So today I experimented with propylhexedrine. I had done so on two other occasions about two years ago, with very unpleasant results. Those times I had cut up the cotton from the inhaler and eaten nit, and it led to very strong peripheral side effects and stomach weirdness.
This time I cut up the cotton from one 250mg inhaler, and put it in water that had 1/2 tsp of citric acid dissolved in it. I let it sit, stirring occasionally, for an hour or so. I decided I wanted to divide it into 5 50mg doses, so I had measured out, in an ice cube tray, 5 ice cubes worth of water. I put a drop of yellow food coloring in the solution also so alert me and anyone else that it was not, in fact, regular ice. I then put the solution back into the ice cube tray and let it freeze.
After a while, I decided to try a 50mg dose. Last time I tried 500mg the first time (working off a couple of sparse and misleading Erowid reports), with frightening hallucinations and delusions, and 250mg the second time, with extremely uncomfortable side effects. So I figured 50mg would be a good place to start. I put one of the 5 ice cubes in a glass of water and let it melt, and drank. It tasted like lavendar and methol, which was pretty nasty, but it was alright.
After about 30 minutes, I started to feel a lightness in my body, a faint and pleasant stimulation, without energy. I decided to take another ice cube (50mg), bringing mmy total to 100mg. Another 30 minutes went by, and I started to feel really damn good. My skin was very sensitive and I had a feeling running through my body that reminded me of MDMA, though not the same. So far it was 100% good, no discomfort or negativity at all. My wife and I started talking, and really opening up a whole lot about our past with each other. It just felt SO good to talk. I had a little bit of the nystagmus feeling of MDMA, but not to that extent. Physically I felt lazy but very good, especially in my skin. I took another 25mg and felt it prolong and perhaps increase a bit.
After a good couple of hours, I felt a minor "lossy" feeling, where I was coming down somewhat and the goodness was less. This compelled me to ingest another 75mg... if it sounds like a lot more, it's because it was. At the time it seemed like a great idea. After this dose kicked in, I began to feel more like I had earlier mentally, but physically the coming down side effects had already begun, namely, a fast heartbeat and a stimulated, cracked-out feeling that wasn't nearly as bad as withy most strong stimulants, but that still was something to deal with. I decided to make an exception with my kratom boycott to help the side effects. It worked somewhat, but less than I had hoped. But I still felt a good bit better (not that I ever felt bad, per se - it just had uncomfortable aspects). Throughout the side effects, I still felt very chatty and enjoyed talking, though less so than during the peak.
Then, for some unknown reason, I decided to ingest the remaining 50mg, for a total of the entire 250mg inhaler. Predictably, the side effects increased. I decided to try taking a half a shot of tequila to help me feel a little less cracked out. It worked better than I had expected. Throughout the course of two hours I took about 3 shots in half-shot increments. Generally 3 shots of liquor will make me feel all crappy and intoxicated, seeing as how I have no tolerance and my body dislikes alcohol. But today I barely felt the intoxicating effects. Rather, it merged with the propylhexedrine to add to the warm glow effect and the chattiness, and it reduced the side effects.
After a while, though, the side effects overwhelmed the alcohol, and the alcohol itself added an element of nastiness to the feeling that I can't explain, but it's the same nastiness that alcohol alone usually makes me feel. This all happened starting at 3pm, and I took the last dose at probably around 7... it's 4am now, and I'm still feeling that slightly unpleasant body weirdness and cracked-out feeling. I just took some valerian root, a large amount, and I'm going to try to sleep. Fortunately this substance seems to produce an almost lazy body feeling, rather than the amped-up energy of most strong stimulants.
Overall it was a good experience and I was pleasantly surprised. The peak was good indeed... some of the most direct drug-induced euphoria I've felt in quite some time.
