I have this kid in the school that provides me with Ritalin. I like to inject it after dissolving it in water. But last time he gave me Ritalin I didnt check the date of expiration. I had taken it from him for long time and I had trusted him. But I was wrong. I had taken the expired Ritalin. What will happen? It has expired two months ago.

Dont worry it is not so dangerous. I had the friend who had take only expired Ritalin because he had some girl in pharmacy that have managed to get him expired Ritalin. The effects will be decreased but it cant become dangerous so fast. But if you are going to continue to use it maybe it would be wise to take it orally.

Just my opinion, but I think you should be much more concerned with the fact that you are injecting the drug, than with its expiration date. Its just not a very good idea to be injecting any drugs which have not been prescribed specifically for that purpose, IMO.

if you need to get it into your blood as fast as possible, snort it. dissolving it in water doesn't really dissolve it completely and can be seriously seriously bad..

"Though not all tablets can be easily turned into fluid, Ritalin can be easily dissolved. However, doing so can be quite dangerous as these tablets include much talc as a filler. The introduction of talc into the blood stream can result in many serious health problems, such as pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary hypertension. Both of these problems can lead to breathing difficulty which can lead to, in some cases, death."
