🤝 Cultural 🤝 What Was Your Morning Fix v. Hit The Bottle & Go Right To The Rock

[Psychlone Jack]

had 10mg oxycodone this morning (it's mid afternoon now) - has been massively helpful as had extra walking/physical activity to do

@Psychlone Jack do you find the Lions Mane helpful? I know it's difficult to pinpoint precise effects when we are consuming cocktails, but can you? How does it help you? I know a fair few people who take same/similar and have tried myself previously but slipped out of using it for reasons unknown

Hey, sorry for just getting to this.

Personally, I feel that the lion's mane has been a huge benefit, albeit one that takes effect slowly and subtly. You have to take it for a few months to really begin to notice some of the touted neurological benefits, but after about 2 - 3 months of dosing 1.5g daily, I notice that it's easier for me to hold a linear train of thought, work complex ideas out, a definite drop in head background chatter, if that makes sense. I'm of the opinion that it was hugely beneficial in helping repair the damage (with other medications) caused by a hardcore meth relapse and co-inciding mental break I endured last year. That said, as you say it can be hard to pinpoint various efficacies with our cocktails, but some of my gains could also be just time, or a combination of time and the meds/supplements. But when you can get a five month supply of organic LM powder on Amazon for $25, I say it's worth a shot. Do recommend lol.

Much love

But I feel for you slow your roll.. I know it sounds like I'm preaching and shit

Just don't wannt to lose a f good member

You got a lot to add, so from my side big up and enjoin but please take life in consideration. Otherwise bang it and a fucking good time

Awe

Nah man, i honestly really appreciate it. Im glad i am starting to get recognized/respected here as before I joined I had stalked the forums with no account for like atleast 5 years, and everyone here + all the information helped me so so much. Love you all and Love Bluelight

Anyways…
Today, woke up, morning toke of Atomic Sour grapefruit, then 75mg venlafaxine
Shot my 8mg hydro with 20mg methylphenidate (the last of it)
Upon getting to work I shot 6mg hydro and hit my plug for some ice….it arrived during my lunch and now ive got that. Dont really like amphetamines and meth the least, but IVing like 5-20mg every 6 hours works super well for me and i dont get that high really. Functional af for me. Hope i dont eat my words later!!! (although In my entire drug career ive never really had a Problem with any uppers….downers are my thing but ive always been able to pick up and drop uppers no problem)
Im a lucky guy I guess! Even crack I just dropped and hadnt gone back except IVing it a week or two ago. Lol i am definetely stimmed af…need to get back to work!!!!

EDIT: ALSO!! Very excited to mention my dealer gave me a free oxy 40mg I havent shot oxy in a good while….I know people say there isnt a rush or that it just isnt very good but fuck i gotta disagree on that, i love it! Used to shoot like 3-4 of those mundipharma OP80s a day when I lived in Stockholm. Hopefully back soon (minus the constant oxy use, shit was expensive and I cant afford this habit when i move back. Enjoying myself while I can Lol)

Thanks bud and what about other fungi supps that seem to have a lot of health benefits, tried any others like cordyceps or turkey tail etc.

Plus then they also get categorized as
Entheogenic
Adaptogenic
Nootropics
And so on.

So yeah a lot to look at. But I place an order for a full month supply of Pink, white and lotus, tincture and teas ( which are basically just lotus flowers )
There is a whole worked regime for it and how to take it and when.

One thing that I do believe so far, is it to be true in being a natural aphrodisiac.

Just take it easy brother. When I was still a heavy H addict I use to speedball with meth and not Coke, only did that 3x but fucking worked liked a bomb but worst crash ever... guess cause I don't use meth at all basically and only did it those 3 days so I could finished a job.

But yeah, just becareful, only cause we care as your 2nd family o to speak..

I haven't tried any of the other fungi supps, heard good things about the cordyceps though.

I need to get my tea collection back up. All I have now is some spiced chai lol, but I used to at least keep some chamomile/valerian/skullcap teas for sleep, echinacea, ginger, etc. I haven't really heard much about the lotus. Only natural aphrodisiac I've had was yohimbe, and yup lol.

