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 haven’t 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 hasn’t slept since April due to extreme anxiety over defrauding his fellow DUmmies by cheerleading them into donating to Andy Stephenson’s 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 methtrexate—arthritis
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, you’re 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? Isn’t 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 don’t 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.
[That’s the spirit! Face the incredible pain of this country’s 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 don’t 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! You’re 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.]
This answers a lot of questions about why Screamin' Dean is so popular with these boobs.
Better exercise extreme caution.
Tell you what, just send the unopened bottle to me and I'll run it through all the appropriate tests for you. We don't want you getting ahold of anything harmful.
Good Lord! And these people want to run the country?
Thanks. It's a daily journey.
If any of you can get to that rally on Thursday with a Freep, please post what happens in the latest DUFU thread. BTW, it is going to be FUN to see the massive DUmmie depression set in when the Downing Street Memos go NOWHERE. It will be like Jeff Gannon all over again. DUmmies getting all worked up that Bush will be impeached only to find out later that all their hopes and effort were for NAUGHT.
Oh, and photos of those DUmmie Freaks at the rally in Lafayette park would be much appreciated as well so post them here too.
You know, I figured out the "game" the DUmmie PUnidiot "William Pitt" plays, so as to double his audience from, well, uh, 14 to 28.
First, he posts a "draft" of an article, and then pulls it, later on posting the final article.
Probably it would be a good idea for the DUmmie PUnidiot "William Pitt" to make some sort of statement on what the Grand DUmbo "Skinner" calls "the Andy situation," because for a while there, many of us thought he had been fired by the Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) or something, because he had not been posting, period.
And so we thought he had lost his podium.
Well, apparently he hasn't, but it would still be a good idea for the DUmmie PUnidiot "William Pitt" to say something, anything, about what the Grand DUmbo "Skinner" calls "the Andy situation," so as to demonstrate he's still alive and kicking.
I'm wondering if CSPAN will cover the DUmmie rally at Lafayette Park on Thursday. I love it when CSPAN covers these rallies. Why? Because it is UNFILTERED and gives the public to see what a bunch of whack jobs the leftists are. When the MSM presents such rallies they FILTER out the main speakers who are the complete whackos and focus in on the one or two leftwing grandmas who might seem more presentable to the public. Therefore if CSPAN is covering this rally, I will be glued to my TV set. Would love to see Pitt get Freeped there!
Splitting out in a few minutes. Didn't see anything in DUmmieland this AM really worth DUFUing. The Downing Street Memo threads are boring. The only thing funny will be when the DUmmies finally find out those memos are going NOWHERE and there will be NO impeachment. Perhaps this evening will yield up something interesting.
Some horses do indeed run on Lasix, in order to prevent build up of fluid in the lungs when going "all out" during a race. I don't know about the past, but from at least the mid-80s until today this is all above board and regulated. Horses who use it are clearly denoted in the racing form/program and they have to go to a special barn prior to their race to have the drug administered by a state/track vet. You obviously can't have random private doctors with syringes hanging out in the barns prior to races.
SD
True,
I believe they need to show a history of bleeding though.
SD
Yes, and btw, I just now figured out that that's what the abbreviation "DSM" stands for--like this is some big deal that everybody ought to know about. Hah! What a bunch of nothing about nothing. I wonder if Pitt will get 30 people to show up.
Here are some of Pitt's threads on this monster Memo rally that will bring down the BFEE once and for all:
HEADS UP: Info on DSM Hearing/Rally coming soon
TIME AND PLACE FIXED FOR THURSDAY RALLY - new info
Hey DC DUers: Wanna get together Thursday afternoon/evening?
Or maybe he was in too much pain from his surgery for fake pancreatic cancer.
For a DUmmie, "mood stabilization" means being outraged all the time.
I guess! Or something to make them forget how stupid they are.
PJ, I hope you sent the folks at DU a thank you card for this wonderful gift.
They love to write interminable accounts about themselves and their "meet-ups" and "conferences" before the events, but other than how successful they were or who was there, little is reported after the events about what took place.
Roberts' Rules of Order might be considered too confining for the wildly enthusiastic trashing of America that inspires attendees to fling money at the feet of the conference leaders, so minutes of these meetings are probably not kept.
But I would have thought that Pitt, who seemed terribly worried that in promoting Andy's cancer for money, he may have invited slurs on his honour from those who felt cheated, would have made the effort to attend the Wash. U. conference in DC to discuss his misgivings with votetrustusa's Training Director, Andy Stephenson.
Skinner, proprietor of DU, seems heedless of his legal responsibility to exercise due diligence so that his site is not used by greedy jackals to devour the substance of the lambs that make up his flock.
Pitt is very, very excited about the Downing Street Memo rally at Lafayette Square. Kevin Zeese who serves with Andy on the votetrustusa board, has made the Memo and Impeachment his new hobbyhorse. Perhaps, Pitt has had a meeting of the minds with Zeese; forget about Andy.
Getting Bush will put Pitt up there with the big game hunters like Joe Wilson, Clarke, Rather and Mapes. Maybe he'll be invited back to Al Franken's apartment to meet with the "sharpest knives in the journalistic drawer," and maybe, this time, they won't come down on him like a brick wall for writing about it.
Pitt's honour seems to be as transient as raids on hospital mailrooms.
First off, can anyone imagine a thread like this on FR? Yeah, didn't think so.
I have some Clonazepam on hand for when I get asthma/anxiety attacks.
Like when reality hits.
I don't mean to fall way off my usual standards here, but I'm just not going for this one, and will hold my fire for the next DUFU. Besides, I have to get right on my next career goal: Getting the pharmacy concession at DU! I'll be rich beyond the dreams of avarice!
