Well my first trial of Clomethiazole was interesting. I took gelcap around 7:15pm and promptly got in bed and waited. I started to feel the effects around 7:45pm. It came on pretty fast. A very clean inhibited feeling. Much cleaner than alcohol. It was different from any sedative/hypnotic I've ever felt. It had a bit of a sparkle to it. I felt very lazy, but didn't care. I also felt significantly less intelligent, like it would be hard to solve complex problems on this stuff, but I welcomed the feeling. It was relaxing. There was also a marked burning sensation in my nose (which I had read about on a forum post from many years ago). It was fairly painful to breathe through my nose. It was a very corrosive feeling (like the burn after snorting 2C-I, but not nearly as intense). I tried my best to ignore it and it eventually subsided.
A girl I'm seeing called me around 8:10pm to talk. It was a pleasant conversation, but I didn't have too much to say. I enjoyed listening to her, however I felt my responses to what she had to say lacked depth, in comparison to my responses when sober or on other substances. I definitely don't think this is a very social drug.
Around 8:50pm I ended the conversation and laid on my back in bed for about 40mins. There was a definite decrease in mental function, which I found pleasant. I was relaxed and engulfed with a sparkly euphoric feeling. I felt at peace with everything. The last time I looked at my clock was around 9:30pm. I fell asleep around this time.
Roughly an hour later I was awakened by yelling in the hallway outside my bedroom. Some people I live with were having a rather loud argument. It was 10:30pm. I did not feel any noticeable effects of the drug upon awakening. I also did not feel very tired and knew I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep. I got up and used the bathroom. Had no trouble walking & my coordination was spot on. I then got back in bed and took 7.5mg Zopiclone and 10mg Zolpidem. I laid in bed and texted my girl for about an hour. I felt as though my mental function/intelligence had returned to near baseline. As the Zopiclone & Zolpidem kicked in it did not feel any stronger or different than it normally does (I've taken these drugs for multiple years and am quite accustomed to their effects). I was concerned with possible synergy or potentiation of these drugs, but I don't believe much of either occurred. I fell asleep around 11:45pm and awoke at 6am for work feeling well rested. No hangover or lingering effects.
Overall I'm not totally sure how I feel about this drug. It was definitely interesting and unique. The nose burning effect was extremely unpleasant and one of the largest factors that would make me not want to repeat the experience. I'm not sure if it was quite what I expected, but for the most part it felt pretty good. I'm keeping in mind that I took a very low dose & I suspect the euphoria will be stronger with slightly higher doses (2-3 gelcaps). I think I'll probably try this stuff again fairly soon (since I have 59 gelcaps left) and since it was a pretty good experience. I certainly would not take this in a social setting though and I am going to try to space my trials out over time so to mitigate the chances of encountering some of the negative effects I've read about with frequent use (bad breath/body smell, psychosis, etc.)
On another note, I got 100 x 400mg Equanil (Meprobromate) tablets (aka Milltown) this morning from South Africa (one of the few places you can still get a Rx for them). I'm feeling really chill right now haha =3 These things are definitely better than Carisoprodol IMO. Very different feeling, pretty cool. Now I know why these were so popular when they first hit the market
