- The compound (reportedly free base) was off-white in colour, and coarse/granular in appearance. It could be crushed into a finer powder with more of a floury consistency.
- It was sparingly soluble in ddh2o at both neutral and acid pHs, leading me to wonder if poor bioavailability was a factor in other people's negative experiences. The compound dissolved readily in 100% EtOH at room temperature, at just over 100 mg/ml. Solubility in lower % EtOH appeared poor, however once dissolved in 100%, the slow drop-wise addition of ddH2O allowed me to adjust the % EtOH down to ~85% before the compound began to precipitate. Rapid addition of ddH2O caused immediate precipitation even if EtOH was still >95%.
- In EtOH, oral effects remained similar, however sublingual adsorption became possible, with a 10-25% increase in effect size per dose, onset within 20 min, and a duration closer to 2 hr. The % EtOH was too harsh for the mouth, and so 1 ml ddh20 was placed under the tounge, followed by 1 ml of etaqualone EtOH solution. This was held in place for 5-10 min, then repeated until the desired effects were reached.
- Dosing this compound is very strange. I could achieve a nice high from 250 mg sublingual, but redosing (even while still high) was nearly impossible. Doses of 500-750 mg were consumed within 2-8 hrs after the initial effects disappeared, but only threshold effects were produced. In fact, it took 2-3 days before 250 mg would produce a similar high as the initial dose. As far as I'm aware, 1-2 hr is too short for the induction of any known tolerance mechanisms, leading me to wonder if a metabolite of Etaqualone is an antagonist of the drug's effects.
I've never just taken one xanax, one soma, or one of anything gabawise really....... I take that back!!!!!! One 750mg Placidyl was the bees kneez! Green beans!!!!!
