Are there any pharmacologists out there? I will probably need your professional help in sorting out the MANY mood-altering meds listed in this DUmmie THREAD titled, What meds do you take? Since the DUmmies have been spending much of their time escaping into an alternate reality, it is interesting to see what powerful drugs they have to ingest to accomplish this task. For example, I am figuring that it must take some POWERFUL acid to alter the DUmmie mind to the extent that they BEEEELEEEEEVE that John Kerry was inaugurated on Jan. 20. High drug dosage is so common in DUmmieland that I am surprised they havent established a DUmmie Pharmacy to distribute the meds necessary to enter their own alternate reality. The only med your humble correspondent takes currently (other than prescription blood pressure pills) is the non-prescription and VERY SMOOOOOTH slow aged Flor de Caña rum. Perhaps the DUmmies should think of switching to Flor de Caña rum. Not only would they pleasantly mellow out, but a few of them might actually relax enough to get a slight bit of common sense in their system. So let us now view the pharmacologically mind-altered DUmmie posts in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, anxiously awaiting the warm glow of his evening dosage of slow aged Flor de Caña, is in the [brackets]:
What meds do you take?
[As mentioned above, only a couple of glasses of slow aged Flor de Caña rum per evening. Right now my prescription is for the 7 year old rum but perhaps someday I will become worthy enough qualify for the 12 year old Flor de Caña rum or maybe, just maybe, I can even think about aspiring to the 18 year old Flor de Caña rum. However, let us now view the LOOONG list of mind altering meds you DUmmies are desperately ingesting to kill the pain of our current REPUBLICAN reality.[
Don't answer if it is too personal; I understand. I have some Clonazepam on hand for when I get asthma/anxiety attacks. .5 mg is very weak... but I'm rocking 2 of the suckers right now so I'm at 1mg as we speak. Fairly relaxing since it is a benzodiapene.
[When the pain of seeing George W. Bush in the White House becomes too great, just pull the axe off the wall and break open that emergency bottle of benzodiapene.]
here we go... i hate drug names... so... unfriendly...minocycleine so i dont get all pimple-y and zyrtec so i can breathe during the months where everythign isnt frozen over.
[Zyrtec is also great for helping you to perform simple body functions during the months when your mind is frozen over.]
I take tons of medicine.Here's the list: Paxil for depression,Xanax for anxiety/panic attack,Dalmane to sleep,Ventolin for asthma,Trazodone as anti-depressor and sleeping aid and Advair for asthma.Plus some generic painkillers for chronic pain.I'm only 37 but my grand father who is over a 100 is in better shape than me.Pretty depressing isn't it.
[May I forward that EXTENSIVE med list over to Pied Piper Pitt since he hasnt slept since April due to extreme anxiety over defrauding his fellow DUmmies by cheerleading them into donating to Andy Stephensons non-existent pancreatic cancer operation?]
Oh geez, where to begin. I am an exercise in polypharmacy.
Synthroid for hypothyroidism
Topamax for mood stabilization and migraine
prophylaxis
Verapamil for migraine prophylaxis
Imitrex and Amerge PRN as migraine abortives
Vicodin PRN as a migraine rescue med
Percocet PRN for menstrual cramps
I also take various OTCs as needed and daily vitamin/mineral/other supplements.
[Perhaps you should simply cover your body with a giant prophylaxis to blot out the unpleasant reality of a REPUBLICAN White House, Congress, and Judiciary.]
just a handful
Diclofenac--arthritis prednisone--arthritis methtrexatearthritis
Verapamil--blood pressure Dyrenium--water pill
[When Cheney is elected in 08 you might want to consider adding cyanide to that list.]
migraine & allergy meds:
migraine prophylaxis:
singulair (normally prescribed for asthma, which i do not have)
petadolex (an herb)
co-q10
migraine prn:
zomig (i rotate between zomig and imitrex when my body adjusts)
stadol (narcotic, only if zomig fails)
allergy prophylaxis:
nasonex
allergy prn:
semprex-d
[Methinks that on Election Night of 2008, youre going to have to TRIPLE your med dosage for migraine.]
methadone- 60-70mg daily for chronic pain
flexeril- 50-60mg daily
prednisone- 10mg every other day
ambien- occasionaly for help sleeping
[Methadone? Isnt that a med that is supposed to substitute for heroin? In any case, I think you will be shooting up heroin directly into your arm on Election Night 2008 in an attempt to kill the pain. But dont worry. Susan Estrich will be in even WORSE shape than you.]
I'm sure if I went and got checked out I'd be prescribed half a dozen or so medications for depression and anxiety, but I prefer to wallow in my own misery.
[Thats the spirit! Face the incredible pain of this countrys dominant conservatism without resorting to any of those pansy meds.]
I Got You All Beat:
Daily: Cozaar, Tolinase, Actos, Lasix, Lopid, Elavil, Buspar, Topamax, Vicodin, Lomotil, QVar, Atrovent, Albuteral
As Needed: Norco, Fiorinal, Maxalt, Imitrex Stat Dose, Phenergran, Ditropan, Rantidine, Flexeril, Soma
Often on: Cipro and/or Nitrofuratoin
[Braggart!]
