  • Absolute worst case scenario if you are unable to get a replacement, you can get a pane of glass and either score and cut it yourself (diamond or silicon carbine and a ruler to score, and then either a drop of water on the score lines and snap or put a bit of string soaked in lighter fluid and set it on fire on the score line, once it’s heated dip it in cold water or pour cold water on and it should split along the score).

    Use youtube to actually see how it’s done.

    Or go to a window maker (or if your hardware stores do it) and ask if they can just cut a pane to size for you.


  • Elvanse is my daily driver, initially started at 30mg and went down to 20, stayed on that for a few years, eventually back up to 30mg where I’m at now.

    I have been on it something like 8 years total. And I think 66KG starting weight.

    Remember everyone’s dosage is different.

    You want the medication to be barely perceptable for long-term stability, you don’t want to chase any rush you have the first time you use it, as that will just end up being higher and higher doses.


  • The immediate issue I can see is not much to do with the base aspect of things, but more to do with the risk of salination of soils and water, but without solid numbers to go off of it’s hard to know what the impact could be.

    I’m curious if this could be made to work with elemental potassium, which doesn’t carry the same risk of salination or possibly even the liquid NaK alloy (which would carry the approximately half the risk of salination potential)







  • The first half is reasonable, the 2nd bit is paranoid.

    People take drug, drug does thing, body/brain react and over time produce long term tolerance so honeymoon period with med ends.

    Surprised Pikachu face

    You see it in other drug using communities; it’s really common to see people say that the modern drug is nothing like what they took years prior, whilst ignoring their own neural pathways will have changed in that time.

    Personally I’ve found NAC helps, where it didn’t before when my meds still add their “magic”






  • Weirdly it was the lamb chops my primary school did, they came from the aluminum tray pre sliced to about 4-5mm, dripping in gravy and were beyond tender. I have no idea they did them but they had no right being as good as they were.

    Part of me fondly remembers turkey twizzlers, then another part of me remembers losing my first tooth to one and crunching it… I also imagine they’re revolting in a way that only a small child could enjoy.

    Oh also iced buns



  • What is your standard dose?

    And out of curiosity are you American?

    For some reason Americans seem to be way more adverse to having generic versions of medications, I don’t know if it’s to do with how the FDA does things, or to do with the amount of medication advertising there, but in the UK no-one typically cares if a medication is generic as long as delivery mechanism and dose are the same.

    So I’ll almost certainly get a different brand of sertraline each month, and a different brand of dexamphetamine. The only medication which is brand name that I get is Elvanse, but even then that’s produced by different manufacturers but branded all the same, just under licence from the patent owner.

    Tbh the hypothermia sounds like vasoconstriction and/or possibly low blood sugar.

    The vasoconstriction can be caused by the higher dose, especially if you consume caffeine.

    I had to quit coffee for 8 months due to the horrible vasoconstriction/chills I’d get with it, after those 8 months I eventually started drinking tea, without getting chills anywhere near as much, now when I do it’s an indicator that I need food, especially if my hands have a slight jitter.

    In all honestly higher doses of methylphenidate can leave you feeling somewhat depersonalised/disassociated, even changes in dose-timings can cause it, taking more smaller doses can also change the methylphenidate/blood concentration which you may be subconsciously picking up on…

    Other things that can throw blood concentrations off: Grapefruit (fruit or juice) Vitamin C Excessive coffee/soft drinks
