If things go bad & I can’t get #pain #meds on time, can anyone recommend #herbs/remedies/whatever to help withdrawal?

Also, is there anything legal & equivalent in pain control to 25ug fentanyl (not as strong as you think). If I can find something I don’t need a script for that would be great so I’m not held hostage like this in future.

Medicating yourself is pretty much illegal in #Australia unless it’s alcohol.

#Kraktom is illegal btw

"I live well below the #poverty line, so I live in a cheap, slummy apartment #building where #everybody else is poor, too. For the most part, I like this setup. I grew up in poverty, and I’m not comfortable around moneyed #people. (It’s a topic for another day but people with money are really weird about, well, money. You can’t even talk about it around them.) But it definitely has its drawbacks. My neighbours and I are always running out of #food and #meds.

One of the many things I like about poor people’s culture, though, is that we tend to be really good at #sharing #resources. It makes sense: when you’re short on money, you need to have strong relationships to get by. Of course I’m going to give you what you need if I have it–I’m definitely going to need something you have in the very near future. Besides, when we’re all in the same boat, none of us is likely to believe that the reason I can eat today, and you can’t, is that I deserve it more than you, but next week when you can eat, and I can’t, it’s because you worked harder than me. Most of us are well aware that we’re going to stay #poor, no matter how hard we #work."

Let's talk pharmaceuticals... My 1 med costs $1,116 for a 30 day supply from Walmart. At Cost Plus, my 1 med costs $46.20 for a 90 day supply. I know Mark Cuban is a billionaire, but his little pharmacy saves me over $3,000. What is the discrepancy here? They are both generic forms of my meds. I just had to get a 10 day supply to last me until my Cost Plus order comes in. It cost me $73. For only 10 days. The pharmaceutical industry needs to be more heavily regulated.

Yay!! Hopefully this means it will be a lot cheaper!

Blue or red pill?

I found it in stock in an independent pharmacy in a nearby town (about 25 minutes drive).

Debbie (a thousand blessings upon her) said that she'd waive that I didn't live within a 10 mile radius because I was "just real close now, really", and I just drove it over there. An hour of driving to drop off the scrip.

They have to order it, but they'll have it for me tomorrow by end of day. I'll miss more work to pick it up.

This. Should. Not. Be. That. Hard.

I have just gone to fill my Vyvanse for August. Because of insurance, today I took pill #28 of 30. AKA I run out of meds on Wednesday, and today was the soonest I could fill it.

My local pharmacy did not have it. I called four others, one had it in stock.

But because I didn't have an escribe RX but a paper copy, and because my provider isn't in my town, they flat out would not fill it. Sorry good luck and hung up on me. This was a Mental Health clinic pharmacy.

I accidentily skipped one of my #meds yesterday when the pill got stuck to the little ceramic cup I use to hold my pills. I found out this morning when I grabbed my cup and there it was, still there.

Dr: ooof, that’s some serious #ADHD you got there. Don’t worry, there are plenty of great #meds these days that can help

Me: oh thank god

Dr: I wrote three prescriptions for you. But the pharmacy won’t fill them, of course, unless you call them at this exact time every month, and say this exact phrase about how I’ve already send the prescriptions. If you forget to call at the right time this whole system falls apart and there are no drugs for you.

Me: *thinking about #pickles* Sounds good!

In light of forgetting to take my antidepressants twice last week, here's a reminder to take your #meds tbh. :aliceweh:

The #lawn guys are here. Ah, the stench of fresh cut #grass. My #meds will prevent an #asthma attack, but I'll still get a headache.

Looks like I will be going without estradiol for a few days. Delayed due to the process of getting changed over to the home delivery pharmacy covered under my Medicare Advantage plan. It's been a long time since I've had a gap. Should be fun, for certain values of fun. 🤷‍♀️

Hey, the good news is it's zero copay and zero shipping. And because of the overlap, I'll actually be about 60 days ahead on spiro. And I'll slowly build back a cushion on E too.

So I've recently learned that I have #autism and also that there are #meds for #autism. But I've been successful being autistic all my life without knowing. So taking the meds just feels like taking legal steroid for brain power. And it feels super fucking good too!

Does treating my "disability" counts as "treatment" or "medical intervention" as long as I obey the dosage prescripted by the psychiatrist? Or is there some other social rule of when I become a junkie addict?#psychiatry #psychology

Figured out what was causing multiple Bookwyrm stacks and fixed it this morning (building with `docker compose` instead of `docker build`).

Running through all the PRs Renovate Bot opened the last couple days.

Wrote a couple scripts for Docker containers that should be running on a schedule.

Almost 64 oz of iced tea, and a 200 mg caffeine pill. Let's see if I stay awake. #SleepApnea #depression #meds

Been back on my #bipolar #meds a few days now after being off them for a week and I'm experiencing #sideeffects I never have before.
I'm very restless. Bored. Usually im fine being a lazy bastard.
I've lost interest in everything. Video games, tv/streaming, swimming. Ugh

Reminder. Take your medication!
You are allowed to feel better.

Have u sortet your meds for the upcoming week yet? No?
do it now <3

Just got a message from Psychiatry UK: "I just want to let you know that you have reached the top of the waiting list. An allocated prescriber will be reviewing your records in the next few days" AAAIEEE!

Hey cyber-fam. I’m bummed out. I got fired, my scooter isn’t working well, my car isn’t working well, and my #meds aren’t working well (I’m treatment resistant). Sigh. #depression is real. #bipolar2 #mentalillness
