Add to PsychonautWiki Journal
The PsychonautWiki Journal logging app doesn't include every substance. To track Flupirtine there, start adding an ingestion, search for the name, and choose to add it as a custom substance. Paste these values:
Flupirtine Source: SubstanceSearch (substancesearch.com) Oral dose (mg): threshold 50 Oral duration: onset 0.5-1h · come-up 0.5-1h · peak 1-2h · offset 4-6h · total 6-10h · after-effects 24h Note: ranges are harm-reduction guidance, not a prescription. Start low, go slow, and test your substances.
The app keeps custom substances simple, so the full dose ranges live in the description text above. Ranges are harm-reduction guidance, not a prescription.
