This is my first time writing a trip report, so I hope it's helpful to someone!
I'm a fairly experienced opiate user, and have also have experience taking stimulants such as adderall a few times. So, my tolerance is a little hard to define; definitely above low but nowhere near high. Somewhere in the middle, probably closer to the low side. At the moment I don't have any access to either opiates or stimulants so I've been researching OTC options and kept reading about Benzedrex. I bought one at Walgreens a few days ago and extracted the cotton as I'd read on other experience reports. I decided, since this was my first time, to just take half of one inhaler and see how that went.
I cut the cotton into small pieces (5 or 6) and swallowed one by one, washing down with cranberry juice. I was taking this on any empty stomach. From what I'd read, there is a distinct menthol odor so I figured something with a strong taste was best to wash it down with. I found the ingesting experience to be quite easy but defintely noticed the menthol taste I'd read about. But it was nothing horrible or vomit-inducing. I started feeling effects withing 20-30 minutes, feeling more alert and wanting to do more things such as housecleaning tasks. My boyfriend came home from work not long after this and I found myself much more talkative than usual, almost like I couldn't stop myself. We ate a small dinner at this time. I would say within 3 hours the effects had worn off.
So my next experience was last night (2 nights after my first try). I bought another inhaler at Walgreens and had intended to take the entire cotton this time. I went into the bathroom to take it, and while extracting the cotton from the inhaler, I accidentally I dropped the top of the inhaler, and the cotton down the sink (which of course didn't have a "stopper" or whatever it's called, in it). I was able to fish the top plastic piece out but the cotton was long gone! I was obviously not meant to try again that night!
The next day I bought two more. Unfortunately I don't have access to anything else right now so I decided to try Benzedrex again. Tonight, I took an entire inhaler cotton (250mg) and waited. This time I wasn't on an empty stomach but close, I had only had a Zone bar shortly before. I cut the cotton into many very small pieces and ingested each fairly quickly, using Pepsi this time to wash it down. I again found the speeding up feeling to happen within 20 minutes or so, and I was extremely talkative. Honestly, I didn't feel much difference from taking half the time before. We went out to dinner this time, and I only ate a very small portion of my meal, I had a very small appetite by this time. The stimulating effects lasted maybe 2 or 3 hours.
Overall Benzedrex is enjoyable, but probably only for a few times. I wouldn't want to continue my use or ingest much more cotton than I have already...I have one inhaler left which I'll most likely use sometime over the weekend, but beyond that it's not overwhelming as a stimulant.
