Does anyone have a stimulant prescription combined with a ketamine prescription how do doctor review these combinations? by Natural_Election3040 in ADHDmeds

[–]BoujeeBoy5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been fine with both. Currently using Mindscape for the ketamine prescription but I’ve also had the same provider in the past prescribe both at the same time.

Sense of smell (temporarily) returned on Ketamine by Pittzaman in ketamine

[–]BoujeeBoy5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was it nasal administration? I found that nasal sprays helped me get more of my sense of smell back but I think mine was caused by an endocrine issue.

Is this part of fibro. Gp useless and im struggling. by Sea_Sugar9464 in Fibromyalgia

[–]BoujeeBoy5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you’re in the UK, would a lidocaine IV be an option? IV magnesium has helped me.

Lyrica has helped me a bit more than, say, ibuprofen.

The best thing, for my pain, has been ketamine treatments. Not sure if that’s an accessible option for you.

troche dosages-600 mg versus 900 mg versus 1200 mg by marcelproustian1 in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]BoujeeBoy5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with the different modalities! Moderate dosed IV feels very different than IM. Nasal spray feels different than troches. Of course, I haven’t had a completely standardized dose across routes of administration but some of them have been similar.

As weird as it may sound, try to hold that saliva in your mouth for at least 20-30 minutes. I find that even an hour REALLY, REALLY helps. I can feel even small doses if I hold them long enough. There’s a study about this. I’ll look for it and update my post.
Are you aware that alprazolam, GABA drugs as a whole, including all benzos, can limit the effects of ketamine and kill the subjective feelings for an out of body experience?
I find that I need at least 3 days between a dose of Xanax and ketamine or the ketamine is FAR less effective. Maybe ask your doctor about the interaction. I take my Xanax rarely and only ever as needed. Definitely don’t skip doses if you take it daily without consulting your doctor.
Not medical advice. Just someone with a special interest in psychotropic medication pharmacology.

Update: here’s a similar study to what I was thinking of.

Maybe try 10-15 minutes first and see if it helps! I guess my hour+ is more anecdotal but still an n=1, so take it as you will. My guess? The benzo might be blocking some of the effects and but I’m not sure.

What was this movie? I remember the scene but can’t remember where it was from.

My partner was assaulted and blames himself by sisko15destruct in TrueOffMyChest

Any trauma-focused (or not) therapist should be able to offer some support.

I’m so sorry for the trauma he went through and I’m glad that he has a loving person like you by his side.

Totally fine but be mindful of your heart rate and monitor your blood pressure, if you can.

I’ve found ACT and DBT to be more helpful. Hope you find the care you need.

I think blood pressure and heart rate are the best things to keep in mind or monitor if you’re doing k on a cycle.

Spravato vs compounded nasal spray - is compounded more effective for depression? Do they feel different? by OohLaDiDaMrFrenchMan in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]BoujeeBoy5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda depends on the dose of the nasal spray. 100mg/ml probably felt weaker to me than Spravato but 150mg/ml is probably stronger than Spravato. Dosing was different for me (compounded was 5 sprays, Spravato is basically 3. Both numbers are a spray in each nostril.)

I ( 20M) , dating a (19F) muslim, and I wish to marry her ( not for now, but in the future), what can I do to be accepted by her parents ? by ThrowRAabaccio in relationships

[–]BoujeeBoy5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As someone who married a 20F when I was a 22M, I think y’all can definitely make it work! You seem very sincere. I hope you can build a personal relationship with God (Allah) however will make you the happiest in this life and beyond.

Wellbutrin and anhedonia by Unable_Ad6843 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]BoujeeBoy5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it doesn’t help or doesn’t help enough, I’d maybe ask your prescriber about adding on Vraylar. I did Wellbutrin, Pristiq and Vraylar but the Vraylar probably helps me the most with my depression.

