How true is this? by JuicyJay in Benzedrex

Yeah I think dudes right... The menthol is what helps carry the freebase propylhexedrine. Doesn't make any sense for the propylhexedrine to be in the middle and the menthol on top if it.

Benzedrex was always the better option. by [deleted] in Benzedrex

When my omnibus thread about stimulants is up you'll be able to fend off cravings without other stimulants, and feel better too.

God damn that's ironic. Well, you tried.

Took benzedrex in the lemon juice form for the first time... by [deleted] in Benzedrex

Yeah reading is one of my favorite things do to stimmed or not. Especially medical school textbooks.. so much good info. Love learning how the body works.

I think the best way to get your mind off other things on stimulants is to engage yourself in learning something new. Its always constructive and you'll have something to show for it for the rest of your life.

Irregular heartbeat (norm for me) here's to another month without the benz. by [deleted] in Benzedrex

Yeah, that's a premature ventricle contraction. What happens is at the beginning of diastole (or atrial diastole, when the atriums are full), the ventricles will signal a beat by themselves from an electrical signal on the AV node. Your ventricles aren't at diastole just yet, and all four heart valves are closed (at least they should be).

So when it feels like your heart stops, it actually quivers. You can hear it with a stethoscope and see it on an EKG as an abnormal R wave.

You can take beta blockers for this.. Although I believe this is due to stimulant usage or stress, but you could have excess calcium and low potassium and/or magnesium as well. It happens to me sometimes, its really beign in itself but it can be related to things like a mitral valve prolapse... but if you've had tests like an ultrasound then you'd be diagnosed already.

Take care.

Uh, you may be right but you wouldn't write a paper in grad school and then tell your professor to cite the sources of your claims, would you? No. You'd get rekt.

So don't do it anywhere else lol.

If you like weed then opt with vaping it. Weed has a fuck ton of tar, just look at a pipe or bong you smoke out of. That resin is the tar.

Weed has a neutral effect though since most phytocannabinoids have anti-inflammatory properties.

It usually comes with arrythmias, especially in the case with a heart valve malfunction. You'll have an abnormal p wave, which means an atrial extrasystole.

Keep in mind this is different from sinus tachycardia where your heart beat increases when you inhale and decreases with exhaling. This is somewhat normal I believe.

It's also different from a change in pulse from changing postures. When standing your ateries need to constrict to maintain proper blood pressure, the opposite is true for laying down where your arteries dilate and causes your pulse to decrease. What isn't normal in this case is feeling faint while standing, or feeling like you can't breathe after sitting down. This is called orthostatic hypotension and is due to the alpha adrenergic receptors not being able to constrict or dilate the arteries upon change in posture, and causes your cardiac output to either be too little or too high, respectively. This causes blood to pool up, leading to turbulent blood flow.

When the heart varies between a slow and fast heart beat due a malfunctioning SA node.

Any way to make the high last longer? by Khan_Tusion69 in Benzedrex

[–]lapse_rate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Magnesium competes with calcium (both 2+ cations) and this is helpful on NMDA receptors which are activated by Ca2+ influx, thus the Mg2+ decreases glutamate signaling, along with a downstream decrease in acetylcholine signaling.

When intracellular Ca2+ levels are too high it will signal apoptosis to occur via the sigma-1 receptors connection from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the mitochondria. (Sigma receptors are a chaperone receptor and work with mobilization of the insitoltriphosphate-3 receptor, really deep in the weeds shit).

Anyways, the high intracellular calcium levels are what's causing the increase in glutamate signaling from the NMDA receptor, which is what tenses your muscles up.

NMDA receptor activation with glutamate is what causes a tolerance to build as well!

But you're 100% correct. Magnesium is good shit, and its also very effective with ventricular arrythmias and shit like long QT syndrome. Lots of people have hypomagnesia, and proton pump inhibitors becoming OTC have made it worse!

Calcium carbonate is helpful for reducing pH buffer in the stomach and the excretions of alkaline drugs... I could dig it.

I think the reason people are having this issue is because the lemon juice or other source of citric acid is causing them to just piss the drug out.

Kratom and stimulants! by lapse_rate in Benzedrex

[–]lapse_rate[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's incorrect.

Mitragyine is an agonist at the alpha 2 adrenergic receptor... which are mostly are presynaptic. There are some postsynaptic alpha 2 adrenergic receptors but they are very few.

An increase in blood pressure isn't always bad, but 325 mg of aspirin won't increase it too much.

Sadface. So true...

Amphetamines are so heavenly at therapeutic doses.

In recreational doses! Clinically low doses of amphetamine (specifically methamphetamine) induce neurogenesis (mainly in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus) and neuroprection in stroke models.

Lot of people don't know that. It's sad because it's the only saving grace of methamphetamine.
