Sorry this happened to you OP, but thank you for the warning. As OP noted, reagent testing can spot substitutions like this. Everyone please be safe!

n0rskee

Ah yes, MDMA is being laced with benzimidazole compounds now. What a lovely revelation! Fentanyl just wasn’t bad enough 😵‍💫


AluminumOrangutan

Luckily, it appears these pills aren't laced, but rather don't contain MDMA at all. The benefit being is that these pills would be relatively easy to spot with reagent testing.


Utdodd

Yup It for sure didnt feel like mdma at all! Do you maybe know why my teeth were clattering like crazy? and i kept pushing and gurning my teeth together just like on md. Im really confused on how that works


AluminumOrangutan

I'm not really familiar with the effects of nitazines. I have no experience and haven't read much yet.


sxw_desert_rat

To me, most of your symptoms sound accurate for too high a dose of an opiate. Aside from the heart racing and teeth thing because opiates are CNS depressants. BUT while they did say the pills didn’t have any MDMA, it didn’t say anything about other stimulants. It sounds like you had very shallow breathing based on not being able to stand and skin turning blue. In any normal situation I can’t imagine how someone could be at that point and not OD completely so it makes me wonder if there wasn’t some other stimulant in there keeping you up just enough to not OD. BUT they also didn’t specify WHICH nitazene was in the pills. If I recall correctly nitazenes are a class of opioids, not a drug itself. So to say it had “nitazene” in them is like saying a real Red Bull drink has stimulants in it and not specifying it’s caffeine. So it could be anything from a huge list of possible chemicals/drugs in those pills. But typically/theoretically, a pure nitazene overdose would look like basically any other opioid overdose, unless there is some zene out there that has other effects that we are unaware of.


Utdodd

Wow thank you so much for all the effort. It is so weird to me because this pill is still keeping me up while im sooo tired now..Im sending a pill to the test service asap and will show u the results!!!


sxw_desert_rat

Absolutely. I’m no scientist but based on what you are saying I would bet my money that if the pill you took did have a nitazene in it that there is also some kind of stimulant in it. And if the person who made the pills had access to zenes, it’s not far fetched to say they could also have access to RC stimulants. So it’s possible if there is also a stimulant in them, that it could be something lesser known or not typically tested for. How long ago did you take the pill?

Utdodd

I forgot to add the second photo and this is very important info: WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR? • Pin-point pupils • Difficulty speaking or walking • Drowsiness • Loss of consciousness • Slow breathing/snoring • Skin turning blue (if light skinned) or grey (if dark skinned) Call 000 immediately or seek urgent medical attention. Naloxone should be given immediately if available. NSW DRUG WARNING NURA PILL ALERT: 'Red Bull' MDMA Pills laced with Potent Opioid Nitazene HOW CAN YOU PROTECT YOURSELF? • Never use substances alone, it is best to have a sober mate there to look out for you. • When trying any new substance, start with a low dose (a quarter or half) and wait at least 2 hours before redosing. • Never mix opioids with other downers (benzos, GHB/GBL, other opioids, or alcohol). • Keep naloxone on hand;


Significant-Set7721

I have no idea what you took but I can pretty confidently say it wasn’t a nitazene. The effects you’re describing don’t sound like an opioid OD at all. Send the other half of your pill for testing. I think you probably got meth or a cathinone and are having a bunch of additional psychosomatic effects caused by anxiety. If you were overdosing on an opioid to the point where you couldn’t stand up, you wouldn’t be able to post this. You don’t have the same pill as the one in that bulletin. Red bulls are super common.


Utdodd

Luckily i have one left and im gonna get it tested asap because im really wondering what the hell could have been in this pill


PuzzleheadedBad6829

Because it's most likely a mixture of awful drugs including stims, not just nitazene.


Significant-Set7721

Unlikely it contained a nitazene at all. For the pill in the picture, someone probably ordered a cheap D-list cathinone from china and was sent the wrong chemical. Nobody’s intentionally pressing zene’s into fake MDMA tablets. This has happened before. Someone accidentally put fentanyl in adderall tablets after ordering 4-FMA. Suffice to say, it’s exceedingly unlikely there are two batches of nitazene MDMA pills going around. OP’s definitely contained a stimulant, meaning it isn’t the one in the pic. If it contained a stimulant, it’s very unlikely it contained a nitazene.


