Well for something different I have been on a new anti depressant and various sups for a while now and just failed a work drug test fun fun

LOL from your prescribed medication and legal supps? Surely the failure of the test won't matter then right?

I don't touch the stuff. But getting stood down from work until retest kind of sucks. Had to give them a list of what sups and meds I take.

Balls. Surely when it's cleared up you'll still be paid for the period you were on stand-down?

Your Housemate Troy:-

If he starts things and goes off onto tangents, is bubbly but gets scatty or off with the fairies, always needs company, has loose bowel motions, complains and whinges > quite probably is bipolar.

If he's a loner, broods, interfering, manipulative, opinionated, feisty, defiant and stubborn > probably short on serotonin ie passive/aggressive

He loosely fits into parts of both those categories, lol. It's really hard to tell as he's been dealing with whatever it is for quite a few years, so he's actually really good at just dealing with it. You wouldn't know he had suspected bipolar at all unless someone told you :( But definitely fits more into the bipolar "symptoms" you listed there.

A bit of an update, the mrs grabbed some Swisse Mood pills for me.

Have been taking them for the last month along with some Fish Oil, Swisse Men's Multi, Immune booster and B12 pills.

Have also been gymcercising for the last fortnight and things seem to be getting a little better. Still got a short fuse from time to time but things are appearing to get better. When something big happens, that will be when I know more.

Shall see how this goes and keep you guys posted. Hate going to the GP so haven't ventured that path yet.

Thanks for all your advice.

haha pretty bloody much hey! He and his partner's cat is actually f**king awesome, it's so close to a puppy it's not funny. Whenever his mood sinks into depression, Stitches (the cat) seems to be able to tell straight away and is immediately REALLY affectionate and loving towards him, which helps heaps. Best cat I've ever met, might as well be a dog lol...I mean it was practically raised like one :D

Fuark! That sucks mate!

Can you get a doctor's certificate to prove that you haven't been taking anything illicit? That may assist your cause and help you get back on sooner.

Yeah apparently. Just got called back in. Apparently I can drive normal vehicles but not trucks...... Can't do high risk activities even though my job consists of nothing but high risk activities playing with electricity

Only had to state meds afterwoulds and also spoke to the work doctor who said current meds and sups would not cause a non negative result. After woulds I than tried a in house test and it failed to read thc ( not failed not passed ) I than tied another one which passed. It's been a slow slow day

A workmate failed his because he ate a poppyseed muffin 2 days prior. If you can delcare, they let you stay at work provided it isn't illegal. He couldnt work it out until a doctor mentioned poppyseeds. He had a 5 day holiday.

The fun continues . Had to drive to Brisbane yesterday there and back , all up 6 hours travel in a work car. I would hate to think if there are people that fail the test that are smokers who they give the benefit of the doubt and make them do that.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
