It's a mild narcotic called Tramadol, I'll be off them real soon, but sports guys do it all the time, don't they?

You're kidding, right?

What? That's what he called it.

Check the user reviews - it's apparently highly addictive. Structurally similar to Oxycodone.

I wonder if it relaxes your muscles as good as cinnamon sticks ^.^

:lol, Unfortunately I fall under the class doesn't get high on it. Even Percacet doesn't give me a kick. I think I am one of the rare opiate resistant. Trramadol barely removes my pain, but thats ok as my Enbrel should be kicking in soon.

Cinnamon tenses my muscles and makes the pain worse.

Okee Dokee, you have more experience taking drugs than I, obviously. :lol

Weird, normally cinnamon is a relaxant. But we're all different and react to things differently ^^

I get tense and paranoidish from it, didn't used to be that way :(

all the meth must've made you backwards :O doing meth for long periods of time can supposedly change your brain's chemistry.

I've heard that, but I was like this before I did meth. I think it was all the acid I did as a teenager. Like over 300 times.

acid @_@

In the course of taking on and adopting foster children born on drugs (and having a family member on chemo), I've searched the web for all things drug-related, and stumbled upon a heinous website that didn't just describe the effects of certain drug combinations, but gave tips on how to take them so you got the best high, did not O.D. (How would they know? Don't you have to die to get this info?), how to make your own, etc. I researched it extensively, keeping my gag reflex in check, since the mothers of two of my foster children were heavy drug users, during their pregnancy up to delivery. I was a little concerned about what someone might find if they checked my web-browsing history (your life is an open book when you're harboring wards of the state) but I felt I had a pretty ironclad reasoning for doing so - the social workers were hesitant to give me the information I needed, and when they did, it was usually incorrect. Not due to negligence or lack of knowledge, but I think they were afraid of giving too much away about the parents.

Maybe I'm woefully naïve, but I was flabbergasted that stuff like that existed on the internet, and was not shut down by some FBI dude.

Someone might have but more than likely they've just taken a lot of drugs to the point that they felt like shit and realized it was a bit too much.

or maybe there's some unconscious statistical analysis going on there :O :O :O

they could've also read medical literature :(

I had a pain management dr. who wrote me a Tramadol script when I was very obviously pregnant. Didn't go back to him again.

I love it. :lol

Thus answers the question "What did dinosaurs taste like?"

Where's Max?

It seems like they'll let ANYONE practice medicine these days. >:

Great news on the stem cell front:

It's also nice to know the scientists involved have a sense of humor.

:lol

Imagine my surprise when I looked up the antibiotic my bf is on for his tooth abscess and found out it's a carcinogen.

Curing the disease, but killing the patient? :eek

"Metronidazole has been shown to be carcinogenic in mice and rats. Unnecessary use of the drug should be avoided."

What isnt a carcinogenic these days?

Nasty. Apparently nothing else touches the infection?

Our dentist office's policy is to do simultaneous scripts for m-zole and penicillin for all abscesses. They figure that if one doesn't knock it out the other will.

I've never been prescribed m-zole myself, but then again I've got one hell of a cancer history.