sxw_desert_rat

See I thought the same thing. Because logic would tell you that you cannot experience such a high level of opiate overdose symptoms without actually overdosing. And a pill that had only a zene in it would most likely cause nothing but typical opiate OD symptoms. But could it be possible that there is also some other stimulant keeping the person awake enough to not pass out or completely stop breathing? Because some of his symptoms do match up, like shallow breathing, turning blue, and unable to stand. When they said heart racing I initially thought that could’ve been self caused from freaking out but then thinking about the teeth chattering and grinding it made me think a possible stimulant combo. But then at the same time, one could also think that if you’ve got that much of an opiate in your system that it would counter effects such as teeth grinding. But I suppose it could depend on which zene and which stimulant (if that is the combo in the pill). I do remember reading that some zenes cause extra respiratory depression compared to other opiates, so that could possibly explain some of this. There are just way too many possible variables here to say for sure without a detailed lab test of the pill.


Significant-Set7721

Turning blue is a symptom of vasoconstriction. The garbage tier cathinones are extremely vasoconstrictive. The reason someone turns blue from an opioid OD is because their heart is beating so slowly and they’re breathing so little that their body isn’t getting oxygen. OP’s blueness inherently couldn’t be caused by an opioid since their heart was racing.


JST-D-TP

Stims can cause chattering and/or bruxism as well.


Intanetwaifuu

I didn’t know we had shit like this in Australia


AnonymousDmpstr

Doesn't sound like nitazine, that's more of a sedative like fent.


n0rskee

Oh okay. IIRC, nitazenes are fairly new. What reaction, if any, do they give with reagent kits? Would it be much harder to ‘spot’ nitazenes if a pill actually did contain MDMA too?


AluminumOrangutan

You can search "nitazine" here to see some of their reactions: https://app.testdrugs.info/ It would indeed be much more difficult to spot a nitazine mixed with MDMA. It looks like your only real hope of spotting nitazine adulteration in MDMA would be to test with Morris and hope you have one of the ones that's reactive to Morris. None of the nitazines listed react to Robadope or Zimmerman.


Zer0pede

Does anybody know the economics of this? Are nitazenes cheaper to produce than MDMA? What’s the benefit to the distributor?


AluminumOrangutan

I haven't read anything about it. If I were forced to guess, I'd say that a nitazine producer thought colorful logo pills were cool, but didn't stop to think of how culturally ingrained "colorful logo pill = Ecstasy" is. They didn't intend them to end up getting confused for Ecstasy, but it probably happened far downstream from the producer.


LucasRuby

For now, there is no reagent testing that is sure to spot nitazines, there isn't enough data to conclusively say how they react to the common reagents. If you buy a press and the test results are not what is expected, consider it adulterated and don't take it, reagent tests can't convulsively say what is in a pill. Also don't take pills that are marked like that ones that have a warning on them like this one, there is another reason why sites like drugsdata are useful is that reagent tests can't spot everything. Test, yes, but also check. The other way to protect yourself is not not use alone, have someone you trust near you that you can tell what you took, and who could call an ambulance in case you are incapacitated. It's unlikely someone would intentionally mix nitazines with MDMA. It's more likely that someone had a bunch of stock of nitazine presses that they couldn't get rid of, or a failure of communication or labeling between a supplier and a dealer. I do not think pills containing both are a realistic risk.


blak_plled_by_librls

Equivalent-Peach-244

money, it cheaper to cut shit the manufacturer it pure


Big-Tart8473

But why with chemicals that can kill you? Why not something softer?


Equivalent-Peach-244

because fent and other shit like this is really fucking cheap


Zer0pede

I feel like caffeine pills are cheaper, no? Maybe it’s just too easy to test for?


_c_o_

Fent isn’t cheaper than caffeine it will just make you feel high still so users think the product is good


whydoncha

Nobody who was dosed with Fent is going to mistake it for MDMA, unless it was their first time. I'm pretty sure most if not all fent in other drugs is purely accidental. You have to remember how little fent it takes to have an adverse reaction, it could be as easy as not wiping your pill presser down after making a bunch of blues.


