I just have a couple questions about this.

I was unable to go to sleep tonight. I have classes at 11am and it's 5am now. I'm afraid to fall asleep.

So i've been reading about stuff to keep me awake and I have ephedrine in my cabinet but it's a crappy drug so i looked up alternatives.

Came across benzedrex cotton.

I plan on cutting up 1/4th and soaking it in water and drinking it. (Is it required to use an acidy drink? Can I put it in orange juice?)
BUt before i do it I want some questions that reading threads about benzedrex hasn't answered.

1. Is it "okay" to drink it before school? Like is it noticable to others that i'm obviously under the influence of something?

2. Should i drink it on a full stomach?

3. Will I be unable to take notes or "act normal"

4. WHen it comes to cutting up the 1/4, should i only use the brown part? or would that be bad.
 
ALso is it safe to drive on?
I know what i've read says it's like Adderal or meth.
But i've also seen MDMA thrown out there, and i've never done MDMA due to me somehow being immune to it. I've tried it 8 times (yes 8) and never felt anything.
SO i have no clue what MDMA is like.
 
Its a pretty shitty stimulant. You may not even feel anything with a quarter of the cotton. Will it keep you awake? Probably but your heart may be racing. I would just drink coffee if I were you.
 
I tried this way back in the day when I was extremely desperate and niave. It's a very very dirty high and the comedown worse than most conventional stimulants. When trying to extract the drug from the cotton in those nasal inhaler, the solution almost always retain the taste and you will burp up the smell/taste of eucalyptus, camphor, menthol and lavender and will want to puke. Heavy bodyload & little euphoria or motivation = not worth it.

Please keep in mind, there ARE deaths related to the abuse of propylhexedrine. Take a look: 1 & 2

And driving on any intoxicating substance taken for recreational purposes is not safe.
 
The flavor permanently scarred me.

The high is shit and moreish in a fucked up way because it's so dirty and gross, and the comedown just the same.

Everything about it says shit garbage, vasco-constricting and damaging stuff.

Stay away.
 
It was good the first time I did it. I tried it a couple of times a week or two later, and it seemed like it almost induced the crash immediately, with only fleeting traces of euphoria.
 
the high is pretty good if you take the whole cotton but the last time I did that the comedown lasted two days. my hands were shaky and I had noticble vasoconstriction an muscle tension.

if you just want to stay up definitely just go with coffee. propylhexedrine is more of a party drug, if you stay up all day on this stuff you will probably want to kill yourself the when it wears off.

I did it the first time, it was kinda good with crazy vascoconstriction. I tried it a few more times, I could never stand the flavor again much less the negative effects, and the HOORIBLE vascoconstriction, and especially the ungodly fucked crash for such a shit high.

ROFL. A shitty high thats moreish. that should answer your question OP

Indeed, the one redeem quality is a slight euphoria that goes away quickly, as I say later 1 point, all the negatives 99 points giving it a total rating of 1/100. Sorry, my opinion.

Indeed stay with coffee and forget the name benzedrex or propylhexedrine. Just forget it, way better party functional stims out there that are safer. Like Addreall, or eph as I mention next.

It had HORRIBLE vascoconstriction, the high is made worse by the anxiety, the flavor, and the just dirty dirty high. I even think some of the RC stims like, ethylphenidate actually physiologically safer than propylhexedrine. But that's IMHO, YMMV.

Propylhex is just terrible all around. One euphoric go around gets 1 points, and all the negative side effects(Heavy vascoconstriction and muscle tension, and vision impairment and other moreish nature of a shit drug) gets 99 points, giving this drug 1/100 for me. . Sorry, find another chemical, hell even caffeine and tea would be better.

