[Tr...] Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Could I use oil (say olive oil) as the solvent for my titration instead of Vodka? The Vodka somehow doesn't agree with me. I heard of a liquid form using Almond oil. So could I use olive oil instead to produce my own titration liquid? And how much would I need, the same as with Vodka: 1mg to 2 ml? Anyone who tried this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[bu...] Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Olive oil (or similar) is NOT a solvent, but can be used as a suspension agent. It can be used in any concentration, but it can NOT be diliuted with water. There are commercial pharma suspension agents (OraPlus/OraSweet) that are probably much better, and can be diluted 50/50 with water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Tr...] Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 Thanks, Builder. I should probably just don't worry about the alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(West Labs, that mfgrs Diazepam Intensol liquid, doesn't worry about its 19% alcohol content!) Or use propylene glycol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Re...] Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Per builder's suggestion, I am using propylene gycol (food grade, kosher, purchased from Amazon) to dissolve my Sertraline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[bu...] Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Thanks, Builder. I should probably just don't worry about the alcohol. Based on a current dose of 3.5mg (from your siggy)... If you took the entire dose from a a 1mg:2ml:8ml solution (.1mg=1ml) the max amount of alcohol you would ever take is .08 ozs. For reference, a standard cocktail/highball is about .7 ozs. So you wouldn't get enough booze in a week to make a standard drink. But PG works just as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Tr...] Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 Thanks again. I'm convinced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Tr...] Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 Sorry to say the Vodka doesn't agree with at all. From day one I felt terrible. Plus bad stomach pain. So it's back to dry cutting. Or would Pg be milder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
