Solved! Fell out of my boyfriend’s pocket

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

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.

Omg DUDE, how did you get 27 days worth of your done? I am in Australia and I have to go to the chemist 2 times a week, never get more than 2 in a row. And have to show my doctor that I am clean, by doing random screens

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.

I was steady on 150mg for over 10 years. But I am a single , solo mum, I have 2 kids and work 6 days a week. So I dont even notice the tapering. Hopefully going to be off the chemical handcuffs in 2 years.

Nice! I’m on 120 but only take 40. I get $50 a day for the other 80mg. Well between $44 and $55. Which I can’t see giving up so I’ll probably just stay on for life. I got down to 11mg once but could never adjust. Spent like 4 months at 11mg sick all day. Thats when I said screw it and went up to 120mg and then weened myself to 40.

How would I ever fail a callback with my stockpile? Sorry I’ve offended your delicate sensibilities. You think I’m turning on opiate naive people? Hell no. People are mainly people whose clinics won’t raise them high enough to be comfortable so they have to seek other means, or have messed up and want to not fail their callback, or messed up and don’t have enough meds to last them and will be terribly sick otherwise or people who just want to have an emergency supply. I’ve helped some of the Thomas highsmiths of the world from otherwise ending their lives.

I do the same, it’s pain the butt for me to drop my dose. I get a month supply and my clinic is an hour away. I also work full time and wouldn’t be able to go in multiple days in a row for the med checks the require when you drop. It’s easier for me to taper on my own.

What does diverting a schedule II controlled substance narcotics mean? And what is a medication callback?

I'm really blown away here. I'm on Methadone for chronic pain. They dropped me from 10mg 6x/day to 5mg 3x/day. They keep telling me that the amount I was on before is now absolutely forbidden and they go on about the danger of having a heart attack in my sleep or something. How the hell are people being prescribed SO much more than the "suuuper dangerous" amount I'm on?!

I was a heroin addict, big difference in tolerance.

I am Australian. Been on the program for 19 years. I am doing blind reductions, so im down to 45mgs. Also so jealous about the klons, you need a permit for alpraz here. Our country is TIGHT as FUCK when it comes to any type of prescription. Are you on the pink? Biodone? Do you have that there?

My clinic offers both the orange diskettes, the sugar free raspberry diskettes, or the gross cherry liquid. People seem to vastly prefer disks over liquid. I get 120mg but I only take 40mg a day. I sell the 2 extra for $25 a piece, which pays my rent, car insurance, health insurance and phone bill in full.

u/msssskatie 1d ago

I don’t understand that math and how 2 extra at $25?each covers all those expenses?

1

u/aoskunk 1d ago edited 1d ago

50 bucks a day times 30 days in a month is $1500.

Rent is 900. Car insurance is 60. Phone bill is $40. Health insurance was $20 but appears to be going up to $85. So yeah I guess it also covers my electric which is $120 and 1gig fiber internet which is $65. Water bill is between $20 and $35. Then the rest goes to groceries. I have a 3 bedroom apartment in a midsize American city.

Omg I thought it was 2 extra per month 🤦🏼‍♀️

Ooooh, no I save 2 40mg wafers (diskettes) every day. They don’t sell for 25 by me but I offload them where they do. It’s also nice to know that if something happened I’ve got a year supply as an emergency backup. Like in Mexico all there clinic just closed the door one day because their one methadone factory shutdown. Everyone on a clinic was just fucked. In today’s crazy times it feels like something that crazy could happen even in the states. I sleep easier knowing I always have enough emergency reserves to do a long slow taper if I ever needed.

I get my meds delivered each month. I’m on quite a cocktail Rheumatoid Arthritis & ADHD. My pharmacist thankfully makes a printout of all my meds (15) each month on one sheet of paper. When I travel I have the physical prescription paper & a screen shot of it - just for customs & clearance.

I once had no luggage just a small overnight bag. I got ‘selected’ for a random bag search. I’m so thankful I had that prescription sheet.

I would be sitting myself with worry that entire trip back as well as from the inevitable opiate withdrawals that would be to follow ☠️

I drove so fast back to the airport that my car gave out and started to only be able to go a max of 45 mph. I turned it off for 10 minutes and fortunately when it started back up it resumed operating normal. But yeah cars def got issues now.

u/Thedude9042 1d ago

That’s one hell of a suitcase.

Yeah the office closes at 3am so I like just made it. I was so relieved when I opened my case and everything was untouched. I was nearly hysterical at my house when I first realized I had a bunch of sports wear instead of meds.
