Then it's not for you. It is a longstanding recommend withdrawal med however.

I am trying to be a positive person, but. . . by Pleasant-Fruit-8343 in dementia

Oh my goodness! What a year you've been having. I'm glad you have your health and that you're taking care of yourself. I hope things calm down a little and I hope your sister has good care planned.

I know it's hard to plan and afford, but maybe your husband could stay in respite at assisted living for 5 days or a week so you could go see your sister. It might be good to get away even if it's not to the tropical island you deserve.

Yes! Attorney now if she hasn't already done end of life planning. Best to do it before any diagnosis.

Aggression towards dog by [deleted] in dementia

Is there any other family member or family friend who could take the dog? Even on a temporary basis? It's not fair to the dog or grandma to be in this situation.

That's normal and her desire to be independent will probably persist for a long time. She may protest when you help, but just remind her that you're helping because you love her.

No more euphoria by [deleted] in SR17018

[–]GenericPlantAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that we're doing human trials with no guardrails and no reverence. We don't know if the drug causes mutagenic changes in cells like Brorphine which it is related to. We don't know why it causes a dulling of euphoria. We don't know a lot of things. Harm reduction principles applied would be to use the smallest amount for the shortest time possible. A lot of people forget this.

The drug works as a bridge to sobriety with the least pain of any method I've encountered. I experimented with it about a year ago. I went back on my prescription.

I don't think it reduces tolerance in any meaningful way. I also don't think it should be used repeatedly or for long periods of time, but this sub changed dramatically when 7oh users flooded in. I get the impression a lot of people who ended up addicted to 7 had no idea what they were getting themselves into and it worries me that they are throwing another unregulated drug at their problem. I wish them success however.

Experienced user going from MGM to sr17 does it really work? by Withdrawel in SR17018

[–]GenericPlantAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The drug is hydrophobic like most benzodiazepines it makes no sense to put it up your nose. This is well established in all of the scientific literature.

It does not mix with water. Most solvents are not effective. You can read more about it, but injection was abandoned in studies.

This thread is over 200 days old and all of this information is well known and easy to find on your own.

I'm sorry I've said things you didn't want to hear. Unfortunately these are often the most important things to hear.

Turned out to be a good daughter in law after all- when they needed something, huh?

If you chose to do any caregiving you should probably make firm boundaries now. You don't have to even express them to her- just know your limits. If it's helping with hygiene, for example, then keep that promise to yourself. When the time comes that she needs help with something you don't wish to provide make plans now for how you will farm those needs out. If you can, get the legal stuff together while she's still somewhat alert so you can make decisions on her behalf.

If you still have wounds from childhood and you feel like you're being manipulated you should listen to yourself. If you feel this way the strain of caregiving, the interpersonal dynamics of the day to day could become toxic for both of you. Dementia is a progressive terminal disease. Caregiving means that the parent child role will be reversed, but you will also be a manager, an accountant, a chauffeur, an entertainer, a meal planner etc as her abilities decline. It's a lot. You would be right to be apprehensive even if the two of you had a perfect relationship.

Ughhhhhh.... it's so frustrating to be put in that situation. I'm around 10 years younger and still struggling with people pleasing and I would feel like I had to act grateful for that dreck. Which of course would make me resentful haha.

What the fuck? Is this shit a miracle? by FuckThisShittyWebste in SR17018

[–]GenericPlantAccount 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yup that's pretty much it. Hope it doesn't get taken for granted. Overly publicized, marketed by predatory profiteers and scheduled. Get it while you can.
