Woah, what's that like? Always thought Quaaludes sounded up my alley but the analogues don't seem to hold up well and of course, ludes kinda disappeared here after the 80s.
Honestly, I don't think it's anything special. It's just another downer, at the end of the day, and I think anyone expecting to be blown away Wolf of Wall Street style might be a little disappointed... Previously I've always combined it with alcohol and cocaine - although in lower doses - and it is a definite potentiator of the former, and the muscle relaxant effects are quite evident. This time most recently I went up to 300mg plus an extra 150mg an hour later and the effects were far more pronounced, but it was also sedating to the point I just felt like going to sleep. A stimulant at that point would probably have been a great addition, but I didn't want to take any as I hadn't slept at all the night before and the whole point was to counter lingering post-stimulant anxiety. The muscular sloppiness, in my experience, is also massively out of proportion to the psychological disinhibition. At one point I stood up and pretty much immediately fell over, and when I'd be walking around I was really clumsy, knocking into stuff, etc, although I was actually still able to coordinate my fingers to text, minus a few typos, and was having a good time, but I didn't really get any pronounced euphoria like I've heard reported elsewhere. For that reason, while it is nice as I say, for me I'm not blown away and most of the appeal is just the novelty of doing a historical, somewhat legendary substance. Given the choice though I would choose diazepam, etizolam or phenibut over this, the former 2 of which I find the psychological effects to be more enjoyable, and the latter is probably on par psychologically but without the ridiculous physical messiness.
It's funny because I've had the same symptoms but I've measured my temperature many times and it was normal. Fever (more than 37.5°C/99.5°F) is the most common symptom and almost everybody seems to get it even if just for a couple of hours, I personally don't think it's covid-19 (in my case) but one has to be careful. Get a thermometer if you can.
In my case I think it has to do with some personal issues related to the quarantine and it could also be a form of acute withdrawal (more like a rebound) from using stimulants.
Heh, that's funny, actually I was and still am to some extent undecided if my case was the same as what you have put it down to. I've been combining low doses of amphetamine with kratom recently which is new for me, and during this period I was abstinent from everything, even caffeine, quarantined alone (previously had been staying with family), and while this had been kind of creeping up for a while the really pronounced badness did start just a day after doing a gram of ketamine for the first time in over 6 months - a substance that counter to all the talk about it's "antidepressant" effects, and counter to my own love for it, does always seem to make me depressed in the aftermath... that said, it does seem like the magnitude of the "badness" was far in excess of what I would expect for such "post drug blues", which I have a lot of experience with...
Whaaaaaa you have methaqualone? (For reference, Quaaludes are methaqualone, it's not an analogue, it's the real deal). You lucky mother fucker! I have always had it high up on my list of downers to try.
Lol yeah, have actually been sitting on it for years but only tried it recently, snapped it up as soon as I spotted it expecting it would be a rare opportunity. It's worth noting though I haven't had it independently tested, although I have no reason to suspect it's not legitimate, effects seem to match up, bitter taste, and I had a brief peruse of some drug-testing sites for instances of alleged methaqualone submitted for testing and none of them tested as anything else - so it seems to be not a widely faked substance, probably for obvious reasons. I should get it tested though, I think I will send some off to be tested along with a sample of the recent batch of supposed "etizolams" I got which are so obviously duds I didn't even consider taking any more of them in the depths of my GABA-desperation yesterday.
OT: Just 11mg racemic amphetamine so far today. Going to try to take it very easy and get something useful done.
Personally I am a fan of Wolf of Wall Street and also I was expecting more from quaaludes so was a little disappointed they didn't live up to the hype! Although I went up to 3/4 of the dose from that "rolling down the stairs" scene, and as I say there's definitely some truth to the physical sloppiness induced so I guess I can forgive a little cinematic license for the rest of it.
I also feel bad for people who don't have any nature to be in during this time.
