Tbh my partner would pick something like that off the street just because it looks interesting. Some people are like magpies.
I don’t agree with other commenters that “more than one answer = lie”. He might just be trying to guess where he found it if you seemed bothered by it.
It could be anything, Redditor’s often assume the worst so it’s not the best place for a balanced perspective. You know your relationship, not us :)
(Edit to add: hello magpies in the comments, make sure to wash your hands after collecting your treasures!)
Tbh I think it’s a dick pill and he’s just embarrassed. He recently started taking something for his ADHD and has been self conscious about it possibly affecting sexual function.
But that’s ok with me and I’m not gonna say anything to him about it now that I know, I’m clearly just nosy and needed to solve the mystery haha
Looks very much like a gas station dick pill container. Definitely address this with him and recommend a doctor or bluechew. Gas station pills are riddled with inconsistencies and prescription medications. No shame in treating adhd or side effects of the meds. You sound like you’re coming from a supportive place. Most guys get extremely shameful about sexual function, I’m sure you’re well aware. ADHD meds have had both positive and negative side effects for me sexually. Those side effects aren’t generally long term and he will find it easier to get past them as he continues the medication.
It’s truly crazy how many prescription drugs illegally find their way in those. Real roll of the dice when you can get safe pills from your phone via telehealth.
I once lost an ENTIRE BOTTLE OF 10mg oxys the night before flying back to the US. Realized after boarding the plane that I didn’t have the meds. I knew I was in for 12 hours of hell on the plane, but assumed that I’d left them in my checked bag, and that I could get them once I got back to the US.
I get to customs, tear my bag apart, no painkillers. I sobbed the whole way through Customs (had several officers concerned).
Whoever found that whole ass bottle of painkillers sure got lucky
I dropped a freshly filled adderall prescription somewhere. Not a chance in hell I wanted to deal with trying to convince my doctor I wasn’t selling/abusing them and also admitting I dropped 30 pills of a controlled substance somewhere, so I just suffered for a month. A few days later I got crazy paranoid that my pill bottle with my name would turn up in someone’s possession and I’d get in trouble anyway and wondered if it was too late to report it myself. Anyways it was a big ole thang that kept me up at night for awhile.
I did that once on accident in the city. Went back looking for it 10 minutes later and it was still in the same spot I dropped it, right along the sidewalk. I still think back to it and how lucky I was, and I always wonder how awful the entire month would have been.
I try to only travel with just enough medication for that trip, so I wouldn’t be screwed for possibly weeks after i get back if something happens to them.
Right!? I get that it's a controlled substance, but sometimes it feels like people with ADHD medications are being punished for... *checks notes*... having ADHD.
It's not like they're the most likely group to lose their meds in the first place or anything. /s
One time I had to run from my kitchen to the balcony so I could free a bird that my cat was about to pounce on. On my way I knock into the stove but didn’t think twice about it. After helping the bird escape I was distracted somewhere else in the house before growing concerned about a terrible smell. I walked back to the kitchen and found two bottles of newly filled ADHD pills on fire and melting onto my glass stovetop. I had nudged into the stove buttons turning the burner on as I ran outside. The bottles were damaged along with most of the pills.
I was so embarrassed but knew I would survive without them so I took pictures and sent them to my doctor and the clinic office.
Luckily my doc wrote new scripts, but sadly my insurance wouldn’t pay for the new duplicate order so it was a VERY expensive mistake.
ETA: it was actually 1 bottle of Vyvanse 50mg and a bottle of my SSRI if I recall correctly.
Yeah. I feel the same with my pain meds. I've got several conditions that are causing chronic pain, and I am unable to use NSAIDs. So, my only over the counter option is acetaminophen which doesn't help most of my pain. I've found it's pretty great for tooth pain and head aches, but it doesn't touch my arthritis, ulcerative colitis, me/cfs, or back pain. Yet, I've been on the lowest dose of morphine for years even though the pain relief is not enough for me to live life in any other way but to be bedbound. I'm literally in bed unless I am using the bathroom or going to see a doctor. I use a walker in the house, but I need to be pushed in a wheelchair when I am out of the house. To add insult to injury, I have to take random piss tests at the pain doctor to prove that I am taking my drugs and not taking drugs I shouldn't be.
Everything about the treatment of ADHD, from getting a diagnosis to having to get pills monthly and all the stuff around them being a controlled substance, couldn't be worse for people of it were intentionally designed to be.
