I tried ritalin for the 1st time today during school. I have had quite alot of experience with downers (well mostly just opiates) but the only upper ive taken is BZP.


Dose - 1 Ritalin SR 20mg made by Novartis
Bodyweight - 60kg


My friend's sister has ADHD and gets prescribed ritalin, my friend offers me one and today she brought it to school. It was still sealed, i was surprised at how small the pill was (glad at the same time as this meant less material to snort).
I cut the pill in half as it was my first time with ritalin and i did not want anything to go wrong.


10am - First period just ended and i quickly ran to the toilets where i proceeded to crush the half (containing 10mg) using a AA battery. i rolled up a piece of paper to snort with. It wasnt that unpleasant to snort but i did get quite a bitter taste down my throat for a while.

10.30am - During the last 30mins i didnt notice much effects - maybe a slight change in mindset (i could concentrate better) but that could well have been placebo. i decide to snort the other half so i excuse myself to the bathroom.


After about 10mins i definately feel some effects. My heart was beating slightly faster and my jaw was quite tense. The class i was in (Biology) was actually quite interesting and i sped through the note taking process.


about 20mins later i feel much more. I get a some euphoria and was enjoying school quite a bit. I didnt feel very stimulated however, was just more alert - it was like a mild and mellow BZP high.


about 3 hours after ingestion the effects quickly taper off. I was expecting a monster crash after some reports i read on the net/erowid, however there was no physical comedown. Mentally however i felt very "meh". Like an emotional flatness / slight depression. I had quite an urge to do more.



Overall - quite a positive experience. It greatly helped me concentrate in class and felt good. Could do without the meh feeling and clouded head for a few hours after comedown. I will be getting 40mg more of ritalin tomorow and im planning to do it at a rave. Is this recommended? should i rail it all at once or should i "top up" later in the night? Will using a slightly wet tissue and wiping off the coating on the pill give greater effects?
 
you should eat the pills next time imo it gives a better buzz lasts longer comedowns not as harsh. as for a rave I guess it would be ok definatly not my choice though.
 
I usually can't get a hold of ritalin, but I can easily get focalin, which is double the strength of ritalin anyways, and eating it and snorting it are both good in my opinion. Although, snorting it to me is a tad stronger. But it really doesn't make a difference, at least not with methylphenidate.
 
I found it definatley better than caffine but definatley not as good as normal amp.

Yeah i do think bzp is stronger, and the reason i kinda like bzp is that it has awesome synergy with weed, unlike ritalin.

Can you get some pot, maybe a small dose of ritalin with a half dose of bzp and some pot would be a much better night out.

Oh you must be from new zealand, heh tradeing ritalin in the playground oh so familiar.
 
funny.. i haven't done ritilan in a long time. I do dabble with adderall here and there still 'cause I like it better... But it's really interesting to hear people get good and tweaked just eating ritilan. The whole 1 year I was in a normal high school, which was like 7 years ago (i got G.E.D and am in college), all the druggie kiddies said you wouldn't get high eating ritilan, only adderall. Everyone believed snorting ritilan was the only way to go.

Anyway, I don't know why i shared this info.. I just found that interesting to hear.
 
Just an update -


i obtained another identical pill today. insufflated at about 12.30pm. This time it was quite disappointing - i actually got less effects than snorting 10mg at a time. Just a increase in concentration and awakeness. got little/no euphoria or "good feelings". Now i just feel depressed again hrrmmm :-\


I cant believe people here actually pay $10 a pill.....

I pay $0.50/ritalin, daamn, $10!
 
thats in new zealand by the way - converted to USD thatll probably be ~$5-7$


still VERY VERY expensive :\
 
Back in high school, we used to have pharmy parties where everything there was a prescription med. Ritalin ALWAYS got used first. IMO, it was nothing more than a longer lived upper high, kinda like coke. Snort it, jump up and get speedy for a few hours, then come down, like really weak meth. I never saw any novelty to it (I've always been a downer/psychedelic user). Eh, it was a good upper high, but wasn't my cup of tea. Nothing really special.

Yeah it used to be $2 - 5 nzd ($2 usd) a 20mg ritalin, sure has gone up these days! but I guess its fun. LOL the good ol days, its fun to IV I must admit..
 
I'm quite pleased to hear of a few stories of ritalin use that didn't involve a crash that outweighed the benefits of the high.

Plugging ritalin seems the best option but yeah, not everyones cup of tea!

Whatever, it's a far better option than much 'street grade' amphetamine - caffeine ahoy!

Ritalin + GHB was a decent combo for me. Unfortunately, GHB/GBL + epilepsy = seizure country so that was out after proving to be true.
