Not on a train, sadly.
I apologize for the berevety of this report. Stimulants are generally easy to describe in just a couple of sentences, and writing more than that is even harder when it comes to this one!

Basically, after stopping a life-consuming amphetamine addiction last october, I've naturally had cravings over that period. During the last month, I decided to try and satisfy some of those cravings by expermineting with this rather little-publicized drug, 2-Aminoindan, or cyclized amphetamine.

I honestly haven't kept a log of my trials, but there were three separate "trial periods" as I would title them. I'll explain more:

The first time I tried it, I started with 5mg Rectally and kept going up by 5mg increments after 1/2 an hour for the first and 15mins for each subsequent one untill reaching 40mg. This "ladder" method was used in the next two trials as well, and I was doing it because I was unable to find good dosing info anywhere - I read 5mg and 500mg descriptions that sounded rather similar!!

So for the first trial: Initial 5mg felt nothing. By the time I reached 15mg, I felt an interesting sedation, and a very notable sudden absense of the neck and head pain that I had earlier that day. GREAT non-opioiod painkiller at this dose. Besides that, I actually felt sedation. There was nothing here to remind me that I've taken a stimulant. So sedating it was, in fact, that I found myself nodding, but not in the opiate kind of wat, but rather in the lethargic, nodding-due-to-tiredness kind of way - not unlike the effect I've seen people get during the onset of AMT.

My second trial: I started with 10mg (rectal), then went up in 10mg increments every 20mins-ish. I kept going untill I reached 60mg. At this point, there was the same painkilling effect, same sedation, with a cup-of-coffee-like stimulation. Again, not bad, but I don't exactly feel it is worth taking a Dopamine-depleting drug is exactly worth these effects.

And herein was the most awful thing about this drug. I'd like to compare it to amphetamine... I'd say taking Amphetamine to taking 2AI, is like fucking a living person is to fucking a corpse (not that I've tried the latter...). This causes one to redose. And redose. And redose. I initially wanted to stop at 50mg, but I just HAD to go on to 60. There were several more redoses several hours later. All resulted in no satisfaction. What is worse, the next morning, for some reason, I re-did the whole thing but went up to 60mg within 1 hour, again with no change in effects (in fact, perhaps some tolerance build up), and then I gave up.

The third experiment: A few days later. Went similar to second experience, but in hopes of reaching conclusions without the rampant re-dosing of last time, I decided to jump from 30mg to 70mg in one shot (all rectal). Only then did i feel myself approaching anything useful. So, foolishly, I took 30mg more to reach a total of 100mg within 2 hours time. At this point, it suddenly turned ugly. Classic symptoms of dopaminergic overdose: hypertension, severe headache, and nausea. Benzos helped me survive till the crisis was over.

Luckily, this shit only lasts 3 hours or so (rectally). I have not touched it since then, and likely would only bother with it at >20mg doses as a NSAID-substitute ;).
 
2-ai seems to be a dud from what I have read about the substance. There are very few instances of any subjects getting anything even remotely useful from the ingestion of up to about 75mg, and above that level, it sounds like it starts to get dangerous.
 
What was your thinking in choosing rectal as your ROA? Just curious, feels like an odd choice to me, but I haven't taken anything that way, (other than Rx's meant to be taken pr).
 
Rectal administration is the default dosing method for me.

I think it comes out of always being low on drugs and wanting to be economical :D

Though my choice here was also specifically because I enjoy rapid absorption of [supposed] CNS stimulants, and I read that this stuff burns when snorted. Actually it burns a LOT (irritant alert!) in the rectum - much like GBL. Thats what whenever I took it I diluted with cupious ammounts of milk and benzocaine.

Plugging may work well, but if the substance burns like a bitch, I would probably just eat it orraly;)

2-aminoindanyl-5,6-methylendioxybenzene is FAR preferable.

CUZ I KNOW

Yeah, I also think Ketobemidone would be preferable too.

Unfortunately, I have access to neither Ketobemidone or 2-aminoindanyl-5,6-methylendioxybenzene, so I am only able to write a report about what I have tried ;).
