Mixing Methamphetamine (meth) and Methylphenidate (Ritalin)
Caution
Meth lasts most of a day, so adding methylphenidate either way stretches the strain on your heart for hours.
Do this
Treat it as a redose.
Where the risk isTap for why
What “Caution” means
Carries risk that is worth understanding before combining. Reduce doses and do not use alone.
How the ratings workThe longer explanation
Two stimulants of very different lengths: methylphenidate fades within hours, methamphetamine lasts most of a day. Adding either to the other stretches the strain on the heart well past any effect worth having.
