Nick 'Eugene' Dinsmore seeks help
November 21, 2005


Last week in Manchester, England, Nick “Eugene� Dinsmore was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital after he was found passed out in a hotel lobby.

After regaining consciousness, Dinsmore admitting to taking Somas and other prescription medication. As a result of the incident, he was sent home from the WWE International tour and suspended indefinitely.

Since returning home, Dinsmore has agreed to seek professional help. He flew to an undisclosed location, where he will spend the next two weeks being evaluated at a drug rehabilitation facility.

I can't say i'm suprised, that was the first thing most of us thought when we heard about Eugene being sent home. I'm glad that he is seeking help though and I hope he gets over this before he becomes addicted.

What are Somas?

Tomorrow's Just An Excuse Away,
So I Pull My Collar Up And Face The Cold, On My Own.
The Earth Laughs Beneath My Heavy Feet,
At The Blasphemy In My Old Jangly Walk.

A short answer from Wikipedia, apparently Chris Candido suffered a heart attack after becoming addicted to them:

Carisoprodol is a skeletal muscle relaxant whose active metabolite is meprobamate. Although several case reports have shown that carisoprodol has abuse potential, it continues to be widely prescribed. Carisoprodol is a colorless, crystalline powder, having a mild, characteristic odor and a bitter taste. It is slightly soluble in water and freely soluble in alcohol, chloroform, and acetone. Its solubility is practically independent of pH. It is marketed in the United States under the brand name Soma, and in the United Kingdom and other countries under the brand name Carisoma.

Carisoprodol is a muscle relaxant. It acts by blocking electrical communication among nerves in the reticular formation of the brain and in the spinal cord

It's good that Dinsmore is getting help. I wish him well in his rehabilitation and hopes he comes back to WWE with a new gimmick.

Soma was the stuff that people took in "Brave New World" to put themselves into a daze of contentment

Sounds like a good date rape drug.

I believe it is a date rape drug.
