> [@Stoid](#): > > Actually, very ON-topic. > > And I’m tellin’ ya, Guin, that Google Machine is pretty awesome. For instance, just now I typed “valium for status epilepticus” (which is what it’s used for in dogs, as I explained in the original thread) and the very first thing that came up was the website “American Family Physician” and this is the first paragraph (it’s from 2003): Huh, well learn something new every day. I do have to ask though **Stoid** , and forgive me if you’ve mentioned this and I missed it, but did your vet prescribe anything to try and prevent the seizures from occurring in the first place? That would be my first concern. Yes, I am being serious, **kambucta** – and keep in mind, I myself have epilepsy. (Doesn’t mean I’m familiar with every single drug that’s out there, though) ---

> [@Stoid](#): > > I think you’re confused (again), since in all the discussions regarding my relaxed attitudes about sharing prescription drugs, there was never any suggestion that either me or anyone I “share” with was using the drugs for recreation or using them inappropriately for conditions they do not legitimately have. No, **Stoid** , you lunatic bitch, there wasn’t a “suggestion” that you shared them recreationally or inappropriately, there was an outright _admission_ that you did it. By you. On several occasions. To the gardener, to your bereaved friends, and probably to Uncle Tom Cobley and all. It really is like talking to a three year old with you. - Stoid, did you eat that cookie after I told you not to? - No! - But the cookie is gone and there are crumbs on your face. - No there aren’t. - Stoid, I’m not stupid. - Wow, it really is amusing to me that you have time to manufacture tales of cookie stealing when I and all my friends have so many cookies we pass them around freely. I guess some people have so little to do that they’ll make up anything to pillory me. {pause} So can I have another cookie? ---

One more reason to try to manage medical conditions without drugs. Our (excellent) doc gave me a choice: drugs, or exercise and weight loss for blood pressure. And an ADD specialist gave me a choice: drugs, or an extra cup of coffee every day. I’ll admit, I see nothing wrong with sharing my coffee… ---

Caffeine is a well-known treatment for ADD. Coffee was prescribed for my friend’s 8 year old, and it worked pretty well for a couple of years. He’s since switched to a prescription drug. I applaud that doc and yours for trying caffeine before reaching for the amphetamines. I wish I could manage mine with caffeine only. ---

> [@Penfeather](#): > > there wasn’t a “suggestion” that you shared them recreationally or inappropriately, there was an outright _admission_ that you did it. By you. On several occasions. You are confused about many things; in this post it is regarding the act of sharing prescription medications vs. the act of consuming them, and this has led you to make _ **another** _ inaccurate statement. Nowhere has it been said that either the sharing (which is the verb you use above) or the consuming was recreational. The consumption was always by persons legitimately dealing with the conditions the medications are designed to treat. ---
