This is actually something I don´t know that I´ve seen before or at least, not in a while. We have plenty of ¨what are you high on? What do you wish you were high on?¨ stuff, but not a lot of ¨what is your daily medication/usage level¨. I like it. It could be very interesting and even helpful for various reasons. However, we aren´t going to keep it in the Harm Reduction forums, as it is just a matter of general curiosity, not a thread dedicated to helping a person use a substance(s) safely.
This is the kind of thing we send over the Drug Culture. That´s where I´m noving it right now. Just let me`know if you think this is an error or if you have any questions.
I´ll throw my hat in the ring
Gabapentin (Neurontin) 800mg TID - I don´t take this every day, but I stockpile it constantly. There are others who might need it and I´ll certainly take it if I feel like it
Clonidine (Catapres) 0.2mg BID - I often take one at night and I´ll occasionally take 0.1mg-0.15mg during the day if I´m feeling tense/stressed. Clonidine is a vastly underrated and underutilized drug for both sedation and initiation of sleep if you ask me. It is essentially non-addictive, it puts people to sleep and also relieves anxiety. To me, Clonidine has so many of the essential benefits provided by Benzodiazepines relative to anxiolysis/hypnosis while being non-addictive and harmless except in overdose.
Methadone 100mg per day - This is what keeps me from murdering all of my coworkers every day and skipping rope with their intestines. Cherry-flavor pairs well with fish.
Cannabis - I´ve used Cannabis almos every day of my life and I have no regrets. It has never harmed me. It´ś only ever made me feel A. Better B. No worse. Cannabis has a special place in my heart. It´s been key having a ¨pressure release valve" that does not totally fuck me up. When I get cravings, especially early on when I did, I would use Cannabis to telieve anxiety but also, I just needed a placebo of sorts. I needed to ¨use something¨ to reinforce the feeling of being ¨okay¨.
To this day, it would be pretty hard for me to accept not having a joint or what have you after a long day of work. And now I´m rambling as I am so often want to do.
