Mine was 45mg methylphenidate (as ritilin) time release in the morning and 15mg after school. For a total daily dose of 55mg, (which is more than the 35mg max daily dose they’d give me now as an adult, and way more than the 18mg I actually take occasionally). I was 90lbs until I started cheeking it at 11-12, and got punished both for not eating dinner AND for “stealing” food from the fridge at 11pm when it all finally wore off and I got desperately hungry (also for cheeking the pills but that’s its own problem). Thanks for the food issues, fam. They work so well that living with people makes me feel guilty in my own house!
Sorry we both dealt with shit.
The last time I went under, I was talking to the nurses about the equipment in the room and stuff and the last thing I really remember is asking what drug they gave me, and when I learned it was fentanyl I was like “oh, this is fentanyl? It’s pretty nice. I can see why it’s a controlled substance, yeah.”
I’m entirely sure I continued to be annoying though, even if I don’t remember it. Mostly because they don’t tend to bother trying to get me to count, they just kept me chattering. Same thing when they wake me up. I tend to be… “helpful”… removing monitor pads and such and slurring my way through asking how it went, if I gave them any trouble, and when I come around a bit more, asking if they amputated the wrong limb (I’ve never had a limb removed).
