i know this is probably a really stupid question as everything i can find online says it's not a good idea to mix ritalin with alcohol or weed, but i just want to know if anyone here has done this and what their experience was.

i don't think ritalin is very strong for me, it doesn't help me concentrate at all (even at 25mg and i haven't used it long enough to gain any sort of tolerance) but it did make me feel super happy the very first time i tried it (only 5mg) and it absolves all my anxiety and makes me really talkative, but other than that, everything is normal and i experience no side effects.

this might sound really dumb, but if ritalin isn't very strong for me, surely mixing ritalin with alcohol and/or weed for just one day wont do much harm? i'm sorry if i sound really stupid by asking this lol
 
Ritalin (Methylphenidate) is often coadministrated with Ethanol (alcohol) to enhance its euphoric & pleasurable subjective effects.

Taking Ritalin with a fatty meal speeds/enhances absorption/bioavailabity (breakfast toasted egg sandwich with ham or bacon) .....more significance, drinking alcohol during the absorption phase increases the active isomer d-threo-methylphenidate (Focalin) by 40% ....significantly enhancing the euphoric properties in all study participants (posted in a medical journal controlled study)

Cannabis wouldn't be a good idea.....increased heart rate & blood pressure

Dopaminergic stimulants such as Ritalin, Adderall, Dexedrine, Vyvanse, Desoxyn are best potentiated/enhanced by Ethanol, an Opioid, Benzodiazepines,
 
It's not particularly dangerous on a physical level. Assuming you don't have some overt medical condition, and arent taking other medications, it's probably not going to harm you.

But it's a shitty combination in high doses. The worst hangover of your life.

The main danger here is that it will mask the effects of alcohol, you won't feel as drunk as you actually are, which can lead to you drinking much more than you intended or can handle.

Used in moderation you don't have much to worry about.

The combo is not my cup of tea, though.
 
If you keep it to one day, dont know what ammounts you plan taking.
its certainly safer then what i did, when I was younger.
The same first using GHB instead of Ethanol. So less toxic, kinda ok.
Also not alot of MPH, no the killer is the Booze.

Which came after G, wet for weeks on. Working week days inbetween, not adviseable !!!
 
keep in mind this is just my opinion and feelings on the highs of these drugs, not really any science with how it's going to affect your body why you should or shouldn't be taking these drugs.

i got to say i love ritalin and adderall with weed... if you smoke weed and love it and don't get anxiety or anything, and you enjoy stimulants on their own... i totally recommend it to recreational drug users in moderation unless you have some kind of health condition... just a great high imo

i assume this is a comment about the alcohol mix... i totally don't get into uppers and downers at the same time, esspecially toxic stuff like alcohol. alcohol is a downer and ritalin is an upper.
