Hi guys,

Never taken ritalin before and have 3 x 10mg pills. The time now is 8.10pm and my essay is due 3pm tomorrow. Haven't started or prepped for it, most likely be pulling an all-nighter.

I was hoping someone could advise me on the best dose, method of administration and if I should be spreading them out? I'm actually quite tired now due to lack of sleep but I could hold off taking them for a couple of hours probably. I don't need to be euphoric or crazy stimulated, but I really do need to focus hardcore on this. I don't have any particular high/ low threshold to stimulants.

My guess would be to maybe eat one every few hours? I really don't want to end up hardcore crashing at 6am or something though so advice on timing would be great. Also I have caffeine pills I can be mixing or alternating them with if necessary.

If I needed to get to sleep once I was done I could get weed and I have some diphenhydramine, although I would have to been advised if I could take that after taking ritalin.

As always, thanks for your help! :)
 
20mg to get you started, orally, and 10mg to keep you going once you start to feel tired. That's what I'd do...
 
Depending on the route, if you snort or plug, you could end up with a fairly intense experience from 30mg... If you just eat them, you will absorb much less and get less out of them. 30mg at once plugged will be decently strong and definitely stimulate you a pretty good bit. If you're not trying to get really stimulated, then I'd snort or plug like 15mg at a time. The absorption of methylphenidate is really varied and low orally, so other routes (snorting, plugging) help you get more out of your drug, and really, different experiences altogether.
 
Never taken before, think I greatly overestimated its potency.

I know I did ask for the best ROA but I didn't fancy plugging when it came down to it and I have a cold coming on so I just ate the first one after dinner, around 10. Knowing it would take a while to get into my system I thought I would have a nap first and then wake up feeling refreshed. Didn't quite work like that, just finally listened to my alarms and got up from my 30 minute "nap" at midnight. Yawning a bunch, just want to go back to sleep :(

So yeah I basically didn't listen to anything you said, silly me. Think I'll have another hour's nap and then maybe snort the next 10mg if my nose feels clear, and eat some caffeine with it too.
 
Fuck it actually, maybe I will plug, I think I will end up crashing before I'm done if I don't. So... this is a little gross and technical.... But I'm dissolving it in warm water and shooting the water up my ass? I don't have a syringe or pipette or anything, what's the best way to go about that? Thanks, ha.
 
yeah... go stock up on some energy shots! IMO adderall would have been better suited for this purpose (for future reference)... but good luck with your paper
 
^^IMO adderall's the better way to go, just so long as you don't start using it all the time (as with any drug)
 
To update, 30mg ritalin did barely anything, even combined with caffeine. Wrote the essay eventually, took freakin hours of me staring at the screen like a zombie, but got a B so not bad. Haven't tried adderall but it has to be better than ritalin!
