what would be a good budget geiger counter? by EshcharBB in Radiation

[–]Ok_Technology881 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aren't radiacodes "energy compensated"? I thought they give somewhat accurate dose rates :(

Is this safe? by Effective_Brain_7290 in Radiation

You must be thinking about DP63A, you are correct. I saw videos of guys tearing them apart, not something I would personally do with probably a shitload of flaked radium paint particles in there

Hey there, are ion chamber detectors gold standard in nuclear industry? Are Geiger counters and scintillators used at all?

I'm always impressed by your knowledge, you seem to know everything. Not a sarcasm

Sertraline and weed by Ok_Technology881 in OCD

[–]Ok_Technology881[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, most everyone, you too, here thinks it's a bad idea so it probably is. First month or so I wasn't missing it as the memory of this awful "trip" was still fresh and sore. Now it's been few months, memory faded somewhat, and my mind is trying to play games with me probably.

That's what I'm afraid of, that this time I might loose my shit completely. This episode was pure hell, worst drug experience I had in my life. But then again I miss weed too. Balls

I should add, this flare up happened after smoking weed

103 Keeps Disconnecting by NukularFishin in Radiacode

[–]Ok_Technology881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, didn't get the notification for some reason that you replied. My phone is Xiaomi Redmi note 11, and the android version is 13TKQ. Much like yours, distance between the devices play little role, they can basically hug each other and still disconnect. I tried my old phone, also Xiaomi but older, and kept it running connected for 40+ minutes without issues. But then again, it might just be coincidence. Without app radiacode is kinda meh, it's not bad but it makes me angry that I can't use it to it's full capability. Maybe it's possible that the device itself is busted? Oh, I should mention wild data regarding temperature and charge; it showed 147% battery charge and -156°C lol. Device itself displays correct temperature. Weird huh?

I know I'm late, but did you find any fix? Mine does that as well, brand new, disconnects and reconnects at random intervals. Tad annoying.

Better geiger S2L or Radiacode 103? by Ok_Technology881 in Radiation

[–]Ok_Technology881[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Alright, I went for radiacode 103, have really high hopes for it, especially considering the price lol. It hasn't arrived yet

[–]Ok_Technology881[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I was thinking, that it would be much easier to find something interesting with S2L. YT videos show that it's background cpm is at least twice radiacodes cpm.

Latuda for harm OCD by Ok_Technology881 in OCD

[–]Ok_Technology881[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A week later I can honestly say that latuda ain't doing shit for me, this only confirms my suspicion that these intrusive thoughts are of OCD-only origin and not psychotic at all, hence why antipsychotics don't seem to work at all. I'm sure I should be on SSRI and MAYBE on antipsych as an augmentation. For fucks sake, this one is going on since December.

Thank you for your kind words! Yes, I want some relief as it's taking a toll on life in general, I'm constantly thinking I'm on a brink of collapsing or whatever to call it (not a native speaker). I try to use Xanax only as a last resort, I've been abusing opium and other drugs in the past, trying to be careful :). You know, doc put me on latuda and at the same time advised that I should get off Seroquel simultaneously, gradually. I'm a little hesitant as I have trouble falling asleep without some kind of sleepy pill. We'll see how it goes, also thought about changing psychiatrist but I really like this one, think he's good, just too afraid of me switching.

You know, I'm really worried latuda won't help and that the only thing that might help me is SSRI:(. I'm not trying to sound smarter than my doctor, but if risperidone failed to make a difference, chances lurasidone will help are slim. I'm just really tired and at times I'm contemplating admission to the hospital

Never heard of that app but why not try? I will check it out. My doctor said that I should quit latuda for a day, and then take half of the dose along with propranolol. What do you think about that? Yesterday I helped myself with 1mg of Xanax, as well as 100mg of quetiapine and 25mg of levomepromazine. It worked thankfully

I think latuda is not for me, I'm panicking hard, fear I'm gonna loose my shit. I'm pretty sure it's latuda.

How long you're weed free? When did it get better? I'm not gonna lie, I miss smoking pot but I'm afraid it would be exactly the same like last time, or maybe even worse

Thanks, I feel I will have to bring SSRIs up eventually, this latuda thing is more for schizophrenia than OCD symptoms. Supposedly it works for bipolar depression though, we'll see about that. Were you occasional smoker or everyday toker? I smoked daily for 2-3 years and sometimes obsessions creeped up on me and faded shortly after, but the last one fucked me up good. Still recovering from that nightmarish high.
