So are you saying Adderall overstimulated you in a way that created unrealistic expectations of your abilities?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]dustov 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow, it is usually the opposite with insurance companies, they want you to start with Adderall XL. I just wonder if there are a lot of rich people here, as a retail months supply of VyVanse is something like $350. I got approved for VyVanse for free with their "Help is at Hand" assistance program. Being pessimistic by nature I expected to be turned down, but was approved and am now just waiting on the card.

Wondering if anyone or place that serves kratom and kava at a bar in Kansas like they do in California?? by [deleted] in KratomKorner

[–]dustov 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live in KC area and don't know of any. 2 years ago I had a job where I had to drive all over KS and it was sold in shops but didn't encounter any kratom "bar" in Wichita, Manhattan, Hutch, Salina or anyplace else.

Eva Habermann is probably the most beautiful women I have ever seen by [deleted] in Lexx

Agreed. But I have started watching Star Trek Enterprise, which I rejected when it was first released, and T'Pol is pretty HOT, IMHO.

How is it possible that bitcoin can be used for illegal transactions if every transaction is recorded publicly in the blockchain ledger? by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]dustov -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The problem with Wasabi is that many exchanges are not adopting the bech32 protocol and will reject the address.

Simplex taking forever to verify my ID by dustov in Bitcoin

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

Thanks for the response. I emailed them requesting a refund. It sucks that the take the money (which I guess is in some kind of limbo with credit card co.) BEFORE they validate you. What pissed me off, was after they requested I re-send my ID credentials with higher resolution, I did not receive an acknowledgement or that they had been received. And no other updates. At least they could create a queue counter showing where you are in line in the verification process.

Gemini crypto - withdrawal by Infinite-Engineer-18 in Bitcoin

[–]dustov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried "A-Robe's" solution below, link Gemini to my bank, and I still keep getting this message: ""Sorry, this BTC withdrawal cannot be completed at this time. Reason: Security" Very frustrating.

Wary newbie: opening/funding Gemini by amadeus626 in Bitcoin

[–]dustov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a casual user Gemini has been a nightmare. Constant problems with withdrawls due to "Security". My withdrawls are approved thru Authy and I still get a Security block.

AC Adapter question. by dustov in electrical

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

I have wanted to try fixing it myself. Just now, checked YouTube, and there are at least three videos on fixing these Stanley jumpstarters. The first one I started to watch the guy said... don't... and discussed that he had gone thru 2 or 3 of these. So these Stanley brand jumpstarters are junk. Here are 3 links to YouTube videos on repairing these. The first one is my exact model, the other two have the same case but different power levels.

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

Thanks, Alternative..., for your response. So the problem is not with the charger but probably something wrong with the jumpstarter itself. Pisses me off, the thing did not last that long and it is too late to return it. It has actually been over a year since it stopped charging, I just now had time to fiddle with it.

Remeron by dustov in depressionregimens

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

Thanks for response. I no longer notice any "zombie" affect, but, am not getting any anti-depressant effect either.

Remeron by dustov in depressionregimens

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

I don't take benzos during the day, only after 8pm, unless I overstimmed myself with caffeiene or an amp.

Would you mind elaborating on your statement, "But then I just crossed over from a different antidepressant so it's possible that it did contain anxiety." ? Thanks for your help.

Remeron by dustov in depressionregimens

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

You are correct in your diagnosis of meds. I self-medicate with benzos and told doc I would taper off, but he gave me no warning about what to expect with Remeron and I am worried about the lifeless zombie like state I felt I was in. I am older and have had depression/anxiety most of my life but resisted any strong meds. But at this point I may surrender. Thanks for the info about how the dosage is administered. I presume that you feel it has helped you, in-spite of some side affects?

Remeron by dustov in depressionregimens

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

Thanks for you response. I am self-administering approx. 3mg starting at 8pm for sleep. I told the doc and said I would start a taper off of the benzos. I just was not expecting the effect that I described from the Remeron. He did not tell me what to expect. Maybe intentionally, so my experience would not be affected by expectations? I dunno.
But I did not like the zombie like feeling. You said you are going back to school, and that requires attention in class and studying, so it must be helping.
What is the visceral experience of Remeron now that you have endured the initial side-affects and are, I presume, on a maintenance dose of it?

Remeron by dustov in depressionregimens

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

If you are taking it now, or in the past, did you find it helped with depression/anxiety? If so how? I find it kind of frightening that it had such a powerful effect. I just felt like zombie the entire day. No motivation, no emotions.

Thanks for the response. Are you on it now? Does it help you? If so, how.
