Plugged 40mg is definitely recreational! I don't understand when I read opinions that Ethylphenidate is more recreational, it is the opposite to me. EPH gives hardly any euphoria. I feel my skin tingle when I plug this, in a nice way.
I guess it's because snorting is shit! Stop snorting it you losers. Even bombing it is definitely nicer.
I know what you mean by the tingle. Plugged 50 mg tonight to keep me up to do work (been up since 3 AM for an early morning flight) and wow was it feckin' awesome to feel that rush come on - and then stay for 2 - 3 hours. Great feeling to lay back in exhaustion and think "oh wow" as the waves of euphoria and over-all good feeling coupled with energy and relaxation (the only RC stim I've tried that is relaxing, as opposed to giving the jitters) set in and make my skin tingle. Now, a few hours later, after a couple wanks, getting my work done, reading this website, and a couple drinks I'm feeling quite happy and clear-headed, but also ready for bed. And I know I'll sleep relatively okay, and feel and look fine tomorrow morning.
On the other hand, ethylphenidate is complete crap compared to MPA. I've tried insufflating small doses of the crystal ethylphendiate I got without redosing, small doses with redosing, one large dose early afternoon without redosing, and tried the same by bombing. Makes me feel scatter-brained, jittery, anxious, and wonder if anybody else can tell I'm on something. I don't get that feeling with MPA. I think this could possibly be a good trait since it really kils any urge to redose. Eth also requires copious amounts of alcohol to be somewhat enjoyable, which makes me feel and look like absolute death the following day.
I'm gonna try plugging it sometime soon as my MPA supply is low and I need a temporary replacement (down to 100 mg) and although my trusted Polish vendor has it back in stock, they don't seem to be taking credit cards for whatever reason. Also not tried plugging it because I'm just afraid it'll just make the horrible effects I feel even worse.
I hope it won't. It's a shame that ethylphenidate seems to be an absolutely awesome substance for a few people, but rubbish for me (and quite a few others). I'd really like to experience what the people who rave about it do (especially from people who rate it higher than coke, which is a high bar - if not the highest).
