  1. Thanks for chiming in everyone. I won't be fucking around with such substances again... Was scary as hell.

    Who knows what was in your heroin


    Yeah i'm pretty confident that it was adulterated.

    In any case, the food dangers are completely exaggerated

     

    Certainly with moclobamide that is the case. I don't notice any dietary concerns and I have spoken to my GP about it - he confirmed that dietary contraindications are rare.

  2. Most websites run on a Linux back end, even if they are old school. Also, the hosting provider (if it's an online entity rather than private) will more than likely be selling SSL certificates and if they aren't, will be able to assist clients in procuring one.

    please update us, we all are worried.

     

    I can't give medical advice as all of us, but am very certain that cooling you body with cold water could be a method, in this instance.

    that's what hospitals have done as well, I think.

     

    let us all research this topic, and get back to the forums a regarding this.

     

    and yes forgot to say, you are a bloody idiot (sorry I love you).


    I survived without having to attend a GP or hospital, thankfully. Yeah cold water was really helpful. I drank a heap of fluids to try and flush my system and rested on the couch with my folks. Managed not to lose consciousness. Although I almost did a few times.

     

    The contraindication episode lasted about four hours. It showed no signs of going away for the first 3, then eventually subsided.

    I won't be doing opiates again. Yuck :(

    Don't freak out. Usually in hospital they just treat it by waiting and observation anyway. Unfortunately there's not a lot you can do. You might just have to ride it out, but you will be ok. The prognosis is good. It will subside in time.

     

    Maybe take your temperature?

    My temperature seems okay. The ill effects seem to be subsiding now, should be fine.

    Sorry bro, I got nothing practical that I can really offer and hope you get through this.  SAB forum is probably the last place to seek urgent medical advice.

     

    If you need medical attention, you may have to engage with your parents to get to the hospital.  Tell them you feel sick.  Surely it doesn't require a full confession.

     

    Yeah I've told them now. They already know I use opiates occasionally, just hate stressing them out. 

     

    Your right about seeking urgent medical advice here lol. Bit of a shot in the dark. I thought maybe there is a herb that decreases serotonin that I may have in my garden unknowingly.

    That really sucks Acacia. In my opinion, good assessment and treatment require an understanding for each client's core strengths, values and own goals. I was always taught that treatment should be a collaborative process between therapist and client. Tbh I think a lot of MH professionals just have their own egos so wrapped up in what they are doing. Many are on power trips and downright unethical in how they approach client issues. In my opinion, the cornerstone of effective treatment is the therapeutic triad - warmth, empathy and genuineness. If you aren't seeing these in your treating practitioner, move on and find someone who does show these but unfortunately it can be hard to find.

     

    That's totally true Cimi. The last one I went to spoke to me for 20 minutes, then diagnosed me with Bipolar and scripted me Lithium rather than giving me the ADD medications he specialised in. Totally ridiculous as I'm not BP and have had confirmation of that from numerous practitioners. 


  7. So I an opiate about 3 hours ago, forgetting I was on an MAOI inhibiting anti depressant (moclobamide). It's quite severe, but I don't think it's bad enough to go to hospital and I want to avoid telling my folks (who I live with).

     

    Anyone got any ideas of herbs or other things around the house that may decrease the severity?

    Symptoms i'm experiencing:

    • Eyes not focusing correctly (I'm going cross eyed randomly)
    • High body heat (I'm naked in my room with all windows open and its pretty damn cold
    • Visual distortions
    • Nausea
    • Slight dizziness

    It can be done for free with "Let's Encrypt". It's a simple task that most web admins should be able to implement in less than an hour.

    Yeah that's the plugin I was thinking of too.

  9. @Cubism funnily enough the only time ive seen someone litter out there it was a Nannup local. Drinking stubbies and just ditching them into the forest. Also worth noting that you find trash in all kinda bits if scrub, often from people hUnting or popping off guns for target practice  - then leaving shot up targets and remnants of cartons around the place.

     

    The problem really is the cops man. Busting people for picking psilocybe mushrooms is a load of crap and I'm not going to even entertain the concept that the problem isnt the laws. Cops bust pickers indiscriminately.

    how did this one go acacia? 

    It was pretty fun. Spoke to Cimi for quite a while and shared vid feeds of our plant collections. We had a couple of lurkers join us and just hang around silently, another character I forget the name of chilled a while and my gf jumped on to chat for a bit. 

     

    I'd like to run another, but unsure how to get a better turn out. 


  11. I suffer from chronic ADD and have tried a variety of different supplements to help me manage it. I usually end up buying ritalin and dexamphetamine from mates to combat it, as psychiatrists keep refusing to prescribe me due to historic substance use issues. In search of a better solution, I stumbled upon n-methyl-cyclazodone - a distant relative of 4-methyl-aminorex and closer relative of cyclazodone.

     

    I've been using it 3 days so far and have tried a few different oral dosage levels.

    100mg over the course of the day - intense anxiety, jumpy behaviour. too anxious for it to really help my ADD at all.
    40 mg in the morning - improved ADD symptoms substantially, but I wasn't particularly driven to do the things I needed to do as much as things I wanted to do. slight anxiety
    20 mg in the morning - major improvements of ADD symptoms, 0 anxiety.

    Interestingly, none of these doses impacted my sleep at all. Even when I redosed right before bed I was able to sleep soundly.

    Need to conduct further research before I can be sure this is a useful medication for me long term.

  12. I got confronted by the owner of this property last year. He said it was private land he owned and I honestly thought he was full of shit. I made a deal with him that we'd move on to another forest if he didn't call the cops... He honored it.

  13. When planning a new system, first thing you should do is work out who the stakeholders of that system are. Just SAB members? Another community? Invites outside of SAB?
    List the stakeholders.

     

    Next, differentiate the different types of user of the system. (admin, mod, user etc.)
    List the users.

    Then, discern what functions the users need. Just make a brief note of the functions, even mentally is fine.

    Then - write use cases. For example - "As a user I want to be able to use encrypted text chat so I can share secrets with other users."

    "As a user I want to be able to use encrypted video chat so I can share video casts of my plants with other users safely"

    It's important to exhaust all of the necessary functions in this step. 

     

    My question to you is basically the answers to the above. The method outlined above is a reduced version of a systems planning stage you might use in the IT industry. 

    If you can let me know the use cases I can help you find a suitable solution :)
