Duration of snorted ritalin?

[rit_guy]

Just wondering how long it takes for ritalin to get out of your system, enabling you to sleep, and if mixing alcohol with ritalin is dangerous ?

Thanks

From personal experience, I can say that I have found mixing the two to be safe - in fact, I find that drinking is conducive to a good nights sleep when amphetamines are keeping you awake.

yeah, alcohol takes the edge off ritalin.

Yeah, when I drink I usually get drunk and tired and fall asleep (or
passout) but when I take ritalin or adderall before hand I will stay up
and sober up. I also find taking a stimulant before drinking helps with
the hangover, I find hangovers to be the worst thing ever. I have no
clue to how safe it is to mix the two other than that they are both
going to dehydrate you very much so plenty of water.

I would like to know the duration also of snorting ritalin,,,whats a safe gap in between dose, so you can binge without hospital visit??????

If you snort ritalin, it'll have the same exact effect as if you swallowed it. The only difference would be if it was extended-release.

Usually (non-extended release) ritalin has a half-life of about 4 hours, so if you take a big dose i'd say in 4-6 hours it would be safe to take another dose.

Ritalin has no real problem with alcohol unless you take a high dose, or are taking Concerta...i don't know why concerta, that's just from my friend's experience. Too much alchohol though usually has bad effects -- you'll get violent, emotional, etc, even more so than just being drunk. It's different for everyone, though.
