Perhaps this was an idiosyncratic reaction?
I myself have taken MXP at doses up to just short of 300mg (IV, at which point, this dosage level has definitely produced some INTENSE holes) and diphenidine at up to 3g spaced over two days, without noting any negatives, aside from the extremely poor solubility of diphenidine in H2O, making 5ml barrels needed if one is going to shoot this without turning into a pincushion.
In contrast to the nasty experience related by dr.dissociative, I've found these to be quite benign and forgiving compounds.
Or perhaps its me thats reacting strangely to them, but thus far I have found absolutely no negative side effects from it, save only once from diphenidine, and that being some mere trifling discomfort upon intranasal administration of a wee pinch or two up the nose whilst on my way home from buying the diphenidine, a low, low dose for me.
Took a nice long scenic walk home after the metro tram system serving my city was down for some sort of repair/renovation work, had to get a replacement bus service, and couldn't for the life of me find the point to get the replacement service home, so had to buy another ticket and get part of the way, then take a shortcut through a nice quiet suburb area.
Gave a nice sparkle to my otherwise stress of a trip home
Been doing diphenidine, and when its available, MXP (awful name, but its being sold as branded 'pellets' labelled 'MXP', containing 145mg per 'pellet' unit. Now in some (UK) head shops [I'll say nothing more precise than 'sold in some shops'] so I guess we are stuck with the name now. MXP and diphenidine both have been flying off the shelves faster than food aid in a gaza slum after a hash oil airstrike, but especially the MXP)
Those who say its shallow, and doesn't seem to produce a hole, at any dose, let me confirm, that it can be anything but shallow, and certainly does not lack the capacity to produce one heck of a hole. IV use seems to me, to be the best way with this one(MXP seems the more suited to this than diphenidine, due to the respectable solubility of MXP compared to that big lipophilic oilslick that is diphenidine)
I've been doing these on the weekends, and every other week come payday, I've recently been going through 3-4g over the weekend (I.V) and had some pretty amazing experiences.
Aside from MK-801 SAR, I think one could extrapolate much from the SAR of the parent compound, lefetamine.
I suspect these may well have some opioid activity, a more likely property in these, than in the arylcyclohexylamines, as was thought to be the case for some of them at one point. Lefetamine itself IS an opioid agonist, on a par with codeine apparently.
I suspect that diphenidine might make a fairly decent detox aid actually, in several respects for opioid users.
One reason of course being the NMDAr antagonism, which is known to reduce/lower development of MOR agonist tolerance, theres some decent stimulant activity, especially in diphenidine IMO, and if there is mild to moderate opioid activity present, then that would help lessen withdrawals also, to something easy to taper off on just the diphenidine/MXP.
Plus diphenidine hangs around, and I mean REALLY hangs around. I've felt the effects of those 3g sessions for a week and a half, week and three quarters almost afterwards, not full dissociation, just great mood lift, afterglow. And I suspect that one or the other of these two may well be more potent opioids than lefetamine itself. I'm a chronic pain patient, not looking to taper, or quit my opioid use, as whilst I do use recreationally, certainly, I still need them to get around without pain.
Currently taking a minimum of 90-120mg IV morphine and 20 of oxy twice to three times a day, yet I was able to almost totally suspend use of the opioids without experiencing withdrawal, and of course, no amount of codeine can stand up to that.
IMO there is much more to MXP and diphenidine than at first meets the eye.
Fucking love 'em so far.
First time I did MXP, I ended up in hell, literally, but not as a suffering soul in purgatory, type experience, but more like an anthropologist, out there to study the hades-native ecosystems.
Fucked up weird, but amazing nevertheless. MXP/diphenidine have both holed me as hard as MXE/4-MeO-PCP/ket ever have, and then some.
