I always appreciate advice
@4meSM, I might not have explicitly asked, but idly sharing these thoughts in a public forum could be said to be an unspoken request for such... and I do welcome it.
The main thing... I might have mentioned... is I took minocycline, a tetracycline antibiotic for a degenerative retinal disease I have, off-label, without medical supervision, for a few months. Minocycline is a strange antibiotic with documented anti-apoptotic effects as well as an unfortunately high incidence of problematic outcomes, one of them being induction of serious liver injury, somewhat unpredictably... I stopped taking it because I was getting side effects, dry mouth, fatigue, maybe abdominal pain.. although could be IBS related.
After than I could have washed out like a sensible person but I went straight back on the other substances DCK, kratom.. I actually took a break from kratom for a bit before trying to get back on tianeptine because I remembered a time when I had great and prolonged results combining it with modafinil and phenibut... but, alas, my burnt out brain just isn't reliably affected by anything anymore. And I noticed sometimes with tianeptine, I would again get weird liver pangs if I dosed too high... like over 100mg sulphate in a day or maybe 80mg sodium... outside the therapeutic range, but, only just... I am aware tianeptine is not entirely liver safe, and I have noticed after drinking on it that the day after I have an acute pain where my liver I think should be...
So I've basically quit tianeptine... but kratom, I struggle with... I keep going back to it, and I've definitely experienced a kindling of withdrawals. I used to buy like 150g, go through it in a few weeks dosing a few times a day, then just keep on trucking like nothing happened... did that every few months over the last few years or so... now, if I take it for 2 days (but redosing all day those 2 days) the next day suuuuuuucks, like major fatigue.
Fatigue I read is a symptom of liver issues... and my family even commented I am tired a lot and often excusing myself from things to sleep or just rest at home or whatever... but I am pretty chronically stressed and a little sleep deprived all the time too. I don't have jaundice... and if I make myself exercise, once I get going I don't seem to be any worse performing... it could also be kidney issues from dehydration... but then, I have been cycling modafnil, phenibut, tianeptine (more rarely) and various other noots for probably 5 or 6 years now, so maybe it's finally catching up to me.
I'll feel better once I get this liver function test I think unless it comes back as indicating serious liver disease.
The thought of being on nothing scares me I will admit. Partly because I've instilled a belief in myself I just can't do anything useful without a good dose of SOMETHING in me. It's not true of course. But it's something I believe.
This is not the kind of drug user I want to be. But then, all my issues are pretty mild. Like as I always say to others... if someone had a gun to my head - my kratom "withdrawal" wouldn't stop me getting out of bed. Anyone who actually experienced bad withdrawals I'm sure would think I was the whiniest bitch ever, lol. I guess this thought kinda keeps me going too.
Most likely I won't take valium everyday, but maybe I'll try to keep a bunch of it around as a comfort.
So glad I left my dissos in another locale because I would 100% be cracking them out right now.
OT:
5g more kratom (URRRRGHHHHHH! Target for tomorrow, no kratom til SIX pm...)
20mg more diazepam (ahhhh... if only this drug wasn't so risky)
+honestly
300mg more speed in about 2 doses a few hours apart... railed as much as I could, ate the rest.
I put this dried speed paste at 24% purity ish, maybe even less, based on the fact that I dried it out from 5g to 3g, but I estimate it's still a little wet and sticky... so put an extra 10% water content still in there. = ~83% "dried" base... Read a few stats on average purity of this kind of speed in my region, conclusion, 28-29%. I'll put this on the lower end. 0.28*0.83 = ~24%. Correlates with my experience because the last shit I had I was flying from 30mg-40mg. This stuff is dog shite.
Can you believe the fucker was advertising at 90%+ purity speed paste. How in the fuck. If my source was more like Amazon or something... you can bet I'd be complaining.