Anti-depressants - for me - all seem to make sex less enjoyable, which in turn causes even more depression. Is this just me, or do other people experience the same thing? The problem here in the UK is that doctors are overworked and far less inclined to spend time tweaking meds until they get things just right for a patient, which I find incredibly frustrating
[But but I thought Britain had this WONDERFUL nationalized health care system that all you DUmmies seem to be boosting! And now you tell me that the doctors in the UK nationalized health care system dont have much time for their patients. I am so depressed hearing this that I need to pop a prozac.]
i was on Clonazepam, Trazadone, zoloft, valium, wellbutrian and several others. I had really bad depression after the birth of my child and my inlaws didn't help. They told me that I was crazy and making it up cause I wanted attention. I went to several docs and they had me drugged up. I was so high that I was almost drooling. I finally got sick of it all and quite all them. I really do need an anti-depressant but I am afraid to be a zombie again.
[Newsflash, DUmmie earthmama! Youre STILL drooling.]
I don't like the idea of being hooked on chemicals for life, basically. What if there's a terrorist attack/nuclear winter and I can't get it? What if there's a recall because it's really ruining my liver (or whatever)? I wish I could find some kind of natural remedy, or be cured or something. But it's way easier to take my medicine and be on to other things.
[My suggestion is to build a vast underground fallout shelter to store all your meds.]
Ziac (keeps my BP down) Cymbalta (an SSRI)
Gabapentin (add'l depression treatment)
Prevacid (keeps my gorge from rising, all you Shakespeare fans)
I used to take Vioxx. Rasser frasser... I now take Aleve and Tylenol as if they were M&Ms. I honestly don't know what I'd prefer -- increased risk of heart attack, or this f*cking pain.
[Look at the bright side of it, DUmmie bertha katzenengel. At least you are no longer a Vioxx addict. Now take two Tylenols to kill your f*cking pain.]
Duragesic, Lortab, Soma, Naproxen and Ambien...There's more. Can't remember them all for obvious reasons.
[The obvious reason being that your meds have killed your long and short term memory or would be able to produce your extensive med list.]
Thanks..But it's been almost 3 yrs(7/4/02) since it happened...I've learned to "live with it" I do use heat and booze...I don't have insurance...And I don't feel I'm bad enough off to try to live off the govmt..But I will use student loans(which I WILL pay back)
Hopefully I can wish you a Happy Birthday sometime in the coming year. Congratulations on kicking your habit.
If they're so happy, why are most of them on anti-depressants? If you read a few DUmpster threads you get the impression that all of them are either seriously depressed or perpetually angry at the world. Or both.
Since we are on the subject of meds, has anyone tried Scar Zone (silicone as active ingredient)? It is supposed to fade away scars. I just bought some and I am hoping it works. I have 10 scars on my left forearm (only 5 are fresh) and I am really tired of people asking me if I was mauled by a dog. Anybody have any experience with any of these creams for scarring?
Any of the "scar removers" only work 15-20% of the time in adults, results are better with children..
This according to JAMA- The journal of the american medical association
"Any of the "scar removers" only work 15-20% of the time in adults"
Thanks! Well, I guess some chance is better than no chance.
The bottle itself is small, like about 1/2 a fifth (I'm not home to look at it, so this is a guess), but about 20% has evaporated from the sealed bottle.
Probably not any good anymore, but a curiousity at the least.
Thats a curious item. I'd bet the alcohol content is probably pretty low now. Sounds like the seal has allowed evaporation of the alcohol. I'd be curious about the origins. You might look at some of the aution sites and get an idea of it's worth.
anti-kill-people-with-chainsaws-pills
Ooooh... I've seen those!
They're the pretty purple ones, aren't they... ;-)
bookmark... good night all
With all the other dope they take, they could care less about cholesterol.... ;-)
Why are you making of fun of people because they are mentally ill enough to require medication? I think people being mentally ill is more sad than anything else.
I've had it stored away for a couple of years now, so my memory of the distiller etc. is vague, but I do remember my father telling me about the sailing ship story when we took it out of my Uncle's house around 20 years ago. If the tale is true, it's something that'll never be made again.
Most assuredly. Now, I wonder how many of them live in Florida...
Oh, never mind. None of them is a conservative talk show host, so they are "innocent"...
And guess what she's talking about. . . . Some guy . . . uh . . . er . . . staring at her . . . well, top half. So to speak.
A question for men (or women of course)
Speed, don't you dare.
You have missed the entire point of this thread. These people are trying to outdo each other in naming all the meds they take. It it a badge of honor to them. No one here is making fun of ill people. We are making fun of people that post long lists of their medications on the World Wide Web!!
He's not making fun of the fact that the DUmmies are depressed, he's making fun of the fact that they're depressed on account of Kerry's failure to materialize on January 20th to make his inaugural speech, among other things.
Hell, if I were forced to spend time with this DUmmie all I'd be doing is staring at her chest, too. Not because I'm usually that captivated by the female anatomy: there's just not much else to do when trying to converse with a girl who's dumber than a sack of rocks.
