Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[apollolux]

Hey Shannon, I'm catching up on threads and once again see mentions of the "morphine drip" feeling that DMSI scripting is supposed to promote. I don't normally bug you about stuff, especially about a sub's scripting, but I feel like now's a good time to ask.

What happens if someone, e.g. myself, has in past experiences with prescription painkillers such as morphine, codeine, and oxycodone commonly felt headaches? I've felt headaches with increasing frequency since 3.1 (which I've used for almost twelve months before switching to 3.2 last month) and originally thought it might be side effects either from anti-depressant medication or a slightly under-nutritious diet (apparently "malnutritious" is not a word), but now I'm wondering if it's possibly related to my body's response to the morphine drip feeling and if that's a potential vector for resistance, reversal or otherwise.

The "morphine drip" is the colloquial name given to the scripting tag by the people on the forum. It's goal is to produce sensations of pleasure in having executed a script statement, and that pleasure does not require brain chemistry, nor is any chemical specified for the effect.

The most likely explanation is that you are experiencing something as a result of... subconscious resistance. Headaches are not uncommon in reports from users of 3.1, and I would not be surprised to hear that they are possible as a reaction to 3.2, although they should be (and seem to be) significantly more rare on 3.2.

Morphine drip would not be a cause for, or vector for resistance or related to your headaches. It was turned off in 3.1, in fact.

Interesting!
