Everyone is different. This is a point I find myself making frequently these days. Pharmacogenomics is a new-ish fascinating field of study in biochemistry, and it examines how we all vary according to our genetics and in terms of how we respond to various drugs. Your enzyme makeup can be radically different from someone elses, despite you both clearly being members of Homo Sapien Sapiens.Didn't respond well to vyvanse, at all.
I have a theory that among ppl who use stimulants, they usually fall into one of two—perhaps three—preference groups. You see, amphetamines are monoamine releasing agents, whilst cocaine, methylphenidate (Ritalin), cathinones and pyros are all monoamine reuptake inhibitors. So you've got one crowd who prefers the releasors, and another crowd who prefers the inhibitors. Arguably there is a third group who likes both, and if you like neither you aren't a stimulant user, obviously. But it seems to me like most stim users prefer one form over the other. People who like coke often respond well to methylphenidate. People who like amphetamine/methamphetamine often respond well to Adderall, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine.Felt horrible on it. Reminds me of regular amphetamines, and the after effects aren't as harsh as meth, but still suck.
Do you like cocaine, or not so much?Ritalin is the way to go for me personally, I just have to dose it twice daily.
Sorry but your initial comments made it seem like you tried some of these stims once and maybe jumped to some conclusions that made it so you miss out on something useful to you if you only gave it another shot. Maybe not, but I wanted to try to keep options open for you, at least mentally. In retrospect and after reading over my words again a few days later, I realize I came across harsher than intended, and I owe you an apology for that. To that end, sorry for the mis-conveyed tone. However, I also want to say that this was not "a totally absurd presumption" even with a loose definition of the word, "absurd". There was clearly logic in my thinking based on what you said in that comment, not based on your oeuvre of past posts and comments.A totally absurd presumption you can t know, well you could if you would do a Sherlock on my posts,
took the time to broaden my response.
Yeah I was busy this weekend. Lol, did you think you made such a good argument that I "fled"? Let's try not to flatter ourselves too much.Did during that unodelacosa fled, lost connexxion or what. @unodelacosa
Is English not your first language?Proverbial, oh you mean what people call figure of speech.
I didn't know "proverbial" was a "difficult word". In my mind, I would think most English-speakers have heard of proverbs before—I mean, there's even a book in the Bible called Proverbs (not an endorsement of Christianity; just making a point that it's a popular book) and the adjective "proverbial", even if unfamiliar to them, wouldn't be challenging to figure out by context. I will admit though that I'm an American and, much like the British, we have a tendency to be anglocentric and I sometimes forget that for many ppl on Bluelight, English is a second or third language. It's not my intention to ostracize, antagonize, intimidate, belittle, or talk down to anyone with lofty pretentious language, and if that's how it came across to you at least know that was never the idea. I appreciate the feedback and impromptu, unsolicited constructive criticism though and while I won't apologize for my vocabulary, I will reflect on your feedback and consider it in the future when responding. But hey, in the meantime, at least you learned a new word, so it's not all bad, is it?Using difficult words doesn t make things eassier, is that the aim.
I feel like that heart graphic came from the Take On Me video from the 80s.Hope not, muchyou might need it on the way.
Hope not what? You hope that my aim was not to make things easier? That doesn't make sense. Either way, I recognize and appreciate your efforts to kill with kindness and to take a classy approach, but there's no argument here, really. Wouldn't you agree that for most drugs, using it only once isn't really enough to make a strong overall assessment on it. It's fine for a trip report or anecdote, but I think it should be encouraged to try a thing a few times in order to make a more thorough assessment of it, unless of course their reaction was negative enough to warrant avoiding it in the future out of concerns for safety. No one is requiring someone do a drug multiple times if they don't want to, I would just ask that person to at least provide that disclaimer before trashing it in a public review. Just my opinion. If you disagree, that's fine, too. It's not a very big deal to me, and though I appreciate the internet love / well wishes, and I reciprocate them, it's not necessary to smooth anything over or assuage my feelings, etc. One love back at you, my guy.
They're fast in the ocean! Also, idk if you've ever had boiled snapping turtle, but it's very tender meat that tastes like steak (not chicken). My spirit animal is the octopus, the Agent 007 of the ocean; useless on land though, so don't take my words too seriouslyedit: my spirit animal is Turtle they slow on land but mean well.
