Sanctioned addiction?

I don't know if you read the post preceding this one, but in it I rambled on and on about how badly my wisdom teeth hurt and something about medicine. Anyway I spoke to my dentist since there will be some time between now and when I actually get the teeth removed, as I kind of wondered how long I would be on painkillers. The answer came to about two weeks, and that conversation was around a month ago, since my insurance stopped covering wisdom tooth extractions at the end of October. So I've been on hydrocodone for over a month now without even thinking about it. I figured I'd write about it here and see if I get any withdrawal effects in the next few weeks since I didn't renew my prescription. I never even felt that good while using it, but I did have to take two pills at a time after a week or so due to my tolerance increasing. I've dealt with addiction before, so if I have to again then I have to, and I'll take care of it with willpower, like last time (look at the book beneath the post!).

I'm off to look up ways to stop withdrawal symptoms, I'll see you guys later.

I'm not dead, just a zombie

Hello everyone, thanks for all your comments, I'll be at 3000 hits before the end of this week if it keeps up!
I've been pretty busy with college, especially since the geniuses at the college I attend screwed up everything and dropped all my classes for this semester. In addition to that, I've been a little out of it since starting on a new medicine the "doctor" prescribed me, so I'm actually glad I don't have class right now, since falling asleep in class doesn't exactly endear you to the professor. On a site related note, the rotating script didn't work correctly, so I just added a list of some blogs that I check every day over to the right (------------------------------------>)
If your blog is older than a few days, not full of referral spam, not about something asinine or insipid, and not filled with pornography , drop me a line and I'll add it to the list. I'm going to go and watch fist of the north star, catch you next time!

Freakin Abilify

A is for "AAACK", the sound I make when I can't swallow anything
B is for "BLAAAARGH", the sound I make when I have to spit out my drink to breathe
I is for "Idiot", what I would have looked like in front of my friends if they hadn't already had a few each
L is for "Laid-back", the type of fellow I usually am
I is for "Ignorant" what my friends were to my plight
F is for "Flipping", as in "I can't FLIPPIN SWALLOW ANYTHING"
Y is for "Yup" as in yup, all this really did happen.

That's boring though, let's set it off like this

A is for akathisia
B is for blurred vision
I is for intense itching
L is for light-headedness
I is for inflammation of the pancreas
F is for fainting
Y as in Yes, these are all side effects.

So yeah,I'm never taking that again, nearly choking on every drink I will ever consume doesn't fit with my lifestyle of, you know, drinking liquids.

Also this is the face I made when I first noticed I couldn't swallow
(I had a mouthful of awful tequila at the time)
