With the kind of medications he is taking he must be flying high.
""It takes at least 10 minutes and a large glass of orange juice to wash down all the pills - morphine, methadone, a muscle relaxant, an antidepressant, a stool softener. Viagra for sexual dysfunction. Valium for his nerves.""
Back in the 70's, I would take that on a Saturday night before going to studio 54. I washed mine down with Jack Daniels though. The man is a lightweight.
morphine AND methadone? Gee whiz, I didn't think they prescribed methadone to anyone unless they were opiate addicts in the first place. Since these 2 also cause constipation, I suppose the stool-softener is a must.
It sounds like much of his illness is probably caused by the drugs he is taking.
