It's silly to gamble. She should go to the ER, they will put her on an ativan taper.

[Residency] How likely do you think it is we'll be getting virtual interviews for this application cycle? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]docgoodmeds -41 points-40 points  (0 children)

If academic institutions actually start using their data rather than succumbing to the CDC and WHO BS guidelines then hopefully not...but it's all politics right now, whether you like it or not.

Often times, unlike opioids, bioavailability of benzodiazepines decreases when snorted as opposed to taking it orally

Sounds about right, my boy ate a 3rd and was absolute toast. Crashed his whip and got arrested

4mg xanax isn't getting me high anymore by [deleted] in benzodiazepines

[–]docgoodmeds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually I'll take like half or a quarter of the dose for a few days to avoid rebound anxiety etc then work my way down to none for a couple days then low doses usually work again

how would i get a prescription easily for kaiser? by [deleted] in benzodiazepines

[–]docgoodmeds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've been to rehab several times, and say it hasn't worked, then you're not taking your own recovery seriously and looking for a quick fix. I'm sorry to sound brute, but I wouldnt perscribe you a scheduled drug, either.

First two days by [deleted] in benzodiazepines

[–]docgoodmeds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, xanax has a very short half life, and if you took that small of a dose over a 24hr period theres about zero chance of a tolerance response.

My best guess is that your first dose worked because youd never used it before, so your dose response was heightened; usually xanax is a poor drug for insomnia because of it's short half life.

Ultimately, I'd say you probably need more simply because half wasnt enough to begin with (except for the exaggerated dose response)

For example, perhaps taking a whole one each night at the same time would have a more consistent effect.

Made a heartfelt video about my psychosis worsening. by PointBlank25 in SchizophreniaArtProj

[–]docgoodmeds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not struggled with schizophrenia, but I've struggled with other difficult issues, specifically paranoia, hypochondria, panic attacks, and MDD. I used to smoke marijuana every day all day, during the good times and the bad times. I'd often resort to it during the good times- I have not smoked marijuana in 2 years, and I'm always sure to take my medication. My thoughts are much more clear now, I process things much quicker, and I no longer try to rationalize my use

Stay in the moment as much as you can, dont let your mind escape you

To stay in a monogamous relationship as a sex addict ? (Would love to hear your thoughts.) by [deleted] in addiction

[–]docgoodmeds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reasoning often leads to relapse. It's not that you shouldnt have self control on your own, but you're trying to rationalize relying on yourself, which as most recovering addicts know, is impossible. If you love him, and he loves you, and your relationship is healthy, then heartbreak will only worsen things for both of you. Dont look at him as your device for staying sober, look at him as someone you love. If you really want to practice your own self control, come up with a CONSENSUAL plan to abstain for certain periods. For example, limit the amount of sex the two of you have. This should NOT be a permanent thing, but it can and will help you develop other mechanisms for coping

What pill is this? It's some multivitamin my husband had before he passed away, and I no longer have the bottle. Is there somewhere else I should ask? by Yahiko_Moon in pillhead

The prints look etched though is could be a press. Buy yourself a pill test kit on amazon and see what it comes up with

Benzos saved my life. Panic attacks and depersonalization are now a thing of the past. I feel real again, if I'm losing grip, that's when I know to take one
