I had what is apparently a rare effect from MJ which I really liked (apart from the extreme dizziness and related nausea), so I was hoping I'd be one of the lucky ones with nutmeg too.
I ground a (very old) whole nutmeg, and let it steep for a couple of hours in a very small glass of red wine, which I strained through the strainer part of a coffee percolater just before drinking. After that, the experience reminded me of me time on quetiapine (for sleep). It put me to sleep pretty quickly, and I slept right through the night, but in the morning, soon after waking I was sleepy again, enough that I wanted to sleep again, and I spent the rest of the morning fending off sleep. That much was just like when I was taking Q. The difference being that fending off sleep was all day every day even before I took Q, (other prescriptions previously may have contributed) but I couldn't actually blame the Q, whereas I can blame the nutmeg. On the other hand, this has almost completely worn off less than 18 hours later.
So I have a question. Is the extreme fatigue due to the 'active' part, or is it due to something else in the nutmeg?
i.e. Would taking isolated myristicin and elemis be any better? TIA
