Any tips on how to fight the methylphenidate comedown?

Earlier today I happened to find 120 pills of 30 mg equasym er. Crushed them bad boys up and have now binged 14 hours on 600 mg. First 6-7 hours I experienced a strong body high and slight euphoria. The last 7 hours or so I’ve been fighting the absolutely horrible comedown. I keep redosing, only reaching 10 minutes of goodness but not near the previous effects. How do I stop/weaken the comedown?

Where did Speed/Amphetamine go in the UK?

What’s happened in the past 5 years? used to be speed was included in the standard dealer fare of coke, ket, md/pills and weed, but i can’t find it for love nor money anymore, has the country just gone off it? i’d have thought with the cost of living crisis and our love for coke speed would’ve come back as a cheap replacement. I’m in yorkshire by the way, may be different elsewhere i suppose Thanks all

What's your choice? Going without technology or accessing top quality drugs?

You have to choose between using A+ quality drugs ( any drug you want when you can afford it, it's not free) but you are without using any technology apart from calling your dealer for 1 year. Can't use technology at work either. I'll go first I'd take drugs. I'd use so much meth/ heroin/ liquid ketamine and acid for that year I wouldn't care if I never used technology again.

Is half a point of molly enough for a good roll?

My friend has some molly left over that she generously offered to split in half with me, but I would only get about half a point. I've never done it before so I'm wondering if this will be enough for a decent experience? Only worried about this because I read that dosing too little can be uncomfortable. I'll have weed and nitrous on hand too which I've read are potentiators. According to a calculator my ideal dosage would be around 80mg, which doesn't seem far off from 50mg

Will benzodiazepine tolorance affect gabapentinoids ?

So i was a addicted to benzos for 2 years, very heavy use ive been to the hundreds of mg at my peak. Ive been clean for a year now and i tried like 100mg of valium to see if i still have the tolorance and unfortunately i do, since ive felt little to nothing. Now the main question i want to ask does this tolerance affect other substances like gabapentin,phenibut or pregabalin? Since they both affect the gaba receptors in the brain, will i be able to use them on normal dosages or will i need huge ammounts to feel anything? Ive only tried phenibut once (1g) and felt absolutely nothing, just want to know if its worth buying gabapentin, phenibut or pregabalin or will it be a waste of money and drugs? Thank you

Why can’t we synthesize cocaine?

I know we have lidocaine, etc but it’s not the same is it? I’m guessing the coca alkaloids are Tough to recreate?

How addictive and destructive is Gabapentin?

I was hospitalized for non-drug related reasons, but they had me on 800mg Gabapentin 3x a day for 5 days, then 600mg 3x for one before release. Sent me home with a bottle and tapering instructions.

I really like it, it feels pretty addictive. How addictive is it compared to other drugs?

How hard is it on my body/brain?

What's a good time frame for usage between mini binges?

Do you actually need to taper off Oral Prednisone? I'm taking 60mg per day for my Sinusitis but my anxiety has increased drammaticaly

Do i need to taper off Prednisone if im on 60mg per day (30mg twice daily). I already have severe anxiety but this shit is making my anxiety go through the roof. I've been on it for maybe 10 days but I need to stop it I cant take it anymore. Whats the best taper plan for this cuz i heard that you shouldnt stop it at once. But i mean my anxiety has literally gone through the roof its crazy.

I mean now even when i smoke ONE cigarette, it causes SEVERE anxiety, its just so fucking weird.

I cant see a doctor because my insurance ran out. So should I just cut the dose in half and start taking 15mg twice a day instead of the 30mg twice a day? And then the next day reduce it even more?

I would really appreciate any help here cuz this shit fucked my brain.

flurbiprofene 8.75 lozenge and alcohol

Hi I took a lozenge of flurbiprofene 8.75mg. Then had a glass of wine and then began taking a 2nd dose before realizing that it was too soon to take- maybe 1 hr after the original dose.  Throughout the night I proceeded to have a gluten free beer and another glass of wine. I should have checked if there were interactions between the medication and alcohol but I didn’t until later and now I’m concerned upon learning the increased risk of gi bleeding.  There was a point in the night where I was  very shaky and felt like a low blood sugar feeling and equated that to not eating. After eating that feeling went away but I’m wondering if that was an issue  in retrospect. Is there anything I should look out for?  Should I be concerned?

