Title: Cluster Buster vs topical steroid
Post by slacker032 on Apr 21^st, 2006, 8:23pm

I was recently prescribed a topical sterroid ear drop for an infection but I'm hesitant to use it since I plan on dosing again tonight to break my cycle. I know that oral steroids such as prednisone can interfere with the Cluster Busting effects. Any idea if topical steroids do as well?

Also, I have the same question about Dramamine. I normally take 2 tabs before I sleep to counteract the morning attacks but I'm wondering if it interferes at all with the shrooms.

That's quite an unusual post, indeed...

Take your Dramamine before you sleep to counteract the morning attacks and don't use the shrooms until 12 hours after you took the dramamine the night before.

I do not believe that short-term use of topical steroids will interfere with the "Cluster Busting effects" of shrooms.

There is some data that suggests topicals can interfere. They may even interfere a bit longer than oral steroids since it may hang around in the tissue longer and not be cleared out by the digestive system.
Not a lot to go on yet but its something I would be aware of as a possibility.

Cute. You know, on some sites, your post would be labeled as coming from a troll, since you obviously were trolling for a response....well, here it is:

I'm guessing you don't understand the purpose of the Medications Board since you spend your time, among other things, helping people find racist sites on the general Board. Maybe you think that racist humor is a cluster treatment for the soul. If so, its probably posted on the wrong board.
Let me help you out. On this board, people discuss things that might help people actually remove some of the pain in their lives. Sometimes people disagree. If someone had all the answers, no one would need this board.

Funny that I've never heard you tell someone they were on their own when people disagree upon whether or not Lithium or Topamax or surgery will help someone in particular. You tell them that the family just disagrees sometimes, as all families will do.
I take it this to mean that people that are "busters" aren't part of the family??

You've taken your personal vendetta against one person, followed him to this foreign land called Medications, Treatments, Therapies, and have transferred your angst onto a third party looking for help.
I guess you have no problem with collateral damage.

If Slacker was on his own, he wouldn't have gotten two answers. Although they may not agree, they do explain that there is more to learn. If we didn't care, opposing positions wouldn't have been posted. We'd have let one stand. You certainly wouldn't/couldn't have commented on the validity of one position or the other.
Of course, you could have supplied him with some helpful information from the family, had you really felt bad about him being on his own. ::) Rather than casting him adrift.

Instead you tell him he's on his own? C'mon jonny. Thats not like you...and you know it.

Sorry Bob, not my subject to comment on seeing that I know nothing about it. I was just going on what he was left with.

It's ok. I had my say. Thanks for the response.
