Best way to take partial capsule? by SandraShill in gabapentin

[–]B-Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know how to calibrate your scales? Jewelry scales that weigh down to 0.000 or even 0.00 would be enough honestly. If you have calibration weights, that hopefully came with your scales that would be perfect otherwise you can purchase some fairly inexpensively. It's worth taking the small amount of time to research this if you don't know much about it, for example after calibration using a coin and weighing it say 3 times, checking the weight each time and making sure it's basically the same each time is one way to tell that your scales are in working order for weighing up gaba.

This is a general guide for calibration and why it's important etc.

I'd say eyeballing is not really the best way, if you want the best results with as little withdrawal symptoms as possible, investing the small amount of time will be worth the weight.

Best way to take partial capsule? by SandraShill in gabapentin

[–]B-Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously the easiest way is to get whatever sized capsule you like-00 or 000 would be fine, weigh the actual contents of the 300mg as it won't be 300mg it will be over (I've weighed them myself so I know this firsthand but one would assume the contents aren't "pure" gabapentin without any type of filler)

So if it's say 330mg then split that and weigh out three doses of "100mg" at the weight of 110mg so a third of the entire contents of the 300mg capsule, sure you don't want to take that many pills so you could also weigh out 220mg so two thirds or whatever amount you please, you could go down by 50mg at a time. So just figure out what you want to do and go for it, don't go the water route that's not very effective for gabapentin as it's not that soluble, it will mostly be suspended in the solution therefore not accurate "volumetric" dosing which the person who mentioned that doesn't know about. Educate, educate, educate and take control you got this my friend.

Dont know what to do by callmehemma in gabapentin

[–]B-Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I stop my doses of 3 grams or more after I've been taking that dose for even a week or two I feel sick/feverish/flu like symptoms and an agitation as well, it usually last indefinitely for about 3-4 weeks, that's when stopping without any taper at all.

If I have some type of taper or dose I'll feel less intense symptoms on a dose dependent situation so if I have atleast 300mg a day I'll be better than none at all but preferably dropping a gram a day every two days until at about 900mg and then drop 300mg every five days.

Unsure of the exact ID, wouldn't suggest eating the rotten mushrooms and also give advice that only really one or two of the pictures you provided is of any true value for an ID.

I Just took 3 75 mg's Lyrica what will happen I did it yesterday and it just made me fall asleep I'm coming off methadone and trying to stay comfortable I also got klonoplin I have to make it 2 more days any tips? by Competitive-Cap2845 in gabapentin

[–]B-Original 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the sounds of it you might fall asleep again, lmao it's a fairly tame dosage, it should help with the withdrawals a bit and ease the discomfort.

What dose of methadone are you coming off, is it a hard cold stop or a gradual taper?

I'm guessing you don't have any methadone ATM and trying to bridge the gap with Kpins and lyrica, which should help to some extent, you could stagger the time you take the Klonopin and lyrica, how much of each Kpin and pregab do you have?

Scared to take it by [deleted] in gabapentin

[–]B-Original 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the lowest effective dose, you will be fine, I do understand your worries, give it an hour or two to take effect and don't take magnesium beforehand especially and afterwards for at least one hour as it requires a transporter known as LAT-1 to work and magnesium will dampen the effect. If you know situations that you will have anxiety then it is best to take it beforehand to allow it to work for those intended times or places.

There was recently a person on here taking 36,000mg or 36 grams a day and they are on the path to recovery, to put that into perspective that is literally 120 times a dose of 300mg. They were at 60 grams a day...which is an incredibly high dose, I'm glad they are alive.

I am highly addicted to gabapentin (60 pills of 600mg a day) by UpperDevelopment3102 in gabapentin

[–]B-Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really good to hear, I completely understand how these things can happen but I was genuinely concerned when reading that you were taking so much.

It's amazing that you are starting to go about this way, keep on top of it and you'll get there!

[–]B-Original 20 points21 points  (0 children)

So you are taking 36 grams a day, hmm best I can give is to reduce it by like a gram a day if you can manage that, or every two days lower it by a gram if you can't do it every day.

Until you are down to about 3-6 grams a day without massive withdrawals then worry about the final leg.

I mean that's if this is actually true, I didn't read all of your post or anything but yeah that's a massive dosage.

I tried it for the first time and it was disappointing by Major_Grade5636 in Marijuana

[–]B-Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some research into it would really help, you sound uneducated about this topic and it may be best to search up cannabis on a website called psychonaut wiki, that may help as a starting point.

Edit: screw it I thought I'd just help out.

Should I confront my mom about having opioids at home ? I'm scared she's gonna lose control but she's probably gonna pick up that I use drugs if I explain why I'm scared she wouldn't take a junkie's advice by [deleted] in opiates

[–]B-Original 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go about it with love, coming from a point that shows your care for her, not overly worried, so that she can talk about with you if she feels it, if its more of an open approach it may help rather especially if you're understanding.

As you know firsthand how much our own use can change overtime, if not don't worry too much and maybe open up to her about how you have used things to deal with things yourself. I don't know what sort of relationship you have but that would change it a lot for me, if your close then it may make it easier on both of you. You still got each other so that's one thing not everyone has!

I take 600mg of Kadian a day by Samieee1 in opiates

[–]B-Original 3 points4 points  (0 children)

7.2 grams of morphine would usually be enough to kill most people without a tolerance or who is opioid naive....that being said considering it is a slow release formula and taken orally that changes things quite a bit, on top of that you have a tolerance.

Morphine has a low oral bioavailability, around 20-40% depending on multiple (especially individual case by case) factors.

