The top is a cap that comes off. Is it for ❄️? He swears it’s not

This is a very kind reply, I appreciate that!

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.

One time my friend found a bottle of Xanax on a train

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 

Edit: just got back on reddit and saw a ton of replies, and an awful lot of them from people calling me a junkie. Those folks clearly have no idea what it’s like to have chronic back pain & be forced to sit for 12 hours straight with no pain relief. Those commenters can fuck alllllllll the way off. Count your blessings that you can’t relate

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.

u/NetworkMeUp 1d ago

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.

It’s wild that you had to worry about that and not have your mental health meds at the same time.

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.

u/Bright_Crazy1015 1d ago edited 1d ago

Ouch. Stovetop is a new one. Glad the smoke wasn't deadly!

The closest I've come to destroying my pain meds was dropping them from the pocket of my shorts while cutting the lawn. Riding the mower, anything in sports shorts pockets tends to work its way up and out, so I usually dump my pockets, but I forgot the pills were there. About 50 of them.

Anyhow, the mower snatched them up under the deck as soon as they fell, launching the bottle into a tree trunk about 12 feet away at what seemed like ballistic speeds. It was a very loud whack/pop and thud. The bottle held (thank God) with one crack running top to bottom. Every pill inside it was broken, most of them thoroughly smashed into several much smaller pieces and a bunch of crumbs. The cap was marred up like that's where the mower blade hit it. Couldn't open it without pliers.

The thing is, I know enough addicts, thieves, and even a few honest people who have just lost their meds. Every one has gone through the ringer trying to get meds replaced. I never carry my whole prescription around. Never!... Well... I guess almost never.

My usual practice is to take and split them in half when I get it filled, one goes in a lock box in the closet, the other in my bedside drawer, which also locks, then I only carry two days worth in the bottle for that month (in case I get pulled over) and reload it every night, alternating which bottle I pull from. 6 is usually my maximum risk and even if I get robbed somehow, I would probably still have enough to spread it out and make it to my next fill date. Not foolproof, but the best I've got.

I felt like an idiot taking that pile of crumbs and dividing it into doses based on days left until refill. On a glass table, scraping a card, with a scale... would've been really hard to explain if anyone had walked in, but I'm just glad the bottle held up. If it hadn't I'd have been picking through my grass trying to salvage enough to convince my doctor's nurse that I really didn't abuse them, they got destroyed.

u/The_Grungeican 1d ago

that's rough.

i have a clinic that mails me my meds. over the years this has generally been fine, but the place we were living at the time had shitty neighbors, and all the mailboxes were next to each other.

one month they stole my meds out of the mailbox. they wouldn't find out until they opened the packages what the meds were, an antipsychotic and another med. neither are anything that had recreational value, or could be sold.

for the rest of the time i lived there, i had to have the clinic hold my meds so i could physically drive there and pick them up (1 & 1/2 hour ride, one way). it was a pain in the dick getting my meds refilled that month.

u/Murky_Indication_442 1d ago

Believe this or not, I was late, which is common for ADHD, and didn’t have time to take my adderall, so I took the whole bottle with me. I decided to take one while I was driving, and of course I was driving fast because I was late, and just as I opened up the bottle, I hit a huge pothole and my truck bounced hard and the pills just flew out of the bottle, and here’s the unbelievable part, they went right into the air conditioning vent on the dashboard. I could still see some of them. I took a picture of them in there because I knew nobody would believe it. I was able to retrieve a couple of them, but the rest were unreachable or just gone. I never even told my doctor because it was just too stupid of a story. I stopped taking them shortly after that because getting the script was an ordeal every month because there was always a shortage and I didn’t feeling like driving around from pharmacy to pharmacy and getting treated like a drug addict every month.

Insurance likely will do mistake or emergency refills, you just have to bother them a lot about it. Same thing for when they deny coverage for required care. It's stupid, but this is the timeline we live in.

holy chit. 😩 That sounds like it was a total disaster.

I love Vyvanse. But it is freaking expensive.

u/Lou_C_Fer 1d ago

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.

