I've taken benzedrex twice so far and am wondering how dangerous/toxic this stuff is? I extract and then drink approx 250mg of Propylhexadrine (the active ingredient in Benzedrex inhalers) each time. I only do it 1 time per day and take the whole 250mg in one dose.

I don't get any scarry side effects while on it, meaning I get all the usual ohysical effects I'd get from around 20mg of adderal taken orally. But still, taking 200x the recomended dosage SEEMS like it could be bad for ur health.

Does anyone have any insight? Thanks

Here's a quote from sekio:


sekio said:
Benzedrex is a hydrogenated derivative of methamphetamine, it's a lot less potent though and works better as a decongestant. It has the troublesome effect of vasoconstriction and elevating blood pressure by a large percentage when it is used "recreationally".

Daily consumption of the cotton would be really unhealthy and would probably produce an intestinal blockage if you weren't careful.

If you have legitimate ADD, go to a doctor and get a diagnosis. Don't abuse decongestants because they will rapidly lose efficacy and cause cardiovascular problems.

You will also experience upon cessation a period of depression or a 'crash' like you do with all stimulants.

Didn't you just create a thread on Benzedrex? You could ask all your questions in one thread for best results.

he created 3 or 4 threads, ALL about benzedrex. he seems to love the stuff, somehow. it actually nauseates me to imagine using it daily.
 
Thanks for the info, I really appreciate the help. Sorry about the multiple threads, but just b/c I'm talking about the same compound doesn't mean they are related questions. I'm specifically concerned with the dangers of this drug: the side effects, acute and long term toxicity, safe dosage ranges, etc... (Other threads were about how to extract the active from the cotton, and what the best way to consume the active is)

I did it for the same reason people make multiple threads for say, heroin related questions- it wouldn't make sense to put every question about a drug into a single thread---if that were true, there would only be a few dozen threads on BL instead of thousands.

Anyway, thanks for link, my concern was about any acute toxic effects from taking sooooo much more than the recommended max dosage. It seems OK...... although not ideal, it doesn't appear that I'm risking an overdose by taking the full 250mg dose. I'm not actually ingesting any cotton, just extacting the chems from it, so intestinal blockages are not a concern. I will have to look at the vasoconstrictive effects again and in more detail though...if anyone thinks taking this dosage is perfectly safe or extremely dangerous I'd like to hear from you please (very infrequently mind you, only done it twice, and have no plans to do it more than 1 or 2 more times). Thanks!
 
Mind it....? I freaking hate it. But like I've mentioned, all other stims available to me don't keep my eyes open, so its either deal with the nasty taste for a min or 2, or risk getting fired.

Once I swallow the stuff and wash the taste out of my mouth I'm fine, the burps aren't that bad at all and I don't burp for no reason so its a rare occurance anyway.

I also have a high tolerance for nasty stuff when it comes to getting chems into my body--dont mind methadone or suboxone, chew up vicodans and percs, suck on the new OC's until completely dissolved, chewed ecstasy, and chew up every other pill too but most benzo's and amph's are benign compared to xtc and large tylenol containing painkillers.

Basically, I'm willing to take the hit if its worth it. The one taste I just can't wrap my tounge around is hard alcohol, I'd rather chew up a bottle of benzo's than take shots of tequilla or sip on scotch, that's one drug I just don't get

That said, the menthol and lavender oil are NASTY and thus the reason I've been trying to find a way around them, but it still isn't enough to prevent me from using the stuff