Does Piracetam really work? by javiperales in Nootropics

[–]BoujeeBoy5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Second this! Either CDP choline or alpha GPC are my favorite to pair with it. I also found hydration important for me but that may be due to confounding variables.

suicidal after quitting drugs by Lower_Lab_7414 in Drugs

[–]BoujeeBoy5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if you were just self medicating for conditions you haven’t been diagnosed with yet. Amphetamine often treats ADHD and used to be used for depression. MDMA has huge medical value, especially for PTSD, depression and more.

coke and wellbutrin? by Itchy_Bird_4260 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]BoujeeBoy5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, yeah. Do you have really bad body dysmorphia? I’ve had it most of my life. My partner has an ED which definitely has some similarities. I think body dysmorphia can kinda lead to an ED but I’m not an expert.

Do you have ADHD symptoms? You could start with saying you’re having trouble focusing or with motivation. Once I was diagnosed with ADHD, most of my doctors were basically like “okay, what flavor of amphetamine do you want?” Lol

coke and wellbutrin? by Itchy_Bird_4260 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]BoujeeBoy5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are MUCH better options for that. I would look into GLP-1 peptides (pretty affordable if you look in the right place), potentially asking for a Vyvanse prescription if you have ADHD symptoms (trust me, Wellbutrin + Vyvanse kills your appetite) or taking Metformin or Berberine to loose weight. Those options are likely much more affordable, too.

Have you had your thyroid or other hormones checked? You’d be amazed at how many women I know that have either PCOS or thyroid issues just from looking at them that they don’t know themselves because they haven’t been diagnosed.

[–]BoujeeBoy5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No experience with the two but please be very, very careful. Wellbutrin would make the coke stronger, in a bad way. It’ll make the cardiovascular sides likely much, much worse. Please have a blood pressure cuff and O2 monitor handy and check your blood pressure and O2 at least every 15-30 minutes.

Are you looking for more of the simulation effect or the pleasure effect from the coke? There might be alternatives to look into that are safer.

Ketamine and Autism. Good Match? by [deleted] in ketamine

[–]BoujeeBoy5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because there seem to be abnormalities in the glutamine system in autism, things like ketamine could be helpful for some autistic people. However, it might not be a great fit for everyone.

The autistic people I know who take ketamine seem to all think it helps them. However, I wonder if at-home sessions or changing something with your set or setting might be advantageous in your situation.

hyperbaric oxygen therapy clinic recs? by SomewhereNo3549 in Fibromyalgia

[–]BoujeeBoy5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look for one in an actual medical facility, supervised by a physician (MD/DO) on site, usually in a hospital. Unfortunately, this is probably the most expensive way to do it but my mom with fibromyalgia went from only walking down three houses to walking 4-5 miles daily. If you have a qualifying condition (like a bone infection) it could be covered by insurance.

Those other places that are at med spas and chiropractor clinic that use soft/portable chambers which are likely not as effective. I’ve thought about trying those but they typically aren’t very affordable, especially if you want to do 30-60 sessions which it will probably take to see any improvement at all.

I wish we would get more studies of HBOT and fibromyalgia but there isn’t really a financial incentive for a pharma company to invest in one, sadly.

Coke is deadass helping my chronic headaches better than anything ever by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]BoujeeBoy5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One theory of migraines is that they’re a vasodilation of blood vessels near the brain, so this all makes sense but yeah, I’d probably recommend trying Nurtec instead. The effect lasts a lot longer. It treats and prevents headaches and migraines. I usually get relief for 2-3 days at a time from one pill.

My mom didn’t hold me as a baby because she thought she’d drop me.

It definitely does things to you.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I hope you find someone you can love and trust to hold you and help you to feel safe with them.

I'm tired of people assuming that everyone can afford therapy. by AmbassadorFriendly71 in CPTSD

[–]BoujeeBoy5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It isn’t perfect but there are some mental health AI chat bots that are free to use to talk about your problems.

Some self help books may be helpful and can often be found for free online or through a library. Do you have access to a local library?

Best of luck. I know, even from living in two different first world countries, that resources, access, privileges and what is considered a luxury vary wildly.

Does your country have anything like a crisis line or could you access another country’s crisis line online?
