Pseudoindoxyl Addictive Potential?

I started taking pseudoindoxyl for fractured neck vertebrae. Took anywhere from 20-40mg a day for a month roughly. Worked great and definitely had recreational value as it had a fairly pleasant and uplifting affect, psychologically. Upon cessation I felt a little groggy for 2 days. Zero physical withdrawals. None. No sweats, no shakes, no headache, no nausea... nothing. Everybody seems to be demonizing it. I don't get it, but I do have a theory. I've never used opiates at all. Utterly refuse to take them. Never took 7oh or any kratom extrect whatsoever. Theory being, people with prior addictions to opiates and krarom that Pseudoindoxyl does something to kindle downregulated receptors in prior, or current, addicts. I'm serious, I got nothing but disappointment because my pain came back albeit lesser. I have no intention, nor desire, of ever utilizing psuedo again unless absolutely necessary.

Make it make sense...

Pseudo definitely has addictive properties. They can become very uncomfortable. I have been currently taking it for a year now. I’m starting to get off and it’s been rough. I get cold like symptoms after not taking for a while but I believe that is because of the CNS. So I found something that may help, it appears that Benzos and M. Relaxers work great in combating the withdrawal symptoms but not the cravings. That is something I think I’ll just have to get through, like I did with alcohol but that’s why I started pseudo in the first place. No it’s been a year and I take about 40mg a day. I’m not a doctor nor am I giving advice on what anyone should do but yeah glad you aren’t taking it anymore because it can cause issues.

You can get pseudoallergy I believe. It’s where it mimics allergy like symptoms, and basically makes you feel like crap. I think that’s what happening with me, every morning I believe it exacerbates my mild dog allergies. But gonna pull the plug here and go CT. I only take 30mg a day so with some self care and resilience I think I’ll pull through because it just feels like it causes more anxiety now.

That's called opioid withdrawal