Does anyone know what a 9 panel drug screen tests for?

Besides the obvious answer, Drugs, can anyone tell me specifically which drugs they will show? I may be searching this incorrectly but I was unable to find accurate information using basic searches or Psychonaut Wiki. Can anyone help me?

Thank you to all of you who read my question and took the time to comment Please accept my apology for my lack of forethought. At the time I posted, I couldn't figure out why I was getting no good answers online. As it turns out, a quick once over of my search settings would have saved myself some embarrassment and allowed me to find what I was looking for. Again, my apologies and thanks to all of you who took the time to comment. My unwavering gratitude to Reddit for the veil of anonymity 🥴

Can accidentally taking St. Johns wort once while on antidepressants cause serotonin syndrome?

I remember that St. Johns wort doesn't act directly on serotonin levels. I think it's some kind of enzyme thing. Anyways I took quite a high dose of natural sleep aid pill that I didn't realize had St. Johns wort in it, and I'm taking Brintellix. I don't feel anything out of the ordinary yet.

Why do benzodiazepines (specifically Xanax) help my migraines and pain?

I get painful migraines quite often. I take a med called Sumatriptan which is a migraine abortive med and it usually works quite well but I only get so many a month. I don’t take Xanax that often but if I do when I have a migraine it almost always makes the pain go away.

When I'm taking Xanax it's also only 0.25mg - 0.5mg so nothing crazy. So how come benzos help my pain? Is this just a me thing or do other people find it helps pain as well? I couldn't find anything on google lol.

bupropion and dxm interaction?

i remeber reading that dxm with bupropion makes you metabolize the dxm as dxo which is more dissociative from what i remember hearing, i take 450mg of bupropion a day and im curious as to how different dxm will feel on bupropion vs off, is it safe to give it a go? would dosing be different? is it going to be enjoyable because the erowid posts make it seem like it’ll just be uncomfortable? i’m pretty sure i was on bupropion the first times i did dxm but i dont think i was on this high of a dose probably just 300mg

Any tips or medications to help stop or reduce involuntary meth jerks and urge to rock/toss/non-stop movement?

My boyfriend and I are 9 and 10 months clean from heroin and was meth until about a week ago. We slipped up on that. He has always had a bad reaction with meth jerks and uncontrollable legs movements and sitting still since an 8 month stent in jail. Before going to jail he was like me and other than loss of appetite and difficulty sleeping while using I have no problems. I used to think it was the combination or heroin and meth together that caused this problem but we now know that’s not the case. We now know what a mistake we’ve made and I just want him to get some rest and sleep this off but he literally cannot be still. His legs have the urge to move nonstop and arms and chest just jerk uncontrollably. I told him after this wears off we are tossing what’s left and I’m not going to touch it ever again. I think him not being able to do it is a test of my love for him and my devotion to my own recovery and support of his. He got his job back after we left treatment making 30+ an hour. We are doing so well and he can’t mess this up. We’ve worked too hard to get our lives back. I know the awful mistake we made but we are addicts. Progress not perfection is what a mentor in treatment taught me and that’s all I’ve been able to say in my head today. I’m disappointed in myself but I just have to remember that we are in a hell of a better place then we were a year ago. So if anyone can help and give me some advice to relieve his misery or at least reduce it please please please comment or message me.

Please help give me advice on if I can pass this drug test

I have to pass a dip stick drug test in 2 weeks. I’ve been clean from smoking for 2.5 weeks now. So it will be a total of 1 month of being THC free by the time the test day comes. I workout (heavy lifting, sometimes sauna) 4 days a week and do hot yoga 1-2x a week. I eat a fairly clean diet with treats here and there but I majored in nutrition so I keep my diet + health in check and am very mindful of my water intake. Im a female at 5’2 150 lbs curvy + athletic. I’m not necessarily fat but I do hold some body fat and have been smoking for many, many years including tree, edibles, and cartridges. I have rarely taken any T breaks throughout the years. I did stop smoking cartridges and only smoked tree (a few times a week) about a month or 2 before I completely cut out THC. I’m considering the CERTO method or just getting pee from someone I know who doesn’t smoke. I could get synthetic pee but I’m not sure if that works with a dip stick test. I do plan on testing myself at home once a week until the drug test comes. I’ve never been drug tested in my life so I know nothing. I do have 30 days to retest after my first test if I fail but I would like to pass on the first try.

