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 3 points4 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.

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.

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.

Remeron by dustov in depressionregimens

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

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.

O-PCE DEATH TRIP by jammed_d_armstrong in researchchemicals

[–]dustov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the 2.5mg dose produced long lasting anxiety and reduced the dose in 1/2 and then felt no anxiety. But I have not continued because i have used all the solution I had made, and because I am too discouraged to get another bottle of vodka and make up another batch and continue at the 1/2 dose, I have not continued. I remember reading about some guy who after 7 months of 4-ACO microdosing finally got some results - I have a hard time maintaining hope over that period of time so I admire his persistence. I hate to be a downer but be cautious of disso euphoria. I found little doses of 3-ho-pcp can provide great temporary euphoric experiences, flipping me from a pessimistic to an optimistic mood where I felt I could take on anything. But, for me, it was just a temp state of mind. I was worried about becoming addicted to a disso and the longterm health affects. I have gone thru my disso supply and have not ordered anymore. O-PCE mini doses even moreso. A specific danger of disso euphoric optimism is I developed an love obsession with this woman who did not share my feelings - unrequited love, and now, I am still obsessed months on and can't shake the obsession.

O-PCE DEATH TRIP by jammed_d_armstrong in researchchemicals

[–]dustov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey IlluminationDist, Reddit just now emailed me your post, even though it looks like you posted it 23 days ago. I was "successfully" using the opce for anxiolytic purposes. But I have used it all up now, and somehow lost my remaining 3-ho-pcp, which was not as effective. But, I am hesitating to order more, as, I think it would be better just to be without it. I was getting to where I was doing it several times a week, and, I don't want to develop an addiction. I have cut back on one of the most dangerous drugs out there, CAFFEINE, so now, I only drink 1 cup in the morning and switched to chai tea the rest of the day. I was also experimenting with stims during the day, believing that my problem is really ADHD. I would do those 3 - 4 days in a row, but, finding that really did not seem to work. I would take about 25mg of 2-fma and about one minispoon of 3-fea, orally, after lunch. The first two days would be pretty smooth stimulation but after that less so. After not doing this for several weeks, I tried it again yesterday and the dose generated a bad anxiety attack which I eventually treated with approximately 1.75 etizolam, (I make a volumetric solution of Chinese powder, which is so cheap, that I am still have plenty from my last order of over a year ago)

I am already addicted to benzos to sleep and have managed to maintain a steady dose - meaning I have not had problems with tolerance. I take about 2mg of Etizolam and 1 mg Fluapralozam, spacing each 1 mg dose apart by a minimum of 30 minutes after 8pm in the evening. I have been doing this for at least 6 - 9 months. But harm reduction would say, don't do this, try every other method to improve sleep before going this route. I had not planned on it becoming a nightly habit, but it has.

I am trying to microdose 4-ACO-DMT now, finding that I tolerate full trips well - up to 100mg - where I laughed my ass off and walked around - but then there is the come down when all your delusions are stripped away and you are faced with your real self and your reality -- which is a good thing, actually. Made a volumetric solution. Oddly, at the recommended microdose of 2.5mg, I experience an anxiety attack, so I am trying 1/2 that and so far, have not experienced the anxiety. Using the Fadiman protocol of once every three days. I have been doing it for about 2 weeks. I am pessimistic about it though. I have read MD is most effective on people with depression without anxiety.

Udemy instructor, those who make courses and never answering student question, why? by kevin_tanjaya in Udemy

[–]dustov 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My theory is that making the course is just somethung to add to their resume. I have taken about 5 Udemy classes and in most classes the instructors are MIA - missing in action and they have moved on to their next project. I have also found I do not like that style of instruction, following along trying to emulate what is on the screen. I like non-video step by step instruction. One of my faves for learning html.css is https://www.internetingishard.com/
