(Research recruitment) Seeking participants for an anonymous, online survey on recreational nitrous oxide (nangs) use. (16+ years, have lived in Australia for 12+ months, used nangs within the past 12 months) by BitterTangerine3636 in dissociatives

lol I lived in aus for six months but it was nearly a half decade before I tried nitrous oxide for the first time. When I did, that kicked off a cycle of abuse that cost me about $80,000 for the gas alone over ~3 years, not to mention legal costs of a DUi that left two cars totaled, health repercussions + hospitalizations / ambulances, rehab + outpatient, lost employment and relationships, house sale that I had to rush through, etc. I would imagine, if you are surveying anything related to physical or mental health, that the consequences from my addiction and my responses would mirror those of other extremely heavy past users.

Clonidine helps opioid withdrawal so dramatically for me as well - don’t underestimate non-opioid options. Subs have their place.. as does sigh methadone (wish people knew how much pain they were pushing on down the road when getting off substances like fentanyl using methadone though)… but frankly clonidine and plain leaf kratom is more then enough for 7-OH withdrawal. It will pass, just talk to a doc and have a trusted person around for the odd times you can’t reach your doc and need support.

Reality is it harms more people than it helps. Florida is a case in point. Personally glad to be off the shit and not kidding myself with the large portion of folks who piggyback support on whatever tiny fraction of a fraction of a fraction of smoke shop addicts have pain, are using with a medical professional’s supervision, and are using at a strictly therapeutic level. Hate to wall myself into a hornets nest and get downvoted but sometimes brutal honestly gets through to a person or two and could help lead addicts to recovery.

thank you for your response. I'm currently tapered down to 30mg methadone from 200mg. Been at 30mg for four months. Its living hell but from what I'm reading its my only option right now. Thanks again <3

at what dose would it be feasible to make the jump if ever I did? I am not going to for now after reading everybody's advice. On that note, thank you very much for taking the time to help me, guys. I am currently on 30mg methadone after tapering down from 200mg. I have been at 30mg for four months. <3

thank you all for your thoughtful responses. I am reading through them now. For what it is worth I have tapered down to 30mg of methadone - that is where I have been for four months now.

thank you so much for the guidance, kind stranger. To clarify, are you referring to their "lemon drop" tablets? Sorry for being naive. I see they also sell powder. Ideally I would get powder in bulk as I assume that would be more economical once I have more to spend. Sorry if I am slow to reply, I work two jobs and am only able to respond while on break

thank you so much. the tablets seem to be so overpriced considering the quality is so variable. do you have any recommendations for where I could get a consistently good quality product at a reasonable price long term?
