I'm a new member and this is my intro.
TLDR: DO NOT TAKE PSEUDOEPHEDRINE AND CANNABIS
I'm 42, and somehow made it this far. In my mid-20s I discovered pseudoephedrine + caffeine from various Internet fitness gurus and they all talked about its safety when used within protocol.
It's supposed to be even more effective the longer you use it.
Not for me, while it did help curb cravings and I lost weight. Around 32 I started hearing voices.
I had no idea it seemed so real to me but after getting kicked out the apartment for screaming stop harassing me off the balcony the voices went away.
I never made the connection to pseudoephedrine until the third time it happened around 35 and I ended up drinking a gallon of paint thinner because the voices told me it was a challenge that they would rescue me.
I ended up in the ICU for days and then the psychiatric ward.
They kept going back and forth between schizoaffective then schizophrenia then a doctor told me it was just weed.
The thing is it wasn't weed because I didn't hear voices again until the next time I started dieting and taking pseudoephedrine and the voices came back.
It became so normalized that I never even considered these little white pills are where the entire problem came from.
I'm not hearing any voices at the moment but my entire life and reputation has been completely and literally destroyed by this stupid psychosis caused by pseudoephedrine.
Now I have no job and everyone thinks I'm a nutjob or an asshole when it was all substances induced insanity.
I'm 42 and my future seems really bleak. My dad just passed away from Parkinson's and my family convinced me to buy this house which now has a leaky roof that is just more money and stress.
I can't see a future for myself so I've been practicing exit bags. I've bought three different EEBD hoods. The first one I ripped because I grabbed it off my head from SI and I'm considering using the good old fashioned plastic bag method instead because I don't think these hoods have the right valve or something.
Anyway I have a tank of nitrogen and some nice ropes for hanging and I'm just waiting for the day to do it because I don't see how I can ever repair my reputation or ever be happy again.
