i totally agree with some posters. leave these medications for people who actually have ADD/ADHD. all the abusers are doing is making it harder for people like myself to get adequate help for school, work, and life.
You should first try to convince drunk drivers not to drive, paedophiles not to abuse children, subscribers to religion to recant, children to "just grow up", etc.
Once you have succeeded in all of the above, please then return to rant against substance abuse.
Because whilst you're attempting to change the nature of humanity armed only with your 'opinion' [hey, good luck with that!]...it is an individual's inalienable right to do whatever the f he or she wishes to do, so long as exercising their individual liberty does not negatively impact upon others.
The fact that you think substance 'abuse' and denial of medical assistance to the needy are justifiably correlated, only proves that you are an imbecile. If the government introduced blanket Prohibition on automobiles tomorrow because some people cannot drive responsibly - that would be a more valid argument than the one used to Prohibit or restrict access to medication.
I'm quite sure you're not bright enough to work out
why banning automobiles would be a more 'valid' Prohibition, but I'll let you see if you can solve that 'puzzle'.
on a slightly unrelated topic
if i was on a script for ritalin/dexedrine
would it be hardwork getting a script for benzo's?
valium or xanax preferably..
(bearing in mind i hail from Australia...)
Diazepam is fairly easy to acquire in Australia. Alprazolam is much trickier. I'm sure whomever is giving you your Rit/Dex scripts will get / give you a Valium script. But to get Xanax, you're going to need to find either:
a) an incompetent psychiatrist
b) an immoral psychiatrist
c) an empathetic psychiatrist
c) is easiest - obviously. Convince them you are dependant on Alprazolam [my friend explained he'd been living in Philippines for a year and his docs had been casually writing him Xanax scripts as if they were multivitamins and he'd just arrived home and was starting to freak the f out] and I
think they're obligated to give you a script as you can die from benzo withdrawal.
The bit about dying from benzo withdrawals is one reason why you shouldn't really be flippant about benzos in general. But Xanax in particular is shit my friend rarely fucks with [after taking them every day for a couple of years, during which time he was probably the leading unpaid / unauthorised marketing salesman for Sun Pharmaceuticals]. He said it's simply too good to screw around with or waste [in the sense you build up resistance incredibly fast].
He was shipping his mates parcels of benzo joy for years from o/s - but Customs have completely cracked down on it. His last dozen or so shipments were delivered. Opened. And emptied.
I've never done crack but surely the comedown from Ritalin can't be as bad?
Discussing comedown intensity is akin to arguing the length of a piece of hypothetical string. A friend of mine hasn't had a comedown in 4-5 years after suffering the worst comedowns probably possible [that don't result in the obvious].
----------
Back on topic, I have pretty bad ADHD and whilst Desoxyn is basically god for treating it, Strattera [non-stimulant] definitely helps. Stimulants [caffeine even] make me jittery. I've tried Ritalin and Concerta and hated them both. Haven't yet tried Adderall but am assured that it's somehow superior [even though it's also a stimulant, obviously].
I say this because I searched for this thread and decided to register for Bluelight after boredom overpowered my reservations to snorting the unused Ritalin my doc insists on prescribing me.
I'm 40 min and 2 x 10mg Ritalin in... I have a mild headache. I don't really feel
any clarity - at least, not compared to Desoxyn [
]. I feel very close to zero euphoria whatsoever. I note that I am rambling, however...so I guess it's 'working'.
But doing lines of Ritalin seems like a pretty colossal Fail from where I'm sitting.
