Taco, Coach, Reeves, NewMom, Lesaucer, Vince and a couple of others whose names escape me right now ...
Thanks to each of you GetBiggers for this interesting 'read'!
After reading all your intelligent illegal/legal drug pro/con comments, I still find myself to be undecided one way or another.
But I have to butt in here because I have finally found a drug mentioned on this GetBig Board that I can relate to.
(Thank you very much!!!!)
Until recently I had NEVER taken anything stronger than an asperin!
And I know absolutely nothing about drugs, their names, their potency, nor their illegal street-market value.
But due to a recent operation I received a prescription for a numerous supply of Percocet (spelling) and in real small letters on the very small label it said ... "Take one tablet every six (6t) hours AS NEEDED."
I failed to read the "as needed" part and over the next three or four days I took one percocet EVERY six hours as UN-NEEDED.
I will admit that the pain was almost nil but everything else turned to shit.
So I visited my doc in a foggy, hazy condition and complained that these damn pills were fucking me up big time (always thirsty, everything tasted like cod liver oil, occasional dizzy spells ..... and I really had no appetite).
So thanks to my doc I discovered that I was taking way too many of these damn pills and was instructed to read the label more carefully, so now I am down to about one percocet every four days AS NEEDED.
It really surprises me that these damn pills are so much in demand on the 'street' .... $10 to $20 a pill and in some places much higher.
To me they are absolutely useless except to lessen pain.
Unrelated question ..... Is it humanly possible that MORPHINE shots have no affect on the decrease of pain?
I was accused of being 'crazy' when I told the medics that .... "That's not gonna help!"
But they shot me up anyway!
ANYWAY ... thanks for this intelligent conversation.
And excuse me for interrupting with my percocet escapades.
HOLD ON! I think there are a couple of cops banging on my front door!
