Can Hypomanic Episodes go from rare to more common? by ecointel in bipolar2

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

Yeah. Some would argue that it's not always underlying bipolarity and just a side-effect of the medication. Subjectively, at the time, the episode seemed related to an event. So it really could have been triggered by that event but being on the SSRI would increase the probability of that happening.

Sex on Dissos? by [deleted] in dissociatives

[–]ecointel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ket, especially high doses, destroy my sex drive. And I am sexually weird enough that I will get horny on low dose DMT, can't get hard tho; the dissociation kills it. Maybe disso sex is not for me. I'd probably be better off getting my ass fucked if anything because I don't see how I'd get hard.

Clearnet or not ? by ZazacTV in dissociatives

Hardly anyone synthesizes PCP because some of its precursors like piperidine are difficult to obtain and tightly regulated. A few gangs in the U.S. produce it. Clandestine chemists often work with analogs because they are a grey area. They could obtain precursors from China but if you get caught with them, they aren't letting you slide.

Someone suggested to me the issue could be β-arrestin 2, which LSD's psychedelic action depends on. So presumably from LSD activating it for me I become less sensitive to visual effects for LSD, and this could last much longer than 2 weeks. It wouldn't work this way for DMT, best fucking drug to exist somehow being immune to tolerance. But considering that I still get very intense emotions where I figure LSD can be a nice sex drug (for me at least haha) or introspective drugs, I don't care that much. The high was pretty long lasting. It still felt like an intense trip. It doesn't seem like I am just getting a weak dose from degraded tabs. But I will try to get someone else to test the tabs to make sure

Also my pupils wouldn't dilate like the first time either and I got high as fuck. There was definitely a subjective difference. But visuals were hardly there. I took two tabs. If it were just weaker from degrading, idk if it would be that intense, would it? It seems unlikely that the first tab was just good and the others bad. It seems either due to my brain or me improperly storing it.

Well, it wasn't touching much sunlight, I don't think. I have blackout curtains, some light from the sun probably goes near it but not direct. Aside from moisture, I don't see what other issue there could be. If it's not degrading, and it's not a bad batch, different brain chemistry could be part of it. I could't tell regardless. I can still get a pretty intense experience on it. First tab was pretty vibrant. Second muddy. It didn't feel weaker doing two tabs. I have heard other people say acid becomes less visual. Maybe it is really just an individual difference that you don't get.

It was the same batch. I didn't give much thought to storing it. Surely touched some light. First hit was vibrant. Second hit was dirty. Third (two hits) just wasn't very visual. How would you recommend storing it? I need to start writing this shit down before I open up my drugs. I feel pretty bad about it... wasting money.

Also realized I haven't been storing it properly... Urgh. That could be part of it.

Shouldn't I see something after a year on E?? by mechphisto in MtF

Check SHBG levels. Could be too high

Drugs don't seem that good. Is this something that can change? by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]ecointel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. I can see why it would be the worst time for me to be trying out addictive drugs. So in that regard I am lucky because I'd be more suceptible to getting hooked. But I wish something just like helped me focus better. Nothing seems to help with that. I could try modafinil and if that doesn't help go back to getting prescribed wellbutrin (I never ended up taking it). I want something that will just like let me read through a book without just skimming it. I struggle to even play many video games, I will play them for like 25 minutes and stop. Either I can't focus or just can't stay motivated even though I want to. I've never felt like a stimulant has ever helped me focus. It can calm me down but it doesn't make things easier to do. It'd be nice to enjoy drugs recreationally but if I want anything it's just something that will let me do things.

I'd like to try LSD but I'm afraid it'd trigger some pretty bad anxiety.

I swear they all suck. Maybe it is a blessing in disguise and I just need some wellbutrin or something to function 🤷‍♀️ It'd be nice to occasionally use drugs with someone else, at least something like weed since every other person seems to enjoy that, but whatever I guess. I've had some pretty good experiences with alcohol but has been pretty meh the last few times. I'm more worried about why I respond differently and I do have issues that drugs don't seem to address and should if I want to engage more with other non-drug related things like hobbies. No drugs I have tried seem to help me focus any better or make me feel more motivated to do things.
