I've never experience or heard of anyone who has experienced any sort of a crash.

Well, you've heard it from me.

When Ritalin kicks in, there is a very mild feeling of well-being, very analogous to the feeling one may get after the day's first cup of coffee. It lasts for maybe a half hour. When it hits me, usually when I'm on my hour commute to work, I know everything is about to slip into focus, and that I will no longer be able to daydream until it wears off. Constant daydreaming is a big problem/gift I have that Ritalin all but eliminates.

The "crash" is exactly the opposite of this. For me, it's almost like a homesick feeling. Depression is too strong, and anger is not quite right, but it's a feeling of not really wanting to do anything. I've won gigantic pots when in this state, and felt absolutely nothing. It also lasts about half an hour. When it goes away, I'm usually ready for bed.

I've been able to manage this rebound by reminding myself it's the Ritalin, and not anything going on in front of me, that's making me feel this way. Also, since I switched to the longer-acting Ritalin LA, the "crashes" have been much more manageable, although the standard-release form probably works a little better for me.

Remember, these things affect different people differently.
