This is my first TR so criticism is welcome
So for those you who are unfamiliar with benzedrex, it is an inhaler sold OTC in america as a nasal decongestant. Some people report that if you break open the inhaler and consume the cotton filter, which contains propylhexedrine it gives you a speedy, amphetamine-like high. After researching this substance on bluelight, erowid, and wikipedia i discovered that it had the most mixed reviews of any drug I've researched, Some users raved about it saying it was on par with meth and some claimed it was the worst drug they have ever consumed. So I decided it might be worthwhile to at least try.
I have relatively little experience with stims. I take adderal probably 1-2 times a month and have done coke around 10 times a year ago.
So at around noon yesterday i went to walgreens and picked up one of these inhalers for around 5 dollars.
When I got home I took the inhaler out of the box and the first thing that i noticed is that these things smell absolutely horrid (the one thing all reports had in common) I was planning on just cutting the filter up and swallowing it, but after smelling the inhaler I realized that swallowing it plain was out of the question. Some users reported breaking the filter up and putting it in gelcaps. I didnt have any gelcaps so i broke it into tiny pieces and wrapped all of them in toilet paper as if i was parachuting a pill.
1:00 pm- Swallowed the parachute containing one inhaler filter(250 mg's of propylhexedrine) with arizona green tea. It got caught in my throat on the way down and i got a hint of the taste which made me severely gag, but i managed to keep it down by continuing to drink green tea.
1:15- Feeling a little jittery, but this is only the anxiety of having taken a drug for the first time that people had such mixed opinions on.
1:30- No noticeable effects, calmed down and started to play the drums
2:00- 1st noticed effect, I Noticed that I have started to play faster beats on the drums and seemed to be more in the groove, slight stimulation not unlike a cup of coffee.
2:30- Decided to go on the computer to work on my photo's and listen to music. Concentration somewhat increased, not as much as adderall, but more so than coffee. Not euphoric, just stimulating.
2:50- Leave my house to go to my photo class. As I got in my car I lit a cigarette. I noticed that I enjoyed the cigarette more than usual (adderall has the same effect on me). While driving to school the effects become more pronounced. Equal stimulation as a 30 mg adderall xr, but alot smoother and calm. Significant increase in appreciation of music and some euphoria.
3:00- Arrive to class. My teacher wasn't there yet so I was talking to a female friend in the class. I noticed I was more talkative than usual.
4:00- After my teacher arrived she put on a video about ansel adams. As I was watching it I realized an interesting effect on my vision. I had somewhat of tunnel vision with a rainbow-like effect on my peripheral vision. My thought process changed as well, it started to seem almost psychedelic. I also noticed that my entire body, but especially my head, had an extremely pleasent "tingle". Very euphoric
5:00- Stopped watching the video and the effect on my vision went away. (it was probably due to the low light in the room) I think I have reached the plateau. Working in photoshop on my photos was more enjoyable.
6:00-I get out of class and my friend from class, lets call her "c" invites me over to her apartment. We have a strange relationship. We are real good friends and also friends with benefits. On the drive to her place I continued to notice more appreciation for music.
6:45-We start kissing and i notice that my sex drive was very heightened, However my sexual performance was not so "up" if you know what I mean
6:45-7:45- I'll leave the details out but we continued to fool around, and after a while I gained an erection. tactile sensation was amazing.
8:00- start playing guitar hero with c, The game is alot more fun than usual. But i notice that I am starting to come down somewhat.
8:30- Made a turkey sandwich at c's place, appetite was smaller. But not as much as on adderall.
9:30: still stimulated noticeably, but perfectly content just sitting with c watching TV
11:00- Completely down, very smooth comedown with no bad effects, unlike adderall. However I know, being an insomniac, I would not be able to fall asleep. So I drive down the street to my apartment, grab 2 ambiens and come back to c's
11:45- Me and c fool around some more, I take an ambien and give her one.
12:30- I stay at her house for the night and we decide to go to sleep because we both have class at 8 am the next day. I fall asleep without a problem thanks to the ambien.
wake up at 7:00 the next morning feel tired but no more-so than any other morning, after my morning coffee i feel perfect.
Overall I'd say this is a very worthwhile substance, I wouldn't say similar to adderall or coke other than the stimulation but a very unique, interesting substance.The only negative things I noticed are the god-awful smell/taste and the sexual side-effect. I will probably do it again, I might try 500mg's in the future. If i do do it again I plan on extracting the propylhexedrine from the filter using lemon juice because of the reports i read that the filter is bad for your GI tract.
