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.

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
