I assume you are taking a pharmaceutical ?

euro amphetamines are sold as paste and a minority of black market vendors are pressing their own pills, not a lot of meth ime. Not sure where it’s coming from but there seems to be pharmaceutical dexedrine aplenty in the Balkans. At least over the course of a few trips to Serbia and Croatia i’ve somehow always encountered someone who’d have a pack to share :q:

Nope, it's a genuine rave candy. Surprisingly, no form of amphetamine is approved over here as a legitimate medication for adhd. Not even tame stuff like Ritalin (I already asked my doc about it and nearly got kicked out of his office eg it's a firsthand experience.)

No idea what drug (or combo of) is probably the most likely if it’s a pressed pill. A quick glance on EcstacyData will show what kinds of combos, pills of unknown strength and flat out duds are floating around.

I was worried about that. You may have gotten very lucky . SSRIs will nullify MDMA, but can also lead to Serotonin Syndrome .

There is one and only drug baba, it's not multiple persons. I think she's raiding retirement homes for prescription painkiller drugs, there is no other explanation. Somebody is selling her prescription meds of old folk who are too senile to realize that their pills have been swiped, in agreement with the nurses who are probably getting a share of the cake.

Croatio: a land of contrasts. Drug babas roam the aisles of local flea markets, collecting phone numbers and dispensing drugs of every variety with nary a worry from the local constabulary, but there is apparently a nation-wide blanket ban on the sort of drugs much of the Western world shovels into their children by the wheelbarrow.

I apparently decided to become a square. Drug Baba phoned me the other day, after a long long time, and I told her that I'm just too broke to buy pills from her, while mr weed is not interested anymore, and that she can sell her drugs to someone else. This didn't bum her out too much, it seemed that there was an ample demand for her pills!

Oh, and I went on a job interview, a first one after a really long time. Heck, a factory wanted someone to drive a small forklift truck around, picking up crates with waste, taking them out to the dumpsters where the waste is to be sorted and pressed. I didn't even think they'd call me, I sent my CV to them mostly as a joke. The problem is that the interview went almost too well, and now they want to send me on a general medical examination. They never would have called me if they knew that I'm on terrifying amounts of psychiatric medication, so that means that I'll have to lie. A lot. And even if they catch me cheating on those generalized tickbox tests ("have you ever thought about suicide?") I'm getting a free examination out of this like a real-deal bum. Who knows, maybe I'll really get that job - the guy asked me how much I would expect to earn here and I said "minimum wage" and the guy looked impressed. Besides, there were two other candidates along with me but I was the only one mindful enough to bring my forklift drivers' license with me.

I got a bunch of old Zyprexas from Vesna. She told me that she was allergic to olanzapine, and her logic mandated that she should not take any psychiatric medication at all (because she's so allergic to them, man) and store the blisters in an old shoebox. I, of course, got my paws on those Zyprexas. I was put off a bit when I saw that they expired during the George W. Bush administration, but took a few of them for the hell of it - it's not an antibiotic, meaning it's mostly safe to take even though the pills' potency will be diminished. I took two and they seemed to work well enough. I haven't grown any additional arms and nothing weird happened, so I'll keep taking them for the hell of it, YOLO bitches.

What do you mean by "seemed to work well enough"? Why would anyone take zyprexa recreationally? I'm guessing it's not for the weight gain or diabetes.

This guy knows, I have a long, long history of 'phrenia, I used to be one of those "the Jews are putting up cameras in my bathroom" types before I got back on antipsychotics in 2007, and I got zyprexa as it was the "least barbaric" one back then. The downside is that I'm dependant on a constant stream of pills, while holidays and weekends are my enemies because every so often I realize that I'm all out of meds and that there is noone to write me a new script. Emergency doctors won't write you any scripts either. That's one thing America has over Europe, that America has far more workdays and is less likely to leave you craving for your medication but nope, you're stuck until Monday morning. So this pill hoarding came out of necessity, I'm just too absent-minded to keep track of my pills otherwise. I am now going to rotate stock with Vesna's expired pills and stock some brand new ones - I'm clueless to the point where I really need to keep a few pills extra :)

Ah, gotcha. I knew you occasionally actually take the psych meds that you're prescribed ;) but didn't know if zyprexa was currently one of them. Popping a few doses of an antipsychotic here and there to see if it makes you less crazy definitely won't, since building up and maintaining a steady blood level is key. But you've already been around the block enough to know that. ASFB gonna ASFB :shrug:

Have you tried setting a few pills aside in a separate container when you first get a prescription filled? When the main package itself is empty, you'd realize that it's time to get a refill, but you'd still have some left. I'd suggest using a weekly pill organizer for that, since they let you know in advance if you have enough for the rest of the week, but they rely on having moments lucid enough to set it up properly and then knowing what day it is. If you've been eating a bunch of your latest drug of choice and losing several days at a time and cooking chairs, a pill organizer probably wouldn't help, unfortunately.

I've grown much better about the whole pill supply thing. Now I'm keeping emergency pills stashed away in a secure place for the peace of mind against my dumb babby problems: sometimes I'm too hosed up on other drugs to walk to the pharmacy, sometimes it's raining, maybe my gp was too busy to answer the phone (as it usually happens on Mondays) yadda yadda yadda. There's a thousand lazy reasons preventing me from picking up my refill :D

Today I finally found out where these tramadol pills are coming from: a corrupt gp is writing phony prescriptions and refills to herself, later picking the drugs up at a pharmacy and selling them to drug baba for $8 apiece. :ughh:

And don't get me started on her. Today she phoned me again to pitch some pills, and when I told her that I'm broke, which is the truth, she got all kissy and weepy, calling me "her angel" wanting to know when I will see her again over her pea soup. It was a very confusing conversation to say the least. Don't tell me she's a 75 year old drug dealer with a crush on my dumb rear end? :ughh:

To elaborate on Drug Baba, because I feel that this phoneposting results in jumbled and half-baked posts.

She said that she likes me a whole lot, a LOT, even though at 75, she feels old enough to be my mother. And then she asked when will I see her again, because she wants to share some of her home cooking with me, pea&pod soup to be more specific.
