Ondansetron

Nauseous? You won't be for long if you take ondansetron.

Where do you get it?

Drusas,

It's by prescription only, but is an inexpensive prescription.

Heads up to anyone with cardiac issues, especially long QT syndrome or other meds that prolong the QT internal: Ondansetron is so notorious for QT prolongation and cardiac arrhythmia problems that we have to perform an EKG before we’re allowed to give you a second dose on our cardiac unit.

I have scary anecdotes that bias me against it lol

Drusas,

A relatively niche case, to be sure, but thank you for pointing it out.

Chetzemoka, (edited )

Yeah, long QT syndrome is estimated around 1/2000 people. Relatively rare. I fully confess that I’m just traumatized by my personal experiences with patients taking the drug lol

cheese_greater,

Thats why I’m doing this thread, its a labor of love and curiosity but I’m intrigued to hear everyone dish freely about such a mundanely “taboo” subject

Phenibut

Helps relieve anxiety and eases social contact. For me personally its just a mood enhancer and makes listening to music so good. About 500-1500mg is a normal dose, lasts for up to 24h and should not be taken more often than once a week.
