I was told to take two whole Xanax to relax me for the last cortisone injection into my back.
Oh, yeah, and I've taken Valium when I've had to get my eye zapped (not Lasik, long story) but it didn't do what it was supposed to do, which is calm me down and reduce my nausea enough to keep me from almost fainting.
Oh Scrappy, that is awful and very sad. Much ~ma her way to get through this.
Scrappy, how awful. One of my coworkers had a 1.3 baby this fall and life is just so terrifyingly fragile at that stage.
I had Valium before my LASIK. I could totally get used to it.
I had Valium both times before they did icky stuff to my eye. The Valium was about as fun as the eye thing was not....
I had Valium before my LASIK. I could totally get used to it.
Cash, do you think that some people just have addictive physiologies? It would make total sense to me.
I had codeine cough syrup during the plague last year and that stuff was faaaantastic. i'm just not getting the vicodin and oxy. maybe it's just that it acts on different parts of the brain and i'm not susceptible to the stuff. much like my poor younger cat is not sensitive to nip. poor dude.
eta: *sigh* i am so ready to climb back into bed and sleep some more.
The thng I really loved was flexeril. Although it also may have been the reduction in pain.
My deceased cat, Mr. Kitty, seemed to react to the nip like it was opium. He was so blissed out, he looked like he should have a cat sized hookah by his side.
I'm also on flexeril. The prescription says to take one at bedtime. In practice, it knocks me out, so whatever time I take it ends up to be bedtime.
Amarna gets zonked out when she has nip. She knows where I keep it, in the coffee table drawer which is now covered with claw scratches all along the top edge because she scratches at it until I pull out the little tub and place a big pinch of nip on her kitty crack pad. She'll eat it all up and then just lay there, vegged out for a while.
