Sorry for clickbait title but bear with me.
I have snorted Ritalin a few times. It's been fine. But one thing I have noticed - while before, I was that "weird kid", I had little understanding of social interaction etc, I was still never anxious to a larger degree.
Now, going to a boarding school, surrounded by people 24/7, I get so anxious socially that I start shaking if the group is more than 10 people.
I can't remember feeling this way when I was a loser back in high school. I look good now, I'm 6'3, well dressed, good build... But when I sit in class I'll constantly fidgeting with something or shaking. I sweat and my face turns red. This effect somewhat goes away in the evening which makes me think that Ritalin may be causing my anxiety but I am not sure, on the flip side, when I snorted it I turned into a social butterfly so it shouldn't be making me anxious.
Please fucking help.
>TL;DR: i have terrible social anxiety, can ritalin have anything to do with it?

why did you take it? for better grades and more concentration? Ritalin is for people that have serious ADHD problems. It may be that you have slightly problems on focussing and Ritalin is causing you withdrawal symptoms. You should stop taking it and consult a doc if it doesn't get better.

I do have ADD and I have started performing much better when it's working, but the withdrawal symptoms are really bad and make me anxious as fuck for two to three hours.

can't you ask your doc for another med? Just tell him your problems and say you want another med.
