The EADD a trifle annoyed thread v. I bet that smarts a bit

[mydrugbuddy]

I bought a rear tire for one of my bikes two weeks ago. From a friends bike shop. Expensive tire, a Dunlop, $125.

Looked a little old when I took delivery, but he told me it was just over a year on the shelf.

Blew out on a busy road yesterday, could have killed me. Sidewalls failed. Dry rot. Checked the date code and its seven fucking years old. Said "friend" has not even offered an apology and is doing his utmost to avoid refunding me or providing a decent replacement.

Feel like burning his fucking shop down.

You must be in the US? Do you have any big well known consumer affairs tv shows like we have "Watch Dog" and "Rogue Traders", businesses over here have been known to change their tune pretty quickly once people start mentioning things like that, even "local press" might have an effect.

No offence dan but i smoke crack regular u ever tried it? Its v potent but ur meth was SR right guarentee its cut/low grade meth cos real strong meth aint smooth its way beyound potent just a matchstick head or more. Its paro jittery trembling hands tachardia for 3/4 hours

Nah not tried crack. The meth i had a lil toot on felt wirey but smooth, euphoric, made me tingle all over. The way i like it. No edge. I'd rather that than paro jittery trembling hands, sounds shite,

Hmm.. when I chatted with the other partaker of that meth, he said it wasn't great.. certainly not pure.

Good enough for a freebee tbh. i was flying off it, although it was ontop of other stuff as well

You're talking bollocks. Don't project your experience onto the truth when your experience is bollocks.

I've had a meth a few times recently, nice clear crystals. 10-20mg snorted gives 'pronounced effects' I've been taking sulphate for over 20 years so whilst I'm no guru I'd say I know decent stuff from glucose powder.

I find meth taken in moderation a very clean and smooth hit, not so keen on smoking it TBH, it's not cheap but it's rarely cut and you don't need much.

Like any amphetamine it has the potential to make you sketchy and since it's much easier to overdo it and the duration is longer I'd say it has significantly more potential to push you into a dark and spun out place, unless you're really careful smoking it is more difficult to control and you could easily just keep redosing.

I found it surprisingly smooth, and I was taking it up the arse (as per usual).

It was probably a less jittery stimulant than even dexamphetamine, although I never once redosed meth. I think redosing / fiending is when it comes into its own as the horror drug it's made out to be.

Bloody hell Jude, that was a lucky escape. Someone less experienced on the bike would have been in severe trouble.

Well you will live in Cambodia

I take it your friend is now off your xmas card list. Please don't burn his shop down

Glad you're ok, for you and the family

I suspect it is the redosing that does it, I'll take the stuff over 2-3 days but never dose more than a couple of time a day and then 20mgs at the most, at that level I find it quite an easy drug to function on. I can see how people fall into prolonged daily use which would drive you over the edge in no time, I limit that by only purchasing small amounts.

I've not tried plugging it, may give that a go later

So, I called the Doctors earlier & was put on the call list...

Having not heard back from them I called up to be told the Doctor had called & left a message. Yet I have no message or missed call. I was then told the Doctor who was supposed to be calling me has gone home for the day. Incompetent bastards dialling the wrong number... they have the right one on record.

Are you going to be ok flower? Can it wait the weekend or will you need medical attention before then - what's your plan?

 

[Chatative]

It's not urgent, they did ask when I called back... it can wait until Monday but it is just rather irritating.

That must be very annoying, though glad to know it isn't urgent to get you into a panic today. Hopefully Monday sorts you out

 

[Chatative]

Thanks, let's hope so because it becomes quasi-urgent then (prescription related stuff) ... although sods law says...

 

[mydrugbuddy]

Struggling to get my body clock reset, its about 5 hours behind where i would like it to be. Took some diphenhydramines last night to ensure that i wouldnt be awake until 4-5am, but they left me feeling so groggy this morning that i couldnt get out of bed till 12:30 which is an hour worse than the day (whole week) before As if the daylight hours arent short enough anyway, im only getting to see half of them atm.

Fuck it, I'll have some stims arriving soon anyway, which will throw everything off again anyway, i suppose that i can get things reset that way as a last resort though.

Two Nytol shouldn't keep you lethargic for that long. What time did you take them? I know that you might still feel woozy. but an alarm set for a humane time (like 9am, for example), a shower and a decent breakfast should sort that.

Seriously, stims are no way to reset your body clock. If anything you'll just drain yourself and end up needing to compensate with even more sleep.

 

[mydrugbuddy]

Yeah you're right about the stims. That's not the way to do it.

Im not sure if Nytol and Diphenhydramine are the same thing Nytol seems to have a variety of different formulations.

I've got pure Diphenhydramine pills. They are the best thing ive found for sleep. They take a couple of hours to kick in and i took them around 11-12pm last night. I'll try taking them around 10.30 tonight, and also reduce my etiz dose substantially, both for HR reasons and it shouldnt even be necessary with those knockout Diphens, (I'll just take the minimum of etiz to stave off w/ds) as they will just make it more difficult to wake up and get up tomorrow otherwise..

You know stims are not the way to go to sort your body clock out You're just taking the piss and teasing our harm reduction ethics here aren't you Mr DrugBuddy Bad Fox.

Insomnia / body clock disfunction is shite and even worse if you have a 9-5 to go to. If you ask me I think you're going to have to man up to some insomnia and forcing yourself to stay up for a few days. Keep that up for 4 - 5 days and get out in daylight as much as possible, eat well, exercise etc and nature will do her thing and re-set you.

I once had a therapist who taught me that the anxiety about not sleeping on a social clock wouldn't kill me, to go with it. (but the drugs would ). He was right. The anxiety about it is worse than the condition. It's horrible but its only a few days and its worth putting up with.

Taking more drugs is the easy short term solution that's just delaying the inevitable.

Hey, did you buy hair colour today?

 

[mydrugbuddy]

More good sound avice, jeez what did i do to dereve this.:D Thanks for your response. The stims idea is already binned. As for the manning up bit I'll go so far as to get up earlier no matter how shit i feel.

Narh havent left the house today. Thats the major problem about sleeping through half the day, it doesnt feel like you have any time to get 'real world' things done, which is why this is a bit of an issue that i want to sort as a priority at the moment.

One of my few old high school friends has started blaming my SZA on my drug use. Not even on my dissociative use, which came after my first psychotic break, but on my earlier MOSTLY FUCKING PRESCRIBED benzo use. Fuck her. She's an idiot.

 

[Kota]

Also: I have a terrible cold. Stuck in bed sniffling and coughing. I've had some Lemsip because it's the only cold medicine in the house but to be honest I hate APAP and phenylephrine. Sadly I can't take pseudo/ephedrine, which is what I really need over here, any more, because I've lately developed fucking epilepsy. Can't even take therapeutic doses of DXM because of it, too.

Try not to let it bother you too much. Some people are always going to be ignorant about that kind of thing.

I've had it suggested both here and in real life that I somehow 'made myself' bipolar through prolonged drug use. It's ridiculous, but even some of those who think they have some understanding of mental health conditions tend to attribute it all to the drugs.

That is rough. I know the feeling of being accused of causing your own problems. The doctors who dealt with my three-month temaz binge in high school attributed my (then diagnosed bipolar) to it. I guess they were just trying to scare me out of fucking up like that again, but they came over as outstandingly ignorant.
