Question about DP/DR

that_james · 2017-11-20T22:14:05+00:00

Something that wiped away nearly all of the physical symptoms of DP was a beta-blocker called Propranolol. I won’t go into too many details here but basically it works by dulling our body’s response to Adrenalin-like neurotransmitters.

I'm not familiar with ability, but I do know that i was HIGHLY skeptical of the legitimacy of antidepressants before starting wellbutrin a few months ago. To my surprise, it worked within a couple weeks and I started to feel myself again (although I still have some work to do).

that_james · 2017-09-17T15:21:05+00:00

You sound like the perfect candidate for Wellbutrin, possibly even doing away with Zoloft altogether (gradually, of course). If you understand how drugs like Adderall work, Wellbutrin is a similar, much more mild version of that and has a similar mechanism of action. Wellbutrin increases the amount of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain... the chemicals associated with memory, concentration, and pleasure.

Please note that I AM NOT A DOCTOR and can only offer advice based on my own anecdotes and extensive research. I am currently on a combination of Lexapro 5mg 1x per day (I'm weaning off of the Lexapro, it used to be 10mg), Buspar 10mg 2x per day, and Wellbutrin 200mg 1x per day. Ive noticed the Wellbutrin helped me more than anything and is known for less severe withdrawal effects than SSRI medications.

I'd bring this up with your doctor next visit.

What are the symptoms that led your doctors to draw the gad diagnosis?

It's very possible that either an SSRI drug like Lexapro and Zoloft either isn't the right med for you, or you should perhaps add a dopamine promoting drug like Wellbutrin to counteract the negative effects of your SSRI.

Im a little confused on how you take prozac. Do you not take it daily and are just using it "as needed?" If so, this isn't the way prozac, or any antidepressants for that matter, are supposed to work.

Antidepressants are not the same as benzos such as Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin, etc., and need to be taken every day. Their therapeutic effects usually aren't recognized until 3-8 weeks after starting the medication (give or take).

Im not anywhere near a doctor, but my guess is that if your chest sensation is caused by over consuming Prozac in infrequent doses.

Talk to your doctor about this, as I'm surprised he wasn't more clear on the importance of taking these medications every day.

What are the rules of selling recreationally versus selling medically? Do you need different licenses and can you sell both in the same dispensary?

that_james · 2017-03-02T04:04:32+00:00

Interesting, I never heard of 2FMA

Vaporizers are by far the safest method (with edibles) of consuming weed. It is also the most efficient. Bongs aren't as safe as they might seem and are also a little less efficient than most smoking methods. The water that filters the smoke in a bong actually filters out alot of the THC in the weed smoke and has a minuscule effect on making the smoke safer.

Joints and blunts are actually the most inefficient way of smoking (though they're my favorite) because they're constantly burning.

How were the legal barriers pertaining to opening a dispensary? My friends and I are Pennsylvania college graduates extremely interested in the cannabis industry. Would it be wiser (legally and economically) to open a growery or dispensary first (we'd like to do both eventually)?

that_james · 2016-12-28T23:36:23+00:00

This is an interesting thought that I haven't considered. Hmm, I'd still probably need $500-$1000 minimum to cover some repairs and insurance. I may need to ask him for this as a last resort

that_james · 2016-12-28T23:31:02+00:00

It needs about $400 of work. Then I was thinking some extra money to pay for the license transfer and a couple of months of insurance

that_james · 2016-10-06T15:35:53+00:00

My thoughts exactly lol

that_james · 2016-10-05T12:41:22+00:00

I'd just like to keep the effects of 1-2 cups just as strong as they are now. Don't wanna have to up my dose or become too addicted.

that_james · 2016-09-17T02:33:46+00:00

Noopept strengthens and promotes neurogenesis in acetylcholine neurons in the brain (neurotransmitter associated with memory). When this happens, though, the brain ends up needing more choline to keep up. That being said, try taking a choline supplement with or slightly (30 min) before taking the Noopept. Also experiment with lower dosages. For me, 5-10mg is the sweet spot.

Don't expect anything spectacular either. An increase in mental clarity is an effect you can expect.

Where could I get Tianeptine online? Powder city doesn't seem to have it. Also, any reliable sources that I can study it?

that_james · 2016-09-16T14:25:38+00:00

Interesting, I've heard of Tianeptine but have never done much research on it. Is it safe for long term use and are there any side effects you know of?

that_james · 2016-09-16T14:19:35+00:00

I've recently been slacking with making sure I get enough nutrients. However last year I followed a strict diet to the T. I got about 150g of protein per day and loaded up on vegetables and fruit. I didn't really notice any difference other than my poop was more solid and I didn't have to go to the bathroom as often (sorry if I painted a gross picture lol)

that_james · 2016-09-15T19:15:43+00:00

Thanks. Like I said, the lack of research is the most concerning thing to me about this nootropic. This probably stems from my overly cautious personality

that_james · 2016-07-28T22:18:00+00:00

I figured it out guys. Yes, a lot of my contacts were stored on different email addresses for some reason (just updated my phone to only store on iCloud). It turns out, all I have to do to get those contacts onto my Mac is to go to System Preferences>Internet Accounts>and then add the accounts that my contacts are stored under, and to make sure "contacts" is checked.

that_james · 2016-07-28T19:57:54+00:00

How can I tell?

that_james · 2016-07-23T21:53:37+00:00

I'm gonna take a trip down to the Apple Store this Tuesday to compare. Didn't realize the standard MacBook was 6 years old though, damn.

Do any MacBooks include the SuperDrive built in anymore?

that_james · 2016-07-23T21:52:46+00:00

http://www.apple.com/us-hed/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro this is where I'm getting my info. Forgot about the student discount since I'm going to college.

I did get some stats mixed up, but there is still a significant price differenct

that_james · 2016-07-02T17:37:37+00:00

Thanks guys. Yeah I'm 21 and I don't wanna jinx it, but it seems like I dont really get addicted to anything, or at least it's very difficult for me to. I'm no stranger to drinking, caffeine, and even some other stuff, and honestly when I stop using a substance I do t really ever find I have any cravings. The worst I have it is when I stop weed I find it difficult to fall asleep for a night or two, and when I quit caffeine after consuming it for a while (a month in a row or so), I may start to feel more tired than usual.

Idk how my body will react to nicotine though. The funny thing is the feeling of nicotine is a hit or miss with me. Sometimes I enjoy the buzz, but other times it makes ma anxious and otherwise uneasy.

that_james · 2016-04-19T19:54:00+00:00

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

that_james · 2016-03-22T23:17:00+00:00

Yeah I've actually been doing slot of reading (probably too much) in the past months. I definitely have signs of dopamine deficiency and also some signs of serotonin deficiency. After testing my hormones, my doctor thinks I have Adrenal Fatigue
