My concentration is off -- I find myself easily distracted, and have a hard time focusing on anything in-depth -- but I am hoping this will pass in the next few days. The best I can do is hope and avoid the cocaine. ###$$$ hello again....i think the bottom line is that the booze likely overshadows everything, with the very short exceptions of the coke, and there are a lot of variables in the mix to consider. the plan sounds good and stick to it, a lot of the substance use is hand-in-hand - like cigarettes and booze, a classic... $$$

$$$ no insinuation on my part, just that one time use of anything might be an outlier and the further one goes into lack of QA/QC on substance, dose, other substances, the more likely a hit. this is why i suggested that the alcohol, mood, and meds combo is a larger handful to manage than (arguably?) alcohol/mood; mood/meds; or alcohol/meds. that is a likely reason your pdoc - and i would assume many - make it clear that the drug/alcohol introduction is a no-go, as it is up to the patient to monitor, and they might not be in the right range to make the therapy/meds effective to the prescriber. $$$

> ### I felt pretty lousy the day after, and popped a couple Seroquel two nights in row to continue a prolonged slumber. Rebound hypersomnia and then some. Probably wasn't the smartest move, but perhaps it explains some of the pseudostupor I'm having today -- slight slurring of speech in particular (I believe this has happened before and passed, but anything to worry about here aside from the depression as its possible cause?).$$$ if it lasts a few days and gets worse and (very important here) an unsolicited comment to you by a friend/colleague/etc. along the lines of ``are you drunk?'' or ``why are you slurring?'' means you really *are* slurring your speech and not fixating upon the possibility and making it a reality...$$$$

> I need to quit obsessing about this ... it's done, the brain is quite flexible in its reaction to toxic substances, and the fact that I am able to concentrate at least a little bodes well that I'll recover within days. At least, unless there's a delayed onset of these drugs' effects. I wonder. ###$$$$ not coke, ketamine, alcohol, probably 2000+ compounds in cigarettes, or pot in terms of producing the desired effect; it takes longer for the scripted meds to do their thing or not, as you know...$$$$
