Will cayenne pepper capsules or aspirin help with vasoconstrictor?

Even worth it? What are signs of needing vasodilation. Just wanna be safe when using amps/adderall from time to time.
 
Aspirin won't help at all. Forget that. Cayenne - I have heard anecdotal reports but not read any papers on it's vasodilating properties.

Vasoconstriction causes cold hands/feet, sometimes they can look blueish or purple. Amphetamines aren't the most potent vasoconstrictors out there (although they will do it) - cocaine is much worse. Really, it isn't something you can do much about - take less, if it is an issue, and of course if you are really concerned then get yourself some medical attention ASAP
 
Not in this context, not enough to make a difference.. it's great if you have a heart attack and your platelets all clump round to make the clot, as it is a platelet inhibitor, but I don't think it would make a difference here.

If you want to try, go ahead - I don't advocate daily aspirin use at all unless your doctor prescribes it, as it can be bad for your stomach and cause GI bleeds, but as a one off it shouldn't hurt. I don't see it making any difference though.
 
It's best not to try and medicate yourself, playing around with blood pressure, vasodilation etc. is rather unnecessary (and possibly dangerous) unless you actually have health problems arising from the vasoconstriction.
 
numb cold hands and feet, pins and needles. used to get it quite bad from Mephedrone
 
Well, cayenne pepper doesn't actually dilate blood vessels, but it does prompt the heart to pump more blood, stimulating blood flow. Naturally, this would cause your blood vessels to expand, but if they're being constricted because of amphetamines, other complications may arise.

So no, I wouldn't recommend cayenne pepper until the amphetamines have worn off considerably, so your blood vessels aren't under too much strain.

A couple hits of weed may actually help because marijuana is a certified vasodilator.

But then again, mixing weed + amphetamines causes undesirable effects for some people, so your best option might just be to wait it out

:)
 
Overall I think it is a bad idea in general to attempt to self-medicate amphetamine-induced vasoconstriction. If it is bad enough that you feel you need treatment, get some medical attention - otherwise decrease your dose to a level that is comfortable for you.
