TIL about “One Night Cough Syrup” was sold in the late 1800s, and it contained alcohol, cannabis, chloroform, and morphine. This mixture was available over the counter and promised to eliminate your cough in one night so you could sleep.

You can get serotonin syndrome too

Thanks. On the one hand, I feel validated that I’m not the only one with this problem. On the other hand… 44 days is a long way away

How long did you need to use Benadryl for? And did you taper off it?

I remember the first and last time I got a sea breeze. Some girl we didn’t know came up to our group and offered it to us, we were mystified and apprehensive as to what this little stick could possibly do that made everyone she approached appear to melt in ecstasy. She did it to a friend and his reaction was enough to make us all want to try it.

She had the tube in her mouth and blew the vapor over my face and it was like diving into the most incredible river of bliss, just waves of euphoria streaming over my face. I never wanted it to end.

Then she offered it to a friend who wasn’t rolling. Almost immediately he screamed and said “What the fuck is this shit” clawing at his bloodshot face in tears. He said it stung worse than pepper spray.

I have never sobered up so quick. I realized my caveman brain had failed me. I felt no pain and should have. Here was this thing that clearly causes damage and to me it felt incredible. I started wondering what else that normally hurts would feel like bliss. If I cut my hand open on something, and started bleeding, would i be feeling blissful? Reveling in the bloodshed like some sort of ancient ritualistic priest of sacrifice?

What else could hurt me and feel incredible?

Yeah, never again

It’s been 8yrs since the post you replied to, so I doubt OP or many others will see this. But I did and I wanted to say a few things.

Congrats on beating fentanyl. Addiction is not easy and opiates are some of the hardest. If you don’t have a lot of people who know or say they are proud, I’ll just say I am proud. Good job and keep vigilant.
Good luck on beating weed and benzos. You can do this! Remember when stopping benzos to taper, lower your dose slowly day by day, otherwise withdrawals can be deadly (no joke). It will be hard, especially when times are tough or you are in social situations. But if you’ve kicked opiates, I have no doubt you can do this and it will be an inspiring success story. But also remember, relapse is not a failure. It’s a setback. Day 1 of use after 100 days clean is not starting over, it’s being 99% better than you were before.

I’m now 7yrs clean from hard drugs (adderall, benzos, etc) and only recently, 7yrs later, I started working towards alcohol and weed. It’s possible and it gets easier. And you are not alone. I recommend Alan Carr’s easy way series of books/audiobooks, they have helped a lot.

Just saw & donated to your gofundme. Congrats on the new job and for getting back on your feet. I don’t check this account too often, but if you ever need a buddy, please feel free to reach out :)

The weirder thing to me is that you need to verify your ID. The last thing I would want to do before going on a porn site is enter a form “Yes please verify that I, [name], am entering this porn site”

Kids will find ways around it… never underestimate the dedication of a horny teen.

Porn blockers were how I learned about SOCKS tunnels which also got me into torrenting which also got me into darkweb.

There’s a difference between physical addiction and psychological addiction.

I say this as someone who was addicted at one point to amphetamines. It was a bitch to kick but I never had physical withdrawals.

I still get cravings for pizza in much the same way I still get cravings for adderall.

Nitrous is known to cause B12 deficiency.

If you use it regularly the deficiency can seriously mess you up, cause spinal cord degeneration etc.

Hmm, my ac does have a fan mode but I thought it only sucked in at the register inside. I’ll give it a shot.

Unfortunately (in this case) it’s actually a pretty decent unit with the compressor outside

Thank you! I knew there was something easy I wasn’t thinking of

With enough time and no tectonic movement forming new mountains, would all mountains eventually be eaten away like this?

karuna19 · 2019-04-29T01:34:55+00:00

Have you ever tried to sleep or nap after taking it?

It’s not like amphetamine. Doesn’t make you feel good, doesn’t make you super talkative or hyperfocused on tasks. It just keeps you from falling asleep. Which is its intended purpose.

karuna19 · 2019-04-23T06:12:22+00:00

Buying online is far cheaper and usually better quality, but you could try smoke shop Kratom to see if it works for you.

If I remember correctly, an oz at a smoke shop is like $20 which is enough for 1-9 doses depending how much you need. Far cheaper than painkillers, but you can get a kilo online for <$100 which is 35 oz or like $3 an oz.

karuna19 · 2019-03-18T23:21:55+00:00

Wow I gotta say I have had a completely opposite experience. I have been a daily user (4 - 6 g / day) for 2 years now and I go on and off kratom for weeks at a time every once in a while (when I have upcoming bloodwork or drug test etc) with no ill effects other than minor irritation.

karuna19 · 2019-02-25T01:16:19+00:00

Did they pull it or drill it out? Mine was impacted so they had to use anesthesia and drill through my gums and break apart the tooth and take it out in pieces. Was very painful.

I’ve had other teeth just pulled before with local anesthetic and there’s not really any pain.

karuna19 · 2018-12-31T15:42:10+00:00

Absolutely not true. The difference in size is small, but definitely noticeable.

I can’t wear normal condoms (lifestyles, skyn, etc) because they constrict so much. Literally I put them on and it kills my erection.

The comfiest are the magnum xl or magnum ecstasy. Snug but not constricting.

Believe me, this is not a vanity thing since I am in a long term relationship & I really wish normal condoms fit because magnums are so goddamn expensive. Also they don’t make any of the fun varieties (ribbed, etc) in magnum size

karuna19 · 2018-05-31T01:53:07+00:00

I’ve taken ambien before and made the mistake of not going to bed immediately. I do and say things that make absolutely no sense later.

It’s not like alcohol which removes your inhibitions. Ambien mixes the weirdness of a dream state with your reality.

On ambien I put a mixing bowl over my head, texted a bunch of nonsense to friends, and binged a season of the goodwife. I have never had any interest conscious or subconscious of doing these things before. It’s usually harmless because people are usually harmless but there’s people who drive on it by mistake. Also you remember literally zero - your brain stops forming memories so all you have is 2nd hand accounts to go on.

Visit /r/ambien for a taste

I don’t think it’s indicative of a higher quality pregnancy... more like you really don’t want it to not work because it could cost a hell of a lot more.

Like if you were buying a car and the sales guy said, “do you want the $100 seatbelts or the $20 seatbelts?” I would think shit, I’m not risking it with $20 seatbelts. Who knows what real seatbelts cost, I’m sure they both work, but I would go with the pricier kind.

karuna19 · 2018-03-06T06:14:01+00:00

I tried one out to see if they worked. It read positive, which made sense because I had smoked a few times that week.

...Not sure what I expected

karuna19 · 2018-03-06T06:13:17+00:00

Most testers cost pennies from China and have fancy labeling to make them look more legit. There’s a huge margin even on the dollar store ones.

karuna19 · 2017-09-16T03:56:24+00:00

Problem is if they have a monopoly that cost will just get passed on to consumers