Of course It is appreciated. I don’t think I’ll be continuing to IV coke (or atleast ill try my best) might switch to meth as I can stick to a low dose no problem really and its cheaper. I dont get much of a rush since I’m on effexor which makes it much less addictive to keep injecting/smoking (i still have that issue with coke and ritalin though lol) and also because im on effexor i use alot less since im scared of serotonin syndrome. And also i just dont like amphetamines really as mentioned before so idk, this is easier for me to control.
If this was a bag of coke or crack or if it was ritalin i would have redosed 4 times already….its meth though and I only shot 15mg the one time. Wont need more for a while, honestly probably not even for the rest of the day since this will hold me until my shift ends

Lil I use to use yohimbe hcl for spot injections for fat reduction when I was competing and the. Also read up about is psychedelic properties. Needless to day I got a 50ml pharm grade yohimbe hcl or vet grade lol. And yes that made me horny AF. Plus overdosing also has a psychedelic effect. For me light OEV.

But as for the lotus family, depending the region/country/continent you get it from, will depend on certain chems in them that I'm after.

But yeah on the same note with cordyceps, also know of someone on it at the moment. On his 2nd month. And also stated that only started noticing noticeable effect 3 weeks in, so yeah guess it also takes time to start working but most of these herbal supps do..

 

[SuperPsych]

Started my day off with 150mg of Bupropion and 600mg of Gabapentin. Tempted to take 2400mg or so of Gabapentin today as I have nothing else to do. Kept having dreams that I had O-PCM. Then I'd wake up excited that I had some drugs to do until I slowly realized that I didn't then would go back to sleep and dream the same thing.

Not much planned today. Expecting a call from an insurance company today because I witnessed a coworkers car accident. It's going to be hot today so I'm gonna be stuck indoors until quite a bit later. Just getting my day started and I'm already bored

For interest sake, do you stagger you gabapentin

 

[SuperPsych]

For interest sake, do you stagger you gabapentin

I typically do, but it depends on the timing. On a day like today where I dont work and can get started right away, then I do stagger. If I get home from work around 4 or 5pm and decide I wanna do a larger dose of gabapentin, then I'll do a quick stagger. Instead of 300mg every 30 minutes it'll be 300-600mg every 15-30 minutes. I usually go on a walk to the nature trail to find a nice bench to sit and read on around 7-730pm so I try to line my peak up around there. The time of onset with gabapentin variates wildly for me. Sometimes I feel it in 30 minutes, sometimes it takes 2 hours. Makes it difficult to get things lined up right.

Though I will say 1800-2400mg of gabapentin and 50mg of Hydroxyzine makes for a lovely read/people watching outside

 

[Coffeeshroom]

^^^ I always atagger my dose and never go over 3000mg a day, as I have 300mg caps or a prescribed monthly dose of 100x 300mgs caps a month.

So when I do dose them I always do 300mg 30 min apart tilli get to my aimed dosed and by that time, half has already kicked in and the rest only to following I to a smooth floating zone, where Pregabalin is bang on the spot and depending the dose is how you gonna feel lol

I think I'll try that today and aim for 3000mg total. I usually do 2400mg because 3000mg sometimes feels like a bit much, but I already took 600mg, so I'm probably gonna wait another couple of hours before continuing to take the rest so that it lines up a bit better with my walk.

Just took another 150mg of bupropion for 300mg total, which is my prescribed dose. I'll end up taking an extra 75mg today.

I was on bupropion when I was on steroids hoping for it to balance out my mood swings as some specific steroids really fucks with emotionally and mentally issues.

But overall, any bad side you can declare and how long you been on it? Sorry for the 20 q tonight

Oh no worries. I have been on 150mg SR twice a day for a month or so. For the first week or two it worsened my insomnia but it is no longer an issue. Other than that I have no side effects really. My doctor recently suggested that I go up to 450mg to see if my ADHD symptoms are better controlled. He's hesitant to prescribe stimulant medication due to my history of drug abuse. I was prescribed 450mg a day like 7 or 8 years ago and I remember that dose had a tendency to worsen my anxiety, especially mixed with caffeine. I had to be very careful with caffeine. Because of my anxious reaction years ago I declined his suggestion but I'm now thinking of giving it a shot. That's why I'm considering adding an extra 75mg a day to see how I react before going up to 450mg. I still have tons left over from years back so I can play around with the dose a bit without running out early. I think I may react better to a higher dose now that I'm on gabapentin, but maybe not considering I am addicted to caffeine.

