I take clonazepam for anxiety. It makes me not give a fuck, but only barely. I can still feel the crazies scratching at the door of my amygdala. I just don't care that I do.
I find that it helps more if I take it right when I suspect I might maybe need it later than if I wait and take when I know I'm looking at the edge of the cliff.
because of my custom designed plumbing, I absorb it pretty damn quickly. So I just bite half a tab and close my eyes until the panic stops.
My understanding is that she has some peculiar variation of hypoglycemia such that she's allergic to ingesting glucose, though not to touching it generally.

Maybe allergy is the wrong word, but she cannot eat sugar because getting sugar into her blood can in theory kill her and will at least knock her off her feet and give her headaches for a while.

hypoglycemia isn't the word then, because that means low blood sugar
blood has sugar in it, if not you straight up die, it is the fuel for everything your body does

I do not understand. How does she function?
I gather that she has low blood sugar and that she has to stay that way to avoid triggering these related-but-distinct problems, and that consuming simple sugars - or pouring them straight into her veins - is what causes the problems.
High sugar being the problem, not any sugar. Sorry. She has never explained it super well to me but this is my best guess. But I do know that drinking a regular soda would put her in bed for the rest of the day because of however exactly her body reacts to average or high sugar levels.

Just speculating here, since I dunno the situation:
She could be pre-diabetic, or have an enzymatic deficiency. It's not common, but it's not impossible. It's more likely a form of hyperglycemia, not hypoglycemia, where her body doesn't process sugar efficiently enough and it leads to dangerously high blood glucose levels.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
There can also be weird shit that happens in the kidneys in hyperglycemic patients, where an excess of blood sugar causes the kidneys to release potassium into the bloodstream, leading to hyperkalemia. Hyperkalemia can cause heart attacks, so yeah.

So something similar to type 2 diabetes. Makes sense. My father was diagnosed with that about 10 years ago now. He was starting to exhibit symptoms shortly after having complications from dental surgery and a subsequent infection. He was told to drink orange juice to help with the infection. It got a point where he was going through almost 2 litres a day and was still feeling thirsty. One night he was working and stopped into the local health centre since our family doctor was there and was feeling very off and light-headed. They tested his blood and his blood sugar was up to 32 (norm is supposed to be between 5-7). They admitted him right away and had to give him 2 insulin shots over the course of the night otherwise he would have gone into a diabetic coma.

So this morning I had a consult with a plastic surgeon about doing something about the scars on my body, mostly the ones on my back. The doc just emailed me what he thinks he can do. It looks like most of them can be fixed up with the topical cream. Most of the rest they think could be dealt with surgically. But the one on my finger is pretty much just fucked. They can reduce it but they can't remove it.

It was. He would wake up, have a glass then an hour later feel thirsty again and get another glass. It took about 3 weeks for the infection to subside with that and the anti-biotic treatment. Though tbh, in a way we might never have found out about it if he hadn't been drinking the oj as well. He certainly wasn't in great health at that point due to his weight but we never suspected it. It was really coincidental and good timing on his part that he went in that night to see the doctor otherwise he might have gone into the coma during his shift or overnight and died.
