Well, I'm not sure if this should go in here or the health forum, so I'll just post here... no flames about this, please.
Saturday was a boring day. I had nine dollars left, not enough for marijuana (atleast not in the quantities I smoke), so my friend comes over and he's like, "Got drugs?" He's been clean for about six months now, so I start with the attempt to keep him from them... like he made me promise. He quickly corrected me and told me he was asking if I needed anything... of course, I jumped out of my seat and asked the usual plethora of questions, "<i>Who? What? How Much? Where?</i>" When I heard 99 cents, I damn near jumped to the ceiling. It was legal ephedrine... with a nice little dose of Guifansen. Two hundred mg to be exact. I thought I could have handled it, and normally, I would have... but this time, I made a big mistake. I ate... and puked.. A LOT. Here's where my concern comes in.
I got home about an hour later, very stoned since we went and smoked with a friend after I puked. I got up, left the car, ascended the stairs to my apartment, and walked in. The ephedrine had left me but that unmistakable body buzz was still there. VERY pleasant, might I add. I walked into the kitchen where my mom was and she started talking to me. I went blind... but not truly blind... it was like blacking out for a few seconds and having HEAVY CEVs with my eyes opened. This lasted about 5 seconds. When my vision returned, I was left very winded and lightheaded so I quickly excused myself, went to my room, sat down, and everything got better. I got up later to get a drink, she started talking to me again, and this time it happened for roughly 30-35 seconds, my vision came back, and then it left AGAIN... only to return AFTER I stumbled back into my room... Jesus, man! Anyway, the question I'm asking is: Does anyone know what the hell this was? This never happened to me when I took meth, and I know there's ephedrine in that. Could it have somehow been the Guifansen?

there's no ephedrine in meth. ephedrine is related to meth.
guaifenesin is quite commonly given in dosages of 300mg, more than once a day.
it's likely that it wasn't an effect of either drug, rather some kind of reaction.
 
Hmm. I was told that ephedrine is used to make meth and that meth was the same thing as speed. Am I misguided? I've snorted something I've been told was speed before (and got tweaked as all hell... so whether or not it was, the desired effects were achieved) and have smoked meth... there wasn't much difference in the highs...
 
ephedrine = speed
and its like meth... only weaker and theres not as much euphoria.
ephedrine has nasty side effects when abused.
the think you expirenced is a "head rush" its normal for stimulant use... the more you use the more intense they get it sucks imo.
 
What was this? This was an instance
where you should have followed the
directions on the box verbatim.

ephedrine is used to make meth. it isn't in meth. that would explain the discrepancy in effects.

Ephedrine is easily made into methamphetamine, and as other have said, there isn't ephedrine *IN* meth unless someone cut the meth with it after the fact..
You simply got to experience what TOO MUCH EPHEDRINE feels like - surprise, there is a reason you opnly pop a couple of them to stay awake, you reduce it to methamphetamine because as-is, ephedine is crappy!
 
^^^yea what he said
i think u had those mini black outs cause you just shot your blood pressure and heart rate to fuck.
personally i like meth better because it works tons better, and it doesn't get the ol ticker goin as much as ephies do.
but then again ephies are cheap and they do work really well with caffine and asprin for those nice long endurence runs.
