Anyone found that after having taken stronger stimulants (coke, amphetamine, meth) that you would rather have caffeine than ritalin? I find that it is dysphoric and although i can concentrate, it cannot be put to good use due to a generally shit body feeling. I much prefer caffeine to ritalin and honestly feel that ritalin has extremely little recreational value. Ive tried to study on it but just feel so shit that i cannot bring myself to work.
 
Ritalin was the first "high" I ever experienced. I thought it was the shit, now I consider it that. Shit. Ritalin sucks, but i'm not a speedy person anyways.
 
I think I'm an odd cat... I prefer extended release ritalin to almost any other ADHD med I've ever tried.

For recreation it's obviously crap, but for getting stuff done? I love it.
 
It's funny, ritalin was also one of my first 'highs'. I took (stole) about 4 pills from when I was about 17and had a horrible experience. I only abused it a couple times after that in smaller doses. I, now having tried many other stimulants, agree with you that ritalin is not very recreational. I much prefer (good) coke or adderall as my upper of choice. Would I have caffeine rather than ritalin ? After coke-yes. If I did NOT have coke, then no-I'd take the ritalin. In my mind I justify those as the best (safest) choices.
 
To the OP: Definately, I hate ritalin, adderall, all of that shit. The reason is, It makes my body feel terrible. Like you said, I can focus but don't want to do anything because I feel so bad. Some people love it and some hate it, I hate it. I don't know about ritalin, but the only exception for me is NAME BRAND adderall. Its the only one that does not give me a terrible headache and all of the other bad side effects that generic adderall does. Some people will disagree with this but that is how it is with me, although either way I still don't really like it. In general I just don't understand it all with amphetamines. I just try to avoid them. I thought that amphetamines would make me all speedy and happy and wanting to clean the house and run around with my arms up in the air, boy I was wrong. I guess it does this for some people, I think that maybe we are not some of those people. Its truly unfortunate though. Oh well just give some good ol' opiates and I'll be fine.

Its not one of my first highs but im with you on the coke/adderall thing. The comedown off ritalin is worse for me than the other two as well. I dont get why college kids splash out good money for it!

after trying dexadrine for a while it really loses it's magic.

first few times are great but my body isn't even stimulated anymore, I fall asleep on amphetamines, believe it or not :S
 
The high really sucks unless you got those IR tabs. In which case they are decent at best. However that concerta shit is horrible for a high and sometimes to study (since it lasts so long).
 
I was force fed Ritalin from kimdergarden through high school. Then my crazy mom wondered why I was "hyper". Blech stupidity should be painful!
 
yeah, i never really liked rits. the highs are not as good as with amphetamines, and the lows are much worse.

Ritalin = shyt
 
oh my fuck yes i do know what you mean. i HATE ritalin with a FIERY passion. it is arguably one of the worst recreational drugs out there. the high itself is full of anxiety and shit body load and the come down is absolutly horrifying, don't think on sleeping that's for sure. even if im fucking smashed loaded i still cannot sleep for the life of me while if i did coke i'd be finee to sleep as long as i was drunk.

i also used to love this before i tried any other stims, used to give me motivation to do my work in school and talk to people but eventually it lost everything that once i found appealing. now if someone offers me a line i laugh in their face.

it's insane to the amount of money people will pay for those things around here these days, back when i used to do them they went for 2 bucks for a 10 mg IR tab, 2.50 max. now i hear people buying them for $5+ for single tabs! insane, i don't know why people actually shell out that kind of cash for them.

because they are amazing if you have an exam to do
 
I dont know about anyone else here, but I LOVE ritalin. I do not have ADHD, or any health concerns that I know about.
I agree about eating it though, it doesnt produce much of a high at all even though it does help with studying and concentration.

Railing it though is another story! If I have the chance to, I usually snort ritalin over ecstasy (shitty comedown), alcohol (which I love) or any other easy available drug... Pretty europhic, clear minded, and my thoughts come together quite nicely.

Having said that, I've only gotten a come down from it the first time I've done it. I can usually sleep 4 hours after railing it, although I've noticed that i go to sleep about half an hour later on the days that I do it.
I just feel good for the rest of the day and clear minded.



Not to mention that when I smoke weed after Ritalin it's insanly europhic while being somewhat in control. But than again weed has always been a wonderful drug to me.
 
I have ADD and am prescribed Methylphenidate (Novartis 10 mg IR Ritalin tablets) and I love the stuff, a benzo on the comedown usually works for me unless I have had a two day binge blowing 400+ mg with some OxyContin mixed for the pseudo 'speedball' effect.

Maybe you guys are getting the generics or the SR versions since 100 mg snorted will deff produce a rush way better than Caffeine. :D
