Hello I lost my son to overdose he was 33. I listened to find out more how harm reduction does not simply post pone death I don’t understand how it helps

This is such an important recording on unintentional overdose statistics, especially given the alarming rise in overdose deaths in over 50s! Must watch #overdoseawareness video.

Pregabalin has helped me quit cannabis, but dependence slowly started creeping in. Use carefully, no more than twice a week and days in between both days (if using for substance abuse)

It is great for GAD

I’ve watched the Webinar now a few times and I’ve learnt a lot over the last few days, thank you. I’ve emailed the Penington Institute my story of potential cannabis use disorder. Please take the time if you can? Thanks.

I have been in near remission with my crohn's disease since 2019 from consuming cannabis. I don't even need my pharmaceutical pills anymore

And thanks to the Institute for opening up conversations that embrace Harm Reduction strategies!

Lived and Living Experience Peer Workers are so important in every conversation, research and advocacy. Lily thank you for sharing your lived experience. As a fellow Peer Worker I really gained so much from today.

Good and bad drugs, or characteristics...... A childish position only taken by those who lack pharmacological education. Without a tight pharm knowledge, you are yet to earn a place at this table of discussion. PhD, not a medical doctor.

False, and deliberately misleading. We have infinitely more overdoses, mostly from non-psychoactive drugs. Note: - Email the staff with health science questions - note the ICD codes - note the inability to hotlink to the report

Gabapentin is???

I fuckin love pregabs

I cannot take SSRI/SNRI or Tricyclic antidepressants as I used to abuse MDMA & Hallucinogens (as self-medication for my GAD). My brain and body does not tolerate increased serotonin well. Pregabalin has been a so helpful for me as an option in that regard and is way more effective than anything else I've tried. Funny how he quickly skips through the GAD section though...😅

"Pregabalin helps against everything, but nothing helps against pregabalin."

A drug can't be classified as basically "good" or "bad". Methamphetamine, for example, is an FDA approved prescription drug (Desoxyn) in the USA, as second line treatment in ADHD, if methylphenidate and dextroamphetamine have failed. Dosage can be titrated up to 20mg per day in children 6 years and over. The first thing we need to ensure, to have a chance at dealing with this health issue, is by excluding many involved in the conversation. Without an adequate knowledge of drugs and medicine, it's not possible to understand the issue.

So in some conferences they say it causes euphoria and in other cases depression. These conferences are so confusing.

I was put on this in the hospital for nerve pain from a bulging disc two weeks ago. Im in water therapy now and forgot to take it one night. Felt better and decided no more. Im glad u did. No side effects yet. Glad I'm not a person who likes any drugs.

Pregablin is probably the most evil drug ever invented, yet in socialist Australia it is thought to be a god-like drug and given out by doctors like lollipops. I was prescribed it for back pain which was not even nerve related. Pregablin is very slow acting, it has a very long half life and builds up in your body over time. It will cause you to think of suicide to the point where you become infatuated with the idea. After a long time and because it remains in your body for weeks, if not months it will cause spontaneous blackouts and serious fatigue. Twice the blackouts occurred while I was driving which caused traffic crashes which were thankfully not fatal to all parties. This drug is pure evil and the minimal positive results are not enough to outweigh the negatives. Eventually, this drug WILL take over your life and ruin it. You will lose your job, your memory, your family and everything else in between.

I been breaking out in hives

I take 150 mg 3 x a day. Was on gabapentin for years now Lyrica.

The only problem iv had on this drug is you carnt cum wen haveing sex thats it

I can't take it,allergic to it.I guess that makes me lucky in a sense.Didn't know it was a bad thing????

36:23 any evidence for the "anxiety mix"? and what is the usual withdrawal treatment (since it says "naturopathic" I guess there's also another regimen)? I expected to see rather things like beta blockers, not passiflora...

This is a dangerous drug at all costs don't take it it kills people

Pregalin is a good drug, when used in correct dose and duration

Got connections on how to get GHB

I have been taking GHB for a year and a consequence that I have heard and am currently experiencing is a pain in my lower back, I could say that it is my kidneys. A recommendation for all who use this drug is to drink a lot of water during its use, it reduces or eliminates this pain.

hey i have an aunt aged 75 whose been suffering for clinical depression for 2 decades..she was asked to take 0.2.ml of ghb by a family doc who also said that it's hard to source.. the thing is I had no clue about the reputation of the drug untill I Googled it.. though I'd say it's terrible, it seems to have helped some people..can anybody tell me if it's fine at that age of and a a dose of 0.2 ml..thanks!

