Lets talk about Ritalin

[Rio Fantastic]

Hi!

I love stimulants. I love good ol' caffeine, I've tried impure "base", which is amphetamine but I estimate of low quality, I enjoyed the effects a lot however. I've tried very very low quality european powder speed (didn't feel a thing). I absolutely love cocaine but I don't want to use it often as I enjoy it a little too much and it costs so much money. I also totally adore mephedrone and MDMA but those are a different class of stims altogether.

So now I'm interested in Ritalin. However, I have a few questions first that I'm hoping you guys can answer. Firstly, I have a couple of options. I can either buy generic or I can pay slightly more and get Novartis. Is it worth shelling out a little extra for Novartis? Can both be snorted and taken orally?

Secondly, what would ritalin compare to if anything out of what I've tried? I imagine it'd be closest to speed but I'm not sure. I've heard some people don't even enjoy it at all?

Third about how I take it - is it more effective snorting or orally, or maybe even together? And what would a good first time dose be?

Any help will be really really appreciated! I wasn't sure if this should go here or in OD, so I just put it in both. Mods can feel free to delete one or the other

Having never tried Ritalin, most people report that it feels like ten cups of coffee.

It has the forced motivation ("must-get-shit-done") aspect of caffeine, and also the peripheral side effects of caffeine, like sweating, increased BP and HR, chest pain, and increased anxiety and panic. If taken in a mild dose, a lot of these side effects don't appear, and some people like it even more than amps for treating inattentive ADD. It keeps you focused and forces motivation (forced motivation from the increased NE activity; this effect from amps is not good to chase, as amps do this more through DA rather than Ritalin's NE, and overly high levels of prefrontal cortex DA leads to neurotoxicity, dependence, tolerance, and addiction). It tends to make you emotionless, with very tough emotional comedowns. This is all through the oral route.

Snorted, it feels very similar to cocaine, but with a lot less of the cocaine euphoria. Snorted Ritalin is extremely moreish, so don't snort it if you have an addictive personality or else you might find yourself in a binge.

To be honest, I'm scared of trying Ritalin (MPH). It sounds so harsh for such little effect. I can get increased NE activity from caffeine or ephedrine when I need to, and those both last twice as long as MPH, and I use simple dextroamphetamine for increasing prefrontal DA levels. I only use it therapeutically, though. Recreationally, I would recommend buying speed base and doing a very simple acetone wash on it to remove impurities and make it "high grade."