Or if you really wanna, down

Levmetamfetamine sold as vicks inhalers is actually the levorotatory enantiomer of methamphetamine. It gave a quick rush followed by horrible vascoconstriction, but menthol still better than all of the shit in the benzedrex inhalers. Please find another way to get messed up! (I'm not recommending the levo-methamphetamine vics inhalers route to a mild high, but if you have to do something, I see it as less dangerous than the propylhex fucked up gross tasting route IMHO, but as I said YMMV, just my advice for harm reduction)

I enjoy propylhexedrine maybe once every 2 months. It is a nice high for 2-5 hours, but the comedown is the worst comedown I have ever experienced. The comedown from meth is a walk in a park compared to propylhexedrine for me.

Also I suggest soaking it in orange juice for 45-60 minutes, then get a pasta strainer and a bowl or glass and pour the juice and cotton mixture into the strainer which is over your glass or bowl. I use a bowl because it is hard to get all the juice and good shit into the glass when using a pasta strainer. It tastes like shit but it is the best OTC drug out there IMO. The high feels dirty, but if you can't find any amphetamines then it is a good second choice

However, even if I do it once a week, the second time I do it the high fucking blows and I'm left with a shitty feeling for 2 days.!

Understood. Should one find themself in such a dilemma though, what's the ROA on the vicks?
 
Same. Oral, but it's pretty unpleasant, what horrible menthol flavor, but not as outrageous as the benzedrex. What gets you really high is the dextrorotary isomer of meth, and it's usually sold on the street racemic (levo+dextro 50-50), and sold at the pharmacy as Desoxyn as pure dextromethamphetamine..
 
OP,

Propylhexedrine is a very euphoric and convenient OTC stimulant. 250 mg, or one cotton, is a standard low dose. Two, or 500 mg, is closer to a high similar to MDMA or cocaine.

Some effects you should expect: Body tingles, euphoria, energy, increase in sex drive, increase in talkativeness, boosts in confidence/paranoia/aggression, pupil dilation, and dry mouth.

When doing an extraction, soak small pieces of the cotton in something with citric acid. This will make the high come on faster, be stronger, but last shorter. Eating pieces of the cotton itself is not healthy, but not dangerous. This will last much longer, and have more of a drawn out comedown.

Realize that the drug itself is more than likely not evenly distributed on a cotton, and would take a reasonably well thought-out extraction process to do so with measurements. Accordingly, its best to stick to increments of 250, 500, 750, or; a cotton as a unit of measurement.

For vasoconstriction, it is important to use a vasodilator of some sort. For example, 3 advils and a beer will counter these side effects. Gingko biloba is another supplement which may keep blood flow running properly. Do not underestimate dangers of acute vasoconstriction.

Combinations: -Two substances that uniquely interact with prophylexedrine making it more euphoric with the character of an empathogen are: Dipenhydramine and St. John's Wort. These will change the character and make it more euphoric.
-Nitrous Oxide also synergizes very well with propylhexedrine.

Do not underestimate the power of this drug. It is a stimulant with all mental effects that go along with it. Many internet reports that you will read, or word of mouth anecdotes are designed to dissuade the popularity of this drug to keep its OTC availability.

Realize that this drug has a very pronounced crash. It may take a handful of uses before this happens, but the comedown from a regular dosing is very paranoid, anxious, and physically uncomfortable.

Good luck.

I suppose that may be true.... if it were available in pure form. If you wanna extract or parachute benzedrex inhalers for the worst tasting and feeling high possible, be my guest.

Just go get drunk

and I hate alcohol

I can't say you're wrong about the taste, however I wouldn't be so quick to shrug off the actual effects of propylhexedrine. I've seen many more reports of positive effects than people who didn't like the effects.

I must admit I fucking hate the thought of getting high on an otc drug. It's something that high school losers do who can't get any decent drugs. Go chug a bottle of cough syrup, FML. Not to hate on DXM, but the buzz from that is disgusting imo, but then I'm not a fan of dissociatives and ketamine leaves me feeling just as awkward in my body as dxm does.

Ok back to the topic at hand, it seems one can certainly achieve a high and euphoria off of these stimulant inhalers.

Erowid rated several reports on this chemical with a star. They never give stars out unless they believe a chemical can produce the desired effects, IME of reading hundreds of trip reports.

