Imodium Cannot Work Miracles

There is a limit to the power of Immodium.

That is all.

Haha, rough night?

Oh, yeah.

Whew!

People around these parts crush up Imodium, mix it with water and inject it when desperate for a high

Does it actually work?

I'm assuming that loperamide was developed to mimic the consitpating side effect of opiates, but without the primary effects expected from opiates. Is there some level of pain relief or euphoria retained?

The preceding is, of course, an academic inquiry. The only thing on my mind right now is slowing the exit flow . . .

It doesn't immobilize blades heading for the legs of the blades' handlers?

No data to my knowledgeto answer definitively. You are correct in your thinking. It is not absorbed when taken by mouth so only hits the opioid receptors in the gut (who put those there). In theory it would probably indeed work if injected, but I'm guessing most drug addicts don't know how to make it sterile or reduce the particle size enough lol

Why, you! If I could stray far enough away from the bathroom right now . . .

This is bringing back good memories! I had a medicinal organic chemistry class back in 1994. Good times!

People don't understand how fun chemistry can be! We blew up tons of stuff in one of my chemistry classes

Lots of butt hurt on INGO this morning.
Now 's when you need thick skin.

And a good quality toilet paper.

We've gone to the three shells in my house and are loving it

You may get better faster if you don't take Imodium. It's a "motility modifier" so yes it can prevent "episodes". However, slowing the motility of your gut also affects proper absorption. In many cases this means your underlying problem is prolonged.

I tell my dog owners that it might help them have to clean up the tile less, but the dog will be more crampy and take longer to heal.

It can also reduce the intestine's ability to fight bacteria.

Humans are sold a lot of symptomatic treatments. That's fine when you really need them but some of them inhibit symptoms that are part of your body's attempt to fight off a problem.

this is such a landmark role. I think it's the first role he got without Adam sander as the director

I really would like to have someone explain how the three shells work.
I never figured that out.

Have you checked the FAQs?

It's OK. You can just go cuss at the infraction dispenser until you learn.
