I suffer from insomnia, sleep apnea and shift work sleep disorder. As you can imagine my nervous system and brain are fried and I deal with some pretty heavy fatigue.

I also have CPTSD so I'm prescribed venlaflaxine, mirtazapine and prazosin along with 2 other tablets for high blood pressure. And I occasionally get a script for valium from my doctor.

Over the last year I've picked up a rather expensive amphetamine habit. I'm seeing my psychiatrist some time in the next few months to review medication and look at a possible adult diagnosis of ADHD, as my son was diagnosed last year.

I'm wondering if anybody else has had similar issues and how you cope? Both chemical and healthy coping mechanisms are fine.

 
Yes, are you taking the correct amount of valium that is prescribed? 
 

Also how bad is your amph habit? 
 

anything over 60 mg has diminishing returns and is dumb its just your brain. 
 

So if your on 200 mg a day ... cut to 100 then 60 and take some rest days :)

 
Yup I don't go overboard on the valium. 50 5mg tabs usually last a couple of months.

As for the uppers. Roughly 1pt so 100mg on my 12hr shift days and I try not to use on my days off.

I had last week off due to roster changes and didn't use amps at all except for some mdma on Saturday night. Felt extremely refreshed when I came back yesterday and when my dealer packed me a complimentary bowl the gear hit a lot smoother and I didn't wake up feeling scattered today, so the break did me a lot of good.

 
Yes the off days can be tough also but its part of being normal YOUR not a robot lol on amphs its so hard to connect with other people when your so overly focused on other things

My housemate has a script, but hypnotics aren't easy to get in Australia. I bought some zopiclone a while back which helped immensely.

None of these medication help REM sleep

but will put you to sleep 

which is better than no sleep haha

I'm trying to get my doctor to get me on valium 

 
Yeah gotta keep that balance and practice harm reduction!

They zonk you much like cannabis but unfortunately don't improve the REM quality which sucks. I'm also using melatonin as per my doctors suggestion which helps when I'm sleeping at night but not during the day when I have work that night.

Oh I'm well aware, haha.

Personally not a fan of seroquel. Tried once and it floored me but might not hurt to try again. Currently the only extra I'm using is cannabis until I get my next benzo script.

Were you on a higher dose? Higher doses have antipsychotic effects where the lower doses will just sedate you and you wont produce any dopamine and serotonin that will keep you awake

 
Wasn't prescribed and I can't recall the dose. A mate gave me one tablet to see if it helped. Definitely might be worth looking into. I'll mention sedatives to the psychiatrist since that's the only way to get anything strong, legally at least, here.

Also ambien might not be a bad idea but its not REM sleep

I agree with ambien. It is the only thing that actually makes me feel like I slept. I've tried almost everything. The only bad part is it will make you sleepwalk. I've woke to find messes in the kitchen that I dont remember anything about. And I was told I drove my car once. So now I lock my keys in a lock box. Just dont drink a lot of alcohol when you take it.

It doesn't make me sleepwalk, but the only way I can "legally" get anything stronger than melatonin or sleeping antihistamines in Australia is through a psychiatrist and mine keeps rejecting my referrals because I don't qualify for financial hardship because I have a full time job. Never mind the fact I currently don't have a single dollar to my name. This country is fucked.

  8. J @ jjjjjjjjj: Happy Friday everyone! And happy Gucci Mane day (10/17)!
  9. O @ ochemdim: @xenxra don’t sweat it, that’s part of investing, especially crypț0. Never invest (or bet) more than you can afford to lose, that’s rule #1. Also, if someone is right most of the time like you, that’s unusual and it’s awesome you’re willing to share with us. Please keep the recommendations coming!
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: also, to that effect, i'm a bit behind on the whole C/R situation, that being said - this is the first time in 16 months that the market pulled back and C did not DM me on telegram about it.
  11. xenxra @ xenxra: i want to apologize to the people on here for my calls about the market moving up three days before the crash. the crash we had was essentially a black swan (i.e. an accident) and as is the very nature of "accidents", they usually cannot be accounted for beforehand. a LOT of people got wiped out on that move but I do think we still push for new highs across the board sooner than later as long as Bitcoin stays above $105k.
  12. O @ oh be g: And I agree w u shit happens
  13. O @ oh be g: @finger just to be clear I am not accusing any one of anything just replying to another post explaining how just like any other biz drop shipping exists
  14. Finger-of-God @ Finger-of-God: Thats why we just make sure to always have inventory and never go past the inventory. makes us have skin in the game.... that said sometimes shit happens we get hella orders and have to process 600 orders after a busy weekend and it might take us a week to catch up. so maybe thats all he is dealing with?
  15. Finger-of-God @ Finger-of-God: ooph. i hate to hear the scam word tossed around. sometimes people end up having shit happen...like making a bad move in business, doesnt mean they scammed but that they just fucked up some how.
  16. O @ oh be g: That being said, be careful. There was a period of time of new vendors who exit scam after sending “samples”. So I woould trust your gut and intuition ”
  17. O @ oh be g: @meep that’s always been the case, u will see vendors w the exact same menu. Part of the game.
  18. Kruppe @ Kruppe: Man that sucks about rocky :( I haven't been here long but man he was on point.
  19. Dr-Octagon @ Dr-Octagon: A pleasure
  20. A @ AnnaSofia: @Dr-Octagon nice to see you again sir!
