http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSRI_discontinuation_syndrome
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-SSRI_sexual_dysfunction

in short, discontinuation of SSRIs (the most commonly prescribed antidepressants) can result in an individual developing anxiety disorders (frequent panic attacks, insomnia, etc) that they never had before they started taking SSRis... indicating a long-term or sometimes permanent change in brain chemistry, aka permanent damage, fucking cunt

we are tampering with drugs that have only started being used in the past 15 years, we haven't got a fucking clue as to what their long term effects are
But as old school pharmacopia goes, a drug with tolerance generally exhibits reverse effects when the drug is discontinued, and more often than not the brain has extreme difficulty in regaining a normal level of functioning without the drug. Talk to most drug addicts and they will tell you that even after being sober for years, they never felt "normal" again, they have merely learned to live with the damage

of course there will still be competition and choice. it just gets capped and regulated.

as far as getting what you want from the doctor, let's all just agree that you want the middleground - avoid the doctor that will immediately give you whatever drug you saw a clever cartoon TV ad hawk. also avoid the doctor that will only prescribe the drug being made by the folks who paid for his family's $80,000 ski trip, no matter how much you tell him it doesn't work or you read that it could be dangerous or unneeded.

everybody wants a doctor that will carefully consider all your input, weigh in as much of it as he can, then make a professional and unbiased decision towards your care. a national insurance program does not mean "the good doctors" are going to be inaccessible.

i used to could get there with 120mg oxy/150mgeq morphine, plus 4oz whiskey, 2-4mg alprazolam, and 50-100 mg promethazine

The FDA can't control the medical-corporate syndicate, they profit from it. Overhaul the regulators too, replace the whole goddamnned bureau.

Get a clue about my posting incriminating information out for the world to see. I save the medical establishment alot of money by providing my own treatments, far above and beyond some drug therapy.

Of course it's wrong to give the patient what they want, unless they have veritable reasons for wanting it (i.e. they don't just want it but they could very well need it).

Federal assistance programs need to be cut, period. The federal income tax needs to be cut, period. Social Security needs to be cut, period. The federal government exists to manage international trade, defense, and uphold the constitution. Anything else is out of scope and a violation of state's rights.

I brought that up to illustrate the point that just maybe you're not right about everything and are perhaps out of line suggesting that you're entitled to my money. It's interesting that the folks who feel most passionately about this are typically criminals who fucked up their own lives, in the context of our little community I'm talking specifically about you and jennifer 'I had to turn my face away from my daughter so she wouldn't see me shoplifting for meth money' fogle.

If she's a crook then I have lost respect for her, and I think she denigrates the OWS/anon clusterfest of any serious, coherent message they might be able to agree on other than "boo scientology" and "yay cat pictures"
I on the other hand I'm not a crook, I've held a security clearance for a couple years now. I'm a good guy. When I was out of work for over a year (and not receiving public assistance either) I still volunteered, mostly just as a chance to meet more people and network for opportunities - not that it didn't feel good to spend time helping total strangers for free from starving to death. So don't you dare compare me to a criminal, a scumbag, or someone entitled to your money (not at this point in my life at least)

She's a total thief, got convicted and everything. flaggercat has her whole record and a copy of her mugshot. Apparently she had a big meth problem, used to shoplift from walmart and steal out of parked cars to support her habit.

I'm not calling you a scumbag, but unless you have prescriptions for those hundreds of pills you take you're certainly a criminal. So you volunteer, fine, that's great, I do too on occasion. There's a big difference between volunteering or donating vs having the government take your money from you under threat of jail to "help the less fortunate". Most importantly, once your money is in their coffers you have no control over how it's spent. Universal healthcare would be bad enough, but you have to be pretty naive to think they're not going to take the cash earmarked for that and spend it on some other bullshit. The only way we're going to regain control over spending in washington is to start chipping away at their money supply, that means less taxes and federal programs, not more.

Generally around here the speed limit is 55mph, it was designed like 50 years ago for a previous generation of cars.

You make profit by selling a service or product at a higher price than what it cost you.

