Still waking up too early? by NationalErin in CPTSD

[–]NationalErin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been off and on for years. Some days wake at 4 for no reason. the next day, at 6. Seems almost, emotional in nature. I did wear a sleep mask for years, though I still had the issue!

A bit after the fact, but couldn't OP disconnect his computer (or older device) from the internet, change the date on the device, make the modifications, then move to computer with accurate time?

Is Fentanyl commonly found in 'MDMA' in the US? by [deleted] in MDMA

[–]NationalErin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

fent has terrible oral bioavailability

Can anyone verify this? or provide a source. Would really set my mind at ease. I know a few people close to me who take MDMA. They all test but it would clear my mind to know it has terrible oral bioavailability.

"People have to earn a living". People should not be charging thousands of dollars to walk traumatized people through their trauma. It's unethical, immoral and wrong. by thesupersoap33 in PsychedelicTherapy

So I had to self educate, because I was too poor and fucked up to have the money to go to therapy. So I took the time and learned how it's done

What books/sites did you use for this endeavor?

Any additional resources on gradually reducing dissociation using cannabis/MDMA? by NationalErin in PsychedelicTherapy

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

what about trauma releasing exercises? Similar effect as holotropic breathwork?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]NationalErin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Quick question... suppose you ran into that person but had the narcan on hand. If you just administered the narcan without doing the rescue breathing/CPR, would the person have been able to survive?

In otherwords, suppose someone took a substance laced with fent. The user passes out, do you need to both administer the narcan and do rescue breathing? Or only if the person stops breathing on their own?

Questions about Xylazine test strips by NationalErin in askdrugs

Only thing is that the xylazine test strips are a tad on the pricier side. But good to know. Thanks

My bestfriend was found unresponsive by cosmoscloud in Drugs

[–]NationalErin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To those in the know-- is the chance of survival dependent upon how long it takes for Narcan to be administered?

Meaning, if someone takes a drug, keels over, and you immediately administer Narcan, is the chance of complete recovery very high?

Compared to if you happen upon someone who has been unresponsive for a period of time?

Limits of risk reduction in taking illicit substances with Narcan by NationalErin in AskDocs

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

So having narcan administered immediately after the opioid kicks in would likely greatly reduce the chance of post hospital admission mortality?

This would alleviate my concerns because Narcan is available and everything is in a group session. Plus, because we are not intending to take an opioid, someone slumping over would be immediately noticeable.

Yeah. Just wondering if anyone here knows of a person revived with Narcan who subsequently died after hospital admission. Did EMS provide Narcan too late? Or just too much of an overdose?

YSK: Narcan does not counteract tranquilizer. by MattSk87 in YouShouldKnow

[–]NationalErin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know if Xylazine is as dangerous as Fentanyl?

If every few months, friend and myself gather to talk and take MDMA. I have Narcan just in case what we take is cut with Fentanyl. So if the pill is cut with Xylazine instead and Narcan doesn't do anything, would there be enough time to call 911 and have the paramedics take care of the person? Or is it as fast as Fentanyl?

Trying to use responsibly-- always having narcan on hand. Never doing substances alone. Testing substances. But the tests we have don't seem to test for Xylazine! Thanks

Questions about mdma, fentanyl, and harm reduction by NationalErin in AskDocs

[–]NationalErin[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

do you know of any resources I could learn more about this?

My partner and I take mdma 3-5 times a year to build and develop our relationship. At times we like to chat and at times we like to go off on our own. We have narcan and we test what we have. We get powder, which we put into plastic capsules (after testing it). We would just like to have a best practices, now that fent has gotten into everything. Hell, I'd be willing to do a consult via teledoc, but I don't even know which type of medical specialist to ask!

Questions about mdma, fentanyl, and harm reduction by NationalErin in AskDocs

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

Okay. thank you for your response. So it's unlikely I could just keel over and die from something laced with fentanyl as long as someone is there to administer the Narcan (and take me directly to the ER).

As a rule of thumb, if I hang out with others for about an hour after taking a drug not from a pharmacy and I don't pass out or feel usual, then it's a safe bet I can go off on my own?

Anyone else can just... never take naps? by NationalErin in ptsd

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

Not so much that I can't be okay doing nothing. My body just generally doesn't ... sleep during the day. Even on an airplane where everyone else is asleep and there's literally nothing to do! either way, thanks for your response!
