Hi all, I'm sorry I haven't posted in the new member section yet, but I'd figure that I would introduce myself with a question! I've been a lurker for quite awhile now but just now created an account. So sup?? :)

Anyways...

SWIM is not a very "experienced" druggy lol.. He's done a few opiates, weed, alcohol, all that good stuff. SWIM decided that he wanted to try a stimulant. He had no way of getting a script or anything off the street. But he had heard of a OTC called 'Benzedrex' aka Propylhexedrine. He researched it all over the web and finally decided he would try it. He has never had any experience with amphetamines (adderall), or really any other stimulant besides caffeine which does absolutely nothing, IMOSHO.. lol.. so he decided on benzedrex (I know, SWIMS an idiot. He picked up an inhaler from Rite Aid and brought it back home.

He opened the inhaler (which wasn't really that fucking hard....) cut the cotton up into 4 pieces, rolled it up with a piece of paper napkin and parachuted it with some Apple juice. About an hour later he was veeeerry euphoric. Cold chills and tingles were going through his head and into his body. His legs were completely relaxed. Great fucking time. It reminded SWIM of an opiate like buzz minus the tingling (maybe im confused :P).

SWIM layed awake all night basking in this glorious, euphoric feeling. Finally at about 10:00 the next day he began to come off. It wasn't a horrible come down like he had researched, but gentle. He felt i miiiild head ache but it faded away.

SWIM got showered and dressed and is feeling somewhat back to baseline except for HIIIGH blood pressure. He popped and advil and carried on.

Later that day he felt a huge chill and tingles start from his neck and spread over his head and sides of his face. It scared him for a minute then he just thought it was a comedown symptom. It faded away, but came back full force a few minutes later. It began coming and going, SWIM could push on his scalp and it felt like he left a handprint in his skull composed of tingles. The tingling was VERRRY intense.

He eventually decided he would just wait it out. It kept on throughout the whole day. High blood pressure and scary tingling, not euphoric tingling. He began looking online and about the only solution he could find was intracerebral hemorrhage. This scared SWIM shitless, but he realized he had none of the other symptoms but tingling and some memory loss.

Now he knows that Propylhexedrine is a vasoconstrictor and thought he might be having a mild stroke. He is confused as to what it might be and is wondering if he should even use propyl again, though he wants to. Any answers would be helpful thanks for reading the small book :P


HELP??
 
^^
first off, welcome to bluelight. we dont use SWIM here by the way as people will be quick to tell you.

benzedrex can be fun and bad. ive had a lot of good experiences with it, but after my last experience i dont think ill ever touch the stuff again. i did 2 inhalers, and literally felt like i was going to die since i consumed caffiene a few hours earlier and didnt think anything of it. i was puking in the toilet and if you've ever had violent puking from benzedrex you'll know what i'm talking about, the taste will haunt your dreams forever. especially when you think you've got it all out of your mouth and ur still gagging up more lavender oil and menthol...

i felt like my head was going to explode and i was going to have a heart attack and stroke at the same time. what i read online was to drink plenty of water, and to also do lots of stretches (i think someone said that it can help loosen up your vessels and ease the burden from the vasoconstrictive properties (sp?)). idk i think all the stretching i did and moving around seemed to help a little bit (light walking/moving around the apartment mind you, not running or jumping jacks lol)
 
Thanks and ok. :)

I am drinking TONS of water. I'll try stretches too. One other thing i forgot to mention is... >> well uh.. how long does erectile dysfunction last.. I've read a lot of shit that said uppers like this are good fun to have sex on but.. i can't even get up. my d*ck is shriveled and hard... im kinda nervous about that too... lol..
 
^^
lol dont worry that will go away with time once the drug fully wears off. having sex on stims is kinda like an art. if you take too many stims or are too new to stims u might not be able to get it up, or you might not be able to achieve orgasm, and if you do it might be slightly painful (not painful, but definitely not as good as normal). u kinda gotta get used to the way it feels first before you can take advantage of having sex on stims. smoking weed should help you out tho if you can't even get it up.
 
Good ol' Bennies! Well, to start off, the stuff has a different effect on everybody. Some people just get sicker than shit and others have a full-blown euphoric experience, similar to a low dose of methamphetamine. In my experience, the stuff IS worth it.. but only in small, infrequent doses. I wouldn't do it at work or anything like that. I've tried it, sure, I felt like freakin Hercules, but the fact that I was sweating a gallon a minute and my dilated pupils were dead giveaways.. Nobody else was really feeling hot, let alone sweating, so I believe I can safely assume that the stuff will significantly raise your blood pressure. Also, I know it's a pain in the ass waiting 12+ hours for the extraction methods, but it's probably for the best. Any time I've ingested the cotton, at least a couple days would go by before I'd finally force myself to make a bowel movement. As for sex, like Korn3x said, it's like an art. It's a combination of getting the perfect dose (not too much, not too little), having enough motivation, and making the right timing. Anyway, becareful with the stuff, don't do it too often, and keep it somewhat on the DL. It's one of the only euphoriants left on the shelves.

instead of passively waiting for the extraction to take place overnight, you can instead actively extract it by working the cotton with a fork by squeezing it against the sides of the glass that the lemon juice is in.

ive tried both methods, and each gives the exact same results. if you're going to actively extract it tho, cut it into 6 pieces (i find this is a good #, that way you don't get a few cotton strands down your throat when you're chugging the liquid; i'm actually almost gagging thinking about the taste, and if i dwell on it i literally could throw up, that's how bad the taste is if you ever experience having to throw it up. it never used to bother me too much before, but it really is true what people say about never doing it again after a bad experience), and make sure you spend extra time working the cotton pieces that are more darkly colored inside. you'll be able to know when you're done when the pieces have nil, to very little brown color left in them.

