooper movie, no idea the name, "I can maintain" just got lots done, including dusting off my bike and going for a spin, https://sh.itjust.works/post/20050726

Anyway the rest of day was fine really, I just kinda lay there until 5 in the morning, getting more annoyed about how I've fucked up Thursday just because I couldn't sleep.

I am probably just way overdoing the ritalin at 60mg a day, so 30mg+max adult dose of steroids after two days with no ritalin was stilk too much.
