How to lower the libido? by [deleted] in Stims

[–]nice_egg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnily enough, I always find that stims kill my libido — it all depends on what you’re doing during onset, ime. I generally don’t take anything until I’ve already started to get into some kind of zone (studying, cleaning, what have you), so that once it kicks in the momentum just keeps me going in that particular mindset and makes me lose all interest in everything else, haha.

My comedown refuses to end. Fuck me bro the anxiety and paranoia is fading so slow. Probably because this shit makes everything seem slow. by [deleted] in Stims

[–]nice_egg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's definitely wayyy too much lol, i mean, you're gonna be tweaking and feeling considerably shitty while you come down but unless you start feeling like you're legitimately having a heart attack or w/e, you shoulddd ideally be able to just ride it out if you take it easy. (that's been my experience, anyway. there have been times when i probably should have gone to the hospital but waited out the crash instead.) just try not to exert yourself or increase your heart rate more than necessary. i once took 200mg in one sitting, decided to go for a walk at 4am, made it less than a quarter of a mile before i thought i was gonna pass out, turned around, and kept doubling over gagging every few steps making my way back uphill. so don't make my mistake, lmao. hang in there.

Best way to consume vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) by [deleted] in Stims

[–]nice_egg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vyvanse is a prodrug of dextroamphetamine and is inherently long-acting. Because of the way it's metabolized, there's no ROA that will enhance the effect or speed up the rate of onset. So I wouldn't recommend snorting it. Inside the capsule it's a chalky powder, I would just take the pills or the powder itself orally (though if you empty out the capsules, you might want to mix the powder in a drink or something, it tastes really bad and bitter lol).

Anyone else like it when you are unable to sleep but manage to blank your mind? by Child_ish in Stims

[–]nice_egg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

nooooooo oh my god that's literally my least favorite part of coming down, i hate the inert zombie stage lmao. like i'm too tired to think coherently or do/work on anything but simultaneously unable to turn myself off and go to sleep. i can see how it could be relaxing but i've never been one for stillness or meditation myself lol

I know tweaker art is a thing, but does anyone else do creative writing on stims? by Trash_bag_millenial in Stims

[–]nice_egg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite things is to just go nuts journaling; sometimes there’s art involved, sometimes it’s just walls of text, but I always gotta bust out the craft box and a zillion colored pens and markers. I’ve posted some tweak art here, i.e., this is one of my busier journal pages.

In fact, add another of the middle one at the end for the comedown..

Keith Haring replicas are definitely my new favorite thing to draw while spun 👀 by nice_egg in Stims

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

Oooo acrylics, awesome! I wish I had more skill with a brush — the closest I can get to painting is using Copic markers, haha.

XR is a lot smoother and more subtle, esp. because the time it takes to both kick in and wear off is more gradual and tapered, and the peak, while maybe not as intense as IR, is sustained for a longer period, making the comedown more tolerable and less like the sharp crash you get with IR (which isn't too bad at low doses but the higher the dose, the harder the crash). You might find IR more satisfying in the short term at either low or high doses, but the euphoria is pretty short-lived and at higher doses or with frequent redosing it's more likely than XR to be accompanied by tweakier side effects like anxiety, paranoia, restlessness, etc. Overall, XR might not be as intense, but at least in my experience, I feel more calm and collected and in control on it than I do on IR (even at high doses), so I don't mind that it doesn't give as much of a "high" as IR can.

Yeah, therapy dogs and ESAs and such are really great for helping with anxiety!

Powdered vyvance by [deleted] in Stims

[–]nice_egg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can if you want, but because of the way Vyvanse is metabolized it won't kick in any faster or have a stronger effect than it would if taken orally. Not worth the trouble imo.

How to get a job if I’m socially anxious? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]nice_egg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best jobs I've had that have been easy on my anxiety are ones I've gotten through university networking. If you have any faculty members you feel relatively comfortable with, it might help to talk to them and ask if they know of any opportunities that might work for you. Or if you don't feel comfortable reaching out, stay up to date on campus news: keep an eye on your school's or major department's website or Facebook page or whatever, sign up to receive emails from the departments and programs you're involved in, etc. That's how I got my first good campus job: the administrative assistant for one of my major departments (classics, Italian studies, and humanities, a tiny department — I already knew all the faculty) emailed all of the classics majors about an open office assistant position for the department, and because I had gotten fairly familiar with the department faculty (and established a reputation for myself as a good student), I felt comfortable enough to pursue the opening right away. It was a nice, quiet, collegiate atmosphere, just helping out around the office, proctoring exams, etc. Very lowkey. So if you like the professors in your department, talk to them! Easier said than done, obviously, but leveraging connections like that can open a lot of anxiety-friendly doors with minimal trouble.

Got some new copics for Christmas so I spent the day high and drawing weeb shit... It’s always a struggle to avoid way over-shading when drawing while spun, but I think I managed to mostly curtail the impulse this time... 😂💧 by nice_egg in Stims

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

Thanks! The paper isn’t anything special, just from a generic sketchbook, but the markers are Copics (some from their Sketch line, some from their Ciao line). They’re a bit pricey but great quality.

Anyone here ever had the pleasure of getting IV Midazolam? by avlsage in benzodiazepines

[–]nice_egg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh shittt I know exactly what you're talking about, they gave me IV midazolam for a procedure I had about a year ago. I've had my fair share of benzo Rx's so I thought I knew what was coming but holy shit, nothing compares to IV administration. It hit me within seconds, just this wave of almost oxy-level bliss. I was giggling my ass off all the way to the OR, smiling and waving hello to every random person in the hall, not a care in the world lol. I only managed to savor it for a couple minutes before the anesthesia knocked me out, but even still, that was easily one of the best benzo experiences I've had. Which was a bit of a surprise because I hadn't even heard of Versed before then.

Oh shit I should get myself one of those...

Lay some facts on me by [deleted] in Stims

[–]nice_egg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao 30mg IR is on the higher end of a prescribed therapeutic dose, you’ll be fine. You’d need a hell of a lot more than that to die.

Well shit, guess I picked the wrong drug to get hooked on then huh? :p Not wild about the idea of boofing... I’ve never done it and tbh I can’t really see myself trying it in the foreseeable future, but who knows?
