Report

T+00:00 - Time of ingestion: 13:20. Laying down in bed. So done with everything. Couldn't endure my online classes. Promethazine is supposed to have anxiolytic effects so hopefully I'll feel better in a few minutes. Gonna start rewatching the Queen's Gambit now. Will probably fall asleep because it is very sedating for me.

T+00:03 - Starting to feel warm inside. It's probably a placebo, I don't think it kicks in this fast.

T+00:05 - I was nauseous due to anxiety so hopefully this will suppress it.

T+00:20 - I'm tired.

T+00:35 - Still nauseous. My feet feel cold. The rest of my body feels warm.

T+01:00 - I ate some carrots and drank a Vitamin Well. Don't feel as tired anymore.

T+01:40 - Eating some nuts. I think my anxiety has been reduced and I'm not very tired which I find surprising since I was knocked out before by 50 mg.

T+02:20 - Slightly tired. Feel the warmness in my body.

T+04:10 - Very tired. Gonna try to take a nap.

T+05:10 - Got out of bed. Less tired now.

T+08:10 - I think the experience is over now. I believe it ended after about 6 hours.
