Ah, "hippie crack" (i.e. nitrous.) Having to mess with the chargers while in this weird dissociative state was always a major buzzkill for me, although in that dissociative way it started to become semi automatic and like something that was going on outside myself, like I was standing next to an assembly line. A tank, on the other hand, with some friends, taking turns filling up balloons for each other, will take you pretty far out. Unfortunately while you reach these Himalayan heights of interconnected thought, sensation, and breakdown of audio/visual perception, going really alien places, you come down with basically nothing. Reminds me of the famous quote "A SMELL OF ETHER PERVADES ..."
Myself I am feeling loads better today. The muscle relaxants are starting to do their job, so opiates aren't really necessary for pain, so instead I elected to get a nice little nod going. It took only 30mg oxycodone, which would have been inconceivable for me a few years ago when I was into opiates. Have 70mg left to use wisely. I think it's probably better to just go full on binge than to keep it around so I can be preoccupied with it. I've fortunately been able to have the occasional recreational use of opiates in the past 2 years or so, since I went off the bupe. Slippery slope, I know.
As my level of stress in life has significantly decreased lately (I posted about why earlier in this thread) and since I'm on some psych meds which are helping me considerably I'm giving though to trying a light psychedelic, perhaps 5-MeO-MiPT as that is currently circulating again and it's one of my favorites - I don't have any stash anymore, at all. But that too is a slippery slope. Being active on Bluelight, of course, puts my mind to recreational drug use, although I really do think I am past the point in my life in which those activities hold a central place.
Not to mention my medications don't necessarily agree with recreational drugs:
Wellbutrin - NDRI - doesn't play well with stimulants: mania, psychosis, seizures. I had an odd craving for a little bit of cocaine lately but that would be quite a bad idea. I knew a girl in high school who was on Wellbutrin and did some coke (probably more than "some") and wound up in the psych ward. Not fun.
Lamictal - atypical mood stabilizer - blocks the dissociative effects of ketamine (although a friend also on Lamictal still enjoyed ketamine but in a completely different way than the rest of us did, seemed like he was not intoxicated or had none of the odd physicality that ketamine can give you but experienced some sort of psychedelia. And ketamine is useless as an anaesthetic in people who are on Lamictal. I dunno, this actually makes me curious more than anything else!)
Viibryd - SSRI/5HT1a agonist - This too will be interesting. SSRIs as we all know attenuate the effects of psychedelics and MDMA, although by adjusting the dose you can probably get to the same place. The 5HT1A piece is interesting as psychedelics with higher 5HT1A affinity tend to (a) be less anxiogenic, see Buspar and (b) have an erotic tinge, see flibanserin, and also 5-MeO-MiPT, with very high 5HT1A affinity.