Overall I experience hardly any noticeable side effects. It's overall the antidepressant that I react to the best. SSRIs I experience tons of bad side effects. Mirtazapine is good and I still take it at night but weight gain is a real problem. I haven't been prescribed TCA's so I can't compare it to those.

So no weight gain issues with this .ed so far?

As for the rest it seems to be treating you well but if or when increasing the dosages, just do it slowly and personally try not go that high up.

As for the anxiety part, that's weird but Stimulants of any kind normally increases the chances of an anxiety attack. So if you go that route, start small and see how you react. I mean at the end of the day, you don't want to go from being using one med to using 3 or more To be stable and the worst is one is just covering the sides of the other.

But yeah, I really hope you get to a stable dose without the Rollercoaster ride..

 

[SuperPsych]

No weight gain from the wellbutrin. Weight loss is generally more common with Bupropion than weigh gain, but I haven't experienced either of those. Mirtazapine definitely has caused weight gain in me. Mirtazapine increases my appetite like crazy, especially for sugars. I tracked what I ate one day and it was around 4500 calories and it was a normal day of eating for me. It's not like I exercise a ton or anything either. Just go to work and then I take a decent length walk most days. I did gain 20-30 pounds in 2 months or so, which has been a bit distressing. Actually started a Food Journal today to closer track my calorie intake. Just to help me be more aware of the choices that I make in terms of my diet. The calories add up really quick when you're snacking all day. The Bupropion/Mirtazapine combo has been a pretty effective antidepressant for me but I want to drop the mirtazapine. It might be vain of me but I'd rather be depressed than to gain a ton of weight.

As for the anxiety part, that's weird but Stimulants of any kind normally increases the chances of an anxiety attack. So if you go that route, start small and see how you react.

But yeah, I really hope you get to a stable dose without the Rollercoaster ride..

In my experience, stimulants actually lower my anxiety. Cocaine, Caffeine and Bupropion all have the capacity to make me anxious; but amphetamines and methylphenidate and it's analogues seem to lower my anxiety unless I go crazy with the dosages, and even then the anxiety only manifests during the comedown. During the duration of the main effects my anxiety is significantly lowered, and it basically makes my PTSD symptoms non-existent. I do think that I could benefit from a daily stimulant, but I definitely understand my doctors hesitation. I've long suspected that I've had ADHD and I think that my stimulant use has in large part been me trying to self-medicate somehow. I just got a proper ADHD diagnosis a few weeks ago so we'll see how things go. Wellbutrin helps alleviate my symptoms somewhat but not as much as I'd like. We're gonna try all of the non-stimulant options first and then discuss stimulant medication. I'm not even sure if my doctor would be open to that possibility, but I think that he might be if I really think that it'd help. Anyways, I intend to be honest this whole way through with my doctor. I'm not gonna try to manipulate my way to adderall. We'll see if the prazosin helps my ADHD or reduces my intrusive thoughts and/or my disturbing dreams.

I appreciate the kind words and apologize about the unnecessarily long response. I'm just spit-balling

[Psychlone Jack]

Morning everyone.

Woke up feeling decent this morning, even though I slept through and didn't take my methadone last night... also had some drinks and made a slight ass out of myself, falling asleep face first into a bowl of cereal lol and making a big mess. Didn't even have all that much, 3 drinks and a beer, but in combo with my meds... so yeah, no more booze for a long, long while.

This morning:

Coffee ️
Nic vape

And currently finishing a nice joint of Lamb's Bread.

Off to the daily grind. Hope everyone has a great one, stay safe.

 

[Deleted member 563132]

Gooood morning. Today is the only day this week that I don't work an entire day. Only got 4 hours total, 3 to go ...
Woke up, same old same old (75mg venlafaxine and a toke) although the first shot of today was only a small amount (10mg) of meth, since I wanted to try and wait a bit before I did my dilaudid to see how bad it gets and how fast. Ended up being okay but I decided to shoot 12mg hydromorphone with another 10mg methamphetamine just before work so i am well.
I don't need anymore meth tbh, this shot will last till i get off work and after that I don't really need to be awake and focused on much lol
Edit: that oxy my plug gave me yesterday has proven quite strange....I tried to crush half of it and it didn't work, just flattened into a solid disk shaped piece of oxycodone. Not sure if these are abuse proof (they shouldn't be according to online) but I cant seem to crush it and even after that is done, I'm a little worried it will turn to a gel. Any tips?
