Lol couldbe!

What kind of syrup did you get?

I got a couple of bottles of codeine syrup myself the other day while I Went into town to go pick up some stuff from the local head shop; Its OTC here, works well to take the edge off my hip and knee pain, although my doc accidentally gave me double my meds this week.

Just staying over with my friends kelli and sarah. Taken my meds, or most of them, had another oxycontin though, my hip is fucking killing me.

Hopefully that should do the trick for now, as I forgot to pack my steroid and antiinflammatory creams with me.  I'm due for getting them refilled 2 days earlier than meant to also.

  Actually sizzurp is cough syrup with codeine and promethazine; mine contains dextromethorphan, the notorious
   DXM; abusers of it are said to be  "robo-tripping."  But I didn't take *that* much, only enough for my cough.  :angel:


Likely story.

Bad Weeble.  :police:

  My considerable body weight enables me to take more syrup with few ill effects.  :angel:

I sympathze odeon. I had much the same experience, after getting some hydrogen peroxide in my eye, bleaching my hair in readiness for dying it blue. The eyedrops were almost worse than the H2O2, and damned if they did any good. Vision in one eye is reduced to a blur from more than a couple of feet away.

  Have you seen a doctor about the reduced vision?  :-\

  Never mind, just saw your answer elsewhere.  I think you need to wear goggles when mixing chemicals.  :(

Now that I am in hospital, I have to wait for the meds to be given to me. I have already had dinner so I want them now, but will probably have to wait until 8pm.

They are switching my ziprasidone over to Seroquel (quetiapine, or quietapine as I like to call it because quiet is what it makes you), hoping that it will take the edge off my anxiety. I don't like the idea too much as Seroquel is another of those meds that makes one put on weight and I am already taking lithium which causes weight gain. Still, I wouldn't mind a decent night's sleep  and that is certainly what I will get with Seroquel.

I didn't really see the point of wearing goggles just to bleach my hair. I do if I am actually working on something in the lab (excluding harmless stuff that wouldn't do any damage if it did get in there), but a full SCBA mask/rebreather would be a bit....er...overkill, just to bleach my hair.

As for when I originally fucked my eye up...

I was knocking out a coupled of kilos of GHBNa salt from GBL. Only I didn't know about needing to use boiling stones at that age, I hadn't yet gone to secondary school and learned about that.

Adjusted my goggles to scratch my nose...would you fucking well believe it, thats the exact moment it chose to erupt.

That was NOT a fun night. Cleaning gamma-butyrolactone, caustic soda, and methanol off the walls, windows, ceiling, fridge....floor....you name it, it was there, eating away at the plastic/rubber fittings.

To this day I am still pretty surprised that A-nobody said anything, B-it didn't STINK (y-Butyrolactone smells filthy awful) and C-that the caustic/GBL mix didn't eat all the paint off the walls.

Just got reminded for the evening meds.  Yup.

Uggh.

What a fucking day. No meds at all left until monday.

Aside from a box of tizanidine I didn't know I had, found on my bedroom floor.
Had to knock myself out with alcohol, bottle of champers and schnapps.

I've had mine, except for the L-Lysine. Thanks for reminding me. :)

Time for my eye drops now, I think. I got two different ones and none of them seems to be helping.  >:(

What is it? Infection, allergic reaction, something else, overreacting?

Uggh.  feel like shit.

All I've had are a bottle of weak shit codeine cough mix, a little oral morphine, and some fluro-cocaine.

No oxy or antiseizure meds until a couple of hours from now. I feel like hammered fecal matter.

It started with the eye surgery. As for why it happened, I guess I'm just lucky. :-\

Took mine. Am stopping the fluoxetine and ziprasidone, going up on the quieta- I mean quetiapine and will be starting sertraline at the end of the week. It is pretty much the last antidepressant I can try.

I am not too keen on stopping ziprasidone as it has been a good medication but apparently quetiapine can do all that and more.

I either take my meds or I die. At least the ones that keep me alive don't have side-effects
