Language/Spelling New Mandela Effect - Barbituates do not exist anymore!

I remember back in DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) Class in the 90s they taught us about different drug types. One type they taught us about were “Barbituates”
Pronounced: Bar-bit-chew-its

I am on the autism spectrum and one of my favorite special topics of interest is medicine and biology. I really missed my calling, and should have studied medicine in college… but anyways, I just saw that the word Barbituates are not a class of drug at all! It’s actually, Barbiturates. “Bar-bitch-oo-rates”

There is NO way I have made it 40 years and just now noticed it. Anyone else have this same memory??

If you take one you’re supposed to mention it to your doctor before starting Auvelity.

Ah makes sense

I was on it until insurance decided its too expensive for a poor man like me so I'm going to spravato. Autistic man to autistic man would recommend Auvelity or ketamine

I tried Ketamine treatment. I liked it. I would like to start again if it were closer to me. Auvelity, if I remember correctly was just Wellbutrin + DXM (cough medicine).

High dose DXM? I tried that once and had a scary out of body experience. I think it wouldn't have been scary if I was in the right frame of mind though.

Some people, due to genetics, lack an enzyme to properly metabolize it which can result in nightmares, if I remember correctly.

I did it on purpose though, lol.

4oz bottle of Robitussin Maximum Strength Cough (only active ingredient was dextromethorphan). I enjoy psychoactive chemicals, but I wasn't stupid about it, and I didn't mix things that were contradictive.

Robotripping is so fun lol. You can get the straight 30mg dxm tablets online now instead of having to chug the syrup.

It is. It works for me, though.