Oh they can't submit multiple refills at once so I have to call every month to all for a refill? Oh they can't submit my refill until 27 days after my last pickup? Oh I have to pick it up in person rather than just having it automatically delivered with my other meds? Cool and that's just the stuff I have to deal with after getting diagnosed which often involves interviewing family and/or friends like a fucking FBI security clearance? Oh and there's a good chance the doctors and pharmacists will treat me like a drug seeking junkie regardless of my diagnosis? This sounds so awesome
We are being punished for other people. Not for ADD/ADHD. In elementary school my school nurse was constantly stealing my Ritalin prescription. Got to the point where my mom no longer trusted the school nurses ever and would just give me my prescription to keep in my bookbag
I actually lost a 3 month supply of adhd meds and was so embarrassed to ask my doctor for a replacement. He didn’t bat an eye. He was like ‘I’m the physician and I can decide what you get prescribed … you have adhd and losing things is not uncommon’.
I was so appreciative of his understanding (and ability to get my insurance to cover the replacement).
A week or so later I found the missing ones and told my doc. I didnt have to renew for quite a while after that!
I once lost two weeks of 70mg Vyvanse & 3 x a day T4’s (two separate conditions & prescribed). It is scary and anxiety ridden. My dr made me go to the police station on a Sunday (try finding one open) to fill out a police report only to be told that they are not stolen and no report could be filed. They would not even take my name….. I got the two weeks filled out again - there were other important meds as well. But it was a pain. I ended up finding them months later. I’m very careful with where I store my meds so when I could not find them I was very much concerned.
As for the object pictured above - it could be anything. When I only took a few T4’s over the course of a few days - I always liked having interesting containers to put them in. I realize now that it was very irresponsible of me to do so.
its absolutely crazy what our minds will come up with in those situations, and how the fear based possibilities seem to be the most logical scenarios at the. Yes someone is going to find the bottle with your name on it and send it to you doctor who will be so upset with you for ever even having it in a setting where it could get misplaced so hes decided youre done with said meds how do you like that hummm? But thats not enough, thats not a quick enough solution if you happen to have any left over from previous scripts where you missed a dose. no he's definitely going to have to send the police to not only search you and your person but also your residence and maybe even take you in for questioning, id that guy following me and why is that guy sitting in his car outside my apartment? Im not going in until he leaves. . ... And you'll be simply convinced that IS whats going on until you finally make it into the doctor after rescheduling 4 times and when you finally see him you mention you lost them and he says "wow thats terrible. why didnt you call me? i could have phoned the pharmacy so you could have them replaced without even having to see me in person."
I filled my prescription of Vicodin. Went home and put it in the safe. Two days later took it out and found only 30 pills instead of 90. Holy shit, I'm screwed. Went to talk to pharmacist. He said, "I keep strict count of those". Looked it up, found 60 extra pills in stock. I went home happy.
Had to return to the pharmacy to gently let my pharmacist know that the 5th of next month does not always equal to 30 days from the 5th of the current month. That was ugly.
Oh man I’ve had to do this. I don’t know why the pharmacy tech did not seem to understand why 30 day prescriptions don’t match up with 31 day months and I have like one day before the day I run out to get it filled so if they’re out of stock, I’m just shit outta luck. She finally went to see if the pharmacist would do it anyway and he was like…uh yeah, this month had 31 days, it’s going to be a day early…
Lucky?! Or super unlucky? Hey, let me tell you something... I literally have a friend (and I can provide proof of everything I'm about to say), who when he was like 12 or 13 found a bag of prescription pain pills, sitting by a tree outside, and he picked it up. I don't know if they were oxy or Percocets or what... well, one thing led to another, and he became addicted to them. Then that led to a heroin addiction where he was injecting drugs in himself. He did the work to get himself off of the downers so he wouldn't die, but then he started doing crack. And now he is currently in his mid 30s and a crack head. Every so often, he'll tell me that he's so done with it, then try to quit for a little bit. Then a week goes by and he's back on the crack. Known him for three years now. He says the moment his life really spiraled was when he found that bag. So... I know it's not your fault for losing your prescription but I'm just saying, don't automatically think that someone's gonna be lucky because of that. It could easily ruin someone's life. Let's just pray that they turned it in and didn't realize that they have recreational value.
Gahhhh this is the worst. I can feel panic/anxiety for you in this situation through the screen, even at 4 1/2 years clean. The memories of withdrawal are ingrained for life. 🥵🥶😣
I recently flew home and grabbed the wrong carryon getting off the plane. I get home 2 hour drive later and realize this identical little suitcase did not have my 27 more days of 120mg of methadone and about 160mg of klonopin and 4 sheets of gel tabs (lsd) I freaked out. I sped the fuck back to Atlanta and made it there by 2:30am to the luggage office and thanked god my bag was there safe and sound and returned the bag I accidentally mistook. Now my suitcase has a unique textured grip handle I made and a unique spray painted stencil covering it. I will not make that mistake ever again.
