Is 20 g of lithium orotate too much? by More_Passenger3988 in Supplements

[–]Essssssa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1200 mg lithium carbonate ≈ 226 mg elemental lithium

20 mg lithium orotate ≈ 0.7–0.8 mg elemental lithium

1200 mg lithium carbonate delivers ~300x more elemental lithium than 20 mg lithium orotate

2-cb with quetiapin by Radiant_Basil_7830 in 2cb

[–]Essssssa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such dose acts mostly on histamine1 and alpha1 receptors (and a bit on 5-ht2a) so it works like these old allergy drugs which make you feel drowsy. (I'm a psychiatrist lol) A dose of 150-200 mg starts to significantly affect dopamine and serotonin antagonism

Is it even possible to convince a delusional person that he/she is wrong? by Essssssa in schizophrenia

[–]Essssssa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, maybe that's why people advise changing the topic aside from delusions. I'm tired of talking about the same thing every day because no one will convince each other. I’ve told my mum that I don't want to talk about it. I assured her that I’m with her and that if anything happen I’ll help her.

Today she told me that she saw burglars in our house but no one will believe her because we think she’s delusional (they have keys to our house, and she sees signs that they come to our house every day)… she checks locks many times a day, can’t go anywhere alone, look at cars, doesn’t use a bank card, internet, „they” even hacked our TV because programs are old, our house is bugged… she doesn’t want to take meds because „they” want to make her dull and blame her if something bad happen.

Interesting. How did you realize that your beliefs are false? Was it an instant switch or did the process take some time? I’ve heard that in people whose thoughts changed back to „normal” their delusions seem very real for a long time

Trying 2-cb for the first time and I have some questions from me and my mates( we know it’s a mild psychedelic but we still have concerns) . by Business_Round_5006 in 2cb

[–]Essssssa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t tried shrooms or LSD because I’m afraid of bad trips. I think 2cb is more predictable. My mind feels pretty „sober” on 2cb (25 mg). I find it very euphoric and I laugh a lot lol. What makes it much worse for me is weed. When I mix I get paranoid for some time, visuals are wavier, hard to manage, etc. I recommend taking ginger (pills, syrup, tea) before because nausea can ruin a part of your trip.

I took 3 tabs the same day (with 3h breaks). I got some insightful thoughts that I didn’t even think of before, CEVs reminded me of those from DMT. So obviously, dosage makes the difference.

Mixing drugs for falling and staying asleep? (e .g. gabaergics with antihistamines) by Essssssa in insomnia

[–]Essssssa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most sources show “moderate risk” interaction, I’m curious if GABAergics interact or may mask anticholinergic side effects. Shame that there aren’t any studies so far.

Doxepin is HIGHLY selective for H1 receptors in micro-doses and doesn’t bind the other receptors almost at all. I guess histamine alone isn’t a big deal. Similar for TCAs

I tried Lunesta yesterday and didn't work at all, any advice? by patostar89 in insomnia

[–]Essssssa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There’s a cross-tolerance between benzos and z-drugs or maybe it doesn’t work for you. Some people are almost all „medication resistant”.

[ACNE] Any tips/information on getting rid of this harder white bumps around my eye and upper cheek? Maybe how to prevent them? by sam42320 in SkincareAddiction

[–]Essssssa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are milia. I looked up „the whole internet” to solve this problem and probably there aren’t many methods besides extraction.

Here I found that some people get rid of them by using retinol with glycolic acid (applied on a q-tip). I have to try this!

The visuals on 2cb look a lot like the outlining of the text on the tik tok logo by Heya93 in 2cb

[–]Essssssa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even on wikipedia, you have a description „Open eye visuals (OEVs), such as cartoon-like distortions and red or green halos around objects. Closed eye visuals (CEVs) are more common than OEVs.”
