EUPHORIA 101
By Scot Braken

It can be difficult to know exactly when Euphoria has fully subsided, as some users might still experience strong sexual urges many hours after ingesting the substance.

In between these “pleasure waves”, individuals may experience:

• drowsiness
• dizziness
• nausea and/or reduced appetite
• respiratory depression
• sweating/overheating
• tingling feeling in limbs
• eye discoloration
• muscle aches and pains
• higher blood pressure and heartbeat

Users “coming down” from a Euphoria high might experience a severe hangover effect, in which they feel:

• anxious
• irritable
• depressed
• exhausted
• mentally fatigued
• unable to concentrate/sleep

Other adverse side-effects of Euphoria can be potentially life-threatening. Consult a doctor if you experience any of the following:

• tachycardia (resting heart rate over 100 bpm)
• chest pain
• very high temperature
• high blood pressure
• delirium (out of character irrational behavior)
• nausea and vomiting
• convulsions