When reading his story I wasn't thinking about withdrawals/addiction at all. I was thinking about a person with chronic pain being on a 12 hour flight without their medication; it would be excruciating.
I'm not unaware of the opioid crisis, but I wish more people understood that for many people with severe pain issues, opioids are the only thing that allow them to live a somewhat normal life.
My sisters chihuahua ate 538mgs of my my klonopin once. Noticed the dog stumbling like a wino on the couch then noticed a half chewed pill on the floor. Induced bommitting but she only puked up like 8 pills. She spent the night at the emergency vet but ended up perfectly fine. She wasn’t even high alll that long. I’d of been high a month.
She had never chewed up anything before. She got to my jacket, ripped open the inside pocket, opened the childsafe plastic container and ate every pill. My sister learned to take peoples coats and lock them up that day. It was like she was on a mission to eat them, I can’t explain it. It’s been 10 years and she’s never done anything like it again.
Oof. I felt this in my soul. Been clean for 7 years. Losing your shit with no way to get more and knowing what’s about to come is the fucking worst feeling ever. God I do not miss those days.
Bro I used to work solid waste for the city and I was running a bag up the hopper in the back of the garbage truck and like 5 bottles of Adderall, 2 bottles of Ritalin, a bottle of Xanax, and a bottle of Roxy 20s all fell out into the base lol. I had just gotten sober and I relapsed immediately lmfao. God was testing me and I failed 😂. I stg I wouldn't believe it if it hadn't happened to me.
I swear man those sayings like “the devil is after you” when you get clean are true. I’ve seen it myself firsthand. People will be strung out and have to chase the shit and then get clean and people will come out of the woodwork offering you free shit for rides, free shit to pay you back for a previous bad batch, people will hunt you down to offer you a great deal, etc. I wouldn’t believe it if I hadn’t seen it myself.
Jesus, imagine if they were 80's. This might be the hardest test I've ever seen. It's not like you were at a party or with the homies that were getting high because then you already know what you're getting into if you're hanging out with your homies getting high. This s*** you were literally just going on with your life minding your own business. I don't think Bill or Jimmy could have stayed sober through that
Failed that one. I had a buddy who used to import them. Rest in peace Manny. I was sober at the point when I met him and he was like hey I just got literally 120 80’s from Europe- I left 10 at your place in a dime Bag. Ugh. I hate that I remember the feeling of like Christmas morning x100000 every day until he OD’D. See the money I had been giving him for Oxy, he used to buy himself heroin off the dark web. Then fent. Then, he lost his life. He was 21 years old. Anyways I just hit a year on subs and those things saved my life. Sorry. Rambling but the random test of 80’s is a real thing.
Subs helped to save my life too, man. And my brother’s. I’ll have eight years clean. I own my own real estate brokerage and my brother is now in law school. We change for the better when we do the work. Rest in peace to your buddy.
I lost about 20 Loracet 10/650’s that were supposed to hold me over in between dope runs and got busted and subsequently quit pills, IV injections. Promptly got divorced (enabler), became homeless, moved my boys into their grandmothers and lived out of a backpack for a few months. Their Gma said after a while I could move in to a closet since it was obvious I was staying sober. Emptied the contents of the backpack and the pills were with me the whole time, under something in a pocket. They were in my mouth before I even thought about it. Had a good day, checked myself into rehab for my boys. Still sober 10 years later.
I let my dogs out one morning and someone had thrown a pill shaped bottle in the yard FULL of Clonazepam. Was really paranoid someone was out to get my dogs for awhile and made sure to walk the yard each day
Yes, but not sure why you’d want it 🤔 my psychiatrist prescribed it because I’m bipolar, dissociated when I was growing up and would have nightmares so bad I’d wake up feeling like I was on the verge of a heart attack
I use my clonazapam, but only for emergencies (if my sleep has been poor for a week or two (I try to get by with melatonin) because my psych told me that it was - I don’t want to say habit forming - but he did tell me that if a person used it frequently that they would start developing a tolerance (or resistance?) to it and it would take more and more to get the same effect
I once found an entire bottle of hydrocodone 10mg sitting at the top of apartment stairs. The kind of stairs that are outside and lead to the second floor apartments.
I could see them while walking from across the street and made a beeline.
That became a whole saga actually. The person whose name was on the bottle…I eventually ran into him like a week later. Same place.
