</div>As a medic working as a associate specialist in the treatment of<br>
substance misuse disorder for the last few years n3td3v reminds me of<br>
my patients who indulge in polydrug abuse mainly involving cocaine and<br>
alcohol, often in combination.<br>
<br>
This is a very dangerous thing to do due to the 2 drugs being combined<br>
by the liver to form cocaethylene which is significantly more euphoric<br>
and hepatotoxic.<br>
<br>
-tip i have done some "n of 1" trials with patients showing that<br>
antabuse (disulphiram) can help with this as it seems to inhibit<br>
dopamine decarboxylase in the brain thus raising basal dopamine levels<br>
reducing cravings as well as preventing alcohol use. Modafenil also<br>
seems quite promising for stimulant misuse but my bosses are being<br>
slow about letting me set up a proper double-blind placebo controlled<br>
study of this.<br>
<br>
I also think this is why the analysis of n3td3v done previously came<br>
to the conclusion that it was several separate individuals. It is<br>
merely one guy in different states of intoxication.<br>
<br>
The evolution of his evolving addiction and deteriorating mental<br>
health has been quite clear over the last few years.<br>
<br>
Soon , if he follows the pattern set by many Scots indulging in hard<br>
drug use he will start to use benzodiazepines more and more and if he<br>
is very unlucky he will be exposed to heroin.<br>
At this point he will go away and FD can return to its true nature as<br>
a list for sec matters with occasional furry pr0n spam.<br>
<br>
:-)<br>
