I used this for 7 weeks straight with only a few days off here and there. Spent several thousand dollars on the larger canisters. I have not experienced any numbness or tingling. I do have headaches. I tried explaining the headache sensation to a doctor friend. It's almost as if my brain feels like it's floating in my skull. It's not really vertigo but similar. Sometimes it's just sharp pain like a bad headache. My doctor friend said what I'm describing sounds like the same thing you experience when you're coming off of SSRIs or have a concussion. I haven't used it in 6 weeks and I've been taking supplements like B complex and B12 among others and getting B12 injections for the last 4 weeks at once a week. Again my body and limbs feel okay although I do sometimes feel like my arms and legs are really heavy. The brain thing is hard to describe and understand but what concerns me is my body is starting to feel better but I still get these weird headaches everyday. I used to never get headaches and now I do. I'm hoping in a few more weeks it starts to let out but it's actually pretty intense. If I eat really clean and healthy and get daily exercise is not nearly as bad so I do that. I would really like to know what kind of damage I gave myself from this crap. I'm just going to keep doing the right thing and say the heck away from it.
Also nitrous oxide uses quite prevalent especially in certain European and Asian countries millions of people use it annually and hundreds of thousands of people use it regularly. The fact that there's only been a couple hundred cases of extreme nerve damage in such a large sample size really goes to show how safe it is
Thank you for the video! Really good explanation! So in your opinion is abusing whip-it’s the problem? Is sparse use with b-12 supplements enough for safe recreational use? If not what can be done to do it safley/more safley? How much space should be between uses? Etc. Once again great video! But just try to remember these videos won’t end use and because of that spreading harm reduction is equally as important as sharing the risks.
You can use nitrous oxide on occasion and you'll probably never run into any problems, most of the nervous system damage comes from extreme abuse for multiple months, that's not to say there isn't a risk even using it occasionally can potentially cause problems, if you feel any tingling at all I would go get your blood checked. Also don't supplement B12 inject it intravenously if you do that you'll never be deficient no matter how much you abuse
@@thefluffychild4619 did you really just tell me to shoot up b12???? Like you had me in the first half being all team harm reduction and then you go off and tell someone with the profile name “some kid” to shoot up b12. Cause that’s not a recipe for disaster. You’re fucking dense and I hope this was a troll.
They give it to you at the dentist. As long as you don't overdo it you'll be fine. Doing it sober it's kind of lame though. For me it's best when I'm high on weed.
Don’t look for excuses it kills braincells every hit might not feel like it but my brother did it for 3 years and he can’t even think for himself and will never be able to live a normal life he destroyed his brain endless your doing it once a year your fucked
I unfortunately made the mistake of abusing this for a period of time. After stopping my whole body was weak.. never seeked medical attention just stopped and took b12 supplements. A year later still have numb feet what a mistake
Do u think getting those oxygen tank sold commercially at stores and using a spo2 monitor while using no2 is a good idea, using the pure 95% oxygen between no2 ingestions. Idk if it works but Ik regular air your oxygen levels drop from 97-98% to 80% so I’m going to trying buying one of those boost oxygen tanks and use that instead of regular air 20~%oxygen while the boost is commercialized at 95% pure oxygen so I’ll edit this comment to see what happens to my oxygen levels while using nos and pure boost oxygen
How long does it take the human body to rebuild the B12 or replenish the B12 that was oxidized during the nitrous use? This almost kind of reminds me of the serotonin depletion that people experience while using MDMA.
I don’t doubt the science here but there presumably a big difference between somebody who uses it regularly and someone who does it on occasion. How often do you have to abuse it for it to become a problem?
thank you for the info!! yes. very big topic since there are really no other legal drugs anymore. marijauana and alcohol are the only legal substances available unless you want to experiment with "unknown" pills and other illegal drugs. i work with high risk homeless population and they've been using this crap which is sold at multiple smoke shops all around the area or easily ordered online. and all these young people have anxiety and depression. I mean thank goodness they're NOT using fentanyl or vicodin... or xanax. but are whippits worse than the old prescription drugs like opiates or benzos in the long term???
As a biologist and was going for a neurologist at one point of my life. Nitrogen oxide is safe in moderation and if you use "whippets" take your b12 .... Also have access to natural oxygen
I don't entirely know the biochemistry behind it but if you're concerned about your B12 levels I just get them checked every couple months and worst case inject a B12 intravenously if you do that no matter how much you abuse nitrous you'll never be deficient
@@ninetyoner8506 yeah I guess so. I've been taking activated b12 before, after and during use of nitrous. Im not feeling the tingling. Then again I'm not a chemist or professional
@@saintessa activated b12 is the best type to take, especially if your going to be doing nitrous, I get the methyl b12s from GNC and they’ve done me good
In your professional opinion if I were to use whippets one time per month is it at all possible for me to develop any adverse health effects because based on the research I've done it doesn't seem to be the case that inconsistent use is dangerous
Don't get me wrong I get what you're saying and more public awareness needs to be brought up concerning B12 and nervous system damage caused by nitrous. But at the end of the day nitrous is a incredibly safe drug if only used on occasion.
To put things in perspective if you were to be put under for about 5 hours during a surgical intervention which many people are every year that would be the equivalent of over a thousand whippets in one day yet none of these people have problems because it all comes down to consistent use. use it once a month and you won't have any problems
@@thefluffychild4619 I run and workout every day and tried to go on a run the morning after and literally had to lay on the ground after a mile cause I couldn’t walk and felt terrible. Never had the happen before a day in my life lucky everything went back to normal the next day. Probably best to do it all one night and not even think about touching it for atleast a month. If you don’t workout you probably won’t notice but I run 5-10 miles a day and it most definitely messes with your vitamin levels.

That's what I'm wondering so I've been taking a b12 pill the day before and after I use them... Just in case?

Makes n2o all your stored b12 inactive? And can the inactive b12 can be active after some days?
I unfortunately made the mistake of abusing this for a period of time. After stopping my whole body was weak.. never seeked medical attention just stopped and took b12 supplements. A year later still have numb feet what a mistake
How long and how often?
Try folic acid or folate
Get b12 shots it's been 4 weeks my feet are almost better
Folic acid or folate for numbness
If you inject it intravenously you'll never be deficient
Thnx for the B12 info.

Hello I'd like to know if the damage is reversible? I feel numbness in my toes
Try b12 with folic acid or folate
Me too. But I also sit cross legged a lot which I notice it more. But sometimes I get it just from standing in one place
It’s reversible if you keep taking b12 and let it build in your body… as long as you keep nozzing your going to constantly lose b12

Yes it is possible. You would be mitigating damage this way. In one event you may oxidize 2-3 weeks of your reserve b12.
