Methylphenidate question

Can't say much about Ritalin recreational use... But:
"Another question, is it in any way unsafe to sleep while I am on methylphenidate (30-40mg if at all) ? In the past I had trouble sleeping with this medication as I have taken it for recreational purposes throughout the day but now I do not find any trouble finding my way to sleep."

It is completely safe. Though it sounds like a waste if you're falling asleep before it wears off. As long as you aren't passing out from lack of oxygen or something crazy like that @.@ (No chest pains or other respiratory problems right?)



EDIT: Stimulants in general aren't safe...
 
It's not unsafe to sleep on 30-40mg, it is just an indication that you're either really tired or you've developed a tolerance to methylphenidate. Although it is probably a combination of both.

Stimulants are safe if used as directed...most of the time. There is some debate concerning prescribed (theraputic) doses of the usually ADHD/ADD treatment stimulants (mixed amphetamine salts, dextroamphetamine, methylphenidate) are toxic when taken as directed.

Yes stimulants are addictive, there is no way around that.
 
^exactly what he said.

Its certainly not dangerous to sleep on stimulants, you'll probably just get less restful, more uncomfortable and restless sleep.

This is better suited for basic drug discussion so I'll send that over there for you :)