Since money trees are losing their leaves so quickly now, there's less infinite money from the top to use to pay for the work and resources of all those procurers, be they producers, or distributors or some other middle-men.
Taxation/redistribution is a way of redistributing that wealth, so that the steel mill owner and the ore miner both have municipal garbage service, wastewater collection, social security, etc.
Taxation is not "punishment" it's patriotism. I don't see why people who don't like it just all move to some shithole without taxes like Somalia, and pay outta pocket for security, EMS/fire, sanitation, etc all by hand (if they even exist in your area)

There was never infinite money. It doesn't magically rain down from on high, economics is cyclical. The housing bubble was caused by a Clinton era mandate imposing a quota requiring them to lend to low-income (minority) applicants.

Wait, you mean well intentioned federal meddling directly caused the current recession? But I'm the 99%! goddamn it I don't want to hear that! More government is always good! Corporations are what's bad! BRB gotta pull out my iphone and bitch about this on twitter.



Taxation/redistribution is a way of redistributing that wealth, so that the steel mill owner and the ore miner both have municipal garbage service, wastewater collection, social security, etc.

Taxation is not nor should it be a way of redistributing wealth. It is a way of financing necessary services without which society would collapse. It belongs at the local level, there's no reason the federal government should be interacting with people on a personal level. We somehow managed to survive for almost 170 years without a federal income tax. Increasing that tax to pay for a nationwide healthcare mandate is not solving a problem, it is creating a new one.

Nothing new about predatory lending, but you can point fingers at dozens of people for the surge in unchecked, wholesale abuse of mortgages, and later on in complex securities transactions which you'd have to have an MBA to understand fully yourself. Greed, in the form of the "someone else will just eat my dinner if I don't dig in now" logic. There's some special term for that in game theory.

Yeah, and the majority of that time we instead survived on slavery, child labor, other abusive labor practices, lack of unions, and probably much, much more.
Untapped stocks of natural resources supplies greatly outweighing their demand, and disconcern for environmental impact during this period had something to do with that as well, I'm sure.

None of this has anything to do with the federal government. The shouldn't need a lot of money to function because they're not supposed to be really doing all that much. They hand billions to the states in exchange for the states meeting their (often arbitrary) demands. Why add this layer of complexity to it? Why not drop the federal income tax and just give that money to the state instead? Constitutionally they're the ones responsible for providing services.

I'm finding it hard to believe that you were scammed, one has to have their head pretty far up their ass to not realize that technology is evolving at light speed and studying a processor from the early 70's might not be the best career choice. sure, fine, the motorola 6400 is still used. it's used in FURBYS. the cpu in my $80 router would run circles around that thing. you might as well bitch that someone tricked you into studying horse drawn carriage design, you can't blame other people for your mistakes.

as for these home buyers, they should know that you get these promises in writing or they doesn't exist. every example you've given so far has been of stupid people paying the price for being stupid. that's not a sign of the degradation of society, it's just plain darwinism.

but they effect the same thing
input gets out of ROM and into process, the result gets stored

a carefully-designed shaft turns under the power of chemistry, and puts the vehicle in a different place

when you've worked on enough different kinds, you realize what parts are always in common and what parts just extra, or maybe included in some new design to try out, like a table-lookahead buffer or a branch prediction engine. or a cache manager that can score cache hits anywhere from 10% to 90%, based on the kind of simulation being benched

Why couldn't I figure it out my first two years of college when my mind was at its sharpest? How did I miss the writing on the wall, the fact that every <State> Institute of Technology or <State> Technological Institute consisted of at most 30% American citizens in the student body, no matter the state wither it was Caltech or fucking Kentucky Tech.
We all graduated, I went home to TN, Kadeer went home to Mudhut-istan, and he's eating my dinner because his employer (what shoulda been MY employer) doesn't have to pay for overtime, FMLA, environmental, etc in some vulnerable third-world shitpit. Not to mention paying his curry-stained ass $9000 a year is pretty hard to pass up vs an American with comparable (if not slightly better qualifications) that will cost you $45,00 plus benefits, plus government oversight.

