Taken some, although not every one of my morning meds, just had to go to my docs surgery to pic up my refills, which were all due today, bar a bottle of gaviscon, as I still have some left. Just as well that I get it on prescription, as a large bottle of gaviscon liquid is REALLY expensive, considering that the ingredients are every one,

Of them massive scale pharmaceutical ingredients, Na2CO3, KHCO3, alginate (an extremely viscous naturally occurring polymer coming from alginic acid, which is found naturally, it comes from seaweed, and very very commonly used as a thickening agent in both pharmaceutical excipients and active ingredient in the case of anti gastric reflux meds, as well as for thickening foods, the rest of it are flavourings, either mint, or aniseed, both in use on truly enormous scales worldwide, and a few bits of other shite such as preservatives  (parabens, IIRC, could be mistaken there though as to the type of preservative, but I don't think so, can't be arsed getting off the sofa downstairs to go upstairs and look at the ingredients listings :P)

I get mine on prescription, thankfully; I really think the pricing of it over the counter is an unjustifiable ripoff, the large bottles are in the region of £7-ish to £8-something. The amount of gaviscon I need to use, that would fucking bankrupt me for sure, I wonder if I'd actually  be able to go 6 months without ending up penniless, sleeping under a motorway bridge on a bed made of hundreds of melted down amber glass bottles in a sort of moulded-glass cot made of all those previously emptied bottles  :chores:
                               

Just got back to finishing off this post from going to get some more of my meds, a little oxy, just 30mg, along with the remaining contents of  a pre-prepped rig that had been forgotten a little earlier, containing a bit of MS, the remainder, basically, of what cannot be dissolved in water once solubility limits are reached, and cannot be further circumvented via the means of using water of an increased temperature for the reason of not  I.V'ing water of a temperature that would burn. About to go and get myself a cap of chlormethiazole, some  clonidine, a pramipexole (dopamine receptor agonist, of the non-ergot alkaloid-based variety, agonist at D1, D2, D3 and D4, with the overall preference in terms of intrinsic agonist activity being weighted towards a D3r preference [how large a response of a drug by the cells acted upon vs the activity of the bodys own natural, native neurotransmitter for that receptor at the concentration sufficient to evoke a response of maximal amplitude being taken as 100., thats what is meant by the term intrinsic activity, ''IA'']


I want some cimetidine, but I can't find where I put the bottle.

I did, yes. And I started taking eye drops to take care of the eye infection.

Can you see any improvement?   :facepalm2:

Not yet. Maybe tomorrow.

So did I, but I decided to ignore it. :P

8mg tizanidine (a muscle relaxer that works by blocking secretion of adrenaline/noradrenaline, probably the most effective drug I've ever taken thats of the myorelaxant type, at least, those specifically designated thus, as opposed to substances that possess muscle relaxer effects incidentally, E.g alcohol, ether, chloral hydrate, weed and other cannabinoids, opiates etc.)

And 30mg morphine, 20mg of oxy with a cimetidine tablet, a cyclizine and a couple of buscopan to make sure my stomach stays well behaved and settled, which it is doing.

Just remembered I forgot to take the clonidine I went up there for also, and the gabapentin. Oh well, not a problem, I'll just pop up and grab those.

nice. i will remember that.

you'd think they'd come up with time release so i only had to remember once. but most people don't take and afternoon dose as it keeps them up at night. i took my afternoon dose 3 hours late at 6pm and overslept. usually i get up between 6:30 and 7am and today Py had to wake me up at 9:15am.
took the morning dose. so far so good.

The afternoon dosage is the hardest to remember and the worst to forget.

So, today I only had the afternoon dosage.  :laugh:

Need it, because I'll get a visitor later today who is contagiously ADHD with a passion.

I'll probably sleep like a log tonight.

  I bought cough syrup today.  I might be needing it soon.  :P

That's the first step on the road to drinking.

  It's for the upper respiratory thing I have developing.  Really.  :angel:
Drink lots of it; you won't need alcohol, or better yet, get some with codeine.
I once saw a guy in the ER who was high from dextromathorphan. He had the widest pupils in bright flourescent light. He'd gotten hold of some pure stuff that was stolen from a pharma firm. Usually what they do is drink a lot of cough syrup. I guess he didn't realize the pure stuff would be so strong.

  Mine's OTC, though I did need to show ID in order to prove that I am legally an adult.  :autism:

  I did.  Gagged on one of the L-Lysine horse pills, managed to get it down finally.  >:(
