I'm tripping on cough syrup, ask me anything.

[BabylonHoruv]

Well, actually it's gelcaps, but same active ingredient.  DXM, not Pseudoephedrine.

Why the hell would you do that?

That's why I'm taking drugs.  As to why cough syrup because it is the only drug I have tried so far aside from Morphine that makes my emotions go away.  Unlike Morphine it is easily available, plus it makes me see pretty pictures, which Morphine does not do.

Are you thinking of applying to work as an insurance adjuster, or something?

Nah, it only makes them go away for about 8 hours, and it also makes me pretty much incapable of doing math for that time period.

I'm looking for the payoff here, and I'm just not seeing it.

I heard that DXM can cause permanent brain damage by using more than the recommended dosage.

ETA: Ok, so that only happens with an overdose... Why don't you just let the grieving process run its course?

dissociation from emotion, pretty pictures, and physical feelings of euphoria.

Explains what happened to Von Melee and Nivek.

Anyway, I don't see the attraction to emotionally neutering yourself.

Oh.  Television.

It can, so can most recreational drugs.

And Howl, TV tends to incite emotions, this doesn't.  The attraction of emotional neutering is becuase being miserable and excited at the same time was extremely confusing and rather painful.  I figure if I can detach the emotions for a few hours I can let the logical side of my brain figure things out before they come back.

That's why God gave you cheap whiskey and Hank Williams Sr.

There's procedures for heartbreak, even when it's some 45 year old fat guy calling himself Susan that breaks up with you.

Wow! Good luck with that. Personally I think you're approaching this on the wrong motorcycle. For letting the logical side of your brain run wild, I'd use something more along the lines of amphetamines. But that's just me.

edit; Plus, it doesn't cut you off from your emotions, it just makes them more bearable.

Don't you think your whole brain will figure it out faster if you don't scramble it with DXM?

I find that recreational drugs (including alcohol) only prolong my misery if I use them to avoid dealing with my emotions.

For me DXM really cuts me off from them.  Alcohol would make me want to cut myself or do something really stupid at the moment, so would Hank Williams.  Amphetemines I have never enjoyed.
