Vegaskine equivalent...
it seems that the Imodium is not that good so i'm thinking of something else
i've some pills named Vegaskine which is (200mg Acetylsalicylic Acid - 200mg Paracetamol - 10mg Codeine Phosphate - 50mg Caffeine Anhydrous - 25mg Phenobarbitone)
how much should i take to feel the buzz ?
Hard to say how much to take especially with that phenobarbitone in it (in the US it's called phenobarbital, and is one of the longest-acting barbiturates made.) That being said, I have chronic migraines and was once on a drug called Bellergal which had 40 mg phenobarb in it (combined with belladonna alkaloids.) Then I was put on something that I REALLY liked called Fiorinal with Codeine. Each capsule contained:
aspirin~325 mg.
caffeine~40 mg.
butalbital*~50 mg.
codeine~30 mg.
*BUTALBITAL....is typically more addictive than the codeine!
That is some great stuff for headaches/migraines. A warning, though: unlike the phenobarbital in your "Vegaskine," the butalbital is a short to intermediate-acting barbiturate, and seriously, it feels NICE....too nice. It's a great combo medicine to treat headaches with, but if you take it every day you WILL get hooked on the butalbital (not to mention the 30 mg. codeine.) But my problem was NOT the codeine...it was the butalbital.
But generally speaking, your Vegaskine and my Fiorinal w/codeine sound like very similar combo meds, except the Fiorinal w/codeine has 30mg. compared to the 10 mg. in your med.
I personally would not exceed 25 mg. phenobarbital...at least until you know how they will affect you. Like I said, Phenobarb is the longest-acting barbiturate. It takes the longest to come on, and the longest to leave your body. So you could think your fine 12 hours after taking a couple of those, take more, then realize that you have got WAY too much phenobarb in your system....that can lead to a coma. (In fact, when doctors in hospitals say that they are keeping a patient in a "medically-induced coma," they are typically using phenobarbital to do it...but there they have machines to monitor your heart rate and breathing. Just take it slow my man.
