The other morning I took 35mg 2C-E (with 50mg cyclizine as usual to help with body load) and smoked a couple of joints. A couple of hours later I got hold of some Ritalin, which I have never tried before. Seeing as how 2C-E, cyclizine and weed all make me feel sleepy and I had shit to do, I thought I might as well try it straight away. I took a total of 20mg while tripping (2x 10mg doses, about 40 minutes apart), then just for the hell of it, I took another 10mg a few hours later while out drinking.

Yesterday morning I took 20mg on waking up and another 10mg 3 hours later. I went to the gym and had a good workout - it seems to be quite an effective PED.

I'm surprised at how nice this stuff feels. I can see why they call it poor man's coke... it definitely feels more cocaine-like than amphetamine-like.
I like to use stimulants occasionally for functional/therapeutic purposes (rather than as party drugs... I much prefer downers for that). I use Modafinil now and again - it's great at what it does but sometimes I want something a bit more heavy duty (that I could safely use up to 2x per week).
Ephedrine is out of the question... way too many side effects for me to buy it again (using it pre-workout feels downright dangerous at times).
Amphetamine is out of the question... it blows eph out the water but the street stuff is full of impurities and pharmaceutical dex/Adderall is prohibitively expensive.
Dexmethamphetamine is also out of the question... at 20-30mgs orally it feels like the perfect stimulant, has virtually no perceivable side effects and is sensibly priced. I shan't be buying it again though as the tolerance build up renders it totally impractical.

Ritalin seems like it might be practical. It's quite a bit stronger than ephedrine (but much nicer/fewer sides). It's not quite as strong as amp but it's considerably cheaper than the RX stuff and has a better safety profile.
I used a sphygmomanometer and 30mg Ritalin seems to have about the same effect as 30-40mg dl-amphetamine... it pushes the numbers up slightly but nothing of clinical significance. It's a lot more gentle on the sphyg readings than ephedrine but not as gentle as d-meth.

I am also very curious to try 4FA. One thing I loved about d-meth was the serotonin release. MDMA is too serotonergic for me - it blows my head off and actually feels more sedating than stimulating. It's way too messy and chilled out for me to function on.
From what I've read about it; 4FA seems to be somewhere between d-meth and MDMA effects-wise. If it's still a strong stimulant and the serotonin release doesn't make it too messy then it sounds like it might be the ideal stimulant for me. It also doesn't appear to be as neurotoxic as d-meth or MDMA.
