fickle | Snorting Ritalin

Words of wisdom from a second-hand chick lit book I bought, concerning adults snorting Ritalin as a concentration aid:

"Thing is that pills that are fun to snort are easy to crush. Pharmacists make it this way to turn us into addicts, so who the fuck am I to argue?"

When asked to elaborate, the guy who said the above continues:

"Zoloft and Paxil and lithium are all coated and can't be cut up, but they'd be no kick to sniff anyway. Vicodin and Perdoccet, on the other hand, are easy to crush and -- surprise, surprise -- habit-forming. See? It's a conspiracy. I'm just going along with it."

So, dearest flist, I'm thinking of taking his advice. Neither of my sleeping pills (Ambien CR and Lorazemoan) are working if I just swallow them down, but maybe sniffing them will work! Please bear in mind that I have zero experience sniffing anything except flowers (despite the icon, the only meds I take are legal) and am sleep-deprived at the moment. In other words, no taking me seriously and freaking out because even if a hundred people vote that I should try it in the name of science, I am very unlikely to.

Oh, and boys kissing to prove I'm not completely out of it.

Oh, yeah, absolutely. It's so much lulz when Endless and Emily do it, after all.

Your body is adapting to it and taking more will more than likely not help and doing it by this method is likely to give you a bad reaction/not help/make matters worse.

Talk to the one that gave you the prescription on what should be done....

Please, don't. Y'need to talk to a professional on what to do and not risk making matters worse, love.

More specifically, don't do it without talking to a doctor about possible side effects. I know that one of the problems with powdered drugs such as cocaine is that sniffing them can damage the nasal membranes, but I don't know whether this is specific to the drug or not. And goolge isn't telling me :(

Either way, drugs are put into certain formats for a reason, and doctors are often fairly specific about how you're meant to take something.

Remember the mint dental floss - things which seem like they might be a good/interesting idea or a 'logical' solution to a problem don't always work out the way you want them to!!

I don't suggest it hon. I think you'd be better off taking a warm bath and using a vibrator. I'm just saying.

I hate to suggest this, but getting less screen time might be more likely to help.

I'm glad to know you're just kidding, because a lot of people have resorted to that to stop their insomnia. It isn't safe at all and the likelihood of overdose is high because by taking it nasally, the drug hits your brain at once, instead of being slowly absorbed through the bloodstream. Addiction is also high, and the effects of the drug are short. Snorting anything is usually bad due to how fast the onset of the drug is.

You should seriously see a sleep therapist. Insomnia can only get worst if untreated. *huggles*

Bad Ficlet. BAAAD.

What have I told you about cutting things?

Also: GO TO BED.

Heaven save you from yourself *huggles*. Perhaps what you need is some liquid sleep administered straight through a drip -- consistently being fed into your system on regular hours, and less stress in your life.

I know you weren't being serious, but I think this sort of thing is going to at least ruin your chances of getting things back to normal.

When this battle with your sleep is over, and you're finally in control, then please avoid late nights like the plague *huggles tightly*. Make sure you see a doctor soon too. If you need any help I'm here.

Love you to pieces.

Come out of hiding sometime, I want to talk to you.

It's actually not painful. It didn't do much. I took three, and snuffed another. Didn't do shit.
