Spoony the Pussy One: Life is in the Render Queue

[Guest]

Mmmm. Rachel McLish and Cory Everson. That takes me back...

Both of them were in the era just before steroids came in and ruined everything.
You can still find some occasional good looking ones nowadays in figure and bikini categories.
But the rest pretty much look like gross, man-faced monsters.

Don't forget Cori Nadine. I'm pretty sure at some point in 2000 she had the most nudes on the internet.

I'm more curious where he has the money to pay for all these drugs. He makes too much money to be on government gibs.

What he's taking isn't expensive

How the hell would you know, bitch? You're in the UK and can't into American health care. NHS doesn't pay for everything over here. If you're not on gibs and don't have amazing insurance (something he's bitched about before,) you have to pay for it yourself. Even if it's just a copay, it's not nothing. I'm wondering how he has the money for this shit while he's bitching about $17 xray billth.

Maybe he goes to a free clinic, they have a sliding scale and you pay a % based off your income.

My question to that would be why are they continuing to give this guy all kinds of access to medications? This country is currently going through a massive crisis over medication. Specifically painkillers. I know anti-depression medication isn't treated the same as painkillers because it's not (supposedly) being abused to the same degree, but you'd still think a free clinic would try to avoid over-prescribing medications to people.

I mean, ultimately, my question is about why any doctor would continue to prescribe anything to Spoony. I seriously doubt he has anything wrong with him except maybe some kind of sociopathic disorder like HPD. Spoony has spent years that we know of bouncing from treatment to treatment and apparently none of it has helped him at all. He's more unhinged now than he ever was. And he won't comply with any kind of mental health treatment or physical therapy. The only thing it sounds like he's willing to do is pop fucking pills.

The spiel with anti-depressants is that they're mostly harmless and aren't addictive while the real issue going on is with narcotics, notably opiates. And yes, family doctors can prescibe anti-depressants for the same reason. Generally speaking, worst case is that they don't do much.

Alternately, no one buys anti-depressants on the street because... why? Last I checked, Percoset goes for about 30$ a pill.

Sexual issues aside (and that's why almost every doctor will try Welbutrin first as it's pretty much the only anti-depressant that can restore and/or not kill libido and sexual function) most of the rest of the side-effects are just acclimatization and the removal of what amounts to the patient's own brand of crazy propping them up. Because of how the FDA works, pretty much every side-effect ever listed by the study groups must be included.

Some dude hasn't actually fucking slept in three years due to some kind of mania? Finally sleeps properly for the first time and the brain doesn't know how to deal with downtime yet? Boom! Weird dreams get listed. And so on, and such. Though, yes, some of the last resort medications do cross over into the what-the-hell range.

A little, wondrous thing called LOOKING IT UP

It's a cheap, generic drug. You can get thirty pills for $11

You're in the UK and can't into American health care. NHS doesn't pay for everything over here.

As much as you can't into British healthcare, apparently. We still pay for our prescriptions here. All the NHS does is limit the amount you can be charged for a prescription, as well as offer exemptions for certain people.

It's 100% free if you suffer from long term conditions like diabeties or a form of cancer.

I wonder what kind of mad cocktail of psycho drugs this dude is on. And if it's doing him more harm than good.

It sounds like he just quit taking his meds cold turkey, like a retard, instead of tapering off like you're supposed to.

Lupa never made it to Applebee's.

It's like the end of her beloved Quantum Leap, where Sam Beckett never leaped home.
