Oh my god- my head hurts.
I have a good friend, an old training partner who in order to drop weight before a championship used to drop large quantities of speed before training.
Bloody hell, that's brave... it's *incredibly* hard on your heart doing that. Not just the significant increase in heart rate from the amphetamines, but dehydration thickening the blood can give an otherwise fit athlete a heart attack... as per Tom Simpson in the Tour de France (his was an extreme case).I have a good friend, an old training partner who in order to drop weight before a championship used to drop large quantities of speed before training.
Even the gym rats using the ECA stack (ephedrine, caffeine and aspirin) are putting a *huge* additional load on their hearts, and ephedrine isn't as powerful a stimulant as amphetamine 'speed'...
Definitely works as an anorectant and can help to lose weight by reducing appetite but I sure as hell wouldn't use a strong stimulant just before or *whilst* training.
Anyway Gooby if you've got acute pain from the dental work, get some proper painkillers off your dentist. Pharmacy stuff like ibuprofen and paracetamol won't cut it for serious dental pain
Thanks 'face. I have a good friend who is a pharmasist who has sorted my some pain killers. Don't really like them, they make me dizzy ...
The guy on speed- he did win but shortly after he faked his own death because he did not pay for the drugs. We all thought he was dead but he turned up at a mates wedding.... Odd guy...

Woah, sounds like a right fruitcake oddball - though regular abuse of amphetamines can lead to a syndrome called 'amphetamine psychosis' in certain people, it's more or less artificial schizophrenia. Takes ages for the dopamine and serotonin pathways to sort themselves out too... I'd keep away from people in that state, you have absolutely no idea what they'll do next... motivation and reward pathways all scrambled.The guy on speed- he did win but shortly after he faked his own death because he did not pay for the drugs.

Anyway you should count yourself lucky that you don't like the painkillers your friendly pharmacist gave you (I'd like a mate like that
) - they're almost certain to either be a decent dose of codeine or dihydrocodeine (I doubt it's anything stronger). In other words, opiates... My girlfriend is the same, she can't stand the woozy effect of opiate painkillers - it's great as you've got no chance of getting addicted to the things. The trouble comes when you actually enjoy the effects and start using them when you don't need to!!! 
Lots of GPs are addicted to this stuff - not as large a proportion as those addicted to alcohol (a surprisingly large number, especially amongst female GPs) but if you like opiates, and you're a doctor who can write prescriptions, you're not going to mess about with dirty street drugs that have been cut with god-knows-what, are you... just write a prescription for the pure pharmaceutical stuff 
If the pharmacy pills are too strong and leave you woozy then Nurofen Plus is probably the best bet, it doesn't have paracetamol in it (obviously) so you don't have the worry of paracetamol overdose (can be fatal) if you take too many due to breakthrough pain. It's the same old opiates though - Nurofen Plus has codeine in it, just less than the prescription-only pills. It's just as possible to get addicted to nurofen plus, mind you - there have been some famous cases such as the comedian Mel Smith, who was addicted to them for 7 years... not likely for a few week's use for toothache though
I dont deal with drugs very well, my head is still full of anesthetic....
I have 2 serious addictions.
1) Adrenalin
This has caused me to break nearly every bone in my body including my back, but some incredible rushes....
2) Expensive hobbies
From rifles to Scuba to fast cars to expensive bikes and next year a plan to start paragliding.... (naming a few)

Not sure about that - self prescription of CDs is a route to rapid GMC referral, potential disciplinary hearing / suspension possibly erasure from the register. nomisesor said:

Simplified my working life by going solo (the headache I'm getting from playing with my accounts is certainly making me feel like a simpleton
), and am removing weight by changing my diet completely (no crap, no booze) and doing 3x45min CV workouts in the gym each week plus an hours bike ride each weekend. The weight's dropping off nicely 
but the lack of real ale is killing me
