I like that the sign says “will” kill you, not “could”.
If it said “could”, most people would think “probably not me, though”.
Local anesthetics with vasoconstrictors should be used with care in patients taking methamphetamine because they may result in cardiac dysrhythmias, myocardial infarction, and cerebrovascular accident.
Dang.
For some reason “cerebrovascular accident” sounds so funny to me, it’s like “uh oh, seems like my brainy-veiny did an oopsie-whoopsie”.
What about aderall and vyvanse?
I’m happy the other person hasn’t had issues, but my dentist called me to let me know they couldn’t put me under because of my prescription… which is Adderall and Vyvanse.
May have just been the Adderall, maybe it was both, but I don’t like going under anyway and was going to use local anesthesia, regardless.
Adderall and Vyvanse are essentially the same drug. You’re on both?
They are related drugs with similar profiles, but they are not the same drug. Vyvanse is Lisdexamfetamine, which is a pro-drug, that your body converts into dextroamphetamine. This can have a big impact on some people, either making the drugs more or less tolerable. Actual metabolic rates for drugs can be significantly different from person to person.
I had to be put under with local anaesthesia for a septoplasty and they said I couldn’t take Vyvanse. I wasn’t going to anyway, it increases your blood pressure. But still good that they tell you.
