iraq is wack
So after reading many reports about these on BL and Erowid, I decided it was time to break this plane of sobriety I've been living on for about 9 months. Not by choice of course, but because I've been melting away in Iraq since August. I ordered five inhalers off of an online drugstore and the waiting began.

After only about 8 days, I checked the shipping status and to my excitement, these little guys were finally here. I walked over to the mail room, a little nervous, thinking about an excuse to use if I was asked about the package, but like always, the druggie paranoia was short lived and they handed me my package with no discussion.

History: I'm a pretty healthy 22 yo male, with lots of substance experience, spanning from prescription painkillers to lsd. I abused adderall pretty badly while I was in college, but stimulants have never been my drug of choice. I find they make me really weird, and the comedowns are unbearable. However, I needed something fun to pass the time, so here we go.

3:45pm- I look at this little bullet and wonder for a second how I'm supposed to get the cotton out. I get out my army issued Gerber tool (I always love using army stuff to do drugs with. I always use my military ID to cut up coke, haha I don't really know why, irony maybe?) I foolishly try to cut right through the thing, but it's solid metal. So I unscrew the cap and crush the tip with my pliers, plastic shards fly everywhere, and I see the little stimulant tampon. The smell hits me and is quite disgusting, I almost gag thinking about having to swallow this thing. Without hesitation, I rip it in half and put the first half on my tongue, washing it right down with some grapefruit juice. Do the same thing to the next one and now we wait.

Note: Grapefruit juice seems to be the way to go with this method, as I didn't taste any of the disgusting lavender and menthol burps I hear so much about.

The times aren't exact, as I'm writing this all post trip.

3:50pm- I start getting pretty excited thinking about the day's events to come, I'm sure it's placebo. Also I remember I have some zantac (heartburn medication) so I take one, thinking this should help with any stomach discomfort, and luckily it does, as I don't feel any kind of upset stomach until a few hours later.

4:20pm- I start feeling a little bit excitable. I download Cage's new LP and listen to it, having anticipated it's release for a very long time, but I'm a little dissappointed, especially since music usually sounds great to me on stimulants.

4:45pm- It starts hitting me HARD. The body tingles are amazing. I'm talking to a friend on facebook, while simultaneously sending messages left and right to people. I write a very profound "about me" on my profile, something I love to do when I'm tweaked, even though I know no one reads those.

4:50pm- Music sounds amazing! I don't feel like giving Cage another shot, because I feel like listening to something upbeat and happy. Peter Bjorn and John, Friendly Fires, and MGMT are making my life an amazing party right now, even though I'm sitting alone in my room.

4:55pm- I get very excited about my future. I start looking for roommates on craigslist near the college I'm transferring to when I get home. The possibilities of this new beginning seem endless, and I'm no longer thinking about how horrible being in Iraq is, even though I've been very down lately because I voluntarily extended my time here by 3 months because I needed the money.

5:15pm- My internet shuts off and I'm distraught for 3 seconds at most. I throw on the ipod and begin cleaning the FUCK out of my room. Its even more fun than socializing.

5:45pm- I realize I haven't eaten since about 12:30, and I'm not hungry at all, but I force down a big protein shake. It upsets my stomach just a little bit.

6:30pm- Inevitably, the fun begins to fade a bit. I consider taking another one, but I know that is a bad idea, so I just make some coffee instead.

6:45pm- The caffeine kicks on the effects a little longer, nice body tingles, and I listen to Bright Eyes- Digital Ash in a Digital Urn, my favorite cd of all time, and the euphoria begins to again pulsate through my brain.

7:15pm- I don't want to talk to anyone at all anymore. I'm a little irritable and begin to wonder if I even want to go back to school. I realize this is NOT me talking. I do a little unnecessary organizing to get my mind off the comedown and it works a bit.

7:45pm- My stomach begins to feel very "grumbly". I eat some oatmeal and take another zantac. My body temp is fluctuating and I can't seem to get comfortable, so I make myself to a light stretching routine to try to get the brain power pumping a little bit. I see the inhalers and decide to take a couple hits of it the prescribed way. WOW, the next time I'm congested, these are exactly what I'm turning to, clears my sinuses right up, and I feel a little happier.

8:30pm- I take a benadryl, knowing its gonna be tough to sleep, and begin typing this report. The effects of the propyl haven't completely worn off, but for the most part, I'm back at baseline. I honestly don't feel too bad, although I did only take one, and my natural mindset was in a pretty good place before I started, which helps tremendously. I'm a little sick of music at this point, so sportscenter goes on, and I begin to feel pretty normal again.

