Hi guys. This report will be about my first trip after 4 years of intermittent venlafaxine use.

I will tell about myself. I am from Russia and I write the text through a translator, so do not judge mistakes strictly. At the time when I first tried it, I was in school and was looking for a substance that could make me euphoric, to stop suffering from loneliness, but did not even suspect that he would become my faithful companion for several years, perhaps for all life.

It is not easy to get this drug here, but the one who seeks will find it. I didn't know anything about him then, for the first time I ate 4 tablets of 37.5 mg each and went to physical education. I don't remember whether there was any nausea, but the most interesting thing began when my classmate came up and offered to smoke a cigarette with him for two. I already felt in a good mood and felt a strange pleasant feeling in my stomach. (I will interrupt to say that I tried illegal substances for the first time only 4 years after that, because they are sold in my country only through the darknet. And even after I tried other substances, I still cannot get away from venlafaxine for more than a couple of weeks). So, having lit a cigarette, after the first breath, I felt such a powerful euphoria, which simply cannot be described in words. I just wanted to fall into the snow and smoke, flying through the clouds of buzz and the whole world around me seemed to be frozen in a gentle veil of warmth.

Then I remember that the school day was just awesome, when I returned home I realized how much I love my mother, after that I changed for the better for a long time, except that venlafaxine was slowly but surely incorporated into my life, like a new RAM in a board.

And now I will tell you in order what sensations arise when taking 75 mg once.
1) After some time, you feel a tickling neck, abdominal discomfort and nausea, which intensify over time and completely disappear 2-3 hours after taking the pill. At the same time, blood pressure rises slightly, blood vessels narrow, you feel cheerful, irritable, a desire to communicate and move, however, nausea can increase negative emotions, such as aggression, but not much. When the first unpleasant stage comes to an end and the level of the O-desmethylvenlafaxine metabolite rises, the second stage will begin.

2) Tension, nausea recede into the background, a clear MDMA-like euphoria appears, you really want to drink water and smoke and really do not want to eat. The pupils may dilate slightly, or very much. If you smoke, you will catch a burst that will forever consolidate the associative line between smoking and taking venlafaxine, since these sensations are very pleasant. Sexually pleasing.

3) If my nausea has passed, then I could take another 75-300 mg, nausea in 90% of cases will no longer be, but you have to be careful, the side effects will also intensify. If you receive more than 225mg per day, interesting visions with closed eyes, flights, dreams and "screenshots" can begin. When the dose is increased above 225 mg, slightly dissociative effects also appear, which is not very pleasant if I want to have fun in the company or jerk off for several hours in a row, wanting to catch the maximum of euphoria.
When the dose is increased above 225 mg, slightly dissociative effects also appear, which is not very pleasant if I want to have fun in the company or jerk off for several hours in a row, wanting to catch the maximum of euphoria.


The action time is subjectively about 24 hours (3-4 hours is the first stage of the stimulant, the rest is the high stage), that is, if you take it in the evening, you can feel the presence of yawning and the characteristic serotonin relaxation euphoria until the next evening.

About combinations:

The data below interactions include adding a second drug only 4 hours after a single use, or 2-3 hours after a second (catch-up), as well as at very low, threshold or below dosages
-Venlafaxine + Weed = Cool, but after the second stage, as the first increases the risk of paranoia and panic. Cumming during sex is 100 times easier. The euphoria is mutually reinforcing, but the gigginess is suppressed.
-Venlafaxine + Yohimbine = Dangerous, but cool if you're planning on having sex.
-Venlafaxine + tramadol = not a bad combination, but tramadol overrides the euphoria of venlafaxine
-Venlafaxine + alcohol = pointless
-Venlafaxine + Baclofen / GABA-B Stimulant = Not Bad
-Venlafaxine + any amphetamines and psychedelics and dissociatives = DO NOT! risk of death!
Be sure to drink vitamins, especially magnesium, take care of your health and cardiovascular system!
All of the above is just my personal experience and recommendations for harm reduction!