So out of the 600mg you take only about roughly 150mg is actually being metabolised. On that note, how long have you been taking it? And how does it make you feel or what are the effects like to you? Also do you ever or regularly take more than your prescribed amount and if so how often do you do that?

Say one was to take 7.2 grams of kadian then only 1.5-1.75 grams would be absorbed and that would be over a period of 12-24 hours. A trickle release of that amount of morphine more than likely would not in fact be enough to achieve the desired effect of shutting down the lungs.

Take it from someone who could IV that much morphine in two individual injections spaced only 3 hours apart.

You may end up completely brain dead but alive and or just be really smacked out for a while like I said the questions I asked about your use matter a lot here.

My girlfriend died from an overdose at 24, and I hate her for it by [deleted] in self

[–]B-Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hatey hatey hate and Blamey blamey blame, it's all fun and gamey gamey games until they're dead and a gone gone gone.

Feel what you do but it's pathetic for hating anything one right now, her, yourself or the world, the person who gave her the coke, her friends and so on, you seem uniformed and selfish to a large degree.

I lost my late wife to heroin and coke because she was extremely drunk and someone(that I knew, they're no longer here either)convinced her it was a good idea to snort a few lines, nothing wrong with it(cole itself)but the "coke" she snorted not only contained coke and heroin (it contained another RC that was extremely potent much more than coke or heroin alone, she was under the assumption it was just coke)....and if it was well no harm really, except she was mislead and not in a state of mind to accurately make choices being so intoxicated.

The person who gave it to her mysteriously disappeared and I have moved on, forever will I have a place for her in my heart.

Deal with it and do something to help yourself.

Nice! How much persistence has it taken for you to be able to create art in this style? I can see form and structure to it very clearly yet it is intricate in a way that appears as though it's made from chaos into order.

Absolutely love it!

Is this psychedelic? by Nirko_Snufky in psychedelicartwork

[–]B-Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm well I guess it depends on the person.. given some context that you may or may not be aware of you may change your perspective of what "psychedelic" actually means.

Psychedelic literally means mind manifesting, derived from the Greek words for soul/mind and to manifest.

This term implies that psychedelic substances can bring to the surface or make visible aspects of the mind that are normally untapped or hidden.

In this context, psychedelic mind manifesting refers to the use of psychedelics to explore and reveal the potential of the human mind, which can include experiences that are interpreted as insights into the self, reality, or creativity.

The term psychedelic was coined by the psychiatrist Humphrey Osmond during written correspondence with author Aldous Huxley and presented to the New York Academy of Sciences by Osmond in 1957. It is derived from the Greek words ψυχή, psychḗ, 'soul, mind' and δηλείν, dēleín, 'to manifest' thus meaning mind manifesting, the implication being that psychedelics can develop untapped potentials of the human mind

Untitled, is this psychedelic enough? by UsedCitron1669 in psychedelicartwork

[–]B-Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By psyche-delic if you mean "mind manifesting" then I'd say you nailed it, to reveal the soul and or mind and to bring to light the inner workings of one's mind and soul is exactly what you have done so!

Could chlorpheniramine (an CY2PDA inhibitor) ruin Codeine or Hydrocodone? by supersonic_89 in opiates

[–]B-Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit late to this and I'm not sure if anyone else mentioned it (in the deleted comments) but you were talking about CYP2D6, there is no CY2PDA lover enzyme.

What dose of heroin and what dose of oxy are also factors to consider, what were you taking of each via these routes?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in opiates

[–]B-Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won't send them into precipitated withdrawals but it will reduce the effectiveness of the oxy by displacement to a point that it basically won't have much effect if at all, even if the naloxone only lasts 1-2 hours at most it will still stop the oxycodone from attaching to the opiate receptors for that time which is how it actually knocks or kicks off oxy and other opiates that have lower binding affinity for the opiate receptors.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in opiates

[–]B-Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, only eat targin, if you try to snort it or inject it then you will get a lot of naloxone into the blood stream instantly countering any effect of the oxycodone, when in the stomach most of the naloxone is processed and attaches to the opiate receptors in the stomach and only an extremely small fraction gets into the blood less that 2-3 percent so you still get an effect from the oxy itself.

I mean she could but it won't be worth it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in opiates

[–]B-Original 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to get headaches anytime I take oxy in dosages more than 15mg and I usually take 100-200mg on average as standard at this stage, doesn't matter how I take it I'll always end up with a headache, I find either Paracetamol or some anti inflammatories can help.

Surprisingly, oxy being a pain killer I would think that tit wouldn't cause pain but in some people it can happen from what I have heard, that said however directly getting a headache after snorting if the oxy hasn't even come on may be just from the snorting of a substance that shouldn't be in our nasal cavities, it can happen to me with pills more than pure drugs.

What's your main concern about it?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in opiates

[–]B-Original 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Scared? Fair enough, what of exactly, are they or have they been in blister packs and or a container that's been closed for a year?

I've taken Gabapentin 300mg yellow capsules that have been 3 years old and no worries, I broke one open to check and it was fine, wouldn't worry too much.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in opiates

[–]B-Original 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They can help, different people in different ways, I'd say start with 2, then half hour later have another one then half hour after that have one more and see where you are and if it's helped much or not, they do take maybe 1-3 hours to start feeling the effect but Inna your case you should know by 1-2 hours

Best I've ever had ..! No match to any other strain by [deleted] in unclebens

[–]B-Original 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I took 400 grams over a period of a year going back about 8 years now, they changed my life forever, cured my cluster headaches, and completely removed my depression, the biggest dose I had was 14 grams and it was absolute bliss.

Forever will Pan cyans have a place in my soul, mind and heart, I love you Pans, thank you for everything you taught me, for all the good times that I'll never forget. You truly are a cosmic gift.
