I'm not a drinker since 1996. I may have a shot of Irish Cream every six months, mostly for the taste of it.
My question is: I take a 2.5mg of buspirone as needed. At the most, once a day. I am taking it bc I have two torn muscle of my shoulder- the bicep and the subscapularis. I can't describe the pain. I don't like pain meds or muscle relaxers bc, they make me feel so nauseous. I take buspirone for pain anxiety, when it hurts really bad, and I can't cope with it. The 2.5mg does something to the pain receptors in my brain. It's easier living with a pain ratio of 7 out of 10, over what I normally feel as an 8-9 out of ten. I have to lay on my bed 22 hrs on a heating pad. ( I do muscle exercises of my legs and one arm, to keep my blood flow going, so no blood clots can happen. I also get up for my meals and my cat's meals, bathroom visits, and personal hygeine- washing by BR sink ) I've heard about jello shots. And I've always wanted to know what they like. I bought a small bottle of vodka, jello, and the one ounce plastic cups. Will this hurt me with the low dosage of buspirone that I use once a day ( 2.5mgs ).
I am not a drinker but would like to try what a jello shot?

As Alpha has said a single shot probably won't do any harm but confine yourself to one or two shots. Be careful... once you have some alcohol in your system you might be tempted to take just one more... and then just one more... as the alcohol clouds your judgement.
I was once married to an abusive alcoholic. Put me in the hospital three times. I fled Germany with our baby on my back in a Gerry Carrier. I despise the vise that imprisons alcoholics. My best friend of fifty years has been clean of alcohol for ten years. I helped him with his struggle. He fell of when he was found with cancer. But after two more weeks, he has been clean for five months. I have no desire for it. Just want to know how they taste.
In 1984, I also died of Anaphylactic shock from an experimental anesthesia on the operating table for three minutes and thirteen seconds. I am claimed by God, nothing of this life holds a temptation for me, but God. I have no desire to become a lush. That's why I asked the question, bc I didn't want to take the risk that it may hurt me. My life is important, and nothing to be tossed away.
Thank you for your answer of caution. I will be very cautious. I just didn't know if jello shots could be dangerous with the medication I am on. I will be.
You’re on an extremely low dose of buspirone. A single Jell-O shot shouldn’t be an issue. I hope this helps, good luck to you.
Thank you Alphabravo33. I didn't think it would, because I hate the feeling of being drunk. I will try it at a time when I haven't taken buspirone for a day before or a day after. I want to stay safe.
