roseweird posted:NoFreeWill posted:what amphetamines are actually around or whatever? like obviously don't do meth, so what is there? dexedrine? ritalin/all those drugs? or just straight speed taht's clean/good?
ritalin is methylphenidate, basically meth
dexedrine is something else, i don't know, related but different
adderall IR is amphetamine salts, take the pill, your body breaks it down into amphetamine and it's in your bloodstream within 15-30 minutes. don't take it with anything acidic, which inhibits its absorption. XR is some long release stuff, i don't know
vyvanse is a prodrug that slowly breaks down into amphetamine in the body. it's supposed to replace amphetamine salts i guess, supposedly it can't be crushed and insufflated
no methylphenidate is much more like cocaine. desoxyn is the meth one
NoFreeWill posted:i'm on wellbutrin I was really reluctant to take drugs but it has been real helpful. they started me on a really low dose 200 mg and taht was too much (hallucinations at one point) so i am on pretty much the lowest possible 100mg. it's not chemically similar at all to amphetemines i just meant in the sense that it gives you energy or whatever. and i'm lazy sso maybe i should be on ritalin or someth
I was on welbutrin for like 10+ years and I know what you mean. It can really help with focus and drive, or at least it did with me.

'oooh you can't sit still in class, it must be a disorder'. I can't for the life of me see how being bored by boring shit is a disorder rather than the natural state of things.

idk, i think its probably a thing for some people, quite often i get a counterintuitive response to stimulants in that they send me to sleep

I'm probably not going to be living in foco conditions or even pursuing any kind of activist lifestyle. I'll probably work in analysis or planning, maybe write or teach somehow. I'm okay with just being a cog as long as I can pay my student loans and afford to have a family. I hope to donate a lot of money to causes I believe in and buy some art. I want to cultivate a good home life and raise good children. I'm buying into confucianism or something because I believe that when interpersonal communication is at the bottom of a sewer there is really no hope for anything at the macro level anymore. at least nothing I can do, really. so I think I'm just going to try and live as intentionally and as ethically as I can while keeping my mind open to opportunities and take risks when I can to do good things in the service of others.
so how do you handle the stuff you read + impending adulthood and responsibility? what bits of peace do you try and slide into your life to keep the room a little brighter? do you have plans for the future to become the ultimate human being? share your thoughts itt.

how are you handling adulthood?
bad lol
roseweird posted:there are a lot of good arguments against taking drugs but that is not one of them, your reality is not more or less filtered after than before taking drugs. obviously all reality is filtered, in fact your idea that there exists an unfiltered human reality is the origin of psychiatric medicine: "we can medically adjust deviant human realities to the normal human reality"
all humans are different, all realities are different, humanity needs all of them in order to understand postmodernity. please do not filter YOUR reality, everyone
jools posted:dexedrine is much better than adderall also. adderall is racemic, so it makes you feel much more like crap than dexedrine which is enantiopure dexamphetamine
dexedrine is incredibly hard to get compared to adderall, but a much wiser alternative is vyvanse / lisdexamfetamine, which is now fairly overprescribed, has a much longer duration and lighter symptoms than adderall, and is a little less habit forming because your body can only metabolize it at a certain rate
roseweird posted:uhm what if it needs the filtered ones too though
im typing the word 'yikes' over and over while saying it out loud