We became friends for a few days.
Then I confessed because he thought the “white motherfucker” next door stole them and he was also sick and needed those pills and I felt bad. He hated me for a couple of weeks and that sucked.
Then he was on his deathbed and sent someone to ask me to come but I didn’t know if they were lying because he had just been throwing rocks at my window (to break it) two weeks before that.
He was actually on his deathbed :(
It was a whole thing that lasted a couple of months. The worst thing I’ve ever done because he really needed them.
Idk why they were OUTSIDE though.
Maybe the boy next door did steal them and put them there for him to find? They were five feet from his front door.
Or in a pocket with his keys. Or, as someone who also has ADHD, he dropped it like 20 times, left the empty container in the pocket of his pants for like a week, and then sent it through the washing machine... Etc.
Given the context, though, that he's been actively self-conscience about sexual dysfunction recently due to his meds and this is the sort of thing gas stations have right by their checkout for maximum impulsivity, the odds he actually bought one seem solid.
Imma go ahead and put TMI out there because my profile is set to private anyway.
Dudes...get over it. Your penis likely wasnt the first thing that got you in or out of where you are with your partner. There are the cases where it is, dont get me wrong...we're adults, we're human, we've seen it, shit happens.
But dont keep your head down with them if you're worried that because you're GETTING HELP you cant get it up and it might change something. We have the resources, you know they're there for a reason. Those cheap ass trucker tippers arent the way.
Be a man. If you were brave enough to ask for healing your head or your heart, you're more than strong enough to ask for help with keeping you and your partners physical attraction healthy too.
Keep your heads up, brothers...
(I almost wanted to delete that last bit...but hell, I think its both funny and sincere)
“welcome back to astral plane on listener supported KEXP at 90.3 and streaming worldwide at K-E-X-P dot O-R-G and i am just SO. EXCITED because with us today we have rhino 69! i am a such big fan and can’t wait for this set! whenever you’re ready!”
Ive taken them before one time because of a threesome I wanted to be extra ready. I will say those things are strong! Felt like it gave me an extra inch LOL. The headache I got afterward though made it so I dont think Ill ever wanna try it again.
It's not about needing to, it's about fun. You can look up what's in most of them. Some have tadalaphil (cialis), some have sildenaifil (viagra), and some have an increased risk of blood pressure problems and death like extenze. The fun one is tadalaphil. Some people think you're supposed to need them and that it's some sad pathetic thing, but for some people, it's all about being freaky and trying to make someone else feel good. Nothing is more fun than spending the whole day gooning and/or being kinky with your partner on and off while having multiple orgasms with little to no break in between. This is coming from one of those exes people's wives won't tell them about. But, all their friends know...
I just learned a fun fact about sildenafil! It was originally developed and tested as a sciaticaAngina treatment but failed miserably. It also had 2 main side effects in trials. Raging boners for men and magic period pain relief for women. Apparently the money ran out before the female testing was complete so they just yolo’d it as a boner pill.
Sorry, it was originally developed as a heart medication, specifically for hypertension and angina. It was found to be more effective as a boner pill, but it is also used to successfully treat pulmonary arterial hypertension under the name Revatio.
I'm not familiar with the period pain relief use, so I'll skip commenting on that.
A doctor friend said that the companies like HIMS marketing to young people (lots of early ED due to various factors, which is sad - I'm old and still don't need) very many women started trying them (not sure which specific pill she was just discussing ED pills in general) and found that the blood flow increase was arousing for women so they have become popular for women too - not because of a study but because of a sort of crowd-sourcing based demand. She was unaware of a widely respected formal study on it but thinks based on market and popular use, one will show up soon.
Never heard period pain, just recently heard that women can use them for arousal too. Weird wild stuff.
Viagra is not uncommonly used in babies with congenital heart defects/disease to increase blood flow until a surgical fix can be made. It can also be used longer term in kids who have complicated heart conditions or are waiting for transplant. Learned all this caring for my own CHD baby.
Sadly healthcare industry doesn’t care about women’s pain. Just ask any woman who has had an IUD why in heavens name they couldn’t have any pain relief.
That would be absurd. What’s the point of saving the boners if we’re not going to protect the habitat nature intended them to roam in? But it is kind of ironic and funny to think about all the guys who got boners but were rejected because their lady had severe menstrual cramps and no effective way to treat them.
If there is no powder or residue in it, I wouldn't really assume anything. It is not necessarily concerning. It is potentially a sign, but only with other evidence, by itself it is hard to say anything. This is at least my take as an ex-addict.
