  3. Some details are missing from this #crime report.

    Offender admits to taking #benzodiazepines before #driving - ultimately leading to fatal #collision and there are mentions of him failing #drugs swipe test - but these normally only test for #cannabis and #cocaine - not diverted prescription meds!

    Do #Cambridgeshire #Police now have upgraded test kits that can detect benzos or was the offender taking other substances, and why are neither of these things reported?

    One of the main justifications for #crime reporting is it can act as a deterrent - hiding important details reduces this effect (as well as those using diverted stuff, some who are legally prescribed benzos may be more likely to chance it when driving as they don't think they are "bad" drugs)

  8. Today I learned that tranquilizers (benzodiazepines) barely work when you're in a real truly depressive state. I suspected this long time ago though.

    I've been through that myself — even 2–3 mg of Xanax would feel like taking chalk or vitamins. Absolutely nothing touches that hollow, empty feeling inside. Just endless void.

  14. This headline made me do a double-take, until I realised it was #RoadSafety Great Britain rather than #RSGB (#radio society of Great #Britain) for #RadioAmateurs - TBH if any #hams *are* pulled up for #DUI (unless they are prog-rock loving #hippies who still indulge now and then , which isn't that uncommon round here, quite a few #seniors been nicked recently) its more likely to be happen due to #drugs they got prescribed legally for age-related health conditions (usually #benzodiazepines and #opiates) than #partydrugs (beware - even a legal prescription is *not* a "get out of jail free" card, and an OM who ends up mounting the kerb trying to adjust his VFO whilst driving might well be swabbed / blood tested)

  19. ENG: "Studying what happens to people after just eight to 12 weeks on antidepressants is like testing car safety by crashing a vehicle into a wall at 5km/h – ignoring the fact that real drivers are out on the roads doing 60km/h."

    ESP: "Estudiar lo que les ocurre a las personas después de tomar antidepresivos entre ocho y doce semanas es como comprobar la seguridad de un coche estrellándolo contra un muro a 5 km/h, sin tener en cuenta que los conductores reales circulan a 60 km/h por las carreteras."

  25. I feel like I'm awake for the first time in a decade.

    I started falling into #addiction at 21 when my tics started getting debilitating, and I had no idea what was going on. I was just hurting, and took #benzodiazepines often so I could act normal and resist what was happening. #marijuana and #opioids too.

    I was never trying to get high. Just not be in pain. I was also misdiagnosed, and on meds that caused me #depression too.

    I have been sober 2 years now.

  30. Apparantly it's a clonazepam kind of night. Jaw clenched for seemingly no reason. All I've been doing is relaxing.
