Harm Reduction OTC Stimulants, Finals Studying, and Sleep Deprivation (anything helps)

[ErgicMergic]

I am cramming for a final tomorrow, and I ingested 4 grams Green Malaysian Kratom 3 hours ago. I am buzzing along, with clean, focused energy. I prefer ephedrine to caffeine, but they have a nice synergy.

Should I take 12.5mg ephedrine every 4 hours? 25mg ephedrine every 6 hours? Should I pull an allnighter? Do 15 minutes naps here and there instead? How do I keep focused (damn you Bluelight and Erowid and Facebook)?

Would listening to music while studying help? Should I take double doses of B-vitamin complex?

I think redosing Kratom at +6hours from last ingestion would be helpful? What do you guys think?

Would taking my normal 25mg metoprolol (beta blocker once in the mornings) before the test block the epinephrine in my brain making the ephedrine/Kratom useless? Or does it only block it in the heart?

my only advice for you becourse i know you gonna do it anyway is watch the doses!, you dont want em to high, just a tiny bit to be more fresh, and taking to much ephedrine is no fun! and you cant counter it witch kratom without coming to wasted, i would take just enough of both to effect me minimum..

and i would defently get some sleep, that way you will have it much better to the exame and some good food to

beck of luck with the exames

I've always been a fan of 5 hour energy

Emingos, solid advice my man. Good food, some rest, and watching the doses is what I'll do. I think I'll redose Kratom in 30 minutes, and I'll add a tiny dose of ephedrine with it (12.5mg maybe?).

Iewed, iirc 5 hour energy is just caffeine with b-complex, I took a b-complex vitamin around 3pm, and I'm trying to stay away from caffeine. Too jittery compared to Kratom or Ephedrine

I'm wondering if I should skip my beta blocker in the morning. I don't care about tachycardia/blood pressure during the test, I just want lots of energy.

Ugh, I need to stop distracting myself.

Does ephedrine do anything other than keep you awake or does it actually impove focus?
Personally after using adderral to study for my exams years ago I won't study without it because not only does it provide the focus and motivation and energy tostudy for hours straight all night but I find that the things that I've studied actually stick better and I can remember and recall them better than studying without it. Other stimulants don't work this way, I've tried studying with Ritalin, coke and even E ( mostly meth probably) and none of them worked worth a shit other than being able to keep me up to study, adderral makes it stick so much better, but obviously u gotta b on it when u write the exam as well. I've since been switched to dex and I haven't tried studying on it since I'm not in school anymore but something tells me it won't work as good as adderral, I mean I know it practically the same thing but that particular mix of amp salts seems really well suited for studying

It improves focus in the same way that amphetamine does, to a wayyyy smaller extent. It's methamphetamine with a hydroxyl group, a structural methamphetamine analogue, which means only a tiny bit crosses in to the BBB, so it mostly keeps you awake with minimal CNS effects.

acetyl l-carnitine will be a magic bullet. i think they carry it at vitamin stores. better call ahead, i think its kinda rare.

I have used Ephedrine extensively for focus, weight loss, etc. It is a good stimulant. It doesn't cause any euphoria for me so there is no addiction element, and I can discontinue it after months of laddering up a tolerance without any noticeable impact.

I take it as ECA stack .. 25mg Ephedrine, 250mg Caffeine, 325mg Aspirin (your dose may vary) all three together synergize.

imho, pseudoephedrine is a decent stimulant.

It's not abusable. Don't even try to get high from it. It won't work. However, i put it's effects above those of coffee, and they last 6 - 12 hours for me. 60mg of Sudafed does the same thing than ritalin, minus the mental effects.

I don't mind taking it before work. It gives me a restless energy, it helps me keep my focus on a task from start to finish, and lots of physical energy.


i say it's about one twentieth the potency of meth in terms of physical stimulant effects.
