Prolonged Release > Instant?

[zedwings]

Hi Guys,

Firstly, mods, please accept my apologies if this isn't allowed it's just I know the nexians are a knowledgeable bunch and I wanted to ask for advice. It's not DMT related.

I have pills that are prolonged release. They are prescribed legitimately. They are quite sedating and lately I've been having increasing difficulty sleeping. Is there anyway I can get the full dose, rather than the prolonged release dosing. They are not capsules, but chalky "bullets".

Again, sorry if not allowed, and thanks for advice.

I would suspect there is a safety component attached to that time release factor, and that it wouldn't be in your best interests to try overriding that. If you are genuinely unable to sleep, either tell your doctor or, even better, try a more physically active lifestyle. Sedentary living can lead to acute sleep problems.

check to see if has label on it. if it does, type it in search in at www.erowid.org and take crap out of here. This is DMT nexus, we don't talk cheap thrills here. My advice is know what you're taking, but above all... why?

Sincerely Jarl Von Hoother

Hey Zed

I too have trouble sleeping lately..(sedentary life > def)

I take 0.5mg Alprazolam (Xanax is the US name...I got mine in India) and a glass of wine and I'm out for 8 hours straight.
They are anti anxiety meds but are fantastically sedative..Love em' :d

I think this question is for the one who prescribed them to you - I guess your doctor. We will be hardly able to help you here.

The only advice I would give you is to try to get of any medication if possible.

Really go back to the prescriber.

Have you read the Attitude section ? If not I suggest to you to go there and read it. This is not the way to talk to people around here.

Questions like these belong on Bluelight.

Actually, it's fne to post here- just don't be surprised when we try talking you into a safe/sensible direction.

I agree smokerx. Jarl Von Hoother, please be more respectful. If you think something is wrong/bad, explain why, give constructive criticism. This way the thread gets enrichened.

To the OP: What exact medication is it?

Also, trouble sleeping can be associated with bad eating habbits and lack of exercise. So are you exercising and eating in a balanced way?

See the thing is that maybe you can just break up the medication so that the excipients (sp?) break and the time-release aspect is "overriden" but its important to question the safety of it too, so thats why we need to know what exact medication.

You are certainly entitled to mix and match all you want, but recommending a benzo &alcohol combo for anything other than suicide is, in my opinion, bad advice.

If you read closely, I didn't 'recommend' anything...

Also 0.5mg and one glass of wine is hardly suicidal...If it was, I wouldn't have just corrected you...I would be in a box...:surprised

Yes...if you take a handful and then down a bottle of vodka, I would expect a quick exit...

It's best to be careful how you word things on the Nexus..
