Pill reading


Recommended Posts

[El...]

@[Ra...] I am not sure I understand your question.  If you are taking a 1 mg pill, it probably weighs much more than 1 mg.  Most pills weigh about 10× more because of fillers, binders, coatings etc.  So, if you weigh your pill it may weigh nearly 1 gram.  If you have a 0.001 gram scale and the pill does weigh 1 gram, you would read the 1.000 grams. It might weigh, for example, 0.998 grams.  That is what you would see on your scale and what you would read.

Am I understanding your question correctly?

I didn't use a scale, Sweetie, I crushed up the pill and mixed it with liquid, and then measured it in a liquid syringe. Then took out however much I wanted to cut. ❤️

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think you could be asking one of two questions.

1.  Are you saying that your pill weighs 20 mg or 0.020 grams on your scale?  If that is the case, and you only want to take 1 mg, you would need to weigh out 0.001 grams (1 mg) on your scale.  The problem I see is that if you have a jeweler's scale, while theoretically it can weigh to 0.001 grams (1 mg), in reality its accuracy is approximately +/-0.002-0.003 grams (+/- 2-3 mg).  It will be difficult to consistently weigh with any accuracy 1 mg.

2.  Or are you saying that you want to reduce 1 mg from your 20 mg pill?  If that is the case, subtract by: 0.020 - 0.001 = 0.019 grams (read on your scale) or 19 mg. Again, this will be 0.019 grams +/- 0.002-0.003 grams.

Does that help?

I use plant milk. It's thicker and the drug mixes more evenly I find. Hope you are alright. 💕

How much milk you take in syringe?  I mean current dosage??

@[Ta...]I am using  20ml water for 20mg tablet and take 1ml solution from syringe. 

my ratio is 20mg pill:20ml water 

My current dose is one ml. 

I take one ml in syringe. 

I think water does not mixing tablet correctly. 

After switching to solution form i crash with akathisia. 

What do you think if i switch back to pill akathisia can resolve.?

Right now I'm at .375 mg. So I take 3/4 of the .5 pill because I'm holding. So I'm eating the dry pill. But when I cut (soon) I'll use the syringe. 

I don't know about going back to the dry pill if the akathesia will resolve. For me, the akathesia had to do with too much serotonin. Increasing nitric oxide reduces serotonin very quickly for me. Things like beet root juice or extract and grape seed extract can  increase nitric oxide pretty quickly. I use cranberry and tart cherry juices and organic blueberries to increase N.O. and akathesia resolves! Also, humming, then breath thru your nose, then exhale slowly thru your mouth, and N.O. will increase.

This lowers serotonin and resolved akathesia for me very quickly.
