    I have a feeling the commenter does not know what Oxford Comma is. Either that, or it flew over my head…

      Yeah this is the second time I came across this post, still equally confused what the Oxford comma has to do with it.

      Edit: Oh it says coma, not comma!

      And why it should be a little easier to get. Bad day at work? Well, you can have a bottle of scotch, scream at your wife and wake up feeling like shit, or a single dose ketamine nasal spray and youre not doing shit besides waking up feeling fine. Same goes for quetiapine, a lot of really bad nights of mine could have been handled way better with a few Seroquel instead of getting loaded up on booze. I’m unpredictable when I’m drunk. It’s frustrating to me that our pharmacists can’t be a monitored but compassionate dispensary for useful chemicals. They already keep track of how much ephedrine I buy, why can’t some decent downers make that list?

          Do you prescribe it for maintenance use or for acute treatment? I think it’s use as a maintenance drug should be significantly reduced from how frequently it is now. If anyone thinks SSRIs make them a zombie, try taking 25mg of Seroquel with breakfast. I was in an IOP group where multiple people DROVE with that shit in their system, because they used it for maintenance. Had to bite my tongue there I’m obviously not the doctor.

    Sleep more. Have exclusive rest days. Make time for a nice breakfast and a walk. Go swimming or something.

    Personally I’ve found that post seizure sleep is the best sleep I’ve ever had. Woke up incredibly rested!

    I don’t recommend this option.

    Anesthesia was great. It was like being turned off and then being turned on again. Instant time travel, no side effects except for what they did to my balls but I think that wasn’t part of the plan…

      it could’ve been “like” it could’ve been for real! we actually have no idea how exactly anesthesia works, we just found a substance that knocks us out and probably makes it so we can’t feel anything, and we mastered using it, but nobody really knows the exact mechanism of how it works :)

        Do have more information about the mysteries of anesthesia?

        I really enjoyed the non-experience of it, at east the two times I had it in the 2020s. I’ve had it once before in the 80s but that involved a lot of puking and feeling weird and miserable.

        Not sure if the technology has advanced or I had better anesthesiologist or it’s harder to get it right with children or a combination of these factors.

          not really! the wikipedia page is a good source information about what we know about it, for the unknowns looking around online for like “how does anesthesia work exactly” leads you to experts just going “idk, but it does work so”

    I got put under on fentanyl twice in the past year for surgery and that shit was like the best hibernation rest reset ever. Ill never dabble with heroin or fent etc as it leads to horrible things but i can definitely see the initial attraction

      You see, you just need an anesthesiologist buddy to hang out and monitor your vitals. That’s the only difference between fent coma at the hospital vs at home. My doc Friday hit me with the Midazolam first, I think expecting it to take me under. No no my friend, that feels very nice. May I have more? Idk if the propofol wasn’t ready to go yet or something, because she hit me with the mid again and laughed as I fogged out. Jokes on you lady, I held on to the memory of being higher than gods pussy for a few minutes.

      Yeah, i got hooked on fent patches for managing my chronic pain and me liking it a bit too much and using them not in the intended way. I’ve been told that heroin is a lot more pleasant, like falling in a loving embrace in comparison to fentanyl.

      I’m on substitution now, and happy to be off something that could have killed me, but the craving still comes back every few days for a while.

    After I had my gall bladder out I was zonked on pain meds and catheterized so I never had to get up to pee. It was pretty sweet.

        No. At least, I don’t think so. They really could have put anything in there while I was out.

          Surgical tech here! …pig gallbladder transplants aren’t a thing. Not a normal thing at least - maybe some obscure experimental surgery tried it once, but nothing’s coming up on a quick web search. Pig skin can be used as a temporary graft over a burn or something; and we use other animal parts like cow veins for vascular grafts. But gallbladders, we just take em out and call it good. Sometimes we don’t take the whole thing, and leave a little pouch so that some function remains, but typically it’s yoinked out and that’s that.
