so the title is pretty self explanatory... I am an experienced iv user of opiates (mainly hydromorphone), but I have recently come into possession of some 10mg methylphenidate tablets. I want to iv one or 2 of them to see how the rush of iv methylphenidate is, but I have heard about the so-called Ritalin lung and I do NOT want this to happen to me... so I was wondering, what would the chance of this occurring be from a one-time iv use of this drug? I only have 6 tablets and I do not have regular access to them at all (they just kind of fell into my lap, so to say) so I don't expect to get carried away, and even if I do, I only have the 6 tabs so I wont get carried away for very long at all... if I even do.
so if anyone could tell me the chance of running into complications (besides the usual risks of iv use of any drug) like Ritalin-lung, it would be very helpful and would give me something to base my decision of whether or not to iv this particular drug.
my normal prep for iv'ing involves crushing and dissolving whatever tablets I plan to iv in water, heating until I get the slightest rolling bubble, then using a filter (the type provided with those steri-cup cooking cups that are provided at my local needle exchange) and using a brand new sterile needle, drawing up the solution into the syringe through the filter, and finding a vein and shooting away.
any help and advice would be much appreciated.
Edit: after more research ive decided that it isn't worth the risk to try and iv this drug. I will probably plug it or just get rid of the pills to one of my friends, never really been one for stims anyways... and I also have decided that I will try to cut back and eventually stop iv'ing the opiates and anything else as well. the research ive done is telling me that (obviously) iv'ing pills is very stupid and not worth the risk and long-term negative effects.
