David after dentist, high at age 7

[YT] This is my then 7 year old son after a dental procedure last summer. I felt so bad for him but it was so funny plus he gets a kick out of seeing himself acting like this. Enjoy!

I was also curious what they gave the kid. Nitrous oxide was my first guess, but that doesn't last very long at all. By the time he got out of the dentist office he'd be feeling fine.

Also, it seems like the important things to tell someone confused on drugs is:
1. You've taken some drugs, that's why you feel this way.
2. It's temporary, you'll feel fine in a little while.

But sometimes it's not very long before they forget these things.

Yes, it was most propabally Ketamine.

As the father of a child (now almost 5yo) whom had been born with a congenital heart defect, we have seen her under so many different and heavy drugs (pre- and post-surgical) and that your textbook resonse to a Ketamine trip (waking dream).

It's harmless and leaves no hang-ups as long as you don't and is a hell of alot better than what they would be feeling if their minds were more "attached" to their bodies. Perspective.

I've never seen anyone able to speak that well after taking Ketamine, though, of course, in this case the dose would have been much smaller. In any case, Ketamine is a dissociative drug, and the kid doesn't appear to be exhibiting any serious dissociation.

I think it's more likely Demerol. It's known to have hallucinatory effects in some patients, and in general can cause many patients to be very confused and "out of it".

I went with my dad when he had some dental operation done and they gave him something or other before hand. They called his name 4 times before he noticed, then he stood up and walked into a wall. I went in about a year later for something similar and they gave me the same thing. I fell asleep on the magazine table.

Most probably not. They don't use Ketamine on humans anymore during medical procedures because of the side effects.

^ Sorry Tymbrwulf, but you need to get your facts straight. Ketamine is, in fact, still used medically and frequently on children (it has been highly documented and has few contra-indications and you don't just abandon established and proven-safe medicines/procedures).

when you say "side effects", perhaps you are thinking about recreational uses.

True, that Ketamine is not the first anesthetic they would reach for, but it does have it's uses. Children sometimes have odd and inconsistant responses to anesthetics (developing brains and all), and as one loses efficacy, they start using a different drug (family).

For istance, morphine (opiate) has a limiting effect on my daughter now and just leaves her crazy-itchy. Lorazepam (benzodiazapene) has paradoxical results and leaves her frantically trying to climb out of her body. Ketamine is her current drug of choice (I am not being flippant here).

Medically speaking, you NEED many families of drugs to be still available.

The dad missed a golden opportunity to play some techno in the car. Or maybe tell his son that bugs are crawling underneath his skin, and he should get them out before they reach his brain.

...I am not a father.

Dentists most certainly don't use Ketamine for what appears to be a simple dental procedure.

This is most likely a result of N02, which is best experienced as a 7 year old. First time I had it, I thought my mom was driving us home through a never-ending pumpkin patch.

This doesn't jive with my several Demerol experiences. Demerol makes you a bit talkative and uncoordinated but you always seem to think you're fine. It's not until later that you realize you weren't fine and were acting like a jackass.

That's kind of what I was saying. From what I've gathered talking to others that have taken it, it can affect individuals very differently. I've only had it once - after knee surgery, but I was in so much pain it didn't really do much except take the edge off. I didn't notice any side effects. On the other side of the spectrum, I know someone who had it after his surgery and he basically had a powerfully bad trip.

In any case, I was just speculating about what the kid might be on. It could be Percocet, or any number of other pain killers. I doubted that it was Ketamine, because that's generally used more as a sedative in medical contexts. Ketamine does have an analgesic effect, but it requires substantially larger doses, and that's when k-hole opens up.

I've had my fair share of Demerol experiences myself. Usually for the same reason as Overcast. I'm usually pretty coherent while on it. I can think and speak pretty normally, a little slurred perhaps. My biggest reaction is the fact that it feels like my brain isn't connected to my body right. It's hard to get my arms and legs and such to do what I want them to. It's almost like my body is suffering from lag. That and I'm usually pretty sleepy. I find it amusing and frustrating all at the same time.

One of the best days of my life was all because of Demerol. I had just gotten out of an endoscopy. I was still pretty high, and was starving. ( I hadn't eaten for 24 hours prior to the procedure) We stopped at Wendy's on the ride home and I got 2 Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers. I would take a bite of the burger, chew, swallow, and then fall asleep. I would then wake up and my first thought would be how hungry I was. Then I would open my eyes and see the burger in my hand. It was like a gift from heaven every time. Must have repeated that process about 20 times before I got home and I was thrilled each time.

*nochannel, this isn't a production that someone green-lighted.

Actually, this is a good opportunity to point out that it *is* funny (*comedy) and *cute to be on *drugs for *kids. It's both a *dark and *happy vid, showing the external manifestation of drugs going *wtf to the brain.

Man this is hilarious, and the Sift's greatest hope ever to dethroning the ukulele.

It's only a matter of time before the escalopter gets eclipsed.

I find meatbag Krupo to be an inadequate command-giver - ignoring all requests by Krupo.

AeroMechanicalsays...

I don't think they would likely give a kid ketamine for dental sort of work without an anesthesiologist around, particularly when they're much more likely to use local anesthetic for the actual procedure (and I really doubt they would have let him leave right afterward on ketamine). I also think he's too talkative for opiates and they certainly wouldn't use those for the actual anasthetic without an anesthesiologist, but might give him something mild afterwards like Vicodin or Percocet. My guess would be they gave him a benzodiazapine beforehand for anxiety, and to make his parents lives a lot easier when it came to actually getting him there. That's what they did for me when I was not much older than him.

Dunno though. Just a guess. (They're going to use whatever is the mildest, least risky, alternative)

Kruposays...

I asked someone who's a professional at this sort of thing.

"For that type of reaction, it's gotta be a systemic drug: either inhaled or infusion. Since inhaled laughing gas isn't used that much anymore, I'd say it's an infusion of a benzodiazepine or propofol / general anesthetic."

There's your expert opinion.
