In Indiana, Poison Control center will NOT identify a drug, you are referred to
to local hospital. This is being done out of fear that the PC will be sued
under HIPAA.

Sucks, espescially at 3:30 AM!

But, if this Nomen Nescio idiot had his way, Walmart would be in charge of
identifying everything!

Hmmm. I find that hard to believe. If it is the case, what exactly does
the Indiana Poison Control do? Just direct every caller to the nearest
hospital no matter what? Sounds like a bigger waste of money than what
they could have possibly lost due to HIPAA infringement. Who pays for PC
there? Taxpayers?

Anyway, I don't know what the story behind the blue tablet is, but
regardless, you shouldn't trust anonymous posters on the net. Take it to
your pharmacy. Most will at least have an Identidex book if they don't
have an electronic reference.

That being said, do you have a bottle of store-brand naproxen around? It
may match. No guarantees though.

Only thing I found (in several places) suggested that it was *THE*
pill
namely Orth Tri cyclen. If it is, well look at the bright side, if
your a guy
you might grow some breasts. It'll give you something to do when
you are bored ; )

BWAHAHAHA L490 is over the counter naproxen (Aleve), sure you can
shoot them up but it aint gonna do sh.t. The most youll get is a
stomach ache if you eat em....NSAID's suck.

Well, IMO, they suck at trying to get a buzz, but I can't think of a
better OTC P/K that can knock out a head ache or ward off a spell of
arthritis that isn't APAP and we know, the liver, and Aspirin which
people who take ACE inhibitors must be careful about the level of
dose.

It's probably one of those new E suppositories.

Since you stated that it feels like it does something I presume you took some of
them.  I never knew there were people out there who try out pills wthout knowing
what they are.

That's probably because a good few of them end up brown bread, - dead, or
take something so fuccking horrible they never ever repeat the experience.
  How the f.ck did you know it wasn't some powerful heart drug, or a
thyroid medication or something else with horrific side effects.

  Seems like the correct pill for you would be Thorazine, and plenty of it,
because if you don't understand that a pharmacies shelves are not crammed
full of "buzz" drugs, but full of medicines witha few "buzz" pills dotted
amongst.

   [Years and years ago when I was badly strung out on smack, I broke into
this abandonded house, amongst other things I found a box full of really
ancient medicines, so old the labels were all yellow, with handwritten
pharmacy addresses on them, and cork, or glass stoppers in the tops. In
those days the pharmacist never told you what was inside, they just wrote
"The Mixture", "The Tincture", "The Tablets" etcetera. Now given their age
there was probably a damn good chance that some of them contained opium or
morphine, especially as some of them were in the real old fashioned
octagonal blue poison bottles.
    Did I swallow any of it them? Did I f.ck. I pinched all the scrap
metal, poured out all the stiuff inside and sold a few of the best bottles,
and then went straight off and bought another unknown
substance,................
-street heroin- and injected that instead, [well at least I knew what *part*
of it was, and the guy selling it was proof positive that it hadn't killed
him]

Adamski [I've never stopped wondering what those bottles had in 'em]

  **OK, OK.....A Straw Poll**.....If **YOU** had found those old  bottles,
some of 'em marked poison, [which they did with moprhine based medicines
too], only marked "The Medicine", would you have done the Alice in
Wonderland thing and just taken a swig and hoped for the best??

Good Lord, no.  It might have been soy milk!  I loathe soy milk.

Personally  I wouldn't hit something that I had no idea about (apart from
street smack) although I f.cked up on two occasions. Once early in my
career, thinking that lignocaine might have a coke like buzz (it doesn't)
and once when I belted some amps of morphine that had scopolamine in them,
"it was in an amp it was meant to be hit up" was the theory, unfortunately I
forgot about IM (it was so rare amongst people I knew, I never even
considered it ) THAT  experience was what convinced me never to hit anything
I wasn't sure about. I've found old morphine on a couple of occasions. one
lot from the 40's and one lot from the 20's and I once discovered a bottle
of cannabis tincture. Even the stuff from the 20's was clearly marked, and
the 40's stuff had warnings printed on the packaging.  So unless it was
really early stuff chances are anything decent would be marked. So put me
down as a no, although if I was desperately hanging out I might be tempted
to sample something I was fairly sure was good stuff, but I'd test it using
some other method than IV. Of course you could always use the traditional
junkie method of letting someone else go first <g>. I've always figured
something was funny when a using junkie who I am having a belt with says "No
no you go ahead, I'll wait for mine" almost a guarantee that something is
dodgey.
It probably doesn't happen so much now that everyone can get hold of
outfits pretty easily but in those days in Melbourne (70's) it was easier to
get the dope than it was the syringes.I can remember plenty of occasions
where it took 5 minutes to score the dope and three hours to hunt down some
syringes.

Oh man, do I ever remember those days.  Not with fondness, that's for
sure.  Scrabbling through a heap of used needles, trying to figure out
which one was the best of a bad, blunt and unsterile lot.   There'd be
arguments over who'd go first or who had the best veins.  And, of
course those with the shittiest veins got to use last although they're
the one's that needed the newer needles.  Sometimes it was like
hitting with a nail.  The skin would indent as the needle was forced
through and then on the way back out, the skin would grab the needle.

Well, here is some encouragement to never use needles.

I had a room mate that shot up, and he hung out with a chick that
seemed to get all kinds of sh.t to shoot.

One Sunday, I came back to school kinda early, and flung the unlocked
door of my dorm room opened, (kinda surprised it was unlocked) and
right smack dab in the middle of the room as my room mate in a chair,
with his chick friend with a needle stuck in his arm, meth I think it
was.  I scared them so bad when I busted into the room, she damn near
snapped the needle off in his arm.  I guess my surprise helped the
rush a long a bit too.

Later that night, that same chick was speedballing (wasn't called that
back then I dont think) placidil (sp) and cocaine.  She would break
open the placidil pill, there was an orange jelly center, and she
would mix that with some coke and shoot that up.

Lol the days of sharpening needles with the side of a matchbox, it was
living in NZ that gave me a chance to have a look a needle "sharpened" with
a matchbox through a really good microscope. It put me off the practice for
life!, the things looked like a mutant Christmas tree, f.cking spikes and
whorls all over it, just looking at it under the scope you would be pushed
to guess it was designed to pierce human flesh in anything but a torturing
manner.

...and trying to sharpen a blunt pick on a matchbox and pretending that is
is sharper than it was. Then as you withdrew it out of your arm in utter
dribbling frustration it catches the skin and pulls it as far out as it had
pushed it it. Oh the madness and desparation of it all.
