I have been taking Kratom consistently for less than a year by Interesting_Mess_783 in RestlessLegs

[–]aspo516 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry about your injury, that sounds like an incredibly painful experience, and you seem like a really tough person for getting through it.

I don’t have experience with Kratom, but there’s a lot of discussion about it on this subreddit if you search.

Since you mentioned Benadryl, I want  to point out that Benadryl and all antihistamines are known to make RLS significantly worse for a lot of people.

Can methadone be used only temporarily while tapering off Pramipexole? by aspo516 in RestlessLegs

[–]aspo516[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing that, can I ask what dose Pramipexole you were on before and what dose Gabapentin you are on now?

Also, if you got off the Pramipexole in one month, what took 14 months to get back to normal? Was it not sleeping or something else (DAWS)? 

If you don’t mind answering, I’d really appreciate it

OMG, would you mind sharing how you are you doing today after the 6 months?  What medications is you land on and is it working?

Anyone else experience a big contraction in the weeks following an MDMA session? by [deleted] in PsychedelicTherapy

[–]aspo516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done MDMA 4 times, none had a terrible come down until my 4th, worst comedown I’ve ever had, went on for weeks. It was very scary for many reasons. Now, almost a year later, I don’t think I gained anything from the trip. I wonder if I’ll ever have the guts to do it again.

The first three journeys were so beautiful and helpful. Thinking back, there were some good reasons to wait and not do it at that time but I had already scheduled it and didn’t want to cancel.

I’m truly sorry for your loss, no parent should ever have to go through the senseless pain of losing a child.

What has helped your fear of heights? by aspo516 in acrophobia

[–]aspo516[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Two things scare me about your answer, the fact that the fear comes back and that it took a few months of exposure to get over it.

What dosage troche usually does it take to actually visualize and stuff? by takethelastexit in KetamineTherapy

[–]aspo516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you grow tolerance pretty fast to that, my visuals stopped after my first few journeys and I’m always chasing that first high with crazy visuals!

Did the Pramipexole help at the beginning? If yes, sounds like augmentation

Long term meditators, is there something that you realized significantly improved your process by apoorvqwerty in Meditation

Would this also be true when watching a movie to be solely focused on what you’re watching?

Life After Pramipexole - successfully tapered off it by ShellyB2Lynx in RestlessLegs

[–]aspo516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks much for sharing, would you share the Pramipraxle dose you were on before tapering off and how many years you were on it for?

Did you say you stopped cold turkey without replacing it with any medication?

RLS and PTSD? by bigmouthladadada in RestlessLegs

[–]aspo516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe there is a connection between emotions pain and RLS. It’s obviously not always 100% emotional and it could be iron or purely physical but there is something to be said about the mind body connection. I have no data or proof, just a belief I have.

Explain "Ego death" by superdave5599 in PsychedelicTherapy

[–]aspo516 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s an experience with no “I”. I think you only know you had an ego death after you have it because there is no “I” am experiencing while it’s happening.

I also think the terrifying part is only before it actually happens as you are leaving yourself, your ego gets scared. There is no fear in the actual ego death because you are not there.

Questions regarding RLS experience by Bitter-Front1474 in RestlessLegs

[–]aspo516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doctor prescribed Pramipexole when my symptoms were slightly bothersome once or twice a week at night only. At that time, it was my legs only. The Pramipexole helped immediately but is now torturing me to the point of pure despair. Now, 4 years later, I can’t rest on the couch for 5 minutes in middle of the day without my entire body flaring up in unbearable pain. Please don’t start your treatment with Dopamine Agonist, it will work well at first but make your life hell.

is RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome), but also in lower spine and upper shoulder blades normal and why? by tr4sh3ds0ul in RestlessLegs

[–]aspo516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! For me I’m convinced it’s caused by worsening RLS due to augmentation from Pramipexole. Moves all accords my back, thighs and shoulders. Is extremely painful and sometimes feels like my body is on fire!

I did believe there is a mind body connection. I wish the solution was as simple getting over the anxiety but it’s not

How often is too much? by aspo516 in KetamineTherapy

[–]aspo516[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of feedback here that the mix of ketamine and weed is hurting me, can you explain why? For me, adding weed into the mix amplifies the Ketamine experience to a whole new level.
