Just wanted to post this because there's minimal stuff I've found here about potassium nitrite, and less documenting attempts. my goal is to analyse why my attempt failed and learn from that.
My regimen is different due to health issues I have, so this is not advice. Meto does not work for me due to delayed stomach emptying which I took it for for a long time, which it helped little. I also suffer from low blood sugar and nausea after a few hours fasting, which complicates the preparation for an attempt. So I also hope this is useful to anyone who might have the same issues, but again, not advice, I know very little about chemistry and pharamacology.
Attempt 1 was:
Fasting: around 8 hours? I restrict a lot so I was just doing that, lost track of how long I didn't eat for but was at least 8.
Anti-emetic: Zofran, which works well for me under normal circumstances, I will up the dose next time.
KN dosage: 25g
Benzo: Hastily crushed and drank remainder of what was allegedly Xanax, but was likely some other benzo I was sold.
Why it didn't work: I largely blame my health issues, mentioned above. I threw up pretty quick and did not take a second cup, didn't have more benzos or zofran at the time.
Effects: Minimal, compared to a previous SN failure where I kept it down longer. this was just severe fatigue, headache, vomiting, (dry heaving) shakes, fast heart rate, for about a day. I didn't go to the hospital or anything.
Current attempt plan:
Fasting: less, actually. I was nauseous going into the attempt last time, this time I'm fasting for less time and trying to find and ideal zone where my stomach is empty but I'm not hypoglycemic, will be utilizing glucose tabs if I am which will hopefully not interfere.
Anti-emetic: will still be zofran, but higher dose. 24mg probably is what my current research is pointing me towards.
benzo: ativan, less ideal but I cant get my hands on anything else rn. I can crush it and try to time it right so the slower onset is minimized and sedation is kicking in at the right time.
Dosage will stay the same, I don't think it was a problem the last time. If anything my concern was it could be high, which might be increasing the likelihood of vomiting when a lower dose could be still more than enough, but its slightly different from SN dosing so im playing it safe and using a larger dose than I might need.
Will be adding propranolol to the mix to potentiate this time, which I've read is debated on whether it actually increases the efficacy but I think decreasing the high heart rate and making me pass out sooner will help.
EDIT: to add a couple possible reasons I forgot about why my first attempt failed: mainly, benzo addiction making those less effective. It was also fairly impulsive. I could have been taking zofran throughout the day in much the same way meto regimens call for, but I moved my plan up a day because I was like "oh, I've been fasting, I have everything, why not now?" so yeah. that was dumb too.
