Benzodiacepine overdose
Can an overdose on xanax slow down the breathing to 6 breaths per minute? (I thought that was a symptom of opiate overdose?) and if xanax does slow down breathing this much, is this considered dangerous? Although bradypnea (decreased respiratory rate) is more typical of opiate overdose, it is a possible symptom of benzos overdose. Opiate overdose can kill a person by respiratory depression, this is very unlikely overdosing benzos.
Read MoreBuspirone interacion whith some drugs
im on a new anxiolytic called buspar (buspirone), and i was wondering if it’ll have any interactive effects with marijuana, MDMA, DMT, or LSD??? There are no studies available about clinical interactions between buspirone and psychedelic drugs. Buspirone acts partially on serotoninergic receptors 5-HT1A and decreases effects of serotonin-releasing drugs as fluoxetine. So it is possible that effects of MDMA, DMT or LSD should be diminished. In theory, effects of marijuana should not...
Read MoreCannabis smoking whithout tobacco
Instead of tobacco, what should I put into my weed, which is less destructive, but doesn’t smell/taste like shit? I know I know, ppl should be smoking pure green, but I don’t have the wallet for that. Combustion of all vegetals leads to toxic substances that can alter respiratory airway. There is discussion about if tobacco is more or less toxic than cannabis but, in any case, smoking plants is always unhealthy. The healthiest alternative is vaporizing. There are certified vaporizers for cannabis therapeutic use but the problem is that they are expensive. But there are also...
Read MoreDrugs in supraventricular tachycardia
I have a friend who has/suffers from Supra ventricular tachycardia. He’s had a few attacks in his life and is in the process of seeing experts about his heart. The recent scans he has had have actually shown that his heart is fine and healthy apart from some ‘faulty wiring’ (which I don’t quite understand) and an ablation could be done to fix that. It’s worth noting he suffers from quite bad anxiety at times and I personally believe this could be the possible cause but doctors don’t seem to accept or address that. Anyway to the question, for someone who...
Read MoreDMT long term effects
I was wondering if you knew of any long term effects (postive or negative) from DMT use (heavy or not). As many other “classical psychedelics” organic toxicity of DMT is practically nonexistent. There are no reported cases of intoxication resulting in acute death. Lethal dosage is calculated based in animal models and it seems a reasonably secure drug. There are no reports about neurotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, hepatotoxicity or damage to other human organs, not even in animal administration. Problems of long-term or acute DMT are of psychological nature. For some people it...
Read MoreBuspirone interactions whith some drugs 2
im wondering about mescaline and buspar (buspirone)? i read somewhere that cocaine mixed with buspar can cause seizures.. and since mescaline is a semi-stimulant, i was wondering about it. There are not many data about this particular. Buspirone does not act as an stimulant. Effects, adverse effects, toxicity and effects of overdosing are not that from stimulants. Anyway, there is little research about combination between psychedelic and prescription drugs. I do not recommend to use psychedelics while on therapeutic drugs. If you are doing so it is important to be very careful with...
