And oh yeah, I assume you're prescribed ritalin for add/adhd or something along those lines, meaning you have a condition where you lack dopamine in certain regions of the brain and therefore crave anything that boosts dopamine levels. Coke is a potent but short-acting dopamine re-uptake inhibitor (correct me if I'm wrong), 'kind of' like ritalin (methylphenidate). You're basically self-medicating, very common among people with this condition.
Talk to your dr about possibly increasing your ritalin dose and/or combining it with some therapy and for god's sake lay off the coke.
