I lolled

NJ pharmacist charged with stealing 3,670 Valium. Asked to comment, he said, "Mmmrrrphhlll" and lolled his head around


I guess that makes him Prince Valium.



He never got to ride the Vespa.

You take the blue pill, and the story ends. You wake up with a giant boner and go about your life. You take the red pill, you become all kinds of farked up.

He was just trying to control his status epilepticus without the burden of having to visit a doctor. The health care bill must be passed NOW to protect innocent citizens such as this!!

Approves.

(Married to the Sea)

Approves.

I'd like some valium at $0.30 each.

RottNDude: Approves.


Glad I'm not the only one who thought of that.

AbbeySomeone: As someone who came off xanax cold, no kicks, etc.

How much were you taking a day?

Stevie Wonder is a pharmacist in New Jersey???

/shouldn't have, I know....

The worst part is he probably has no memory of committing the crime.

Eh wake me up when someone gets the ritalin out the door at a discount...

eraser8: 40mg a day of diazepam?

I'm guessing his benzo-withdrawal syndrome wasn't all that pleasant.

holy ****. 5 mgs sends me into sleep land.

eraser8: Royale With Cheese: He was just trying to control his status epilepticus without the burden of having to visit a doctor. The health care bill must be passed NOW to protect innocent citizens such as this!!

If that's the case, I would think he'd have chosen lorazepam.

Perhaps he chose wrong?

that's a lot of sleepy land drugs.

But I except for the getting caught part and the high dosage, I kind of envy this guy.

also approves

Valium is for pussies. Real men get their downer kicks from massive amounts of NyQuil. Lug it and chug it. Have you ever seen a slug crawl along the sharp edge of a razor?

I love that stuff man. Big N, small Y, huge F'n Q! I love you Q! I'm high as a kite and my teeth are green Merry F*cking Christmas!

Thought I was gonna die.

Ya been there. Was taking 2 totem poles of Xanax a day for a month or two until I ran out. I couldn't sleep for 5 days and absolutely climbing the walls with paranoia. It's horrible stuff unless you have a legitimate anxiety disorder.

Took a Valium one before an MRI that the doc gave me for claustrophobia. Didn't seem to do much, so I took the second one after about a half hour, right before I went in the machine.

By the time I got out of the MRI, I couldn't sit up. The jackasses sat there looking at me like "WTF is wrong with you"? They sent me on my way by myself leaning against the wall the whole way down the hall to the lobby.

Thank Jebus my wife was driving me home.

People always get caught. Especially those that are actually using everything they steal. Eventually, the volume you need exceeds the ease of covering up the theft and someone figures it out.

Sometimes it's the corporate purchaser who notices an unusual uptick in orders, sometimes it's your wholesaler. Sometimes they just reach the point where they take so much they gork out at work and when they do a Utox at the ER, it comes back as a benzo sludge.

/pharmacist x 15 years, seen allot of people get nabbed

Is he dancing as fast as he can?

For all those astonished at his dosage, don't be. it's valium, not xanax, and is measured in 10 MG not 1MG (which is sorta equivalent.
40 mg habit is enough to get you marginally addicted for some people, but it's not eating the equivalent of 2 pills of xanax a day; i didn't rfta but 40 mg is therapeutic dosage for someone not naive.

I had some anxiety problems over the last few years and my doc put me on 20mg Valium and 20mg Atenolol a day... I can't panic over anything now. He told me when he prescribed it, that if my house caught on fire, I would have the peace of mind to call the fire department, but would probably just pull up a chair in the front yard and watch the farker burn because I wouldn't give a shiat... He was right. Been on that cocktail for about 2 years now and still never panic.

A few days before thanksgiving, I took two slashes from a 13" RC airplane prop across the wrist (luckily the bone deflected the prop both times and it missed the artery and tendons.) But with the prop being about as sharp as a butter knife, it made two nasty cuts that were wide enough you could lay a pencil in and not touch the sides. I show up at the doc to get stitched up and the nurse practitioner see's me first and thinks I must be in shock to have two cuts that deep and still be calm as cucumber.

I was fine, I could see the tendon and artery it missed, and since they had been missed, I knew it was just muscle and fat and I could still move my fingers, so I wasn't worried in the slightest. About 15 stitches in each cut, and I flew the plane when I got home while my wrist was still numb.

Yeah it's not news, it's Fark, but this is hardly unusual. Lots of pharmacists fall into this trap.

That said, if this greenlight saves someone the agony of abusing prescription drugs, then it's a good thing. Thanks to the Farkers who have shared their experiences. I've never been down that road myself, but I've seen it enough to know I never want to. I'm in constant pain, but won't take pain pills stronger than aspirin, just because I fear the hell that I have seen others go through when they get hooked on pain pills.

I did get 10mg of Valium intravenously before my vasectomy. Very nice. Instant head rush, and no, I didn't care that they were about to cut on my goolies. Didn't stop the pain when he tugged a bit too sharply, though. Then the doc wrote me a scrip for codeine, and told me to stop on the way home and pick up a six pack. "Drink five, and put the other one between your legs."

Yeah, I felt so good I ended up dancing in a nightclub instead of lying home in bed. Good job, doc. Army medicine FTW!

/no ill effects were suffered.
//but in retrospect, I know that was stupid
///probably why I am skittish about prescription drugs: that could have gone very wrong

He just wanted to take the edge off of living in NJ.

I can say that because I live here.

That being said, I was studying in England in the mid-80's and could not get any relief from my allergies. The "dispensing chemist" told me to use one of their OTC products, a seductive little elixir called Night Nurse. It came in a bottle with a little white faux nurse's cap on it. It was Nyquil all 'roided up. I took it before I went to class one afternoon, and it was a good thing my desk was against the wall because, after a few minutes, I fell over and whacked my head against it. I was told later that after making a huge "thud", I picked myself up, dusted myself off, and announced to the class that I was going up to my room to have a "lie down". I then turned on my heel and marched out like a soldier. The next thing I remember was waking up about eight hours later in my room.
Good times.... Good times.

benzos are gay. that is all.

No House refs yet?
That makes me want a vicodin.

House reference would be kinda a stretch here

I just want to say that an IV with Valium is the most awesome way for a doctor to make you relax before surgery that I've ever experienced.

thanks subby that was a good laugh.

/when I go to the dentist I make sure I'm always really nervous so they give me the complimentary valium. Almost makes it kind of fun...
