Lorazepam metabolites

First, demand that the doctors abide by their Hippocratic oath (first, do no harm). Depakote and lithium are almost worse than the disease. I KNOW! The mood swings can be next to impossible to prevent. For myself, I prefer to control the worst with sedatives as needed. The mood swings are part of who I am. For me, lack of sleep is a definite tell so that I can use some lorazepam to sleep off the worst of the mood swing. You need a cooperative doctor who will help you as a person instead of just another crazy. Sorry.

Not q plot that is conducive to 750 words. Rushed ending. Go to the hospital. Get her tested. X can last for a few days on her urine as detectable metabolites. Then file a police report. May be hard to pun who drugged her, but it casts suspicion on the club and makes the evil people know they are being watched. Pretty sure coukd find out what happened to the other guy's wife. Then investigate off Tracy as a procurer. If got lucky, coukd blow case open with past incidents and testimony. Letting this lie is not the right way to go unless you fear they are in a gang.

Well, I was laughing throughout the whole thing. I think it was slightly too dramatic to take seriously. Like being in status epilepticus for some unknown time in front of her daughter, that cant be controlled until examined at the er and given multiple drugs...and she lived to vent her urine and feces another day. So, they tried lorazepam, phenobarbitol, and valproate, but had to give up, intubate her and then give her propofol, the anesthetic that killed Michael Jackson, ketamine, and lidocaine in order to stop her hysteria. And they topped it off with xenon and nitrous oxide. Damn.
When I read this paratrooper will kill you, I don't think being serious was ever the intent. What's next, are you going to put on your robe and wizard hat?
But the ending and the use of a human choice and not a damn plot device to get to it was good. The length of conflict wasn't unnecessarily long. So, the best way to reconcile this with reality is that this is a joke.

Several very apt comments. I would only add that if the Predator is essentially left with NOTHING (except debt!), he will have almost NO choice except to go to police! His story might appear to be implausible to them, but his recent financial history will make it much more believable. No one will have seen him going on a bender at local bars, for example, and a blood test will find metabolites of the fictitious drug used against him! Everything done to him is well outside his normal financial history!
This is a situation where LESS revenge is probably more. I think donating $20K worth of chickens or goats to African farmers (delivered BEFORE Pred is told!) AND told he has to move out immediately plus leave the state within a month, might keep him from trying to involve law enforcement. Include the threat of serious penile shrinkage, and the fact that the couple (and others not revealed to him) will be monitoring him closely, to thwart much likelihood of him trying to attempt recrimination.
Not a bad little story, but taking a little longer in its execution could have upped the ante!

Meh. Darren was certainly a sh$t. And the confrontation in the hotel restaurant was good. But her instant litany of reasons was muddled. Yes she was drugged and therefore raped. Btw no one goes to jail in the UK for that? Second, yes the crappy photos that she bought into with her husband and Kelly. Smdh. She doesn't confront him? Yes she is worried about being fired. Ok blackmail sex is still rape. But then she is lonely as John is traveling a lot and always tired. Well oops, Darren set that up too bitch. And it has only been four months. Oh and yeah menopause, which btw for MOST women lowers their libido once it actually starts. Author wrote and interesting story but swept a bunch of things under the rug. They f$cked four times, really three as rhe first was outright rape. She doesn't go to husband. She is blackmailed with photos? Sorry if drugged, then get tested. Date rape drugs and even C are detectable as urine metabolites form 3 to 7 days depending on which drug. If raped, tell your husband. Doesn't matter about seeing photos supposedly of him with another woman. If you are going for a revenge f$ck why do it with a slimy rapist who you thought was a friend. Surreal. And she kept caving to it, ultimately because she doesn't want to be fired, and she is bored with her husband on the road a lot with her higher sex drive. If the latter is rhe main reason to continue, why the bleep hasn't she already have had affairs. To be fair, she probably rationalized that by getting revenge. But it w as just a mess with so many different reasons. Also why all the touching, laughing, etc at the table or when walking around the hotel? Wtf? The rapist gets the girlfriend experience? To me that undercuts a lot of her reasons for continuing. So yeah muddled and murky.

Meh. Too convoluted. Drugging, rape, blackmail sex (which is also rape), menopausal nymphomania, lot of office shenanigans, faked photos regarding MC purported cheating, etc.
Seriously, no woman unless eh is afflicted with a mental disorder, willingly has sex with her rapist.
Yes he threatened photos, but it was (supposedly) her husband having an affair (false), her heightened libido (usually opposite effect with menopause), getting gifts and companionship (all the holding hands, jokes, finner conversation once a month), and her compartmentalization, that made her WANT yo have sex with her rapist. I call bs. That is nonsensical.
That being said Karen does comes off as a bit of a nutjob. She tessl Darren sex with him is not very good, and well she enjoys it because she feels she had to go through with it so she might was well enjoy it, but hey with time she can train Darren to be as good as her husband. But... she tells her husband the sex was sh$t, Darren is terrible and selfish, but she is really horny and since he was a friend (hello freaking rapist is NOT you or your husband's friend!), she enjoyed his company, which bte apparently included intimacy as they schmooze around the hotel. Wtf? Maybe she is psychotic.
But the worst part, is Darren raped Karen, and nothing happened except for some revenge by the wife in making him have a junior roles in the company. Wtf? No police alerted. Wife doesn't wake up after the rape, even with the weak sauce blackmail threat, and get tested for date rape drugs (detectable as urine metabolites for up to 5 to 7 days afterwards, and if positive, she has Darren by the balls)? No rape kit. No telling her husband. Hubby trades up for a better job via his own blackmail (the letter) instead of getting justice for his wife and his marriage. Sheila isn't told, she learns from YouTube. Wtf?
Let's be brutally honest. Karen wanted to have an affair. Yes the first time when drugged and raped, she was blameless and raped. But she didn't get help. Didn't go to authorities. And it wasn't the blackmail sex threat driving her. It was that Darren has already convinced her that the MC was having an affair while traveling up north. He was too tired on Friday night to attend to her sexually. So heaven forbid, only sex two or three times a week. And she was horny due to menopause (a laughable LW trope btw). She was pissed, wanted revenge, was sick of being neglected (though engineered by Darren), and wanted to have sex with another man. The blackmail and rape is only tossed in yo give a way back to a RAAC.
Meh. 3.5 stars. Not one of the author's better stories. Didn't mind the restaurant scene, but so much of the rest of it was nonsensical or nauseating.
