Snorting Ritalin

[fickle_goddess]

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

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*

...People actually do it?! Holy fuck. I was kidding, I promise. there is absolutely no way that I'd do anything like that. Though dropping directly off to sleep does sound fantastic, I'm not sure it's worth misusing pills.

*huggles back* Thanks for the wise advice.

Bad Ficlet. BAAAD.

What have I told you about cutting things?

Also: GO TO BED.

[fickle_goddess]

But it doesn't hurt the pills to be cut! It's better than being digested by acid at least, right?

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.

Someone needs to save me from myself, but I don't believe in Heaven. >_< And oooh, liquid sleep on a drip would make you RICH if you invented it.

And I promise I'm not being serious, seriously. Urgh. Bad wording there but I'm too tired to fix it.

And yes. And yes. And I love you too. ♥

Then again, I didn't mean the god Heaven thing, just some place where you don't have to worry about things like powdering your pills to increase their potency.

*hugs* I know, I read that, then I read comments and saw you defending that. It just concerns me if you're playing with the idea. I'd so bring you chocolate milk in bed and sing you bedtime stories if I was there.

Yeah, brilliant eh? When I've got something to work you can be the first person to get a prescription *hugs*.

[fickle_goddess]

Do people even sleep in Heaven? XD

*pets you* Chocolate milk gives me an energy boost and keeps me up. Not a good thing to feed a girl you're trying to get to sleep. ♥ But I appreciate the thought, love.

YAY! I volunteer to be your test subject!

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.
