I figure that, plus the nerve that tickles your cough bone is dulled. I sing and have had too many surgeries so I have some experience with dilaudid. My vibrato is in my diaphragm and it isn't as responsive when I'm on dilaudid, but that could just be the drug slowing my responsiveness in general.

It's funny, but what's also funny is that it's still true of benadryl. Relatively safe when used as directed but, well, check out the chubbyemu video on it for more details.

Thank god it's only 1% alcohol. Wouldn't want to put anything harmful in my body

Opiates are actually very well tolerated, so alcohol is probably one of the more damaging ingredients - can't say anything about chloroform though

Alcohol is one of the most destructive things for your body. If you had the choice of taking morphine or Alcohol everyday for the rest of your life, you would live much longer on average with the morphine.

Shouldn't it be "You can't cough if you're unconscious"?

[–] CombatWombatEsq@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

...you've sneezed while unconscious???

[–] ChrisFhey@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Not consciously, I assume.

[–] sup@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, I wouldn't know

I do, you haven't, so far

As an anaesthetist, I can tell you that you can cough under anaesthesia, but I've never seen anyone sneeze under anaesthesia.

If it works I'd try it.

Doesn't chloroform burn like hell? Surely it's insta-puke?

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

It's put in there for a few different uses. It's a very small amount and it's synergistic with the morphine and actually reduces respiratory depression. I have been also told it was put in there to prevent abuse, because if you take too much nausea starts happening.

Can't cough if you're vomiting

[–] sparky678348@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Skillfully combined with a number of other ingredients

[–] baldowin@feddit.ch 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i wonder how they decided to also add a bit of chloroform for good measure

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It reduces respiratory depression caused by the morphine.

This explains the mechanism

I am amazed at the spectrum of specific knowledge that is already on lemmy.
