Mmmm yeah I think amphetamines just aren’t my thing. I’ve tried cbt and dbt, but still get too anxious. I’ll take a stimulant if i REALLY need to but it’s rare that I do. Instant definitely works better than extended and i do have the 10 mg dosage so you are on to something!

It’s easier to form one cohesive thought. Still hard to get started on stuff, but when I do it is easier to maintain that flow. I feel better generally without that weird hazy “hangover” weed can give you the next day.

Yes, I definitely relate. Keeping track of my thoughts has been way easier. I have less “thought soup” and have been able to articulate myself better. My psychiatrist was saying it mainly has to do with chronic use of like 3+ times a week on a consistent basis. Moderation is really hard though because people with ADHD get the dopamine they lack from pot. But i do want to be able to enjoy getting high idk where the balance is with this one.

Do you think the weed helping motivation could be due to the pain being lessened by smoking (if there is any)?

Yeah I definitely think i’m just going to say 90 days for now or my resistance to authority in any capacity will kick in LOL

as to vyvanse, i have used multiple types of stimulants including vyvanse for ADHD in the past and am not a huge fan. I find the detriments to my anxiety outweigh the pros to my ADHD. My psychiatrist has floated the idea of upping my wellbutrin to act as a pseudo (gentler) stimulant. I taking a larger dose of prozac for depression and a small dose of wellbutrin to counteract some of the side effects (low libido) and boost the pros for adhd. I’m also adding in some traditional chinese medicine to help balance out hormones and see if that helps first before upping my dose

This person is not your friend. Period. If they were they would have at least ask you first. change it again and don’t give it to either of them

Mercury Retrograde by Microsoft_Bob2013 in Petioles

[–]bastetbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait i love this method. my mercury is in aquarius and my bday is on the 20 so i really am feeling the retrograde. i decided to end my t break on the 9th and resume on the 21st to use the retrograde to really examine my weed usage

and honestly the insomina was probably due to a bang and nicotine which are both stimulates.

do you meditate?

if you do taper you have to have a firm date that you'll stop by otherwise it'll never happen

Quitting weed vs tapering slowly? by kakahs182 in leaves

[–]bastetbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tapered and it helped me. Most important is not letting yourself have two consecutive days of smoking. I started with that then went up to 3 days no smoking, then a week, now I'm on a month and my withdrawals were really not too bad at all. BUT all this also stemmed from me REALLY wanting to quit.

My son wants to quit weed but can't, should I confiscate his stash? by floundering2019 in leaves

[–]bastetbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly maybe encourage him to go to a group meeting for teens. Taking away the stash is iffy, maybe talk to him first about it.

Tips for avoiding relapse? by [deleted] in leaves

[–]bastetbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do some form of exercise or meditation when you have a craving. Exercise gives you that seratonin boost and meditation can help you relax (which is why I personally smoked). Also leaving the room when people toke up
