Experiences - Imrpoving Ritalin's efficacy

[doctordiddle]

Swim was heard from her pharmacology prof a couple interesting facts and am wondering if anyone has any input.

1) Apparently, underneath your tongue is highly vascularized (lots of blood vessels), so under the tongue administration of drugs should deliver a higher effective dose of the drug. (Taken orally, ~70% of the effective component of Ritalin is made inert by the liver, so only 30% enters the bloodstream to deliver the desired effects). Has anyone tried this?

2) Snorting. Clearly any Ritalin that would enter the lungs would go straight into the blood, upping the effective dose similar to 1). But how much actually enters the lungs? Is there a significant amount of the powder (ground Ritalin) that gets trapped in the nasal cavity? Could one use a saline nasal spray to wash the remains into the throat, essentially ingesting the booger-ritalin orally (so as to not waste it)?

3) Swim also learned from a drug information reference, that caffeine is suppose to enhance the effects of Ritalin. Any experiences to confirm or deny? And how much caffeine are we talking about? Swim has taken vitamin R with a soda with caffeine, but hasn't noticed any improvement.

Thanks for any tips/advice guys.
