So the other day I found a bunch of IR Ritalin in my drawer, cos I used to take it as a kid. Anyway I took 90mg on an empty stomach around 4 pm, and waited. I felt nothing at all, so at 8 pm I took another 60 mg. I felt slightly happy, but this quickly turned to annoyance when I realised no matter how hard, I couldn't fall asleep. Basically, I ended up lying in bed, staring at the ceiling ALL NIGHT without even feeling tired. Not wanting to crash during the day, I took another 60mg in the morning (10 am) and went about my business all day, without feeling tired at all.
I can definitely see the advantages this has as a study aid, or for going HAM at a party, but apart from that recreationally it sucks.
Hope this helped anyone, and take my advice- DONT TAKE ANY AFTER 4 PM IF YOU PLAN ON SLEEPING
 
its much much better snorted. what i do is crush the pills filter through kitchen roll and slowly evaporate the liquid on a very low temp then snort the powder. that is by far the best way to do it as the speed at which it hits you is what makes the quality of the rush. hence why ritalin is rated iv by people

I know, but tbh I don't like snorting, so i just keep it in my mouth for awhile to absorb it directly.
 
^^ No kidding. I took concerta, something like 25 mg with the time release broken and then one of the 54 mg pills (I think, it's a weird number of mg indivisible by five) more with the time release intact for my first ever stimulant experience, and the first six to eight hours were awesome, went to a ska show in a church (yeah, obligatory lolwut?) with my homie and picked up all these girls I'd never met before, but once I got home and crashed I had about twelve hours of numb left arm, 160 bpm pulse, and pins and needles thinking I was having a heart attack and dying.

This experience is what set up my sort of paranoia – not paranoia really, it's more like just serious, honest concern – about high bpm heart rates on stimulants, I always worried that I had slightly damaged myself so as to predispose myself to cardiovascular events during subsequent stimulant usage. Thankfully I don't take uppers anymore, so the point is now moot.

That experience, the negative part, was super-duper not fun, let me say. So people reading this report: don't take the kind of dose this guy is talking about if you've no tolerance, you WILL regret it, and potentially damage yourself.

Just be glad you didn't get high. Stimulant addiction quickly leads to the most chaotic and destructive lifestyles more so than even opiates in my opinion. Your body can't run on speed. It needs food, vitamin, sleep, calm periods, etc. I'm glad I don't really enjoy a stim high at all these days. Mostly out of concern for my heart. Chest pains combined with paranoia of being on a high dose of stimulants will quickly make you reconsider your priorities.
 
I used to snort 250mg a day for a few months, oral never did anything other than give me insomnia and, paradoxically, a far worse comedown.
Isn't the nasal BA around 20-30% higher than oral?
 
What about adds? What's the best way to do them? I have snorted them 30mg

After reading these threads on "snorting methylphenidate" it has been a learning curve for me. Yes, as I titled my comments, I
was given a DX of ADHD in the year 1994, at age 43, and, I have been on brick and mortar prescribed stimulants, the past 19 years, with
only three (3) breaks beyond 24 hours, 3 days, in 1999, 15 days, in 2006, and 17 days, this year (January). Yes, I have now passed my
62nd birthday, am a 6"1" 205 lb w/m, divorced, no children, with 2 college degrees, and am semi retired. Live in SE USA the past 19 years,
have always gotten my meds from one of (now) 4 Psychiatrists. (Ritalin I/R 20mg x 3) 1994 to 1996. Dexedrine 15mg Spansule ER + Dexedrine
Sulfate 5 mg E-19 orange hearts @ 6 tabs a day, total 45 mg of d-amphetamine, then 1999 to 2009, switched to Dexedrine 15mg Spansule +
10mg of Adderall @1PM and 5PM my final switch was in year 2010, Generic I/R Barr Adderall 10mg @9AM Noon and 3PM. (30 mg total)

I confess, since I got divorced, and live alone, I had stored away in tight bottles, up to 10 yrs ago, Brand Richwood, or ShireUS Adderall 10mg,
and even 100 of the 5 mg Smith Kline Beechham Dexedrine E-19 hearts, and have experimented with snorting these I/R tablets. I concluded the
5mg pure Dexedrine, has a waxy matrix, in the formula, that sticks to one's mucous membranes in one's nose, and, thus I figure I have wasted
about 1/2 of the dose, including my newer prescribed 10mg I/R generic Adderall 10mg. The old Richwood Brand Adderall, I get more out of it, but
I still lose 1/3 of it in my nostrils, as it sticks to the membranes, and I figure goes no further.

In my 20's I snorted Cocaine, for two years, and I remember, no residue, in my nose, unless, I got on a "Run" of doing it every day, for maybe 5
days + and I had a stopped up nose. Most recently, the past 4 years, I have also been snorting a narcotic, from either Canada, or Europe, known,
as Talwin, or Fortral, or Sosegon, and, became very addicted to that, from self administration, always, grinding it up, and never any sticky residue in
my nose. My IOP suppliers no longer stock it and this month started snorting pure OxyContin 40mg,. in 1/4 doses at a time. I am out and I am afraid
of mixing Oxycodone, with Adderall (oral). I also, from a local source, had access to 5/325 generic Percocets, I took one a day for the past 5 years,
whenever, I was temporarily out of 100% pure Pentazocine without any "naloxone". Why? Self Pity, and self administration of meds for what I perceive
as a stubborn Depression, and I have been previously been given a DX as Depression Resistant to SSRI's, and SNRI's all failed me all of my life.

I have tried to get off of all legitimate "amphetamines" and all I do is sleep, and go into a Worse Depression, and my M.D only suggests, to try to
taper down 5 mg per year. Every Psychiatrist I have ever seen told me I was a textbook case of ADD, and Mood Disorder NOS combined.

I love the instant rush, of uppers, when snorted. That is why this thread I found interesting. Never heard of the process, used in the kitchen, as
described. At this time, I may stick with oral use, as I have too much of a addictive personality.

The doses I have read used by some members of "Ritalin" blows my mind..............................not judging anyone too harshly, but, I get too high
wired, if I take more than 60 mg of I/R original Ritalin, or, more than say 45 to 50mg of d-amphetamine, orally. If I get too high wired, I crave
Klonopin, Valium, or some weed, to calm down. My psychiatrists, will only prescribe me tiny amounts of Klonopin, or 10 years he gave me only
Ambien to wind down, he will not give me any heavier doses of benzo's, My use of pain killers has been my secret since my 2007 divorce, very
addictive stuff, European Fortral, or USA Oxycodone! However, I have acquired much success, with taking ADD meds when I first started, in money
and acquiring possessions, unfortunately, my marriage of 12 years to a RN, who also has serious Depression, failed.

Be careful with those 90mg+ doses of methylphenidate. I am new to "this forum" if I have broken any rules, moderators, just erase or modify my
comments.
 
Holy shit, I can't believe you didn't go into cardiac arrest. You must have an incredibly high tolerance for methylphenidate. But I wouldn't go so far as to say it has no recreational value. As mentioned above, the best ROA for ritalin is insufflation. I've heard of people IVing them for a more cocaine-like rush, but I have a feeling I wouldn't be able to handle that. Man, seeing this thread though reminded me of the latter half of my high school years. I would stay up for 3-4 days straight, snorting 12-16 20mg IRs after my parents went to bed. It made me super happy, super focused, very social (which for me is good, I'm a mild agoraphobic) and best of all when I would record in my studio I would bust out a riff, verse, etc. in 1-5 takes. Damn... I need to stop reminiscing before I go out and get more!
