An old and funny post from on haullucinations w/ pain meds

[Guest guest]

Hi Sam,

<<and the anesthesia must have combined with my Oxys to give me a

present - hallucinations that scared the ----------- out of me>>

Yikes!!! I don't know how common hallucinations are with this stuff,

but I'm guessing not unusual. I am on a weak narcotic (Darvocet)

taken at bedtime, and even with this wimpy drug I woke up in the

middle of the night last week to see a Green Spectre floating in the

bedroom doorway (basically, a green ball of light, no face). The

house is too new to be haunted, so I quickly concluded this HAS to be

a result of the pills. What is the correct course of action in such

circumstances? Well, did you see the King movie " Rose Red " ?

Do what one of the characters in the movie did...just close your

eyes, and say to yourself, " NOT THERE!!! " a couple times. Open your

eyes and presto, spooks all gone lol! Hey, works for me...

I hope that you have good luck with your treatment and will feel more

like eating again soon. After those fantastic trial results (front

page in all the papers this morning!), too bad Avastin can't be added

to your regimen!

Best Wishes,

ain