At least marks is the first person that will seriously try to change my mind out of all whom I've discussed this with from the "tea party" or hard-libertarian mentality.
Everyone else just tells me and my talking points to go fuck themselves, ala "wahhh whatta liberal crybaby no wonder nobody has hired you"
Too bad if you think I talk out of my ass, as opposed to personal experience of myself and classmates, but it's rare I parrot someone soundbytes (despite being guilty of an occasional indulgence) but honestly you seem to usually make up your own fuckin mind for yourself, and I respect that.

and methadone is another drug i'll never try, way too risky since im a polydrug user
the closest i can get to death is my brain "zeroes out" and i slump over in such a way that my airway locks open, so i still must be getting oxygen through diffusion rather than mechanical breathing

i used to could get there with 120mg oxy/150mgeq morphine, plus 4oz whiskey, 2-4mg alprazolam, and 50-100 mg promethazine
now i throw barbiturates and DXM in the mix and i can still barely get a nod. I refuse to inject though, or pay some dritbag out the ass for heroin when everything else i can get for price of fucking tapwater

if you dont use opiates for a few weeks your tolerance completely goes back to baseline. I thought I had a permanent tolerance for a long time, but last night was my first night using opiates in almost a month, and I actually 'felt' 15mg of hydrocodone. It didn't give me a nod mind you, but I 'felt' it. I thought it was a miracle, because normally I don't even bother with hydrocodone because a few times I had eaten 75mg of it and felt absolutely nothing.

About a month ago I had a 120mg/day oxy habit or 45mg/day methadone, whichever was easier to get (methadone was invariably cheaper, but would slightly block my oxy high for a few days afterwards so I usually chose oxy when I could afford it).
But anyways, the point is that my tolerance is actually lower right now than it has been in years, after just one month of not using any opiates.

I'm happy with where I'm at with opiates right now; I don't have a job so I can't do them every day and skyrocket my tolerance again. I can only afford to have a few day long binge every 1-2 weeks, but now I don't have to worry about tolerance or whether I'm going to be sick if I can't find another dose

yeah best way to reset tolerance is just to suck it up and kick for awhile. ive never needed help to kick but if i did i would much rather go back on sub than take methadone. only thing about sub is it wont really precipitate w/d like most ppl claim (thats the diff b/t subuxone and subutex, subutex containsd fucking narcan). but also if you take suboxone with the right cocktail, it'll fuck you up a lot harder than hc, oc, hm etc.. so even with sub you have to wanna quit or you'll just endp addicted to another substance.
kicking's great though, once you're past the first week of w/d and can stop shaking and shitting everywhere it feels kinda cool to not be done up all the time. plus when you restart then you can keep your tolerance artifically low for several weeks by co-adminning 45-50mg DXM with your opiate

Yes i can agree to surgery on my shoulder, or can opt to live with the fact my shoulder can re-dislocate from any significant force. Is that what you are saying? I don't get what you are trying to say, is your statement not true for any hospital?



Sounds like how a crack dealer would justify what he does to feed his family. I'd prefer if my doctors used their education to tell me what is actually best for me and not what I want



Also your anology isn't really applicable because most things not provided are elective surgeries, like boob jobs.
"what you want" is typically what's best for you. If a person goes to a doctor already knowing what medication they would like to be prescribed, they are very rarely satisfied when they leave the doctor unless they got the hot new medication they wanted. It's like a placebo effect. Even if something is clinically more likely to give you results, your mind's own psychosomatic influence will make you believe your still "sick" unless you got what you "think" is going to make you feel better.

hmm... how well do you tolerate demerol? tramadol? even though bupe is still an opiate it's very-highly substituted.
and that's generally the case - that if you have trouble enjoying or tolerating many synthetics (or bupe), then yeah, best to avoid them all completely

hahah plugging bupe, if you decide to try some you wanna rail it. i've plugged a drug or two in my day but only tried with oramorph & certain stimulants (βk-MDMA worked really well up the cornhole) but with most stuff (particularly opiates) if eating or railing won't work, i'll just pass

blumpkin blownuts
03-23-2012, 05:36 AM
just remember bupe builds tolerance fast & is addictive as fuck, theres just no feeling in the world like believing that another chemical is your only chance to quit an older chemical, and ending up addicted to both

also you'll get bad side fx taking it 45-60 days or longer (as in taking it every day or almost every day)

and you have to mix it if you're taking it to get high, you gotta coadmin a benz/barb plus a stronger antihistamine than DPH, you'll need atarax or phenergan. but yeah a 2mg sub, a 2mg bar, and 50mg phenergan could do me just as easily as an 8 of hm, at like 1/3-1/4 the price of that overpriced shit.
funny about names, i used to have a screenname somewhere of just "Dilaudid" before the niggers on the east side (only way to get it) started trying to charge me $10 for a fuckin M2
