Allowed for a sense of peace with my own mortality.


Is it necessary to leave empty replies like this though? I would like to have more replies to read too but I think it's better to just let people come up with them.

  • What was your particular orientation with that previously, like we're all sort of shifty about death but I don't think much about it (like before I was born, that doesn't scare me so I kinda dont get the inverse of that)
  • do you have a condition that makes this all the more prescient or timely
  • any articulable messages you can share that encapsulate the experience we can try to glean from?

Pregabalin (Lyrica)

Fascinating medication that I have found to annihilate anxiety (excellent anxiolytic) and promote social cohesion/sociabillity/oversharing beware. Takes the edge of stimulants as well

Almost like a pharmaceutical slightly sedative-leaning version of ecstasy but obviously quite distinct pharmacologically and not a replacement for same.

Naltrexone

I will start with naltrexone, which can help people who have difficulty regulating their drinking have a more natural and sustainable relationship with alcohol should they choose to not cut it out of their lives entirely.

I consider this the closest thing to a "cure" for drinking problems but it required discipline and it doesn't prevent actual impairment, only the buzz and liking/compulsion to keep overdoing it that day/session

Low Dose Naltrexone is amazing for all kinds of chronic pain and inflammation.
