DHC & Ritalin (Sunday night Newcastle)

[cuddlesthefox]

Done a quick search on here and google but couldn't get anything definitive, so... here goes, Swim's relying on you lot to either make this a Sunday night to remember or end up in the ER.
Can you mix DHC and Ritalin with good effects?
If so, what dosage do you recommend?
Swim has a very high tolerance of DHC (300mg plus no problems) but not of Ritalin.
Thank you in advance for your time.

Frankly i am unsure of the dangers from mixing uppers and downers, but i imagine there are some and it might be worth checking out the dangers of a "speedball" (cocaine and heroin). Although this is different and strictly it isn't a speedball, it is still a stimulant and a depressant mixed together which would have similar effects (some may well call it a speedball).

The real danger i know of with 'speedballs' is overdose, someone may take too much of a depressant but the stimulant delays it, so when the stimulant wears off the depressant takes hold and it can end up being too much. Other than that i am not sure what the risks would be, probably the same risks as taking dihydrocodeine and methylphenidate alone, but added together.

The only other thing i can think of is underlying blood pressure and heart problems that aren't apparent at the time but taking these things at the same time (or individually even) may exacerbate things.

All i can suggest is start low and see how it goes, get an idea what to expect then go from there.

Thanks for the advice, any further insight would be great too.

What are Swiy looking for out of the combo? I've never tried that exact combo but swim has tried something similar and doesnt see them combining to create a special euphoria. If swim had them hed use them seperately because swim would get more value by using them apart. The danger present in mixing an "upper & downer" depend on the interacting drugs. DHC & ritalin dont seem to have any interactions so Swim would use a lil smaller than usual dose for both.

Main reason swim is wanting to combine the two is the fact that swim is incredibly tolerant of dhc, to the point of no effects. However, swim has got his hands on ritalin and rather suffer the withdrawls of dhc swim thought about just taking the ritalin on top of his daily dhc.
This may sound like swim is in a mess but after a past hung up on everything from smack to crack swim considers this to be the lesser of two evils!

Swim hasnt tried ritalin for this but used Adderall to ease withdrawals, it was very effective even at small doses (5mg).
