How Much Is Too Much When Using Focalin Xr 15mg Recreationally?

I opened and crunched 24 focal xr 15mg capsules in about 14-16 hrs. I have a very high tolerance to any drug, and I'm a small female. I feel shaky but ok. Is that too much? Just a waste probably- the buzz didn't get better....

From what I could gather, Doses above 30 mg/day in pediatrics and 40 mg/day in adults have not been studied and are not recommended. There is also no body of evidence available from controlled trials to indicate how long the patient with ADHD should be treated with Focalin XR.

So if you're using Focalin XR (Dexmethylphenidate Hydrochloride) in a recreational manner, I would still play it safe and definitely steer clear from taking so many capsules. Nervousness and anxiety are both common side effects of taking too much, which may have attributed to the shakiness you speak of.

There's a patient information PDF file on this drug that you can view and download by clicking here:

I would honestly recommend trying to see an addiction specialist to help taper your dose down. No one should be taking 24 15mg capsules, when a maximum dose is 30-40mg. If you need help locating any resources for assistance in your area please post back.

I hope this helps!
