Greetings fellow Greenlighters, Bluelighters, & Lurkers!
I recently acquired 2 mg of benztropine (scored 4 X 0.5 mg) which I am hesitant to use, but thinking of trying 0.5 mg along with some opioid, because I am interested in experiencing Twilight Sleep'. Anyhow, I am a frequent Opioid user (3 times a week), though I typically only use Codeine these days because oxycodone withdrawals are more unpleasant than Codeine w/d's which are virtually non-existent in my experience (I take roughly 100 mg codeine at once MAXIMUM.
So as many of you probably know, opiate drug use is know to cause Hiccups...no body likes Hiccups right? Well, it turns out that benztropine has some potential to treat intractable hiccups..and I imagine it has less side effects than haloperidol, chlorpromazine, and nebulized lidocaine (which are all anecdotal treatments for intractable hiccups).
Anyhow, here is the article http://cjem-online.ca/sites/default/files/pg205.pdf
If anyone out there suffers hiccups from opiate use, benztropine might be worth looking at. I am going to try and save my 2 mg pill of benztropine for a day where I have hiccups, though it's actually quite rare for me (but I have found oxycodone to be the most likely to produce hiccups).
Please share any thoughts, experiences, opinions...I will make sure to share the results of my self-experiment next time I get the hiccups!
Cheers
