What's up with the Lyrica use?

I did read a paper that showed that a normal person, drinking beer or wine, would pass out before they were able to truly OD unless actively trying to commit suicide (or in the case of today's society, the 21 shots in an hour nonsense).

^ I've always thought that was true, I guess there's proof now though.

you black out because your CNS shuts down to the point where you lose consciousness

 

[zombiesarepeaceful]

No. I don't think the brain blacks out so you won't take more drugs. I think it blacks out because you take too many drugs, plain and simple. I don't think it blacks out for the sole purpose of halting intake of drugorz.

I think pulse and blood pressure can raise from adrenal stimulation , if you understand that something is really wrong.

Obviously when high on benzos, you get stupid enough not to care and then you die.

Addicts body or brains don't know how to react anymore.

IE. I don't vomit anymore when high.

i know blacking out u can still die but does ur brain like subconciously make u black out to prevent od?

I don't think so--you lose consciousness because of the chemicals you've ingested. I don't think it's evolved as a protective mechanism.

Sorry, gethigh, your understanding of physiology is a little off: epi works to increase heart rate, and to increase peripheral vascular resistance. Its primary use in CPR is to increase heart rate. Epi is given when no pulse is present. Atropine is given first to counter bradycardia (the first part of cardiac arrest in people). Lidocaine is given last to counteract ventricular fibrillation (end-stage cardiac arrest).

Wow, this thread's gone downhill to literal dick-sizing.

Women don't do this shit--we don't sit around all day posting about our va-jay-jays, much to your dismay.
