I don't understand
I'm somehow more confused than before I read your comment.
All I'm seeing is that I shout ditch the apple juice and take my pills with gin
I didn't ask you to copy and paste. I asked you to explain
I looked it up and read through the NIH paper that did a review of available information about it. It's essentially a recreational drug that can be formed in your body when you take methylphenidate and alcohol at the same time.
I will put out this caution though: there were a lot of reports of bad trips, worsened focus/cognition, dangerous side effects like increased heart rate and body temperature, and there was a very high rate of addictive responses. So it may sound like fun, but you're running the risk of causing yourself a lot of problems and using Ethylphenidate (or methylphenidate plus alcohol) may make your regular ADHD meds less effective and lead into addiction problems.
Ah! Thank you
