Brand name for fexofenadine hayfever medication. If you don't live in the US you probably know it under a different brand name.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Well, other people might know it under a different brand name here, thanks. It still confuses me that someone does a dish based on medicine-infused chicken...

Idk why ppl do antihistamines as recreative drugs like fr

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 46 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Because they're psychoactive in higher doses and readily available in lab quality. Not saying it's a good idea but that's really all it takes for something to be used as a drug.

[–] EvilHankVenture@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

The lab quality bit is optional.

Why would you inflict on yourself dysphoric hallucinations on yourself if you live in a country where dextromethorphan is otc (which is not even my case, as well as antihistamines)

Broke/desperate/high schooler. Mom and dad probably won’t notice if the Benadryl goes missing. The Hat Man makes sure that you only make that mistake once.

Think about how many kids huffed banana peels because of some text file Anarchist Cookbook they found online. There are probably dumbasses that fell for jenkum.

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I researched the banana peel thing in middle shcool and decided it was bullshit. Tried the oregano thing and thought I was high. Didn't try the nutmeg.

The crater makers made from empty CO2 cartridges were a lot of fun. I remember sealing them with wax and thinking about how dangerous it was having an open flame while holding something that could take off my forearm.

Never could get the iodine crystal explosive decomposition thing to work, too hard to get ahold of the precursors when I was a kid.

It's a wonder I survived, thank jeebus I couldn't get ahold of mercury.

Where the fuck were my parents?

Where the fuck were my parents?

If they were like mine, busy working. Also my parents both told us about how whenever a thermometer broke at school the teachers would show the kids how the liquid mercury felt to hold! They were both born in the early 50s.

I’m pretty sure it and leaded fuel and paint explains a lot of the boomer problems we’ve had over the decades.

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah, I think both of mine were working at the time as well. They also are very rigid law and order types and at that time I hadn't begun serious rebellion.

I actually saw a teacher allow kids to play with mercury when I was in highschool in the 90s. Teacher was ancient and the town was so backwards that it is still known as a sundown town to this day.

Totally buy the lead explanation for boomers. Saw an old man toss lead split weights in his mouth and put them on fishing line like tying a knot in a cherry stem.

About all those micro plastics disrupting our hormones...

How else are you supposed to meet the shadow man?

I think it's mostly a meme, but I'm sure some people might.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

yea there's even a specific diagnostic code for it in the DSM, F19 other substance use disorder, where in the criteria antihistamine abuse is explicitly mentioned (and DXM/Kratom are not mentioned, even though they get the same code and are more widely abused in the USA!)

If I'm not mistaken they make you sleepy and drowsy

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Thanks. Now that would be interesting, but I would not try it, thankyouverymuch.

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 19 points 3 days ago (3 children)

It's allergy meds that people take to help them not sneeze.

But whenever I take it, it makes me drowsy.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So the question is: on what kind of drugs did OP overdose to invent that recipe?

Whut??

Edit: ah Hay fever

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Zyrtec is the one that works for me with no noticeable side effects.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Cetirizine (Zyrtec) is pretty good and I think a tier 3 antihistamine. Allegra might be too.

If you need Zyrtec D, save a ton of money and get a separate Pseudoephedrine and Cetirizine. We get a 20 pack of generic Sudafed for $6 and a huge bottle of Cetirizine that last a year for cheap. The big bottle is around the price of a small pack of Zyrtec D.
