#3 Finally, an explanation for Dr Dean that makes sense.

#4 Wow! That's just a little bit more than the Vicodin Rush Limbaugh was caught with.

#5 I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention. Am I suppose to care? He did this to himself and now the public has to pick up the tab?

Tell you what. Go outside and hold out your hands palmside up. Wish for bird$#!+ in one hand and sympathy in the other. See which one fills up first.

#6 Zenster: I've been high on both and there is no comparison. Vicodin gives you this droopy, “downer” kind of high that puts you to sleep. It’s like booze but less fun. X gives you a zippy, euphoric, “upper” kind of high that keeps you awake and makes you horny, while simultaneously destroying your ability to appreciate music more complex than a single drumbeat surrounded by repetitive, tape looped slogans. It’s like LSD but drives you insane more slowly.

#7 he still suffers from severe physical and mental health side-effects, including extreme memory problems, paranoia, hallucinations and depression.

Whiner. Grow some spine, relax, and enjoy the ride. I still have flashbacks but you don’t hear me bitching, do you?

#8 This was an exceptional case. His long- term memory was fine but he could not remember day to day things - the time, the day, what was in his supermarket trolley,"

Sounds just like Alzheimers.

#9 It’s like LSD but drives you insane more slowly.

I seem to recall that is because it is essentially a hallucinogen, like LSD, but built from an amphetamine chemical base, so it is less intense.

My scrip and refill of Vicoden are finally running out five years later. After helping a friend move the other week, he gave me some double strength, Vic-like pills and they actually managed to produce some low level psychotropic effects. Regular Vicodin does precisely what it's supposed to for me, kill pain with astonishing rapidity.

As to the moron in the article, anyone who voluntarily commits such routine chemical insult to their mind and body deserves what they get. He||, I buy a bottle of aspirin once every three years after tossing out the expired half-full one. It is impossible for me to imagine how someone could possibly continue to ingest such a ridiculous amount of psychoactive drugs and not expect some sort of lasting, if not permanent, side effects. What an idjit.

Well, yes, but that's because you're a normal, intelligent person.
