What drug turns you into a zombie?

[bif]

Like Laura Bush? I'm planning ahead for my Christmas cartoon and need suggestions. I'm thinking Thorazine. It's for my George the Second website:

Suggestions?

1. Zombies like Pickles are usually enjoying a cocktail

to reach that state. The next 'scrip will make it all better, see.

18. Formaldehyde

2. Lithium, valium

[Droopy]

10. I take lithium and it doesn't turn me into a zombie

It keeps me from thinking I'm superman or Jesus. It's very good at controlling mania. I guess it could have an adverse affect on you if you are misdiagnosed or don't need to be taking it, but for those who need it it can be a life saver.

Lithium is just a type of salt that occurs naturally in nature.

11. I had a good friend

who use to abuse the stuff. She was a zombie. I am not trying to say that it is a bad drug or that it has no useful purpose, but I am simply talking from experience.

[Droopy]

14. Any drug is bad if you abuse it

Recreational or pharmacuetical. I don't know why your friend was abusing it. Lithium doesn't get you high. If you get too much lithium in you it can lead to blood poisoning.

15. She was none too bright

The type of person that would put anything in her body for kicks.

3. That White House Kool-Aid they keep in the water coolers.

4. Opium

5. Triptaphan

:boring:

[eternalburn]

6. Stadol.....

STADOL (butorphanol tartrate) Injection, USP, is a sterile, parenteral, aqueous solution of butorphanol tartrate for intravenous or intramuscular administration. In addition to 1 or 2 mg of butorphanol tartrate, each mL of solution contains 3.3 mg of citric acid, 6.4 mg sodium citrate, and 6.4 mg sodium chloride, and 0.1 mg benzethonium chloride (in multiple dose vial only) as a preservative.

7. How about massive doses of Dramamine

That stuff will make you stupid.

8. Thorazine has it's own shuffle named after it.

It's actually called an "Extra-Pyramidal Symptom" one of my Nursing school instructors told us of when they came out with it in wide use in the Psychiatric Community. Some wild Shit. It will turn you into a zombie... and you'll walk like one too.

9. Trioxin 245

[AlCzervik]

12. The drug of relocation has worked very well for me

3000 miles away from them.

13. Stupid over-the-counter benadryl completely knocks me out.

Thank god for Allegra.

[CornField]

20. Yup - that and sudafed

[Shakespeare]

27. Sudafed makes you drowsy? It's speed!

Sudephadrine is the generic name--it's a form of speed.

[KurtNYC]

16. CNN

after about 10 minutes - zombie. ;-)

[elehhhhna]

17. & televised golf

[yellowdogintexas]

19. don't take much to get me: an adult dose of Benadryl will just

about do it. And if I have to take it for longer than 24hours, you can forget about it. I will be somewhere under the tile floor in the bathroom, comatose.

Chlorpheneramine (another old antihistamine) is just about as bad.

I sometimes take Benadryl when I need sleep, I use the liquid and take a pediatric dose!

I praise to the skies the inventors of non drowsy antihistamines!!!

[bearfan454]

21. The Doctor at the VA recommended Benadryl to me

for insomnia.

[yellowdogintexas]

22. it is an excellent alternative, and you can more easily control

the dosage if you use the liquid ..it is the main ingredient in most OTC sleep aids anyway

[nytemare]

23. puffer fish poison

[SnowGoose]

24. Ah the smell of tetrodotoxin in the morning.

Interesting factoid: the fish don't actually make the poison - they carry symbiotic bacteria that make the toxin.

[nytemare]

26. that is interesting!

I watched a program on Discovery I believe about how many people in Japan who eat the fish will go into a state very close to death, but that they still have a heartbeat, very infrequent and very faint.

[MemphisTiger]

25. muscle relaxers did it to me once

[BluePatriot]

28. Nyquil?

:evilgrin:

[Floogeldy]

29. I'd probably say heroin . . .

. . . if I had ever used it. But I haven't, so I won't. ;)