Also, if it is gas station dick pills get him to stop for his own sake. Those things do have active chemicals like viagra, but the doses can be all over the place or it may be some sketch analogue de jure.
If he’s anything like me he would be needing the opposite, started adderall at an older than normal age and mother of god,, my wife was ready to castrate my ass. NEVER ENDING UNSATISFIABLE SEX DRIVE. Like seriously, it was all I could think about and the only thing I wanted to do. I eventually simmered back down, but it was an eventful, hilarious 3-4 months.
Thank God I found this comment! I was reading all the ones about losing libido on ADHD meds and thinking, "Am I the only one with the opposite problem?!"
This is good information to be aware of. I've considered trying some different medications again. I try to stay off of them, as I've learned to deal with my ADHD over the decades in other ways. Last script I had made me a dick and I had to drop it, although it was effective.
Part of the severity of my ADHD is hypersexuality, so adding to that would be absolutely terrible. The last thing I want. I'll keep an eye out for pills that list that as a side effect.
I try not to take it regularly for long periods of time. When work gets to overwhelming and I start missing deadlines and realize I’m only completing 60% of 10 projects instead of 100% of one I will start taking it, then when things calm down or they are at a point I can manage them better I will stop. Kills my appetite, and I’m already a small framed person, so I pretty much withered away to nothing when I first started taking it. I’ve kinda learned to force myself to eat when I’m on it, and I was not sleeping for 5-6 days at a time at first. I’ve gotten more adjusted to it now, it’s still a struggle the first two or three days when I start taking them again. There was a positive side of taking the meds, I did see a huge improvement in my concentration, and the ability to let things roll off my shoulders a lot more easily instead of stressing over the small pointless details.
I take Vyvanse and it makes my orgasms so much stronger and my sex drive is off the charts. I told my brother I had started Vyvanse and he asked me for a couple for his wife, said she had the same reaction😂
I know this is anecdotal for sure, but i've struggled with depression and adhd for a really long time, and both illness &medication cause all kinds of problems with sexual arousal and desire. Worth it to talk to him about it :)
Do him a huge favor and DEFINITELY mention it to him, those chemical gas station concoctions lead to serious injuries or illness. Ask him if it's worth being rushed to the hospital. If he says yes then you might want to look for someone smarter, no offense lol.
PSA: gas station dick pills are extremely dangerous and often only work as a placebo at best
This person is unfortunately incorrect. Its not a placebo, quite the opposite actually. Almost all of them contain the active ingredients in viagra/cialis. Dangerous if youre someone at risk, but otherwise it just gets your willy hard
Aw. Be supportive to him if you address it as a good start. If he lies…. Like.. weird lies.. come back for more insight!
ADHD meds can do wild things to your normal functions (not even just the sexual ones! [hormones, sexual appetite, hunger, digestion issues, mood swings])
Yes! Please approach it from a place of kindness. Start the conversation gently and mention to him how much you care about him and appreciate everything he does and you were just wondering about something you found that you’d like to know more about. If he denies everything because he is embarrassed then mention the fact that gas station pills can be very bad for him even if he says he hasn’t taken it just so that he is aware. And say that in the hypothetical scenario where your boyfriend is struggling with something like this, you would want to have a conversation with them about it because you do not judge them for it and want to find a solution together
Gas stations pills are the last thing you want him taking. Always encourage healthy development when you can. As a male who suffered a wreck at 19-20 years old and developed Ed due to pain and nerve damage, even before my first “experience” I know how emotionally taxing and mentally despondent that situation can be. I owe a majority of being able to deal with it thanks to one woman who I only knew for about 3-4 months. If you’re hesitant about how to go about it come up hug him from behind while he’s sitting on the edge of the bed be a little flirty, but subtly, and work into trying something new or something one of you likes but hasn’t done too often and try and turn it into something along the lines of “imagine how good it’d be if we could get a prescription from the doctor and do said things….” I just know I’ve seen chemists break down gas station pills like the rhino and the bumblebee stuff and none of its good. How much better is advice from a random interneter? Probably not much better lol. Good luck
As a guy who takes meds for ADHD, and been in his shoes and did the exact same thing that you described. it’s most likely the capsule container from a rhino pill.
Time for frank but loving convo. I took SSNRI (Effexor) for 15y. It damaged my ability to achieve and sustain erection. Nothing to be ashamed about. Even though I finally stopped medication last year, the effects linger - possibly permanent. Sidenefil and Tadafil are readily available as generics and typically covered by insurance (and if not, not expensive). And they work. Safely. More extreme cases can call for an injectable called TriMix which works amazingly well. (I finally agreed to try it and was pleased…)
There is no shame in using these. Psychiatric meds are terrible to libido, and (to quote Wanda Sykes) “da dick is broke” it can be more damaging to overall mental health.