Overall, this was a pretty fun day. I wouldn't do much differently, except maybe wait until I had a day where I actually had things to do. This was my off day so I just sat in my room all day and felt kinda like a shut in crackhead by the end of it all. I wouldn't really suggest this as a study/writing drug like adderall because I was pretty scatterbrained throughout the whole trip. I couldn't type very well, and tasks that took more than 30 seconds to complete were really hard to finish. Physically, there weren't many negative side effects, contrary to what I've read. This could be because of a large lunch, the heartburn meds, the grapefruit chaser, and the force feeding later in the day.

I will definitely do this again, although I think I'll wait until my kratom tea that I ordered arrives. I think that combo will be pretty swell, and help with the comedown. I'll let everyone know what happens.

Thanks for reading, sorry for the long, mostly uneventful report....lets hear some responses.

Great music choice, that is one damn great album by Bright Eyes.

I am surprised it only lasted for what, 4 or 5 hours? When I ate one inhaler's worth of propylhexedrine, I was high for 12 hours straight including the skin sensations.
 
12 hours? Hmm, I'm a fairly big guy, 200 lbs, so maybe that had something to do with it. Also, I hadn't eaten for a couple hours.

Today (about 14 hours later) I was still a little irritable. Didn't want to listen to music or eat really. Kinda felt like an mdma hangover. I was definitely surprised that the effects were so profound. I've got 4 left so I can't wait to try this out again.

One last note: I usually shit about 3 times a day, however today, there was nothing. So I'm a little worried about that. Maybe the cotton causes an obstruction?

Thanks for the props on the music, thats an amazing album.
 
Eating the cotton is a bad idea, as can can cause intestinal obstruction.
However, I am guessing that you ate a great deal less than usual, so I wouldn't worry yet.

I find that while the good part of the intoxication will last 4-5 hours, adrenergic side-effects will require a great deal longer to trail off.

LOL I can DEFINITELY identify with some of what you said--being distraught about the internet shutting off, writing "About Me" thing on Myspace, etc.

Remember that "just one" inhaler contains 250 mg. of propyl, which is meant to be inhaled in microgram doses, not orally ingested all at once. When it was prescribed as a diet aid in Europe (as "Eventin"), propyl was prescribed in doses not exceeding 25 mg., so one inhaler could actually be an overdose.

It's also not necessary to eat the cotton, and not doing so will cut down GREATLY on stomach discomfort. Just soak the cotton in a lemon juice/water mixture and sip. Very effective and simple to do. No chemistry degree required. :)

Good report.
 
Thanks for the replies. I'll try not to eat the cotton again, but theres no where around here to get lemon juice. Is there any other extraction method?

A little update:

I ate another one today at about 12:30pm. This day was a little different because even though I had today off, I had a couple things to get done.

While I was taking a shower, I could feel myself coming up, which was a fantastic feeling in a hot shower, very sensually stimulating. On the walk from my shower back to my room, which is about a 75 meter walk, I felt literally INVINCIBLE. It was at least 110 degrees outside, the sun was beaming down hard, however I felt like I was at the perfect temperature and really wanted to go for a run. I chose not to of course because I most likely would have died from heat stroke.

So basically I just want to warn people "DO NOT WORK OUT ON THIS STUFF, YOU WON"T KNOW WHEN TO STOP" This is probably one of the biggest dangers I've noticed.

I got a haircut around 2pm and it was also a great experience. Try this out if you get short haircuts.

Also one more negative, like aderall, I get complete limp dick syndrome. So I wouldn't advise taking it if you know youre going to get laid later, because you might leave a bad impression.

Hell, I've even used just plain water to extract...doesn't taste so good, but it does work.

If you don't have lemons, use soda (Coke, Pepsi, etc.), lime juice, Country Time Lemonade powder (lol), Kool-Aid, Vitamin C or anything else acidic. With the lemon/lime juice in the mix, it actually smells and tastes GOOD.
 
Fuck, you stuck the inhaler straight in your mouth, that is hardcore! Sounds like you had fun. Next time, just pull the little part that goes in your nose out, it comes off easily.

I was pleased with this stuff. I probably won't ever dose on it again, tho. I did it a second(and last) time, and it hardly had any effect. That was with two inhalers, and a good week between doses. And yes, it makes you very scatterbrained. I was doing like 10 things at once, jumping back and forth between projects. haha.
