I was always kind of skeptical of the type of person that swears Ritalin got them to the finals, bit happy there is now some evidedence as well.

Holy crap thank you, I’ve been having the most confounding muscle tightness ever since my dose was raised and I never figured out why. I’ll look into those magnesium supplements and let my doc know too, thanks for the tip
God, it’s awful, right?? I’m upset that not a lot of medicated folks know about the magnesium thing! It really does have an affect on your life. Best part is, when you take it, you typically get relief in like 20 minutes or so!
Magnesium oxide & magnesium citrate are not great to take. Oxide has a wildly poor absorption rate, and will typically just make you have diarrhea instead of doing what it’s supposed to. Citrate taken long-term will actually make it so your body builds a tolerance to your meds. I’m not exactly sure why, but it does.
Definitely bring it up to your doctor! Super glad I mentioned it.