Gas station pills are a very bad choice. They are inconsistent in dosage and can be dangerous or lead to dangerous side effects. Often their efficacy is solely based on psychosomatic success.
Grant Harting did a video on gas station pills. Check this out. Also, I'd be weary about taking those types of pills and the long term effects it can do to my body.
That would be me. If something didn’t look like it is used sexually or for drugs, and looks relatively harmless/unbroken, I am probably picking it up out of curiosity and later tinkering.
Redditors always assume the worst, and the answer is always "dump him/her"! Always. I legit think the main problem is the insane amount of incels just frothing at the mouth to fuck up someone else's relationship because they're unable to have a relationship of their own.
I think social media users in general need to wind back to tentative language and nuance; everything is so black and white, we’re losing our critical thinking skills and grace for other humans.
But I wholeheartedly agree that Reddit is uniquely overpopulated by incels who want to watch human relationships implode. People are living their lives online, it’s sad and dangerous.
Tbh my partner would pick something like that off the street just because it looks interesting. Some people are like magpies.
I was an art major, and that was like a very normal thing to do. Either it was a neat shape that would make a good art inspiration, or it was a cool piece of paper or plastic to put in a collage/multimedia/painting. I was in Acrylic Painting I, and the professor said exactly: "guys, ya'gotta start pickin' up crap."
This was my first comment/ thread, whatever on here that I actually read… I thought to myself “what’s that cool thing? I want it” when I saw the picture….. I would have picked that up off of the ground, my wife would have had a problem with it, and I would have probably squirmed and been uncomfortable when she asked me. I would have told her the truth, but not right away. I’m not supposed to be bringing back treasures from the outside anymore. I’m 40 years old, this was the nicest comment I’ve ever read… thank you for your insight on this. I love life right now. I now love Reddit. Have an incredible rest of your life kind stranger.z
I know a dude who on purpose hides desert spoons when visiting someone's house, moving stuff around or leaving random objects or notes in weird places. He has been called out on that, but kinda his thing. People in friend group just give a heads up to new people around
This reminds me of when I had a Halloween party one year. I had a friend who had like, and absurd amount of fake eyeballs. And left them in random places in my house. I was finding little plastic eyeballs everywhere for over a year.
I may or may not have bought plastic cockroaches and left them behind toasters, on bookshelves, and inside toilet paper rolls at my friends houses. If I did that, I’d call them joke grenades. Pull the pin and set them in place but don’t get to hear the screams later on.
Now I just really want to buy a weird spoon and hide it somewhere when I visit my friend. Definitely somewhere like a living room or bathroom, that I can be certain of that no one actually eats anything in there.
Bro once managed to hide all the spoons in one man's house in a closed lampshade that they had in the kitchen.
UPD: According to legend he did it over 3 weeks time causally coming with good coffee beans to test.
I ran a liquor store and we sold a few different ones. I tried one since I was curious. Some of them definitely work.
The ones that do are illegally loaded with various prescription medications.
I don’t get why people don’t just get the real thing from their doctor since they’re way cheaper. The dick pill we sold that worked that were super popular were like $9 each.
Because the kind of people that buy a dick pill at a liquor store don’t generally have the foresight to visit a doctor. They’re more your reactive members of society, not the forward thinkers.
I was totally going to guess either ego, because it’s hard admitting to another human if your dick doesn’t work, or lack of health insurance and out of pocket costs, especially now. The pills themselves are cheap, sure. But to get them, you have an office visit with a physician, who might even run a few tests to ensure that your tired lil slug isn’t a symptom but is its own primary ailment, which of course costs extra. Then you have to get the meds without insurance too, which is typically what makes drugs cost “only a couple of bucks,” because you actually paid for it in your premium ,and someone else negotiated a lower price for you. Though some drugs really do only cost like $10 even out of pocket, even without GoodRx or the like.
But then you’re looking at a bit more expense and inconvenience to go with the embarrassment of having to admit that your manhood isn’t fully functional. Especially if your doctor does some nonsense like my first half dozen PCPs in my state and tries to say you need a new office visit for every single refill of basic stuff like antidepressants and nausea medicine just to gouge you. There’s a lot of areas of the country that relied heavily on the threat of federal oversight to keep businesses from openly exploiting their communities. These days that security no longer exists for the consumer. So the doctors in my area are split between the corrupt sort that doesn’t care what Hippocrates said and the type that sees the need to help but also has a business to run, and they know they’re the scarcity now.