Why are we giny pigs to you

I think this drug is killing me if i say out to gp go to a and e what will thay do im deleris id never bin this bad till gave this and i told them no so thay up dose fast and my head is bracking its nasty dubell vison sick anger upset and keeps up like this every day im off on street stuf be safer im suffering starting this meds so nasty

, but One clear reason some people use GHB is also a reason people use Benzos or Alcohol in recreational settings and that is to allow themselves to be abusive towards others. It's also pretty irresponsible to ignore that most people reationally using G are practicing polydrug use which often is a deadly combo though can be reported differently. Concerning stigma, in a recreational use environment like a club, it is nearly impossible to create a safer space while tolerating G usage. Mostly due to people on G touching others or distributing G while they are high to others with little information, which I consider tantamount to spiking someone. Lastly, why not just call a coma a coma, sure it's a coma that most people have a significantly higher chance of waking up from, but it is a coma and comes with all of the potential problems of a coma. Unfortunately people's relative lack of side-effects following the coma makes it easier for them to dismiss the seriousness of the situation which often allows them to continuously repeat the behaviour. Do we consider the stigma of not inviting a friend to enjoy an evening in our homes who we know will cause us problems with their drug use in a way that might lead to rape or abusive behaviour? The solution is hard, not policing is key, but responding swiftly and hard to reports of abuse is a must. Restorative justice means communicating to the person that "personal and social g use would be easier on everyone if it were legal and sources were all manufactured for people, but until that time a club environment can never be a safer space for g usage", but it also means recognising that if the person is reported for abuse or has had a coma they fit the fundamental description of "problematic use" and should be informed that they have a problem that effects others around them in an unfair way that goes beyond arbitrary legal concerns, often recommending clinical support is difficult, but still more successful than people's attempts to quit on their own, speaking to friends of the person in question is also a must as they are often repeatedly vicariously traumatised by witnessing their friends constant near-death experiences in party environments or the other stressful situations.

I'm on 150mg per day for anxiety. Gonna start my quitting journey very soon.. I'm prepared for hell because it's a highly addictive substance. I have gained a lot of weight during the 10-ish years I've been on Lyrica, and I really struggle lose it. I also experience brain fog.. it used to be moderate but lately it has increased. I can't think clearly. The only pro I can think about is that it made my panic attacks fewer and milder. I hope I will be fine without, once it's out of my system.

Dude i need help making it

NEVER MIX GHB WITH ALCOHOL !! KILS THE LIVER . Other drugs also, but there are some exceptions. Comments Add a comment… Jetsetter 0 seconds ago As per many doctors ghb if used responsibly is a cure for over 100 serious ailments . There are medical books written how beneficial it is to the body's ALL organs including brain. Doctors M.& W. of VRP wrote excellent !!! BOOK about it how RESPONSIBLY use GHB that I call "The Nectar of The Gods" VRP had a great honest newsletter about ghb. Mostly we hear lies because distilleries and breweries would loose 50% of the business as many people prefer similar effect of ghb that doesn't kill your liver. Pharma would loose too much on sleeping meds. Overdose on ghb one pukes just like after alcohol then one has a VERY restful, refreshing sleep. Only once I puked, & got hammered 100s times on ghb, slept without NO hangover. It is an Aphrodisiac & that it got demonized as date rape drug . GHB combined with Viagra & some good non moldy coffee is a great for satisfying most demanding lady and safe for a man's health enhancing pleasure.

I will summarise; Helps people with epilepsy Helps some people with neuropathic pain, but only used if other drugs causing problems or don't work for some reason (other drugs have more evidence for effectiveness). Definitely helps people with GAD (generalised anxiety disorder). Some people have problems using this medication, ongoingly. Some people develop tolerance and some people have issues with feeling like they can't live without it (or stop taking it). Works just fine for me, and I don't have any problems going up or down on this medication.

it's shocking how careless people are about this topic ... 28 likes and 5 comments for this video 1417 views (as at 24/01/22) yet most of Jimeoins videos are watched by millions ... sad world we live in ...

I am grateful for Jimeoin stepping up and speaking out on our behalf.. true heart❤

Thank you, Sir! Very clear message of this medicine.

Thank you for sharing this video , i have been on Pregabaline about 15 years , for neuropathic pain from an amputation . I'm finding it harder and harder to take this medication due to side effects , and it is no longer effective in easing my pain , i take 100mg AM and PM and my consultant has repeatedly wanted me to up my dose , i am unwilling due to side effects . Once again thank you for sharing .

I take zyrem and i take suboxone. It actually takes away my sub withdrawl it has to have some opiate component to it

A brilliant video about #overdose #overdoseawareness #overdoseprevention - much-needed message and poignantly delivered. #video #media #breakingnews #Australia

🙏🌟💚⚕️🕊

Fantastic contribution to health 🙏🌟⚕️

Ones human miracle cure could be deadly poison to the other. Neurotransmitters must be approached from individual neuro chemical make up .

I witnessed my neighbor' husband overdose tonight on heroine/ fentanyl. Thanks for Naloxone!!

As someone who was drugged and raped by a stranger this is offensive

Lets be realistic. No addicts are this clean and stable. Realistically they would be in an abandoned place or in an alley

the audio quality very poor

This is a good video I wish more people watched this.

I live Canada B.C. right on the west coast, vancouver area etc and this fentanyl crisis is just as bad here, and yes they get free clean needles, Naloxone and housing as it becomes avaliable to them, but none of these things are encouraging the addcits to get help off this toxic drug, they continue to O.D. and die in record numbers even though millions have been spent on them. The Naloxone kit only delays the enevitable, literally hours after being revived they are back again shooting up the same a poison that almost killed them, the only thing that makes sence is to bring back the Institution hospitals....
