Don't do it, Doggers. Those things are hugely addictive.

What were you prescribed?!

What drugs and why?

I'm telling you, Doggers, playing around with painkillers is more dangerous than snorting the odd line of coke

I'm not taking them kids!  I was just making the point that... fvck what I am doing is dull ;)

Drugs for a cracked jawbone. doesn't actually hurt today as it was only a hairline fractured.  Dental procedure gone wrong.

Sorry Dusty... Tramodol.

I got prescribed the codeine/ibuprofen mix last year when i popped a rib.  i only took them once, they made me feel well weird. (er)

"I don't need the painkillers today ... but I'm considering taking them cos, fvck me, this sh1t is harder to look at when you aren't off your face"

this is what you wrote. makes them alarm bells ring

They cracked your jaw??

Was that to get you to stop talking so they could get to work 

See's a 30 year old woman DD... ...with a string of men behind her. If she wants drugs...

What's a popped rib? Sounds quite tasty with salt.

Sorry DD.... I wasn't seriously considering it ;)

The mental image that promotes is... exhausting ;)

Your ribs are stuck on to your spine or breast bone with cartilage Fluffster.  I had such a bad cough one year I ripped out the cartilage at the back.  it has not played well with the front either since then. 

ps heh at ddk giving advice on drugs 

I was prescribed Percocet after having some wisdom teeth taken out and had to stop taking it. Was just making me too dopey.

Hozza gave me a load of co-dydramol atfer stitching me up after I fell off a yacht.  Only ever took one of them, I was off my tits within minutes.

Jesus wept, tramodol, co-dydramol? Those are ridiculously weak and shouldn't have anywhere near an effect approaching weird.  Even zapain, the Codene mix with paracetamol isn't exactly a burden.  Percocet, I'll grant, is getting close to something resembling a more powerful sedative but gods I take so much stronger than that every single day.  Odd.  

I got dihydrocodeine from the hospital recently and they are amazing for pain but I don't really get any sort of buzz from them. if anything just a bit of nausea.

Yeah but Tecco... you're a delusional fantasist...

Wangsun - you need to sell that stuff to the kids.  There isn't a pill on the market that combines codeine and an NSAID.

Skool me if I'm wrong, cos I'd be bang on it.

I am I'm sure but I'm also on a huge regime of drugs to help keep me sane.  And not just to tranq me, I do also have major painkillers for my knee.

Brrrap - pretty sure it was zapain which is a paracetamol mix not nsaid.

Codeine in particular has a massively varying effect depending on the individual.  My mum always complains about being wary of taking her mid-strength Cocodamols because it makes her feel weird whereas I spent months with a prescription of max strength Cocos knocking back 8 a day and it doing little more than taking the edge off the pain I was in.

Amitriptyline on the other hand was proper weird.  Taking me from someone with pretty much constant mild insomnia to someone who lay down and then woke up the next morning with a complete absence of the period in between.

I take 40mg amitriptaline every night heh.  Zopiclone is the best for sleep IMO.

^^whoop di fooking do, and I'm the druggie here?

you druggy fuktits.  wrong forum.

DD - I take a lot of prescribed drugs for medical purposes.  Slightly different to needing to do a few lines of Charlie before wandering around the V&A.

I would never have guessed that this thread would go this way. 

heh@buzz

I was prescribed low dose amitriptyline for focal migraines a few years ago. I didn’t take them after I read the possible side effects. Very risk averse me! As it happens they’d have done fook all as I’ve discovered via my neurologist that mine are caused by a physiological issue and not a chemical imbalance. Docs way too keen on dishing out drugs rather than looking at other possibilities. 

I have a cupboard full of the good stuff and the very good stuff. It does not make the boredom any better. 

It just makes me feel like I am trying to make my brain walk up an escalator the wrong way, all while being utterly bored.

I took a nurofen plus this morning and I feel high.

Scylla... ...on that topic, how are you mending? 

Judy, that's the lack of food...

Did they not warn you about mixing nurofen with steamed broccoli?

Slowly but surely Fluffy.  

I'm trying to wean myself off all the drugs at the moment as they just make me so tired. 

Overall, I'm much, much better than I ever dared hope to be. On some days I'm pretty much totally normal and able to do whatever I want. 

Yet I still do have day to day challenges and on other days am severely restricted in what I can do

The real problem however is I never know what a day is going to be like in advance so it is very difficult to make any plans.  I haven't done any travelling since the last operation so... 

Onwards and upwards then?  Good stuff.

...well the positive is that you have 'normal' days at all. It could have been so grim...

...sorry to hear about the travel. Does that mean the home project is postponed?

I'm feeling a bit lost all round if I'm honest Fluffs. 

I still don't know what life is going to look like long term so it's really hard to make any decisions.

Also I am basically a shut in hermit these days, as I rarely leave my house, so life is very monotonous and I'm not sure anymore how I would survive anywhere anymore without Netflix, Wagamama food delivery and door to door delivery of almost anything and everything else. 

Home project proceeds... I have to send final instructions to the architect for plans this weekend. 

But I have 5 years once the approval is given to start building.. which means that it's not a pack your bags and go home right now thing anyway.

Yes please 

Yet again ROF misses the point.

Doggerz - please dscrb museums.

Museums are buildings where antiquities are held and catalogued.  They are generally open to the public at certain times.

Does that help BC? ;)

Not really... ;)

I want your take on Sir John Soane's Museum on temazepam at least. Preferably with pics.

Ah, now I geddit!  That comment wasn't mine.

I have a very very low tolerance for drugs and alcohol. One wine and I'm anybodies, two and I wouldn't notice.... I feel high with paracetamol... so I never take them.

I have some cocodamol which a friend gave me, one of which knocks me out for 24 hours.

I am a lightweight.  Mind you I never drank at all until 30 so that may explain it.

TBH coffee and chocolate are quite serious drugs too.  As is cinnamon - absolutely mental psychotropic.  

But because these are familiar household items have few immediate bad effects we don't take them all that seriously.  

@brrap I will check when i get home but i .fairly sure they a boots' generic.  

As is cinnamon - absolutely mental psychotropic.  

I didn't know this. As kids, my mum used to give us cinnamon sticks to chew on. Whole ones. I'd work through one or two in an afternoon then watch the Magic Roundabout. You're telling me that was a documentary and all the colours, flowers, mines full of sugar cubes, guitar playing hippie rabbit and moustachioed one legged man with a spring coming out of his backside were in my imagination?

I tried taking 5mg or 10mg of amitryp and it knocked me so sideways I stopped whereas by dear brother has been taking it for nut-nut issues for decades at hospital doses of 100mg / day and still manages to get up. Doesn't admittedly function much but tells me it would be worse without.

I've had diamorphine a couple of times for pain relief. It had a very weird effect on me and not in a good way.

Codeine has no effect on me at all.
