Hi there FC. Sorry if I failed to respond to any outstanding DM's you or anyone else left either shortly before or following my disappearance. This is the first time I have been on the fprum's as a regular customer in 4 years and at least 10 months since I stopped using the sight, While I have no excuse for abandoning the board in the manner I did, it had got to the stage where I not only had exhausted my use with regards to any advice or help I could offer (assuming that this was actually the case at some point at least) I had regressed to what was already an almost complete state of self isolation, with the lockdown sealing the deal with regards to a life that unlike most I was far to prepared for and comfortable with, continuing to cope badly but none the less still coping. While many unfortunate souls will most likely have turned to alcohol or drugs, finding themselves in positions of desperation for the first time, I already had an addiction to rely on.
Never the less, my personal social contract had already been broken by yours truly following my relapse now nearly 8 years ago, so in actual terms I have nothing to offer in terms of what gwarning as a general notion, only finding a place during the halcyon days of the first half of the last decade where my lack of social contact was not, for once, a barrier to the explosion of designer drugs that started appearing via the Royal Mail in the wake of the Mephedrone and MXE bans.
So, with the inevitable dissertation out of the way, the nitrazepam incident did not result in any noticable lasting damage. With my post following an early morning bong (I had, largely due to the effect of the pills, had been in bed by about 9pm the previous evening) and the follow up spliff providing a wake - and - bake for the purposes of putting a film on (I have been practising my own personal Dolby 1:1 cannabis emersion since the age of 16, hitting up a pipe + spliff on the cinema car park on those occasions that did not take place in front of my own home system(s) ) I cannot remember any further discomfort so while the issue of injury from sedative induced postural problems are most certainly an issue, I was lucky to have forgotten I had received one following some ganja and a flick as the sun rose Friday. While I cannot speak to these drugs causing or increasing the risk of peripheral nerve damage they most certainly do not do any favours for ones brain function, with the risk of dementia's possibly topping the reasonably long list of damage these drugs can do when overused to the extent I do.
