the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Okay, from perusing some web sites, other opiates (percocet, vicodin) can ameliorate withdrawal, BUT, like AmyLiz said, it's risky b/c it's an opiate.

Less risky, but still helpful, is anything with codeine, or the drug Darvon (propoxyphene).

And, oddly, a blood pressure drug, clonidine, has been used effectively in withdrawal cases since 1978-ish, though I don't know if your character(s) would know that. Its potential side effects are (obviously) hypotension and its accompanying symptoms (dizziness, cold extremities), as well as sedation.

And I will go check my e-mail right now....

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Oh, PERFECT!

I just know how to wade through the tangle of Google results, and then interpret them, is all.

I figured out the problem with the bad file last night -- it, for some reason was only 7.6 K in size. The new one? Is 62.9 MB, which is more like the others. I'm sure this one will work just fine.

Yay!

Nic just sent me an interesting linkg about a a new withdrwal wonder drug. Not useful for me in terms of the book, I don't think, but fascinating stuff and maybe useful if there are more in this series.

Actually, how long should "Tore Up Over You" run? As as .wav file, it's 12 minutes, and as an mp3, it's 2 minutes. Something is weird. Though at least I got it to convert this time.

t edit I'm assuming 12, rather than 2, given the lengths of the other songs.

t edit again No -- the .wav just cut off after 2 minutes. This is maddening.

DAMN it. Bizarro-land, and it's one of the best songs in the set, and yeah, 12 minutes or thereabouts.

Snarl.

But nice piano.

I'm running the SHN through another conversion program, to see if that can pull the whole thing out. It's weird that the WAV looks like it wants to be 12, but will only play 2.

(natter, but since this is the soundtrack for R&RNF, not complete natter)

Teppy, Nic glaring at it and muttering, even as we speak...

Heh. Well, give me a minute with this other program first.

t edit Nope -- still getting only 2:18 from the file.

Teppy, Nic says that, converting it to a WAV, he gets a file size of 126,611K