Speculation aside, is there anyone reading this thread who has used benzedrex, as responsibly as possible lol, (I'm just looking for a one time fix off this thing as no better chemicals are available at the moment due to having no money or time to wait for a chemical, however we do have a benzedrex inhaler.) I really do not want to swallow cotton, it just seems terrible although I heard it's pretty harmless (as harmless as swallowing a cotton inhaler can be lmao) but I'm not willing to put that shit into my body. I also read someone saying 45 minutes soaked in OJ will do the trick in terms of extraction, no need to wait 24 hours.

Please help a pitiful tweaker looking for a quick fix out and give me the lowdown on the best way to catch a euphoric buzz off this inhaler? =D

My friend, what is your preferred method of extraction? Would you say 2 cottons for a first time would be too much? Are you sure one 250mg cotton extracted would be considered a low dose for most people? How about 2 cottons in a glass of OJ for 45 minutes? Would I just squeeze the cotton out after 45 minutes? Going to look into the method used, but any advice would be appreciated.

I will also report back on the effects, going to prepare my ingredients right now. Would anyone like to join me? Hehe, let's catch the last otc buzz I think I will ever be willing to try!

Forgive my hasty excitement and triple post, I assure I will not make another post again in this thread until someone else responds, it seems I am naturally stimulated without being on a stimulant and also excited to try this otc. %)

I see the question I was posing was answered by this kind gentle sir, my gratitudes chappy! Chad bro chill 17 right here is about to have his first fling with an otc that promises a worthy BUZZ.

Let the soaking begin.

Should I do 1 or 2 cottons? Would like to just dose once. Would one cotton be enough to get me off you think? Any tidbits and opinions on this dosing concern would be very appreciated. I will soak each cotton in their own cup just in case.
 
1.... if you must, probably half to start, you can always take the other half.


I got high off of it three times. The first time I took two which was overpowering, way too much vasoconstriction as well as and visual distortion. The first was kinda pleasant (but not really compared to real stims like Amp), the other two shittier and shitter. I'd puke if i smelt a benzedrex inhaler again.

There's a good reason it's still OTC even though its a psychostimulant....

Ya, I'm sure most of my hope for this stuff is wishful thinking. I just can't get over the positive reports on this. I will definitely report back on how this affects me. Going to stick with 250mg, I'm not sure about the person saying that is a low dose, it seems to be a very active dose and probably wouldn't be a good idea to take more. Having to take 500mg or 750mg of this stuff means you are probably turning to it somewhat often for a high.

Thanks for the reply.

"Many internet reports that you will read, or word of mouth anecdotes are designed to dissuade the popularity of this drug to keep its OTC availability."
Lmao, some kind of benzedrex cult conspiracy? Really now? ParappaTheRapper, just how often do you use this chemical?

Words of advice,

"PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH THIS CHEMICAL. NOT A LOT IS KNOWN ABOUT ITS TOXICITY AND EFFECTS ON VITAL ORGANS.
Propylhexedrine is a potent vasoconstrictor and adrenergic that's similar in structure to meth, so don't underestimate the risks.

Some people recommend taking an entire inhaler's worth at once, but this can be dangerous to those with no tolerance. One inhaler contains 250 mg. of propyl, while amounts prescribed for weight loss in the 1960s were around 25 mg. One has to remember that it's meant to provide numerous inhalations and is meant to be taken intranasally in microdoses, so an entire inhaler's worth is simply too much for most people.

Start with small doses and don't mix it with other stims, even caffeine."

"
DON'T take that much your first time, take about half of an inhaler, because this drug has unique effects on people that can be VERY severe.
I personally have a great time on this drug, occasionally people get excruciatingly painful thunderclap headaches, and find the comedown the worst of any drug they ever tried. If you have a good reaction, you can move on to a full inhaler. It's definitely not something to be played with, I mean, some people have said it's more damaging to the body than meth."
