Alright, I have a friend who has a steady supply of Equasym 30mg and 10mg's. At the moment to get a high he snorts them but he complains that the high doesn't last as long as he wants it to (15-30 minutes). He has a large tolerance and needs to snort 120mg to get high. Obviously he's tired of constantly crushing up pills and snorting large quantities of powder so I suggested an idea and was wondering what you all think.

I suggested that if he left the time release coating on and took a larger dose (maybe 200-250mg) he would have a much longer and enjoyable high. I told him not to do it until I get some opinions and he won't. This should work for sure but I was thinking there could be some cardiac problems with a possibility of OD'ing. He's parachuted MPH before and it still only lasted an hour, he wants to get more out of it.

Any opinions would be appreciated, thanks.
 
That (120mg) is quite a high dose, but if your friend's tolerance level is that high then that is what it is...if that makes any sense.

If he wants the high to last longer he should stop snorting them, thats for sure. He could either swallow them whole as the pills were designed to be used, or parachute them, I realize he has already parachuted MPH...but when he did this, was he using the same dosage he was using while snorting the MPH?

Cardiac risks do increase with those high of dosages.

I do not recommend jumping from 120mg to 200-250mg, that could lead to serious complications. Any dose increases should be done gradually, with great attention paid to side effects vs. desired effects ("high"), etc.

Best of luck.

What I'm trying to say is since it's time released he would need to take much more to get the desired effects.

For example with DXM I normally take 600mg and get fucked up beyond belief, but when I take Delsym (time released DXM) I need to take 1600mg to get the same effect.
 
16 fuckin hundred to get high!? That is insane!

The effects of snorting Ritalin are much different than taking them orally. He won't get the same high and will just keep taking more trying to get it. The effects of snorting is like doing some weak cocaine. Orally its just another stimulant similar to a couple cups of coffee with nasty side effects. Taking a higher oral dose just won't be the same high, not at all.

And you should really cut down on your methylphenidate usage, 1200-1600mg is very fucking high. I'm surprised you haven't had a heart attack.
 
He would need to make more, but not that much more, I wouldn't double the dose, that's for sure.

Maybe increase the dose by 25% or so, and then take it from there.

For example, if you normally take 100mg of a substance, take 125mg if it is in XR form. Since your friend uses ~120mg snorted, I would start with 150mg XR.

Of course, he can bring the dose up higher if he doesn't feel anything or doesn't feel the effects he can increase the dose. In the interest of harm reduction, I can't really tell you to double the dose, that would be overkill if you ask me.

You didn't read my post properly. I was using DXM (Dextromathorphan) as an example, not Methylphenidate. I rarely if ever take MPH. This is actually a request for my friend.
