Before responding to the subject, I have a complaint. I love bluelight and have enjoyed reading the information provided herein. Having decided that I would like to contribute my experiences, I signed up for an account. Forty-five minutes later I'm still waiting for authorization to post.
Just to post, mind you, my personal experiences and advice. Pixels on a screen. Nevertheless, I'm in the "moderation queue" for the past hour, now. Going to check again and,
ok, I'm in...
Pseudoephedrine is quite safe in my experience. I've consumed many of those pills and they're fine.
According to -
http://www.pcl.ox.ac.uk/MSDS/PS/(+)-pseudoephedrine.html - the median lethal dose (orally) is 660mg/kg.
I'd keep it to 2-4 (30mg) pills per dose, every 4-6 hours. More than that would likely have diminishing returns.
In my experience, pseudoephedrine may precipitate anxiety.
I take pseudo because it gives me a mild tweak. When I'm on it, I take 90mg every 4h or so.
It also helps with my mood; I find it to be as or more effective than paroxetine, bupropion, and citalopram.
I have abused methamphetamine and cocaine in my past; I suspect these past experiences with such stimulants have preconditioned me to the effects of pseudoephedrine. That is, if you haven't done coke or crank, don't expect to feel much off of pseudo. It's a subtle experience for a stimulant-virgin mind.
As I said, it usually just gives me a mild tweak. A "smooth" feeling that I, for the most part, subconsciously enjoy while performing everyday activities. I've found that I need to take some time off between boxes as well, perhaps about a week or so, to let my natural chemicals replenish.
Bottom line, it's not going to fuck you up too bad, you might lose a bit of sleep and feel mildly strung out on occasion, but it clearly won't compare to the feelings of despair and hopelessness that one might experience from more powerful stimulants.
I've found this drug to help keep my appetite in check as well.