I did have a great experience. It was only the intense tingling the next day that worried me, because no other experiences reports I had read talked about recurring tingling, no freakin chills, the next day. By the way they finally did wear off today, but I'm still curious as to what that was all about. I'm wondering if for some reason that was my version of the flash migraine a lot of the people get... wierd..

I have an iron stomach, so parachuting the cottons left me no gastrointestinal problems except, a minor bowel backup (constipated for half a day lol), and parachuting left 0% taste. I have no idea what lavender tastes like thank god haha. Anyways thanks guys.
 
You don't have to censor yourself on Bluelight when you say words like "dick".

Just make sure to read through the BLUA and any applicable sub-forum rules to get a better understanding for what's expected from you as a member.
 
I also like going for a swim when I'm on stims, however you shouldn't use it in your posts.

Propylhexedrine is without a doubt, the dirtiest feeling stimulant I have ever done. If you like being completely tweaked out and feeling like shit it works, but if you want euphoric, gentle stimulation, I would stick with d-amp.

What you experienced is pretty average for propylhexedrine. I suppose the only thing I would suggest if you plan on repeating this experience is that you extract the drug into lemon juice or something instead of eating the cotton since it is hard on your digestive system and cah create a sort of "time release" effect which just makes hangovers killer.

I've read the rules more carefully now. Thank ya

Hmm, I might just try that. I didn't take into account a slower motabalization (is that a word? ;) ) It might be the reason why I experienced side effects for a full day afterward.
Hmm...

Did that included lingering pupil dilation? Seems to have happened to me every time, up to 24 hours after coming down.
 
@ chadanseba

"weird" is the correct spelling of the word. not wierd. i noticed you spelled it incorrectly several times and it just trips me out whenever i see it spelled wrong lol.
 
^Lack of capitalization while correcting spelling makes me chuckle. ;)

I think these effects sound like acute vasoconstriction resulting in high blood pressure and that it was severe enough for you that it would be unwise to take it again. You're classifying these as side effects since vasoconstriction isn't your goal, but you have to remember it is the primary purpose of this drug.

What is your normal BP and general health? Even with this information though we aren't really going to be able to help. All I can really recommend if you are going to take it is to try taking less.
 
You could try an opiate: codeine, dihydrocodeine, hydrocodone to help ease the comedown & apparent vasoconstrictive bullshit, as opes such as dihydro, hdro & even codeine have vasodilative effects, whcih is medically recognized as a benefit that outwighs the risk when it comes to people in an inch of their life

I took bad coke last night that was obviously maybe 5-10% cocaine & the rest speed & aneasthetics. My point is after suffering a 6 hour ( 7 am till 1pm ) comdown, crash, hangover, whatever you like to call it, 180 mg of codeine & 10 of valium toook away that 'maybe i need a medic' mentality.

All the best tho man & i've been curious about benzedrx for over a ear now... they used to selll otc in the u.k but i cant fing the shit. Bizzare when you consider a bottle of morphine syrup is very much availablehere in merry old england & in the u.s codeine on par with oxy & speed comes in the form of a decongestant. Shucks my Dear.

you can't be serious. If so I'm about to move to England and take showers in Morphine syrup.

I think Propylhexedrine is legal because it is just such a gross drug that I honestly can't imagine anyone becoming habituated to it.

My bad haha

Vasoconstriction in general doesn't concern me as much except for the stress on my heart, but cerebral vasoconstriction does. I really would like to not have a stroke ;) Umm.. and I really have no clue what my normal BP is 8) I will have to buy a monitor which I have neglected to do.

True, but actually if opiates were easy for me to obtain, I would most likely not be using this very unsafe stimulant haha. So I'm thinking I'm just gonna wait until I can get my hands on some benzos or opes before experimenting with this drug again (if i even do)
 
^^
have you given DXM a try yet? that ones always fun... lol.

i used to have some good times on it but the last time i did it the experience was very intense.
 
what I used to do to propylhexedrine to make it "better" to use was to do a chemical extraction to get rid of the lavender oil, then evap it and have powder to snort/ vaporize.

It acts more quickly when vaped, so it is somewhat better and doesn't last as long, and also a little psychedelic. I would not recommend doing that unless you have some decent chemistry knowledge and the proper tools though

I do think, however, that it is by far the safest way to use this drug.

I have 0% Chemistry knowledge and 0 tools haha. I would love to learn some of that stuff though. I'll eventually get around to it. =D

I was really thinking about giving propyl another go tommorrow but amapola scared me out of it saying it sounded like accute vasoconstriction. 8o oh well I've got better things to do then give myself a stroke.
