This one, 27y 190/100 developer, is a daily (but not heavy) marijuana user who recently found that he actually has a concentration problem. Giving up weed for a while didn't work as well as he needed to do all the important thigs, so it was decited to try out something of "middle-aged office worker way".
At first Ritalin was chosen as the assistance, but then ethylphenidate came to view as the equivalent. The man bought both, but ethyl versyon came sooner.

It were grey/red pills with 40 mg of substance in form of transparent powdered crystals. As he needed it as a study drug, his option was to swallow it in a glass of carbonated water. He expected it to be easier to absorb that way than a pill. Snorting was not an option with this drug, because despite its higher efficiency that way, it's irritating nostrills too much; and smoking gives totally different effect than study aid.

So that man opened one of the pills and eyeballed a little more than half of the content, about 25mg, dissolving it in 50cc mineral water. Taste was bitter so another 100cc followed. Effect slowly started to appear in about 5 minutes, which was a little euthoria, increased heart rate and temperature, and of couce better concentration on the work. Unlike normally, doing few tasks simultaneously wasn't a problem anymore, he could switch with ease witout losing track. Mild empathy and goodwill sense. But concentration effect could be just a little stronger. 25mg was actually a half dose for him, 'cause of new drug, so it was decided to try again tomorrow with higher dosage.
Only distinct counterpoints at this time were only strange itchy (and unpleasant) feeling in different parts body, coming time to time. And the fact that user can concentrate on something only in case of actually starting doing it. So the user was very effective at GTA that night indeed.

Next night it was full 40ml dissolved just as before, right in a pill. Funny observations of dying pill were made. Because of the same amount of water, it tasted much bitter. Effects were the same but at lower scale. User's guess was that this substance needs a cooldown, which was lated supported by web research. At this time work was done, but with less concentration than day before. Empathy was higher.

After 2 days of cooldown 55-60 mg were packed in a single pill and swallowed in order to try this way. This time, instead of slow climb, it was a kickoff in 5-7 minutes. A mild rush in all body and familiar itch, burning face and cold hands/feet, strong urge to do things. Body effects were gone in 2 hours, but impact was enough to work till' morning. It was easier not only to do creative/routine tasks, but made things easier to get, helped his mind get clear. Again, strong sense of empathy filled him to the point where you go to your wife and just hug her for a while.

3 days after, in a state of curiosity happened the experiment of 80 mg in pills. It was later described as intense rush, owerwhelming empathy, raised heartbeat and sweating. Work attempts weren't succesfull in first few hours, but considerably productive in following six or seven, mostly because of deep self-loathing. On hour 5, he felt strong urge to describe to his boss just how much he respects him, so the message of 4,000 letters was created in 30 minutes and submitted. It was a very good message indeed, but maybe a little too straightforward for a normal state. Well, the boss is a nice guy who also okay with his employees being junkies, so the feeling wasn't chemically induced, just multiplied in few times. But consider that when going high doses with EPH.

For a while, the experiments were ceased, but in state of need this guy may return to EPH with 45-50mg spoon for his complection. But he wonders if methylphenidate will be similar to him and yet to try it.

Goddamn hilarious

Consider rectal administration (in many ways, this is the ideal route for stimulants and entactogens).

^ I've tried taking EP that way, but found it very uncomfortable, and slightly gross. Sniffing it isn't viable; that sting is too unpleasant to take regularly. I guess you could cut the EP you're about to snort with lactose, or something easier on the sinuses? I've never liked that ROA anyway; if I had to snort it, I'd always make a nasal spray- it's discrete, portable, and you can dose in full view of people, which is a major plus.

The only way I'll use EP now is by smoking it; it's perfect for me. At first I vaped it off of tin foil, but this is very bad for the lungs. I'd heard EP must be processed into freebase to attempt this ROA, but that's bollocks; the HCL is not destroyed by heat, as coke would be: rather than blackening and charring, it vapourises nicely into a brown liquid, with a sweet smell and very pungent smoke. The rush is intense, instant, and requires far smaller amounts of EP; 10mg is equal to a large line IMO. The effects are more short-lived though, and the urge to re-dose can be compulsive, so it could carry potential for addiction. I'm not exactly calling it "crack-Ritalin" or anything, but it's best to be safe.

"Bombing" it by wrapping it in rizla and swallowing gets the job done; I used to bomb G's of base speed this way, I'm sure it would work with EP just as well, it's not for me though - there are more "direct" ways of taking it.

Edit: if you look at the texture of EP you'll notice its crystalline, almost like rock salt. Crushing it really, really finely will help with that sting, as well as give a larger surface area when it hits the sinus. If I was gonna snort it, I'd definitely add around 20% benzocaine as well.
