I'm not trying to get "high" exactly, I just want to use it for mental clarity, staying up, the basics like that. The only stimulants I have ever taken are Caffeine and Nicotine (daily through coffee and smokeless tobacco.) I dont really want to swallow the cotton or anything like that, will simply inhaling it as directed on the bottle do the trick? Give a lift I guess? Thanks for the insight.

Probably not-the active ingredient propylhexadrine is about 5x weaker than dextroamphetamine (one inhaler properly extracted and absorbed feels close to taking 50mg of d-amp). I suppose if you continuously inhale it you would get some stimulation, but I feel that it would be more worth your while to extract the active ingredient out of half a cotton.

Benzedrex is not made for staying up/mental clarity. It's meant to be a decongestant...
I tried it and it's really not half bad, it's not much less recreational than racemic amphetamine or methylphenidate.

Benzedrex is very bad for your PNS system and heart... It's chiral like all stimulants and it's got a hefty dose of LEVO side... 50-50% I think... It's really not worth the trouble, you're better off looking into ephedrine HCL as a supplement, but beware both chemicals are very toxic and if you have health problems it would playing russian roulette... Taking a six shooter and placing one bullet and spinning it, than firing a shot, if you survive you beat Russian roulette, DOES THAT SOUND FUN? Stay safe and most importantly stay informed...

Two of my platoon mates in the 75th Airborne were taking ephedrine supplements during a PT test and early morning PT(Physical Training) They died of dehydration and cardiac arrest, it's dangerous if you're not properly educated and taking the proper precautions.. HYDRATE OR DIE..

The levo-enantiomer is not to blame*, it's just that because propylhexidrine lacks the normal aromatic ring of meth/amphetamine, it no longer binds the monoamine transporters very well, preferring to act as an adrenergic agonist (like DMAA).
* In fact, laevoamphetamine is actually basically inactive filler when considered at "typical" dose levels - the affinity that dextroamphetamine has for monoamine transporters is about 10x stronger than the laevo isomer. A lot of the percieved "roughness" comes from expectation/placebo effects.

Regular doses for medicinal use is ok.. Recreational use is not warranted and while exercising you must retain extreme caution of dehydration which will lead to a body melt down.. It was a very very sad day at Fort Bragg, NC... That is why I call it Russian roulette.. They had done it before but this time they got the bullets

Meaning, the most pronounced effects would be an increase in blood pressure/heart-rate, muscle tension/spasms...stuff along those lines...because it causes a release in adrenaline at high doses?

It doesn't neccesarily cause adrenaline release, but rather acts as a direct mimic of adrenaline.
But it still does bind to monoamine transporters, henceforth it's recreational potential. It just feels like you had some caffeine with your adderall. Some alcohol (or benzos) and weed make it feel great and the side effects ignorable.

Damn man sorry to hear, i think doing any stimulant before physical training or working out is a horrible idea. What a terrible way to go : (

They were just dehydrated, they should have been aware of the risks... It would have not happened if they were drinking a BCAA liquid hydration solution in their camel-backs... So now you understand how its Russian roulette right? Stay safe, stay hydrated and stay informed.
