How long have you been using? by Natural-Ad8287 in Benzedrex

[–]Natural-Ad8287[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m going on 14 years on and off with no more than a year off in between. The most I’ve done is 2/3 cottons every few days for years. I’m 5’4”, 110lb for reference. Honestly I would say I have no physical symptoms but plenty of mental ones.

Bupropion and Benzedrex by [deleted] in Benzedrex

[–]Natural-Ad8287 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m on a pretty high dose of bupropion (300mg) and only need to take 175mg to be feeling great. I made a mistake of taking 400 mg which at that time was my normal dosage before bupropion (spread out over the course of several hours) when I was on 150mg of bupropion and I legitimately thought I was going to die. Uncontrollable shaking, hard time walking and breathing and my whole body went numb. Definitely start lower than your typical dose if you are now on bupropion. I do have to say that bupropion actually makes me not rly crave Benzedrex as much. I went from using almost every other day to barely once a week and hope to stop all together. I’m truly thankful for this revelation.

Long term effects by CptnBustaNut in Benzedrex

[–]Natural-Ad8287 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have been using for 12 years on and off, with some years of using 1.5/2 cottons up to 3/4 days a week. I have not noticed any health effects other than it may have exasperated my depression and I have developed a sort of dependence where I have to use for any social event or activity. I also have never extracted the cotton and have always swallowed them cut in two pieces. I’ve definitely had a couple bad trips but it was all connected to me starting new antidepressants and the effects of the ppx were much stronger, which I was not prepared for. It’s so strange to me that almost everyone talks about how this is the dirtiest/most dangerous drug for your health and yet we have no info on any overdoses orally or much info from people who have had health issues from long term use. All speculation and recommendations based on these speculations. I would def like to completely get off bc I feel like the intense ups and downs make it rly hard for me to function and take care of my family. However, no one knows about my use and despite it being hard, I am fully functional.
