Experience:Methylphenidate (Insufflated) - Clear Headed Stimulation: Difference between revisions

At the time I was a senior in highschool one week away from graduating. I can count on my hand how many substances I have tried. To name them: alcohol, weed, caffeine, nicotine, and DXM. Alcohol, weed, caffeine and nicotine I am no stranger to as I have been doing them all for at least two years. DXM on the other hand I have only done a handful of times in the months prior to this experience and enjoyed each time. I have no prescriptions and I had only taken nicotine this particular day. My spirits were high as I was finishing my last year of highschool. Setting begins in a friend's house at our noon hour lunch break and then school.  

T+ 0:00/12:20pm - There were four of us in my friend's garage in the middle of our lunch break. Three out of the four of us dosed an unknown amount. I didn’t know or even bother to ask how potent these Ritalin tablets were. All I know is that they were already crushed and ready to go with a straw in a reused Advil container. After the first two take their dose the bottle is handed to me and I put the straw in my nose, blocked my other nostril and sniffed as hard as I could. It burned like hell. My eyes almost immediately started watering. I also kept on sniffing my nose to keep the substance in.

T+ 2:00 - The body high was gone but I still could think and talk rather quickly. My movements were still a little jittery and I had a dry mouth that didn’t seem to go away no matter how much water I drank.  

T+ 2:30 - I was almost sober at this point. I did feel quite lazy all of a sudden as if a weighted blanket had come over me. I still had a dry mouth even after drinking a litre of water. My thoughts had slowed down more than usual and all I wanted to do was lay down and go to sleep.

In summary I did have a good time and I did feel quite energized and happy but I probably won’t snort it again. The nasal drip was easily the most god awful thing I have ever tasted. It did burn going into the nasal cavity and it made me have a runny nose throughout the experience. The cognitive euphoria I felt was intense but I still felt clear headed. I don’t see myself doing methylphenidate at a party or any social gathering for that matter. Maybe whenever I need to get a lot of work done by myself I might do it again.
