[His world is sunshine and flowers, Watson, what are you talking about.]

so its like people getting ill off of herbal treatments when it works just fine for others

where you dont really know whats going to happen until you take it

right

[jumpthegun]

We have a decent idea of the range of possible side-effects. We're not going into this blind, Lutha. Would you like a prescription?

[hangfire]

[Another long pause.]

is it from one of the stocks thats already gone low

its been a month or so since your last public update on that as far as i can recall

[jumpthegun]

No. Those are painkillers. This is a specialty drug that wouldn't fall under that category, even if it'll address your pain.

[And you're not getting a private update, Lutha.]

[hangfire]

understood

yes then

ill take it

[jumpthegun]

All right. The drug I'm going to start you on is called amitriptyline. You're going to have a starting dose of 75 mg/day. It'll be broken up into three pills each day. One in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one just before you go to bed. As a warning, it may take a few days, up to a week, for the medicine to start working. It's one of those things where you body needs to adjust to the drug and that might happen faster or slower depending on your particular body make-up.

I'll let you know as soon as I get a response from the ADMIN on the script. You'll be able to find it in the next house you search after that.

you just swallow them right or is there a trick to doing this

[jumpthegun]

Just swallow them, that's right. I'd recommend doing it with water to make it easier on yourself. If you feel nauseous after the first few doses, try to take the medication with food. That should ease it. That's not one of the typical side-effects, but it's a possibility.

[hangfire]

[He'll just make a mental note to do that anyway. Stopping to eat that often doesn't sit too well with him, but maybe if he just divides his already-divided rations enough, he could make it work...]

ill keep that in mind then



thank you

[jumpthegun]

You're welcome. I'll keep you updated on the Admin's reply.
