    Wasn’t it vicodin abuse? All I remember them saying about ketamine was House saying it was a lame drug for being heroin without the high.

            yeah but only because his leg didn’t hurt at all, so he wasn’t miserable. Non-miserable House didn’t make others miserable as much, which in his mind was bad because him being an ass made others better doctors. and since nothing mattered more than saving the puzzle, he didn’t want less than the best from his team

            so House in fact thought being nice made him dumber

        I think at the end of s2 or start of s3 (or s1 and s2) he had a spinal injection of Ketamine that removed his pain, but it eventually came back.

      Yes, for the leg pain initially. Although, I thought for sure either he or one of his staff experimented with other drugs, including stimulants, for various reasons.

      I might just be confusing him with Sherlock Holmes, who was notorious for cocaine addiction.

        Well for one episode he did try some risky drug that eliminated his pain completely, but he ended up stopping the use because it was extremely dangerous.

        I think the lady that had the degenerative disease did party drugs as she grappled with her diagnosis. I don’t remember names.

          lmao very fitting because she was referred to as “13” for most of the show, i think her real name was Remy? she had Huntingtons
