If you take 10 mg every day, snorting 10mg will not "kill" you, but it certaintly is not healthy. Emanresu - What do you know about Ritalin that the entire medical community does not? It is a very safe drug, prescribed for DECADES, to MILLIONS of people!
yeah, it may be a pretty shitty type of "speed," (Mythelphenidate HCl is not technichally an amphetamine, afaik) but its still kind of speed..... it can feel pretty cool at first, but it IS very bad for you, in excess. i used to be on it for ADD, and eventually i started using it to get high. snorted at least 20mg, if not as much as 40 or 60 a day for two weeks when i was about to quit getting it at all.....i mean, it wasn't an addiction per se, but i did get a baby habit.....got to the point where i could sleep after snorting it. eventually my nose just started bleeding randomly when i wasn't even doing it, just in the middle of class. plus its a really lame high to begin with. completely safe? it may not be as dangerous as things like methamphetamine or dextroamphetamine, but it isn't risk free by any stretch. lots of people have been quite addicted to it. theres also a shitload of nasty side affects, most people only get one or two or none at all, but use it for a while and it gets really bad. if i take it or amphetamines at all now (doesnt matter which) my heart feels like its about to jump out of my chest, my lungs hurt for some reason, i have complete loss of the ability to achieve and maintain an erection (the loss of ability lasts about 24 hours, assuming i don't redose), i get nervous and edgy, can't sit still unless i have a task to do, etc. the ONLY time to take this stuff is if you have some work to do that is important enough to need a -small!- dose to -help- you complete it......snorting it or using it every day to cope with something entirely mental rather than physiological just isn't healthy, even if it doesn't cause addiction very often.
i have a prescription to 20 mg xr, and 10 mg. It honestly doesn't really make me speed, but adderall on the other hand definently does. I think it is nasty shit to get high off of. I take it to get my school work done and that's all. The only side effect that i have noticed is belly aches. That only occurs when exercise while on it. I havent had any problem gettin hard, or lung or heart problems, but i haven't snorted it. I dont think its worth it. speed sucks.
I was put on ritalin when I was 16. Thats some bad shit that I'll never touch again. I was taking 30mg in the morning then 20mg in the afternoons. One day I took it and just felt like complete shit, emotionally. I caught a case of severe depression (one of the side effects) and I locked myself in a closet and cried for hours. I was curled up in the fetal position and I just wanted to die. After the drug wore off I felt a little better, but the depression stayed for almost a week. So if you want to snort that shit, by all means, go for it, but I thought I at least should share what happened to me. Its a nasty, terrible drug and I dont condone using it. Smoke weed.
