How long do you have to do it for before that becomes noticeable?
I have never noticed myself gaining weight, I have noticed food tasting great! In regards to weight gain I can only refer to the experiences of those who quit smoking, although even then the process of quitting smoking provokes all sorts of other complications.
I can say that if you use ritalin every day for one month then stop you can expect everything to seem somewhat dull for a week, like the contrast has been turned down. With nicotine you can approximately expect the reverse. I cannot tell you whether that is good or bad for you in particular.
Pardon me, that was what I was getting at with the ‘dull’ and the reverse. It applies to all your senses and taste is perhaps the most obvious of those. You could try three days then one day off. That usually makes things taste good. But to be honest I’m not sure that would be the counter-regulation of dopaminargic receptors. It’s probably just being hungry after a few days of stimulant based appetite suppression.
To expect to experience significant withdrawal effects after one month you would need to be using it most days. Within-week cycling slows that down.

I was more interested in the food tasting really good part.
How often during that month would you have to use it to get that kind of response, in your experience?
