30mg at once is a relatively normal dose. Although it isn't uncommon for someone to experience adverse reactions with 30mg +
When I abused Ritalin recreational, I use to administer 120mg in two goes. I suggest you talk to your doctor about it or try another medication such as Concerta, still Methylphenidate but an extended release where it is released through a 12 hour period. Making it harder to abuse too.

1. What do you suggest taking if i switch to a drug like Adderall or Vyvanse?
|
Adderal or Vyvanse are more effective in general.. Methylphenidate is only a backbone to pharmaceutical speed while Adderal and Vy are amphetamines.

2. Is there anything i can do to help Ritalin gain its effectiveness back?
|
Not really, besides stop taking it for a while... and reducing acidic and sugary intake. Never take Ritalin with soda or after you've binged on sugars and acidic food.

3. Why did Ritalin just stop working?
|
Your body may have suddenly developed a swiftly tolerance towards it and required more to feel the effects but too much of it became an adverse reaction.
