how old ru and what's your height?
 
average height in Portugal is 5'8, you look like tanner stage 3-4, you will probably grow at least an additional inch,
you will most likely be average in Portugal

This thread is retarded, since I was a kid, I was on the strongest dose of concerta (same as ritalin but lasts longer) which is 54mg, and at 16 I stopped growing at a height of 6 foot 4.

It's not like I could have become 6 foot 9 if I didn't take concerta, my mom is 5 foot 8 and my dad is 5 foot 10, I don't come from a family of giants.

And while I was on concerta, I was always underweight because the high dose suppressed my appetite for most of the day, so I didn't eat anything at lunchtime and I didn't eat enough in the morning and evening to compensate for that.

I think the only thing you can say about ritalin is that it does have the ability to make you very skinny and weak which causes you to have less muscle mass than the average person before you start lifting weights, this doesn't reduce your muscular potential though but it makes you way more skinny and weak than you could have been during high school and makes it more difficult to make progress in the gym at first because you need to eat to grow but you're never hungry because years of taking the medication has given you a permanent low appetite.

It took me 2 years to increase my appetite from being able to eat only 1500 calories per day (and only when I ate junk food) to being able to consume 1500 calories of healthy food in a single 15 minute meal. I had to force feed myself and eat fast for a very long amount of time though but now, I am able to eat a lot more than before because my body is used to it, my stomach can take it, but before, when I tried to eat more, it gave me terrible acid reflux.

Because of concerta, I was always the weakest kid in gym class so I always got picked last and because I was skinny, guys who were shorter than me were able to push me around just because they were fatter than me and had more muscle mass and strength as a result. If I hadn't been on that medication, I would have grown into a more muscular tall guy with more fat too, but I would never have graduated high school and I would have had to redo many of my grades because my ADHD is that bad. Without the medication I am like a low IQ idiot, and with the medication, I am the smartest guy in the class. I know the difference because I tried for long periods of time to quit the medication, that's actually how I managed to increase my appetite. Now I can take the medication without having appetite problems.
