    Methyphenidate withdrawal
    Hey all!

    I've been more of a lurker here than anything but the time has come for me to post.

    Is there anyone out there that can give me some tips on how to deal with Concerta (methylphenidate) withdrawal? I've been on a form of a.d.d medication for half of my life and I've currently run out while on vacation. It's going on three weeks since my last dosage and it seems to be becoming more troublesome as the time goes on. You know the deal; things you wouldn't have noticed before are a complete nuisance, there's no hope of me focusing on a single thought (let alone a conversation), my mood is incredibly low (which I've turned to alcohol to cope with.. I know).

    ANY solutions would be appreciated immensely.

    Current Mood: stressed

    Journalshopping

    Hi guys!

    I'm getting a birthday gift, and I finally have the funds to subscribe to two scientific journals.

    I know that I'm ordering Neuron (neuroscience articles). However, I'm super interested in psychoactives research, and I'm looking for another journal I could subscribe to that deals with this. I have no clue where to start looking. Obviously, toxicology/pharmacology is good for this, but do you know of any other consistently interesting scientific journals?

    I don't mind if it's very technical (I study molecular biology, not neuroscience).

    My other options is checking where all the interesting articles at Erowid originate. :) But I have no doubt there are other people with academic interest in psychoactives on this list!

    Ponstan
    Hello!

    I was recently prescribed Ponstan for severe abdominal pain. It's something I've never heard of before which makes me feel a little iffy about taking it. I was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with it that they could share. I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons.

    Claratin
    Have you ever gotten high from Claratin? I'm not suggesting that you do, I'm just wondering because I used to take that in middle school and I think I did.

    2 Questions guis
    1. Do normal doctor check-up type tests indicate drug levels? I got a blood and yearn test done acouple weeks ago, to check for any general health problems. I smoked meth about a week prior, not knowing I would be going for the tests. Do you think that would show up?

    2. Can you actually have shards of meth come out of your skin? Apparenty some of my friends have had this happen in the past, but I found nothing about it on trusty google. I am pretty sure I've found a piece in my arm, but I don't want to keep picking at it incase it's nothing.

    Yeah, I'm in a shitty mood, and just found out that I got bedbugs, and have the bites everywhere to prove it. FML. Answers would be awsome.

    In high school I used to take adderall all the time and never suffered any side effects.
    I then go for a year or two hardly taking any, and now when I take them the come down is awful.
    I get that empty depressed feeling, on top of it fucking up my sinuses.
    Why is this happening now?

    How can I prevent an awful comedown? (I can't smoke weed, I get super paranoid)
    I heard that drinking a 5 hour energy drink about 3 hours after taking the adderall cane help? Something about the L-amp...? Has anyone tried this?

    Mild and natural for anxiety?
    What gentle things do you guys use to relax? I've had a really stressful few days and I need to relax. I have an anxiety disorder. Weed definitely used to do it for me, especially on the rare occasion that I was seriously down/anxious, but it is illegal here and I'm not willing to take the risk right now.

    I prefer natural things. I like typtophan, lavender, sometimes chamomile...
    Yoga is also somewhat comforting for me, and meditation sometimes is. Sleep helps. Eating saltwater seafood sometimes helps.

    I didn't really like 5-htp because it was a little strong for me (it hit me while I was going up a ladder). I had a homeopathic remedy, but it didn't work. Things like acid are way too strong for me right now; I wouldn't take anything more than a very mild hallucinogen.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks.

    Why would someone black out n faint from smoking weed... like they felt fine and then all of a sudden blacked out.

    maybe i was thinking that maybe my brain at that time was tired from everything I had done the week earlier which was pretty much every drug i can think of

    any idea?

    buspirone
    hey guys, i just got back from the doctor today and he added Buspirone to my daily meds. I take Paxil and Xanax daily for depression and anxiety and was doing fine i think but now i'm taking Buspirone twice a day as well.
    Does anyone have any information on this drug? good stuff, bad stuff, personal stories, ANYTHING?
    I haven't started taking it yet but i'm going to today and after i try and check some stuff out on the net.. just let me know if there's anything significant about Buspirone cuz i don't know anything and now i have a lot of it.

    thanks so much!!

    I just got switched from Vyvanse (which i liked, but my goal was to get adderall) to generic pink adderall, 20 mg. From what i've read online these things are bunk. Ive only taken one to test the waters and it didnt do anything except slightly improved concentration, made me HUNGRY, and totally didnt sleep for like 48 hours despite being exhausted...sooo weird. I'm going to try taking 40 tomorrow just to further test it out. Any personal experiences/opinions? Are the orange ones better? Is name brand adderall the best?

    i want a speedy feeling, i like to feel it kick in, curbed appetite and increased talkativeness..all of which i felt on vyvanse. if only it wasnt so expensive!

    Perscription pills - weight gain/mixing
    I've been perscibed seroquel and prozac, and need some answers.
    Google was extremely unhelpful, by giving me many mixed answers.

    I've heard that both of those drugs cause pretty significant weight gain. I've struggled with bulimia for quite a few years, so this is a big issue for me. Haha, I'm pretty sure that any weight gain would completely undo the antidepressant effect, or make it worse.

    As well, have any of you tried mixing these with your run of the mill 'bad' drugs?
    Mainly e, acid, coke, weed and meth.
    Just incase any of you have had any horrible experiences with combining the two.

    Thanks!

    coke
    does coke really make you skinny? or is it just that the coke makes you not want to eat.

    I have done it many times and i did notice I looked skinnier but I dont remember if I just wasnt eating or if I was doing the coke still eating and looking really skinny

    adderall
    any advice or experience with getting headaches from adderall? (weird headaches, if that's what you could call it.) i also get pretty lightheaded and i'm not taking a very high dose at all or abusing them, so i've ruled that out as to why i'm having weird effects. i've been on the medication for a few years, but this is new to me, and i take the orange instant release tablets.

    on the topic of adderall, have you noticed a difference in pink adderall vs. orange? there is a good article about it here, and i agree with everything in it! interesting at least.

    adderall and xanax.. thoughts on the combo?

    I was visiting a friend at her school last night and she regaled me with a story about someone who did shrooms and ended up with The Neverending Nosebleed, which landed him in the hospital.


    I don't know much about shrooms and I've never done them before...does anyone know why this would happen? According to my pal, the guy had done them before and had no idea why this would happen either. I don't have any knowledge at all of any other substances he may have ingested that night, so if this is too broad of a question I apologize in advance.


    Just curious...any thoughts?

    Adderall & Robotussin

    What would happen if one took adderall and robotussin? 

    If it's a good mix, or rather, not a stupid one, should I take more of one or the other?

    I feel like making a new-age speedball~  Its cheaper, has more of a spiritual side to it, more accessible... and I'm an idiot so feel free to start the judging, thanks :))
