Are you taking it as a supplement? if you are, make sure to take piperine with it, as otherwise, curcumin is of extremely poor bioavailability.  Unlike in spicy indian curries, stews etc. where there is almost certain to be pepper in there, although whether enough to aid absorption thats another matter, I don't know. But presumably some. Curcumin on its own is pretty pointless, likewise turmeric on its own.You'd have to consume massive, sickening quantities of the stuff. And not just rank to the consumer. PA and PR would go running for cover.

And is there any RIGHT way for that kind of thing to come out?

I'll re-read this when I wake up from my nap. Sorry, foggy minded.

In a manner of speaking.

Most things, at least the ones I needed, as per usual.

However morphine was substituted for dipropionylmorphine, save for the very first dose of morphine, in the morning to restore me to my usual self, pain free and not in discomfort. That way I could function, and as such, do what was needed in the lab.

Dipropionylmorphine is SUCH a HUGE improvement over morphine or diamorphine; the latter being 3-4x the potency of morphine, roughly similar duration of action, but faster acting an.d somewhat different subjectively speaking. Dipropionylmorphine is as manyfold as potent as diamorphine, as that is to morphine, and both much much faster acting, a ton more euphoric, longer lasting  (I'd get 6 hours, 7 at most from morphine sulfate or diamorphine but 15 hours, even 20 from dipropionylmorphine, from a single dose, compared to the 6-7 hours from morphine or the diacetyl diester) and if used IV, then there is less histamine release than morphine, still, more so than H. Which is just about right, because I like there to be some, just not too much, and IV, there is one HELL of a rush, and a delightfully warm fuzzy 'wrapped up in cotton wool' feeling afterwards. Plus faster onset, and the effects once the rush declines  is still quite long lived.

Has to be, at least thus far, my favourite of all the Mu-opioid receptor agonists I have ever tried. Bar maybe oral methadone, although I've ever had that a couple of times. Intend to explore that one a little more soon. Still, dipropionylmorphine is one top-notch MOR agonist:)

Yes.  But I didn't take enough water and I had a wave of curry (turmeric) coming the wrong way.

  I think the gelatin coating on my Strattera upsets my stomach at times.  I have to stay vertical
   and take it easy for awhile, or just be sure not to take it on a completely empty stomach.  :sick:

No, I literally JUST opened my eyes and woke up.

Got to prepare more of one med, and a second, later on.

Right now I am tired, sleepy and once I've checked a few forums for new posts I'm going back to sleep.

  Might as well take 'em.  I've been awake since around 1:30 a.m., it's now a little before 6. :zombie:

Finished cooking up the dipropionylmorphine.

Had a lovely LOOOONG nap on the sofa after tasting of the results:) Just below 700mg or so done, which should last me the rest of the week:).
Just woke up and deliciously sleepy, in that somewhat bleary-eyed but relaxed and the better for a long rest kind of way. I think I might have overexerted myself last week as I've really needed to catch up on sleep.

Xanax
Vicodin
Protonix

Sadly, my anxiety is pretty much daily now so they are exploring a daily anxiety medication rather than the as-needed Xanax, which I am taking pretty much 1-2/day.

I need to make a decision, but am out so much money on my car this month and just paid off my last two surgieries last month, that I am waiting to go back until my CC clears on the 10th.

I know the pain of being broke all too well, so I sympathise.

If its available trigger, you might want to try chlormethiazole (aka chlomethiazole, they changed the name here) its strong as all hell, but it oddly, doesn't seem to cause too much tolerance, i didn't get any dependency taking 2x/D (its intermediate duration acting), its an old, old drug, barbiturate binding site agonist at GABAa but without the AMPA blockade of barbs, very clear headed, and hangover free. I take it still, for seizure prophylaxis although not indicated for that, and i would prefer it to any barbiturate, benzo, chloral hydrate, or indeed anything else at all, save MAYBE the brominated equivalent of chlormethiazole, although its not as stable in storage as chlormethiazole and needs making. If needs be this one can be made in two steps from vitamin B1 too, which is handy in emergencies such as more seizures than usual.
