RIP Matthew Perry

So he didn’t have drugs in his system when he died, but the side effects of ketamine therapy caused his death?

 

Shit, I didnt even read the story, my bad. Had no idea they used ketamine to treat opiod use disorder. I saw ketamine and just figured he’d been abusing it. Learn something new every day.

 

So, he had a heart attack and drowned?

 

This is why autopsy’s are done.

 

Ketamine is also used to treat depression through a nasal spray administered by a medical professional. Brand name Spravato.

The person I know who has weekly clinic visits for Spravato has been going for around 4 years now and it's been the most effective drug out of the 20 plus they've been prescribed over the years.

 

Matthew Perry wrote in his memoir that ketamine, the drug that led to his death, had his 'name written all over it'

 

Ross, Rachel, Joey, Phoebe and Monica?

 

And...Perry bad drug news knocks Biden good drug news off the front page.

 

It kind of bugs me when someone rich or famous dies of an OD or whatever and the cops go "all in" on finding their dealers. But then, I guess these dealers were probably also responsible for other ODs from people who weren't rich or famous.

 

Even with my mediocre job, being a PA to Matthew Perry sounds like a pretty awful gig.

 

Unless you're a drug addict. If you're an addict the perks would be AMAZING.