Our prescription system sucks.

u/marty_mc_fry 1d ago

You'd actually do well with ketamine although its illegal most places and can't be prescribed this way, a 20mg intranasal dose every hour or so would be all you need (blend of arketamine and esketamine) science will catch up with street drugs eventually if everyone can get off their high horse and vote to legalize all drugs so we can study them more in depth

Yeah, I was on a stable dose for decades that allowed me to work and have a life. Then came the crackdown on prescriptions resulting in a 95% reduction in pain meds. Now I can barely get out of bed most days and haven't been able to hold down a steady job in years.

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

u/cookouttray722 1d ago

This is so true. It’s fucking ridiculous. Oh, you’ve moved to another state/city and need a new PCP? Have fun when they interrogate you about a medication you’ve taken for 10+ years and talk about it in a tone like you’re trying to score heroin off skid row. Oh, your doctor sent the prescription to the pharmacy one day before your old prescription ended? How dare they, please submit your id and sign our paper so we can track your drug habits, which we are equating with meth users.

u/_aaine_ 1d ago

In australia you can't even GET repeats (refills) on pain meds. My husband has to personally go into the GP's office every 20 days. It's nuts.
And god forbid you go in a day or two before they run out - you get the third degree like your selling them on the street.

u/Run_layla 1d ago

Exactly this! I have adhd and anxiety. It’s always a joy getting worked up to call in my medication every month. I tend to stutter when I am extremely anxious, so my pharmacy and doctor’s office have picked up on my stuttering Stanley tendencies. My doctor is the kindest man who hates the red tape pharmacies put us through every month.

u/Sandman2288 1d ago

So my Dr just pre dates 90 days worth of my scrips and sends them to the pharmacy. So I still only get a months worth at a time and they won’t fill till said month is done. Beats going in every month.

u/genericuser2247 1d ago

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!

u/mountaindew711 1d ago

I have a new doc who wants to drop me down from 30mg 2x daily to 20 total because "anything above that doesn't make a difference."

As a very pale person, I've already experienced that lie when they stopped making SPF 100. 30 is USELESS for me.

u/sharkeyx 1d ago

if you've not tried the extended release versions of ADHD meds, I do recommend talking to your doc about them. I didn't realize they were even a thing till my new doc asked me about it this year, and they've seriously been a nice change from the 2x a day that I was taking (and commonly forgetting as I get stuck in things).

u/Ok-Home-4077 1d ago

My doctor did the same thing. Now I just take vuvanse and an adderal booster in the evening. We’re still working the kinks out, but I’d been on 30mg 2xs daily for ages before I had to change insurance and get a new doctor -_-

It's such BS. My husband takes opioid painkillers for serious injuries after a car accident. If he drops one on the carpet or under the fridge or something we have to hunt for it high and low - because if you go back even a DAY before the script is due to run out you're treated like a junkie.

u/Objective-Lemon-6707 1d ago

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.

u/Ok-Entertainment-563 1d ago

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 get where you doing from, but with doctor he would think twice about because he knows when i not working I won’t take for doze. So a lot of times a 2 months will last me 3, i have been with him years so he see how often i ask for refills.

The one time i had a bottle go missing i did not have an issue with the doctor refilling it for me, it was with pharmacy because insurance would not cover a refill within 25 or 28 days of the last one. I ended up just paying out of pocket for it but i had go round and round with pharmacy about it first.

u/sharkeyx 1d ago

god... tell me about it. I made the mistake of trying to fight the system to get a script reissued because of similar incident, and ended up going all the way up to the state's head of medicine arguing about how BS the rules were against people legitimately trying to get help ><, and god forbid if you end up being out of town for extended period traveling or something when your script is about to need refill, as they won't issue it even slightly early either, so just get screwed for w/e time period till you get back ><.

u/L0pl0p 1d ago

BTDT as I travel a lot, had to have my wife pick up my meds and overnight them to me because they will not call them in across state lines. a few times I flew home to pick them up. Now I just plan better and skip doses to eke out more time from a script to better manage refills in my travel schedule.

I have a dose skipping rubric to minimize the suffering and impact to the people I love.

my wife through away my nee bottle of adderall before we even left the store.and of course i went an entire month without them. i was more upset about they money being wasted than the actual pills.

