How Long Does the Feeling Last if You Snort Around 10-20 Mg of Ritalin?

Question by Everblades: How long does the feeling last if you snort around 10-20 mg of Ritalin?
Doing this for some research on how different drugs affect the body. Generally, (and yes, I’ve done illegal drugs in my younger years) I have heard it compared similarly to cocaine. If it is actually like cocaine, how long do the effects last? I’ve heard people say it keeps them up, but how long do you get a “high” off it, if you actually do get high or inebriated in some way. Thanks for all answers in advance.

Best answer:

Answer by Jamessss
Considering you only railed 10-20 mg of Ritalin, which is a very low dose, it will probably only last a couple hours.

I’ve snorted over 100mg of Ritalin, and yes it last a very long time, 14+ hours. Horrible comedown, not as bad as crystal meth though. And please don’t try it.
