No they have not been banned or will be they been around for 27+ years. DEA/FDA already went through phases to decide whether to control it. But in Canada its C5 I think. I got it at local CVS just asked lady at pharmacy she said here and paid $11 bucks for 2 bottles. My report of my 1st time is below for those thinking about trying it. Igonore the horror stories they are due to likely overdosage, mixing drugs with it, improper extraction, or eating the whole roll without cutting it up and putting it in capsules or those eating it on full stomachs. Do it right and its 90% like adderall. 1 bottle = 50-60mg adderall without as much negative PNS stimulation, stomach ache, cant sleep for 14-16 hours, etc. And the come down was I would say 30% of what it is on adderall. Lasted 20-30 min and then urges to take more then when i calmed down and went back distracting myself into the video game i was fine again.
I have just got bought 2 bottles of Benzedrex in US in box from CVS. Was skeptical and afraid of too much PNS effects and less CNS euphoria. I sometimes get adderall but dont have the money for them now. So I read up for 2 hours about it and decided to give it a try. Im a nurse so I know the pharmacology and understood its effects should be pharmacologically very similar to that of amphetamines/dextroamphetamines since the way it works is very similar to adderall which you can read at bottom of page. But it its not such an easy route of administration because of the lavender oil & menthol but I found a solution I took the benzedrex broke it open, found the brown spots, cut off 1/6 tip of a piece that was pure white almost all cotton, then cut up the remaining cotton roll inside, into 4 pieces, I then got capsules from a valerian root bottle I had, and used a skinny piece of straight metal which was a tiny screwdriver i had, and just put the little cotton pieces in front of the capsule hole and used the metal to push them in since they are cotton and can bend/oily and forced them into 3 seperate capsules.
Drank them down on empty stomach with half glass fat free milk. (No other drugs in my system except a 1mg clonazepam around 1pm. Note I dosed the benzedrex at 930pm at night.)
+15min in= Light/sound seemed more intense alittle tense since 1st time
+30min= A few mild lavender burps NOTHING like described as horrible or puking, just a normal short burp with a tinge of lanvender taste maybe 3x every hour
+45= feeling light come up much like a 40mg dose of teva barr adderall but not as intense PNS over stimulation POW feeling, more light coming on
+1 hr= taking a shower, feels so good, singing music in my head and verbally crave for music and my thing when i tweak video games or phone calls with girlfriend
+1hr 15= got dressed laid in bed with TV on and definitely feel stimulated, energetic, slight euphoria rising, felt like a smoother coming up then adderall
+1 45= full blast euphoia on a scale of 50-60mg adderall but less PNS stimulation more euphoric but still stimulating. (i say adderall is like stim=9 euph=10) (this was like benzedrex was more like (stim=7.5 euphoria=10) began doing my favorite activity on stimulants put tv on in my room alone, playing video games on xbox360 or nintendo DS, while music videos play on the music channel quietly in background 100% adderall could NOT tell the different besides less negative PNS, no racing heart-rate like I get on 60mg adderall usually 120 BPM heart rate, my BPM checked 3 times throughout ranged from 90-102 Blood pressure was 108 sys 86 dia FINE on add its 115 over 90 high
+2hr 30 min= no loss in stim or euphoric effects totally engrossed in video game without neg side effects of 60mg adderall
+3hr 30 min = no loss but decided to talk on phone with gf, talked for 3 hours, social, happy, talkative, typical adderall effects only pissed once in the 3 hr convo.
+6hr 45 min= light light come down barely noticable lasted 20 min, just didnt want effects to end contemplated taking the 2nd roll but said no ill enjoy it tommorrow rejuvenated havent eaten since noon a bowl of cereal and yogurt.
Feel light euphoria maybe a 4 out of 10. Stimulation still is moderate 6.5-7 out of 10 but not in a bad way. NO STOMACH ACHES like i get on addies my fave drug. Even with the nasty lavender but if you put them in capsules and drink milk with them and dont take more then 1 to 1.5 rolls youll be fine. barely noticed the burps. Never had sensation to puke or anxiety or paranoia nothing.
Its 3:34 AM now like 7 hours later, i took 30mg ambien, 2mg clonazepam to hopefully help me get some sleep in the next 1-2 hrs.
I want to eat snack, shower, go to sleep now, the 90% of the euphoria is gone. Stimulation about 60% or so. But its not overwhelming.
Going to use this when I dont have access to addies, if I had prove the cotton lavender and menthol was safe to consume and was more pharmacology & facts on its half life etc etc etc. i would prefer if over addies. If it was in pill form id buy it over addies anyday.
Coming from someone who fave med is addies for the last 4-5 yrs. So Im off to bed, just wanted to give an accurate report for those contemplating trying it. Do it my way to a TEE and youll be FINE. Dont double dose the 1st time, take 1 roll cut up put in capsules or 75% of 1 roll 1st. And do on empty stomach or light light snack like a granola bar or pBJ sandwhich. stomach really should be milk and the benz in capsules.
This is exactly my experience and how it went for me, so if youre looking for an accurate report on it, this is it, when u take the time to dose right. PS same small penis like most stimulants and extreme intense reaction to porn. sorry if too much info but hey there needs to be accurate info out there full report. any questions just ask me. The correct drug should be Benzedrex (active ingredient Propylhexdrine) not what some others are saying.
Be careful be safe, and dont swallow it whole take the time, I used sissors to cut them up in 4-5 smaller pieces to carefully "push" with skinny metal stick into the capsules they bend and fold in like 2-3 pieces in each capsule.
Look for the brown part of the roll thats the good stuff. but still take the whole roll unless u see a section thats PURE white and cotton only. Good luck be safe highly prefer having some benzodiazepines handy in case of overstimulation or to sleep afterwards or a Z drug like ambien. so far its been 1 hour and all that sleep meds didnt do squat for making me tired lol
god bless
"The pharmacology of propylhexedrine is not fully understood, but it appears to act as an alpha-adrenergic receptor agonist, as well as reverse the transporters for dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, leading to a release of monoamines from presynaptic vesicles into the synaptic cleft. The increased level of monoamines within the synapse results in increased activity at these receptors. Additionally, propylhexedrine appears to antagonize the VMAT2 transporter, leading to a further increase in the aforementioned monoamines. The pharmacological actions of propylhexedrine are similar to that of structurally similar stimulant phenethylamines, such as amphetamine."
