I have seen a lot of posts saying not to use specific med names. Unfortunately I don't know what half the initials and terms even mean. It also makes the search function difficult to use to find the topics you're interested in. Anyone have a lexicon?

 
wp, jeez, speaking of terminology I had to look up what lexicon meant.

How about this.This seems to work for a lot of people:

x_a_n_a x  or pea kays = pk's - spaces in between letters or the phonetic spelling,

Something that won't show up in a search engine but simple enough for a old geezer like me that doesn't even know what lexicon meant.

I thought it was a car.

 
Ey wyldepixie, if you dont know what an abbreviation means, pm me. I will be happy to help you, fellow non sleeper.

 
Thanks CatintheHat!  You and headbanger are GREAT about answering poor newb's questions.  Alas, I cannot PM yet (I don't think).  I'll keep you in mind for when that function unlocks!

 
I was just coming to this thread to look for an abbreviation key list. I guess there's not one. Because I'm having much difficulty also and really don't want to look real stupid asking  or bothering people all the time. Maybe someone ambitious with time could put one together, to be pinned, or it could be an ongoing group effort of all members to just keep adding on to or inserting into one, or any other idea's.   I guess this would fall in to recommendations to improve the site. Maybe it's just a couple of us though? idk......  

 
I think the whole point of using abbreviations is to avoid "spelling it out" so an abbreviation key would kind of defeat the purpose. If you don't understand something, just pm a senior member. Most are willing to help.

 
yea, I know, and probably so things aren't said right out. Reminds me of texting stuff, I don't get it, I guess I'm to old! /default_mellow.gif

It took me awhile to learn a lot of the abbreviations & some I still srige with for sure. I usually am not much of a texting person bug have picked up a few when I got my IPhone. I was a late bloomer.

Me too Nickiann. I was the last person I knew to even have a smartphone. Still playing catch up

 
Wow, I learned quite a big word today...Lexicon. The closest thing I can think of, and used, is an (acronymfinder) website. It wont get it all, but it has helped me out here and there.

 
I think I understand about sixty percent of them now after reading and reading and seeing them in context. The ones I still don't get I figure probably refer to meds I'm not interested in anyway.

 
I was pretty confused by the code words the first couple of days but over time, I've figured out most of them. Reading reading reading and reading some more really helps!

Hey beachgirlie90, I hope you were born in 1990 and you're not 90!. We have age restrictions here.

  1. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  2. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  3. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  4. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  5. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  6. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  8. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  9. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  10. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  11. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
  12. R @ Royboy99: Maybe it’s the admixture of my South American dna that works so well with it ? 🤷
  13. R @ Royboy99: It’s all evident in memory recall, my emails, meetings, … people invest everything they have in a nootropic that provides this… desperately searching without success and it’s right there right under their nose (no pun) … stigmatized by society and outlawed.
  14. R @ Royboy99: Now I’m not foolish or delusional to think that it made Edison who he was … it just allowed him to Edison to Edison to a greater degree … and I see it doing that for me and others who use it as a productive tool and not a substance of abuse.. you can look at this data with the level of patents filed by Edison during that time … comparable to Barry bonds or McGuire breaking records while they were subtly enhanced
  15. R @ Royboy99: One could argue that we would not have motion pictures if it wasn’t for ❄️
  16. R @ Royboy99: I also take month long breaks and replace with Ritalin for receptor recovery
  17. R @ Royboy99: And while it may sound insane and completely destructive … small microdoses of ❄️ has really transformed me. I did extensive research on its use by Edison, the pope at the time, and many others who got great benefit from a wine concoction called vin Mariani … this subtle enhancement changed the world and as long its used with a high degree of control, it’s amazing. you may think I’m crazy … but I’m just being as transparent as I can
  18. R @ Royboy99: I’ve grown to realize that my time is finite and Im only getting older… I’m back to relying on small PRN doses of FDA trialed BZDs and it’s made tremendous improvements to my quality of life. I just need to get out there more and meet someone new, it’s the only piece that’s missing since I’ve managed to get it together
  19. R @ Royboy99: @LatsDoodis: thanks brother … I’ve spent months trying to put myself in uncomfortable places to grow stronger. Hours of research, thousands on supplements, therapy etc …
  20. LatsDoodis @ LatsDoodis: @Royboy99 You’re not yet lost. Cut them losses and do what you don’t want to do. Take the boring, shameful, nerve racking way out. It’s the only road back to balance. When you’re ready, you’ll do it. Hit me up if you want support quitting. This ain’t worth your life!