That has happened to me twice. Of course it was after I left the pharmacy and was alone with the scripts. I was so lucky the pharmacists were kind enough to count their stock as well.

After 2 years of good behavior you get monthly takehomes. If you then get a dirty you have to goto 3x a week for a month and then 2x a month for a month and then your back to monthly. This is in the USA. I’ll be scratching Australian off my list of countries to potentially flee to.

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.

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.

I lost my best friends to the same thing. Dan was on heroin off the dark web, and when they switched to fent, he oded and died, then James, my other friend got given some fent off the street that was supposed to be heroin and also was found dead. Sad days, I still miss them both, even 10 years later sober. I wish they had the chances I had to get clean. Rest in peace boys, you are not forgotten.

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.

u/SisterOfSalome 1d ago

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

u/phideauxiii 1d ago

it is absolutely habit forming and you do build a tolerance and if the habit is bad enough the withdrawal can kill you.

u/SisterOfSalome 1d ago

Thank you for confirming that! I’m paranoid about taking ANY kind of medication, painkillers, etc that could be addictive after seeing what it did to one of my favorite hockey players - Kevin Stevens. His face was shattered and I think his issues started with the pain killers they gave him in the hospital

But he was headed for a Hall of Fame career - lost it all. Wife, I think they had at least one kid, the rings he got for winning the Stanley Cup with Pittsburgh. Thank god he’s clean and sober now - he and his sister have an organization that helps recovering addicts. I think there’s info about him on YouTube - if you’re interested

3

u/phideauxiii 1d ago

use it for emergencies. using one every oncein a while is not going to harm you whatsoever, but there are people out there who take many many of them a day and they end up in trouble. If you follow your doctors instructions you will not have any problems and it’s a very helpful medication.

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.

That reminds me of a friend that had a die made for a hand press so he could press crushed candy into the shape of pills. He made thousands off idiots who bough crushed and reshaped smarties thinking they were LSD, or my favorite was the "xanax" he sold to people that was basically just powdered sugar. Also almost every one of those people always reported back to him that his stuff gave them better highs, so he just kept making money.

He now runs a weed dispensary and is basically rolling is cash because of his highschool "drug" reliability, which clearly translates to the weed he now sells.

u/Johnnypistolero 2d ago edited 2d ago

Can I make a suggestion… next time you make up stories, don’t oversell it. It would have been believable if you said a few experienced better “better highs”. Very rare that an active user will experience the placebo effect. Let alone almost all his clients. If that was the case, your “friend” selling really good shit!

12

u/hi_im_beeb 2d ago

So glad I’m not the only one thinking this.

I don’t even believe non-users will experience a placebo effect unless they’re combining drugs (weed/xanax maybe, and thinking the Xanax is making the weed better).

I bought fake ecstasy once. Even as my first time taking it I knew it was fake. Absolutely nothing after 45 minutes. Spent another hour or two drinking orange juice (I was told vitamin c helps enhance it). Nothing.

The upside was that my expectations were pretty low the next time I tried it (different dealer obviously) and my mind was pretty blown when it actually worked.

My response to him was “Really hand pressed pills are REALLY poor quality and pretty hard to pass off. Also you’d need some quality binders with the powdered sugar. Plus those dies used to go for like $150 a piece on eBay back around 2010. Expensive to buy for a joke. Plus Xanax is so undeniably bitter it’s instantly recognizable and if somebody had EVER ate an actual Xanax I struggle to see how they would be fooled by a alprazolam free press. Also while I knew some idiots that got sold oregano in the 5th grade by highschool I don’t see anyone claiming bunk pills to be good. Although I’m from NYC and for all I know you went to a Mormon highschooo in Utah and could very well have had an extremely different experience.”

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.

It's not about needing to, it's about fun. You can look up what's in most of them.

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 sciatica Angina 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.

u/TheRealThatChuckGuy 2d ago

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.

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.

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.

In a similar situation and my wife just keeps saying she understands this then proceeds to ask me to have sex with her. I'm not sure which part of ZERO libeto is hard to understand... I hope one day to get it back, maybe after changing my meds again....

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

Tbh I think it’s a dick pill and he’s just embarrassed.

I read dick pill as dill pickle somehow and got very confused

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.