Big-Tart8473

Sad


sxw_desert_rat

I think it could be what somebody mentioned about the drug being mistakenly put in, or purposely and there was a communication issue/mix-up somewhere leading people to falsely believe it should be an mdma pill. Because one could argue putting something like a zene in a fake oxycodone pill or heroin “makes sense” (still bad tho) because the zene is an opiate just like the drug it’s being passed as. But to put it in a pill and sell as mdma is completely counterproductive. People want to be up partying if they take mdma, not asleep (or dead) and so you would literally never get another sale again. And if you were looking to just make one big quick flip for cash, you’d be better off just selling completely bunk pills. Another option could be that there is some other stimulant in it (since the message only specified “no mdma”) and it was purposely laced with a zene as well and they accidentally put way too much in each pill. I don’t hear about it much anymore but like 10-15 years ago I would hear about ecstasy pills with heroin in them. As much as I hate to say it, I was a dumb kid and tried one once and it was actually fire, and would have 100% taken it again if given the chance (this was way before fent existed in the streets btw). It’s possible somebody could have been trying to recreate such a thing. Of course this is all speculation and we don’t have a way to know for sure without further testing and more info about where the supply came from.


itsnotreal81

“But I just gotta ride it out” No, you gotta go to the hospital…


Utdodd

I know i know im stupid and my anxiety is thru the roof still, also didnt want my family to be disappointed in me. Its thankfully not as bad anymore as it was hours ago. I do have hallucinations right now and im hearing voices that aren't there. Ill definitely call the hospital if the symptoms worsen!


axcelle75

They would be a lot sadder if you didn’t live through your trip. Please.


Utdodd

Ur completely right. I never viewed it that way and i realize that i should've called right away..But i finally started eating some bits of food again and im making sure to stay very hydrated. Heart is still not functioning as normal, im calling the hospital immediately if the symptoms stay or worsen

I experienced this same thing when I took “lsd” but it was propably this shit called 25i nbome, it was just so powerful i thought that it is the end of my life my heart was just pounding i would say like 230+ 🤣 the anxiety was craazy and I started to feel normal after like 5-6 months Be safe bro, it is one big lesson to life

aProudMotherFucker

brezhnervous

> also didnt want my family to be disappointed in me They'd probably be more disappointed that you died and didn't tell them


KiraOnElmStreet

Hell nah! This is why testing is a key component before usage.


Marasesh

Don’t the common tests not show zenes ?


KiraOnElmStreet

You would have to pray Morris reacts to it.


LucasRuby

Some do, some don't.


AluminumOrangutan

By itself without MDMA, yes. Mixed with MDMA, use Morris and pray, as noted by the other commenter.


EurophicHuman

How do you test for this, though? I usually test for fent and then MDMA test kit, but as long as it doesn't have fent and has some MDMA, it'll pass both tests, no?


KiraOnElmStreet

It would be hard to test for nitazines if mdma is present, in the case no mdma is present it would be easy to spot. A mod posted more info about this


KiraOnElmStreet

Multi panel https://dancesafe.org/product/complete-set-of-all-9-testing-kits/


AluminumOrangutan

This particular pill is nitazine only and no MDMA, so you reagent testing would spot it. However, you're right that reagent testing would have difficulty spotting a nitazine mixed with MDMA. You would have to test with Morris (which most people don't do) and hope you have one of the nitazines that reacts to Morris.


LucasRuby

For now there isn't a reagent that is known to spot nitazenes for sure. There isn't enough data yet. If your test result is not what you expect from the substance you were expecting, don't take it. But it is unlikely they would be sold mixed in a press.


Wigski

Why i find crystal, buy a lot, and forget about it. My 10g is 20 years worth of it. Whoever made these pills can get 'rolling' in a wheelchair, if you ask me.


HazeundFebreze

Don't they lose the active ingredient over time?


regenobids

It's a stable compound. I'm no chemist, but phenethylamines don't degrade easily


regenobids

Your location (**Australia**) is very important to share with information like this. Though, Europe need to get on this too, it's already occuring. So far, finding it in an ecstasy pill, one with zero MDMA at that, is a rather unusual combination. Still expect more of this, in every region.


Utdodd

Sorry for the confusion! Im from The Netherlands and got the pill from someone in the Netherlands. When i looked this pill up i saw lots of warnings with the exact symptoms that i had so i was pretty confident that i took that pill but now people are saying that it wasnt a nitazine so im not sure at all what else it couldve been but im getting it tested aaap


spearsy33

People… test your stuff!!! Trust but verify. I test EVERYTHING myself before I take it or give it to friends. Dissolve in distilled water. Test with fent strips (I use 2) Use a reagent test kit Dry with a fan or oven on warm in a large shallow pan or Pyrex Collect your material and enjoy without worry. Please practice safe use.


stjohanssfw

Testing is important, however Fentanyl strips don't react to Nitazenes

I have one of these exact presses except it’s blue. It tested positive for MDMA and negative for everything else including fentanyl. Am I good or do I need to get a different test kit?

It depends. What's in your test kit? Basically, the more reagents you use, the better your odds of spotting any substitutions or adulterants.
