<hGH..do you mean human growth hormone?> Yeah, I assume putting on some muscle might help with that. I wouldn't want any but my own! <sunlight> Ah, critical I think. And of course rotating shifts are hell with that. My father I think suffers from SAD here in the winter...he is also at 48N. But they live in the rainshadow up there by Port Townsend, so that is not so bad. <Provigil> I was not impressed with it, prefer to caffeinate. <geodon's, abilify's?> Yikes! Yeah I know those. The whole family has got a messed up phenotype(s), I have the brother with OCD. Well, all except my mother--who is thriving. Good genes on that side of the family!

Boy, you pros toss that stuff around like candy! I agonize whether I should do 3mg of melatonin or 5 on my next order from Swanson's. People do react very differently to drugs, don't they? After my back operation the surgeon gave me a freighter load of oxycodone. If there was any effect on the discomfort, I couldn't detect it, and as for euphoria - nada. Isn't it a schedule drug, with the possibility of habituation/addiction? I have about a hundred to give away (or flush down the toilet) if anybody needs them. I told the surgeon I was allergic to codeine (bad barfing), but he said there would be no problem with oxycodone. He was right, but I would have liked something that worked on the pain in the first few post-op days, barf or no barf. (Maybe I should offer myself to MYGN to develop a genetic test for codeine related non-addiction?)