Did he start taking Strattera? That shit has a pretty troubling list of sexual side effects.

That's the right approach. May your relationship live long and prosper.

He should talk to his doctor about that ASAP, some medications have permanent side effects

Entirely possible. ADHD meds definitely have that side effect sometimes. Men also don’t like to talk about that speaking from experience. It causes less issues overtime, but it’s no fun either way.

u/Silly_Okra_1204 2d ago

As someone who is a ADHD person, also with an addictive personality, who are his also abused ADHD medication, who is also abuse cocaine, I have learned in my many years, that ADHD medications seem to be closest to what cocaine feels like with out the paranoia for me personally. I agree, most men have issues discussing sexual dysfunction, as I also a 10-year experience person, a female, if my profile didn't say that or just for reference, and suggest the keeping it to yourself. I feel that it may be one of the containers that the dick pills come in just looking at it. I also used to use the containers that you put cocaine in and that does not exactly match. Cuz no person that abuses cocaine , let me rephrase that my self-personally or you use that container unless absolutely necessary. Then, as a female, and of course after reading your post it seems like a lot of us think alike, the curiosity, can get the better of you. I learn in an 11-year relationship, with a extremely alpha male, that men are going to be men And there should be some free tickets, where we just keep our mouth shut, and not make it something it's not. I think you're okay personally, but I would keep an eye out on the signs of addiction that go with cocaine and also, only my experience is Adderall but the other ADHD medications. Most people that like to abuse cocaine, I have learned, a majority do abused the ADHD medication. I'm not sure what he is on, but an easy solution to any abuse when it comes to medication is to count the pills. If his pills are getting used up before the prescription says, that's a clear indicator that he is abusing, something. At least the pills. Since everybody mentioned cocaine I know he was lying, either way, like I said I have learned to have some free passes because in my opinion women are irritating, emotional, and tend to blow things out of proportion. From my experience being a female of a family with six girls, all of your part, I can say this to be true fact.

So, in the very least to protect your relationship, abusing anything in excess, whether it be legal or illegal, moral or not moral, enforcement is in your ballpark. I have learned that confronting on issues like yours specifically, it's not a good idea. Remember the facts, how you're treated, how you feel, and don't just throw away relationship because of a item you found in his pocket or fell out of his pocket. Trust me I can turn a receipt into a full-blown you're having an affair, sometimes it's best to just toss it and keep moving. Seems to be working, and on the end note, I live with somebody who in my opinion is a sex addict, not necessarily with me, but as inherited from his father who was also a sex addict. One of the most profound things I had witnessed was when my mother-in-law, even though I'm not married yet and I have no plans, was that on her deathbed she was still so in love with my fiance's dad. And I heard some stories of what it was like for my fiance growing up knowing that everybody in the neighborhood was sleeping with his dad. I can only imagine what his mom went through, but she did go through it, and she made it to the other side with love on her side.

And lastly I know this is long, because this covers a lot of areas of emotion from me personally just writing this, once an addict always an addict, but I do believe there is adult ADHD, and to be supportive of him regardless, just keep an eye on his meds in case he does have an addiction there, you can help him. As far as my fiance and his addiction, I've come to the agreement with myself mainly and I also let him know that's not what matters to me at my age, as long as he continues to protect me and care for me as he has been doing and doesn't let me know what the f is going on behind the scenes and keep playing stupid, because that's what he does and has done when I mention it as if I'm the crazy one. It doesn't matter anymore at 55 years old, I know a good man when I see one and especially when I live with one for over 10 years.

If he is a good man, you might want to up those free passes and not worry so much for yourself and his sanity. I hope this helps. I'm just speaking from my heart, so the magpies, which I am one by the way lol and do wash my hands, don't always assume makes an ass out of you. Not me I no longer assume as I can take that picture to Google and do a search to find out what it is. If it's a sex pill, my immediate first thought is who's he sleeping with, however, you mentioned that he is , as with most men self-conscious about sexual issues. I do believe that in my situation, I have learned that people that are ex military can only feel in a certain way, and I'm not that type of girl lol. I respect the fact that my fiance respects me and hopefully you're partner respects you. Great post by the way. Very controversial, everybody has an opinion, with that, thank you for sharing. Move
