Urgent question about N

[tryingtoescape]

Are bubbles at the surface of N normal? In a brand new, sealed bottle. Small bubbles at the surface of the liquid and some very small ones lower down, but seemingly no sediment or cloudy appearance. I have had a humidifier in my room for hours and hours at a high, warm setting that my doctor told me to use 2 weeks ago due to a severe vocal cord disorder. It was only pointed in my direction but my room is not that big. I've obviously removed it now. I I'm afraid this is has caused degradation. Humidity is the exact thing N shouldn't be exposed to. I do not know what the N looked like before the humidifier use, because I didn't open the box.

Don't bubbles indicate air has entered the container? I have read some people on here saying bubbles indicate N has begun chemical breakdown. I am very afraid. My room also becomes very humid in the summer which I normally wouldn't be as worried about, but if my humidifier caused some degradation, I am very worried about that, because then it will only rapidly continue.

Having to spend more money would be so hard to afford. But I can't take a risk. I'm concerned that if I do it will happen again, because my home is very humid, not just in the summer. It's just the area I live in. I'm so terrified. My physical health problems are so agonizing and I'm desperate! I'm losing my mind.

Probably should invest in a Barbiturate test kit to verify for yourself.

If I had to guess, it'll be fine for a bit, but it's likely starting to degrade from the humidifier.

Thanks, I think the test kit might not help because it doesn't measure the potency, only the presence.

i checked mines and they had one small bubble at the top. I gave both of them a shake and this created lots of small bottles at the top.

Thank you for checking

Oh oops, for some reason I was under the impression some of those tests could measure potency as well. My bad!

Would anyone mind checking? You can pm if you'd rather. I'm actually vomiting since yesterday and today because I am so anxious about this. I just woke up because I could not sleep even with meds and took 3x the dose just to get some sleep. I'm going insane and I'm so terrified, especially because I have a GABA tolerance, my area gets humid sometimes so this could cause more breakdown of potency, and if I can't use these, that this could even occur in new bottles. I'm in a state of 9/10 fear because all I want is to escape my 24/7 physical suffering.

I've gotten rid of the humidifier, but it was on the highest, warm setting. Pointed at me but my Dr told me it fills the air and I don't know if he meant the entire small room.

Please, can someone either check theirs to see if similar little bubbles exist at the surface or even, if you have a good grasp on chemical knowledge, provide scientific information on what might be causing this.

You can pm me if you feel more comfortable. I appreciate anyone who can take a look at theirs

Afraid. I also noticed what looks like very slight precipitation in one spot at the top.

If this is actual N, recently acquired, and in a sealed, unopened bottle, then humidity won't affect it although you do want to keep it at room temperature. Where did you get the email address you used to order it?