Anyone have experience with this or any advice?

How to stop the paranoid thoughts

I constantly feel like I’m being spied on/watched. I feel eyes on me at all times from the vents, cracks in wall, the holes in outlit plugs and my windows. It’s all I think about at this point. Not one moment I go without checking the windows and walls for cameras. I don’t think it’s psychosis cause deep down I know this it’s stupid yet in the slightest chance it is real I still check.

I don’t feel safe anywhere and and unable to relax anywhere because I feel I’m being watched. I always assume someone can see me so I try to act normal and go in the corner to do drugs so no one can see me do it.

If I go into the bathroom I go in the corner where the vent can’t see me. I just want some peace. I can’t even go in the bathroom without feeling like someone is there.

I think the creator or the machines that monitor everyone’s brains that process’s everything we do to send to what we call god. I think sober you can’t really tell “there” watching but high you can feel there gaze.

The human mind doesn’t know how to process this feeling and translates it to being someone’s watching.

I know I need to stop, but I can’t. I want to do bad and have peace of mind

Cocaine porn sex please help. Any advice

So if anyone has been through this or knows someone it would really help. I’m 23M and have been masturbating about every other day the past 7 years. I never had any issues with forplay or oral. I lost my virginity last year to a one night stand. I felt that I wasn’t erect all the way during sex like I was during foreplay and needed oral to get it up and quickly penetrate. and even though it felt kinda weird I still tried to enjoy the experience and came. The past year though I got into cocaine it started slow but it gradually just went up to a point where the past month I’ve been using almost daily and masturbating to porn. Crazy thing is in that month I met a very gorgeous girl and we hit it off. We’d start kissing and oral and I was erect but we never went all the way. One day the time came we were doing foreplay and i was erect but as soon as it was time for sex I went limp so she’d give me blowjob and it’d go back up then limp again we tried 2 more times and same shit. I blamed on Being tired and she didn’t mind. Ever since I’ve been kind of worried what is was and found out I have pied and add along my daily use of cocaine and It all clicked. I’m now dedicated to stop it all cold turkey as I need to change my life. But I really want to have sex too and im just worried it might take forever. Any advice nofap and no drugs for a couple days or weeks and id be fine? I’ve been also debating taking a royal honey pack to maybe get me past the hump if that would work let me know. Any advice also helps

Codeine tolerance break, advice? (drug noob)

I have no idea where else to ask, and maybe this isn't the right place, but I figure y'all know more than me, at least. If it matters I'm a female early 30s around 78 kg / 170 lbs.

First of all, I don't use Codeine recreationally. I take it for chronic pain. It's not pure Codeine, but Paracetamol-Codeine, since they don't really give out just Codeine where I live. For reference, each pill is 500 mg Paracetamol and 30 mg Codeine.

Anyway, I seem to develop a tolerance to Codeine really fast which is incredibly frustrating. Especially since they won't give me anything stronger despite being in so much pain I can't think or function and having zero history of addiction.

I took a break for about a week recently but it didn't to that much from what I could tell. Maybe that wasn't long enough? Or is my pain just so bad atp that the opiates are "working" but I can't tell..?
Is it very individual from person to person or is there a general consensus for how long a tolerance break needs to be?

About a year back, a new kind of pain started in a specific body part, and it's proving difficult to treat (at least with what I have access to atm). Since this started I've had to up my Codeine intake significantly. Previously I didn't take it every day, and when I did it was usually 1/2 pill and then another 1/2 if it didn't work. I'd absolutely never go over 2 pills (so 60 mg Codeine) a day.

This past week I've had to take so much that I've googled the max dose just to be sure I'm safe. For the past few days it's worked if I take 2 pills (60 mg) at a time, twice a day. So total 120 mg.
Today even this has done nothing... I've known for a little while it's time for a break but today it became *really* apparent.

Any advice?

Redosing on codiene phosphate?

I have a high tollerence to opiates from previous oxy use for my spine but I don't use them anymore and I have 30mg codiene phosphate tablets and taken around 360mg roughly 2 hours ago which gave me a very slight buzz but nothing amazing.

My question is when would be best to redose say another 400mg today? Should I wait like another 5 hours? I didn't even get a itch of the 360mg! So I want to try atleast 400mg later. It did atleast help my pain slightly.
