...on legal drugs that were prescribed for me!...and it sucked. Middle (and East) Georgia had a really sucky ice storm this weekend, and I had to go out in it. Needless to say, it bit me in the ass. My sinuses fucked up, and things went downhill from there. So, since I was miserable as all hell, I went to the infirmiry...I came out of there with freakin horse pills (HUGE pills..for someone with a sore throat...and in a childproof bottle...I have arthritis...) that took my appetite, made me hallucinate, and then upset my stomach....I feel really fucked up now..

Just thought I'd spread my misery around a little.

Any particularly interesting hallucinations? :)

Whoa.
Pills for a sore throat made you hallucinate?
:(
That must have sucked.

Any idea what it was that did that? The only things in any of the pills I've ever had for sore throats were painkillers.

I hallucinate without trying. Once, I spent six years in a forced labour camp, only to wake up and discover I'd been asleep for 20 minutes before I stood up and tried to dig with no spade or, indeed, bare earth.

Once I thought I was eating a bunch of tiny pillows and when I woke up, my marshmallows were gone! :eek:

It was a mixture of Guaifenex and 600mg of Motrin...I'm a very small-framed person, so that shit was about like a cup of Theraflu with a shot of Everclear...


My betta fish, Jabberspawn, was talking to me in a threatning tone...that's how I knew I should stop taking the shit.

What a cool name for a fish.

That's weird. You had a very unusual reaction. Those drugs aren known to cause hallucinations. Maybe you had a bad fever?

It's known to cause confusion, and if you mix that with a painkiller OD, that's how I react to some things. I think I'm chemically imbalanced or something...that, or the low blood sugar came back to bite me in the ass.

What a cool name for a fish.

I named him after one of the monsters from American McGee's Alice -- they eat things they shouldn't, and the little guy had gnawed his own tail off at Wal-mart, so I couldn't resist.

'This just in - AFS's fish Jabberspawn has been handed to the authorities to day in the Cheyenne mountain complex. Scientists are baffled, but early experiments point towards a communist plot to take over America using secret agent fish'

Yeah, i'm surprised too.
But knowing the names of the drugs, I can understand some things now about it.

Guaifenex contains guaifenesin (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/medmaster/a682494.html), phenylpropanolamine (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/uspdi/202462.html), and phenylephrine (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/uspdi/202460.html).
Guaifenesin makes me vomit in large enough doses.
Phenylpropanolamine is an appetite suppressant.
One symptom of a phenylpropanolamine overdose is hallucinations.
Did you possibly take more Guaifenex than you were supposed to?
That's the only thing I can think of.

It was a high dosage, so it's likely I was instructed to OD on the shit. I still think Student Health Services is out to kill me.