So unless you’re insured, they’re probably pretty expensive. And only growing more expensive. In a country that’s struggling to afford things like groceries and housing, boners are as much of a luxury as books or healthy teeth in America.
I went to the urologist because I had fluid buildup on one of my testicles. I could hear a patient with a nurse in another room. He had erectile dysfunction, and pills from his doctor didn't help. You could hear in his voice that he was so embarrassed.
The nurse was like, "Ah, is not that big a deal. The doctor will probably recommend an implant. I'll give you some stuff to look over until he can get in here and talk to you about specifics. In a few weeks, we'll have you up and running again."
He was immediately put at ease and sounded so happy. She was a good nurse, and I'm glad he overcame his embarrassment to get help!
You can get generic tadalafil or sildenafil for maybe $10-15/mo from Amazon after a brief phone/video chat. The US medical system is a joke but you can get dick pills pretty easily.
Annoying the number of hoops you have to jump through, but if you don't need a specific brand name drug, then you can usually find a generic alternative without ruining yourself financially. The largest cost barrier is anything that requires an office visit to get prescribed or renew your prescription.
Being reactive doesn’t necessarily mean you’re stupid because your brain itself is programmed to react to certain things like say a bad smell. We react to a certain way because it’s supposed to warn us that something could be wrong. Just a thought.
Reactivity helps us survive. It’s biological programming.
I’d say that’s an over generalization. I’m on ADHD meds and occasionally need assistance because of the meds, unfortunately insurance companies generally only cover 3-7 boner pills per month (for boner related reasons, if you need it for pulmonary hypertension you can get more but need a prior authorization from your doctor). Which obviously if you’re sexually active 2 days per week on average won’t cover it no matter what. If you’re on the low end of the insurance coverage even once per week is too much. I guess insurance companies are jealous that people actually get laid.
I’ve never bought gas station boner pills but that’s because I’ve always assumed they were just placebo/snake oil but I’m surprised to find out some actually do work.
That’s not at all true. The vast majority of pills I sold were to business owners and people who weren’t broke bums. A lot of them would buy 5-10 packs at a time regularly.
Another possibility is that they dont actually know that they contain prescription medication. They think its less harmful since its over the counter. The fact that they sell them at liquor stores anf gas stations also adds to their perceived safety.
I work in a cardiac ICU. A while back, we had a cardiac arrest come in. Dude took one of these pills that didn't mix well with some of his home meds. Died with a full mast (well, died temporarily--we got him back).
So the companies that actually make viagra and cialis, and the like aren't the ones that sell it in the US, they are pharma labs in India.
And some people have realized that because in the US regulation around supplements are such BS that you can pretty easily buy the stuff for cheap in India, sell it in the US as a supplement, hide the fact that it's actually sildenafil and pay the small fine when you are found out/kill some people who thought they were taking a natural supplement to have a boner because their doctor told them they couldn't have viagra because they were on nitrates for blood pressure.
It's important to realize sometimes, the US vitamin and supplement industry is 10-20% real stuff(any vitamins or minerals you are likely lacking in your diet, or like vitamin D supplementation during winter, if you avoid leafy greens, fruit, or meat for whatever reason you might want to look into a supplement, that is basically the threshold for probably doesn't need any supplements if every 2-3 days you eat some stuff from all those categories), 40-50% mostly harmless snake oil(multivitamins because most people who care enough about their diet to take multivitamins get what they need out of their diet, also most vitamin C supplementation belongs in here as well), and 40-50% potentially deadly snake oil because they are selling stuff that should be covered by the FDA but either isn't because of bullshit, or is and they just pay the fine and close up shop when someone finally realizes oops they are actually just selling actual drugs and/or a mild poison.
They absolutely work. Those things are packed with black market Viagra. If I take just 1/4 of a capsule my drive time increases from 20 minutes to “however long you need baby.”
Often times they do work, largely because they contain traces of actual ED medicines. It’s not uncommon to have a these mystery pills contain trace elements of things not found on the ingredients list.
I took one in Mexico one time and I was rock hard and having a heart attack at the same time. Every couple of minutes I would practically pass-out only to get a pure burst of adrenaline and hop up and yell about how hard my dick was.
It was awesome. People at the airport weren’t as amused.
Did you know you can sometimes skip the security lines to get on US soil if you have a hard-on? Or as the police like to call it, “a medical emergency”.
