Side-effects of 2C-B?

[MrFister]

Hi bluelight, i recently tried 2c-b once this tuesday, and once yesterday (friday). I probably should have had a longer waiting period, but after both times i had huge muscle soreness and a splitting headache. I've looked on erowid and a few other sites, but i couldn't find any aftereffects or tolerance information. Can someone explain it to me?

First off: check out the 2C-B Aftereffects/Side Effects thread. You'll find a lot of other users' reports there and it's a good place to share your own.

I've never used 2C-B myself, although I have quite a bit of experience with 2C-I and 2C-E. A few general notes:

-As a research chemical, there really isn't much definitive/authoritative info out there. There haven't been extensive studies of the effects of use with 2Cs like there have been with, say, LSD. 2C-B got some studies in during the 70's but not a ton. Most of what you'll find is other users sharing their personal experiences.

-Headaches and muscle soreness are both quite common side effects of drugs in general, and particularly stimulants. 2Cs tend to be fairly stimulating.

-As for tolerance, that's a very complicated issue with psychedelics. It varies enormously from person to person, from compound to compound, etc. Tolerance probably played a role in diminishing your second trip a bit, but it's not typically associated with physical side effects, just a less intense trip. Certainly I wouldn't expect two doses within a few days to cause any significant side effects that one dose wouldn't have caused.

How much did you take each time? You use adjectives like 'huge' and 'splitting' so I'm guessing these side effects were pretty severe? Do you get similar side effects from any other drugs?

Its pretty severe, more like a migraine. And muscle soreness as in, almost like the day after a great workout. I'm not sure what the dosage was, i took a cap that i didnt measure myself. I'd say about 24 mg based on the effects. The 2nd trip took longer to come on, but i'd say it was actually MORE intense than my first.



EDIT: Oh, and i dont get any side effects similar to those from any other drugs i've taken. I've tried lsd around 5-6 times, mdma 15ish times, dxm once.
