Effects of Snorting Ritalin

[mollypolly991]

I have 2 20mg Methylphenidate HCl pills. I was wondering what the effects of blowing the pill would be as opposed to swallowing it. I want to get the full effect and have it last as long as possible. And also, is food a significant contributing factor to the effects?

Thank you so much

The effects of snorting methylphenidate are exactly like those of swallowing the pills orally. However, when snorted, the effects come on much quicker, but they also die off much quicker. So snorting the pills will give you a quicker onset and a more intense buzz, but a shorter lived high. Taking them orally will not be as intense, but it will last longer.

EDIT: A simple search would've yielded many results as this has been discussed at length many times.

I am going to close this since you got your answer and if you want further information on Ritalin, just use the search function or PM me or any of the other BDD mods.

If you snort it, it will start to affect you considerably quicker but it will also not last as long.

Some people consider snorting Ritalin (methylphenidate) to be close to the effects of snorting cocaine, including mood lift, talkativeness, euphoria, motivation, etc. These effects are similar to other powerful stimulants including amphetamine, which is why methylphenidate is used in the treatment of ADD and ADHD.

If you want to have the effects last as long as possible, the best (and safest) way to do it is to snort half of your intended dosage, and orally consume the other half.

If you have a full stomach, orally administered effects will take a bit longer to kick in, if you take the pill/tablet on an empty stomach, it will not take as long for the effects to kick in, but it will still take longer than snorting the pills does.
