Dead mans pills u.k. - i.d. help

I remember the best Wirral episode I ever heard was a local young entrepreneur robbing a Greggs (already an extremely Birkenhead thing to do) while stark bollocko naked from the waist down. Wearing a jacket, trainees on his feet but, what, just forgot to put his trackie bottoms on?

Moved back home to the proper side of the river shortly after hearing that story. Much better class of yobbo in Liverpool.
 
I used to work in a nursing home in the mid 2000s and there was one resident who had been there long enough to be part of the furniture. In ten years in healthcare he's the only person I ever encountered or even heard of being on any kind of barbiturate - bright orange capsules if I recall. Likely been on them so long nobody dared switch him to anything else - probably 30 years at least.

Always been intrigued by barbiturates but obviously never had the chance. Might check the markets one day...

Wow them tuinals are mint
Are 3 all together, with a 300mg pregablin on top of my 80mg methadone.

The barbs are lovely, like a benzo feeling but diffrent, would felt reccomend. Still typing with one,she and wobbly now. They gave me loooads.of energy like Benson do (ADHD), And I ate loads of scran aswell.

Defo taking these again =)

You got lucky, I am shocked they worked after over 45 years.
 
They have a very narrow therapeutic window, I don't see why they might still be prescribed. Unless under exceptional cases, I know phenobarbital is still the barb of choice from certain tapering forums

No barbies have ever been available on any market I've seen

They're really not as good as they used to be for rare / obscure drugs

BTW I've just remembered a really unusual sedative/hypnotic that was prescribed in the UK until 1996 and to the best of my knowledge is legal EVERWHERE. That medicine is called Trancopal (chlormezanone).

Now chlormezanone IS chiral but as far as I can tell, it was only sold as the racemate

Their was some research carried out on the resolved compound (I suggest to find out which was more active and which was more toxic) BUT since it didn't reappear on the shelves (and the enantiopure compound COULD be patented), I can only presume the results were not too good.

I guess it's closest in nature to carisoprodal and medicines of that kidney.

It was being produced in a HUGE scale in China, last time I looked. But legal status comes second to safety, so anyone tasting - know the risks.

Till 98 chlormezanone and a few others were in the drug bible for drs in NL, along with Clomethiazole, dextroMoramide and Meprobamate. All red texted, warning about the doubts on medical use. Same for Opipramol and a other obscure sedative I look up tomorrow.

Now they are gone.

Antique barbiturates, very rare and valuable these days.

Possibly worth a fortune.

I'd love to try them, but it's probably for the best that I'll probably never be able to acquire any.

Like anything rare they acquire an undeserved reputation.

I quite like phenobarbital though when you want to be a complete zombie walking through life like you don't care whether your live or die which kinda describes my situation rn.
