Yopo just kicked my ass...

[pirat3]

wow...definitely underestimated these little seeds. just snorted about 2 seeds worth of snuff and it burned so bad... not to mention that the nausea was barely, and i mean barely, bearable. so, before i try yopo snuff again, i am making a list of things to do in preparation for my trip.

1. Acetaminophen for its basic analgesic properties (will help the headache yopo causes)
2. Pseudoephedrine (no open up my nose, lol)
3. Dimenhydrinate (to combat the nasua)
4. Some Caffeine pills (i'm not sure aobut this one. it would help combat the sedative effects of the yopo and the dimenhydrinate, but it would also raise my heart rate and i noticed that yopo did that on its own, so that might not be a good idea)

5. and here is my question. How do i make the pain bearable? Does Someone have a really good way of numbing the nose? Please don't say cocaine, lol.

Ps: this is my first post in ADD. BDD is my usual territory, but I am posting here because I know that a lot of RC`s burn like hell to insufflate, and I figured more people in ADD would have tried RC`s and learned to deal with the pain.

You learn to deal with pain by doing it more.

That's the only way.

^Even that doesnt work...

The pain is an essential part of the experience.

Honestly, I find that APAP sucks for analgesia. Naproxen or ibuprofen is probably a much better idea, and APAP will synergize with NSAIDs, so maybe take both.

Dimenhydrinate makes me and alot of other people I know feel 'off', sleepy, apathetic, or irritable. Maybe something you don't want while tripping balls. =P

A better anti-emetic is Meclizine, which is OTC and doesn't make you feel any different. It also works alot better for nausea than dimenhydrinate, IMO.

And, to be completely honest, the only thing I can think of that you might have easy access to to TOTALLY numb your nose(and body haha) would be ketamine.

This obviously would result in a tainted experience.

I've made my fair share of yopo snuffs. I've also smoked/insufflated/etc... the alkaloids that are contained in the seeds in a more concentrated form.

I much prefer the latter

Snorting Yopo burns like nothing else I've tried, even worse than 2c-*'s

It's not really worth it imo, the large amount of nausea, unbearable pain and huge amounts required to achieve any worthwhile high make it a pretty pointless drug...

Since you mentioned coke as a joke, don't you have access to another local anesthetic? Like lidocaine? Supposedly lidocaine burns a lot too, but that's only for a few seconds. Diphenhydramine is also a local anesthetic, it's used in conjunction with alkalis as an anesthetic in candy tablets for sore throat, at 5mg doses. Maybe you could make an anesthetic nose spray out of a diphenhydramine pill. But I don't know if it will be powerful enough.

For the nausea, I'd bet some pot would be a great help and would make the whole experience better as well, although more on the recreational side.

I've never snorted yopo. It may be the traditional way, but I usually care too much for my nose to bother ever trying. Smoking it has given me definite effects, and I'm sure I could have taken then much further but have been stopped by it's side effects (dysphoria, nausea, headache, sensation of burning on my face, etc). Usually one or two big and long tokes from two ground up and dried up seeds would get me a mild trip for over an hour. At first it's very harsh, you have to start toking very lightly and hold your cough reflex.