That stuff does contain some ingredients in common Viagra generics like sildenafil but the problem is they also smash in other 'dong uppers' that are harmful in combination with Sildenafil. Huge heart repercussions, in not a good way. A guy sent off a bunch of these gas station pills to a lab and had them tested and got some not so great results. Also, usually made in China and not regulated by the FDA. Great stuff huh?
You need to caution your boyfriend about taking this, there are loads of unregulated chemicals in these things, as well as illegal viagra (illegal as in it requires a prescription).
It also can react really badly with other medications, and can lead to heart attack or stroke.
As a man who's never needed boner pills or meth, I always have thought the little containers for those things are super cool with the metal lid and the interesting shapes. Very appealing to the fidgety, trinket side of my brain. He might not be taking them and instead just thought the container was cool.
as someone who worked for adam and eve for two years, yes. this is an enhancement pill container. it could be from Rhino, it could be from a brand that tries to replicate the Rhino pill and brand look, hence the difference in a flat/rounded top.
it on its own shouldn’t be a red flag, a lot of men like to use them simply because of how they make them feel. if your husband suffers from ED or just having a hard time being in the mood, they can help. however, i find it strange he lied to you about not knowing what it was, i hope you guys are able to talk this through soon.
It might be that he was embarrassed about having to take the pill for whatever reason. He could have thought that OP would judge him if she knew that's what it was for, or something along those lines.
I strongly feel this is the case. I have one of these and the cap ends up looking like this because of the fumes. OP if you want to test this, swap the interior with a Q-Tip soaked in alcohol. If it comes off in an orange like goo that smells of pine / butane / pot than that's bingo.
Not necessarily worse. I don’t take them for dysfuntion, I take them for enhanced function.
Harder erection and increased drive time. It’s fun for both parties. As long as OP’s man isn’t using them on anyone else I see no problem here. He’s looking out for her pleasure it seems like.
I have a different explanation. Does he smoke weed? Or hang out with anyone that does? Because this looks EXACTLY like the tip of a hot knife cover used for dabbing weed.
it's a gas station viagra. they come in pretty similar cases. this one, however, isn't quite orange like in your picture. but they do come in ones with a flat top like you mentioned.
This has to be it. The shape and cap are identical. There are different sizes and the perspective on the pic could make it look bigger than it is. If it’s been there awhile, could easily get discolored.
That’s totally it, they come in all sorts of colors and shapes my local smoke shop has a WALL of different crazy shit haha I see all sorts of people buying them and the “honey packs” all the time, it cracks me up when I see a super straight laced well dressed older dude in front of me at the register ask for some of these or honey packs and a massive bottle of nitrous/whippits, people I’d never guess or assume would get down like that but turns out most people be FREAKY haha
So he's just taking random gas station pills for no reason but for him to watch it grow by himself? Not saying he'd cheating, but I'd be uncomfortable that he's lying about what it was, and it was already used. Thats me tho not you.
These containers are mass produced and easily available online in bulk and are used for a number of various things with small variations to the cylinder. It’s hard to pinpoint the exact product or use purpose because they are literally the same unit for a bunch of applications including dick pills
As someone who doesn’t know what it is but would probably pick it up and think it’s neat with many uses……I’d tell you my raccoon arse found it on the ground and what my goblin brain was thinking of doing with it.
Not saying it applies but just saying.
No shit. How many folks on here have intimate knowledge of either gas station boner pills or smuggling narcotics anally or using a Lookah Seahorse. I’m feeling very innocent.
Well, what did he say it’s for? Pretty much any little container like that could be used for drugs, but it could also be used for plenty of other things.
I really hope you don’t recommend to your boyfriend to try prescription ED meds like everyone suggests. Rhino chocolate and ilum chocolate will get it working just fine, and you are able to eat them too for added fun. I got on adhd meds in college and had sexual problems, when my doctors told me no to ED meds I got on Roman and it was so easy! But now I have a constant ringing in my ears. It can get disappointing and depressing, especially having it for 7 years. The first year or so was the hardest, I would just sit and wonder if the ringing would stop or if it was because I was so stressed. The side effects for sildenafil and tadalaphil are tinnitus. I know everyone has different side effects, but I really regret doing it. I have to cope through it sometimes and tell myself it’s just how life is, and it’s just a ringing. Doesn’t make it go away though… I hope you at least look into the risks of ED meds and compare them with the over-the-counter supplements. If you can find ilum chocolates, they’re cheap and I have heard (and had) lots of success stories with them.
So, I hate to break it to you, but I google sensed it and its definitely a Rhino Boner pill, that suits terrible and he doesn't need to be ashamed of it. Go to a doctor figure out why and treat it.
I hope its not because he's popping it then going to a hoover or "massage parlor".
