Hello everyone, new to all of this!

[Mr Adder]

Never been into drugs or drug culture. I'm finding that the more prescription meds I'm being issued the more I'm becoming curious about side effects, long term effects, potential safer alternatives.

I am becoming more interested in the potential benefits and recreational side of things. I've been sensible, safe, never got a kick out of risk taking or used or done anything illegal.

I still want to stay safe and on the right side of the law, I just think its time to relax and be a bit more self indulgent ?

Hey welcome to Bluelight, glad to have you on board and good on you for wanting to learn!

Do you mind if I ask what prescriptions you are taking? There's lots of great info on most commonly prescribed medication

 

[Mr Adder]

Ritalin 60mg daily
Dihydrocodeine can't remember what dosage!

Had other painkillers prescribed over the years but couldn't tolerate the side effects.

I'd rather not have to alter my brain chemistry to get through the day, but sometimes you just need to get stuff done.
I wasn't comfortable taking ritalin at first but after 18 months I'm used to it and see the benefits.
I can also see how some people can misuse it!

Oh yeah definitely lol, but luckily it really helps some people and I hope it continues helping you!

I would recommend checking out Other Drugs and Mental Health they have lots of information about medications and side effects. Also you can always talk to others and it's a great community.

Greetings Mr Adder!

You have a very mature outlook on drugs, and hope you continue to use responsibly. Hopefully i'll see you around the forum

Enjoy your stay!

Had a look through some of the threads. Quite an eye opener!

The one on adderall and masturbation cheered me up! I wondered if methylphenidate could have the same effect but I've since learned that while they both treat adhd symptoms they're completely different meds.
Would you also need to be prescribed anti-inflammatory painkillers to treat repetitive strain injuries in your forearms? ???
