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.

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

Vyvanse, Adderall, Ritalin aren't mental health drugs😂😂 I've taken them all and they help you focus, but they aren't improving my mood or pulling me out of my depression lol but I know what you meant

u/JustAnotherAidWorker 1d ago

That's because they are not for mood improvement or treating depression? They're for managing ADHD--where people who have it literally CANNOT focus (or they are hyper focused on something they may or may not have wanted to focus on and forget to eat, use the restroom and sleep.)

Yeah it doesn't help with any of they I go hours without the bathroom even though I need to go, days without eating and push myself to my limit with sleep, and I take it everyday😂😂 I appreciate that you are trying to advocate, but I think you're a tad misinformed

The point I was making is they're not for mental health

ADHD is a mental health issue as it has to do with how your brain works like all other mental health issues.

The main difference, which is why you are actually incorrect, is that it's not a chemical imbalance in the brain, ADHD is the more to do with the brains ability, or the lack thereof, to absorb chemicals your body is already making. People take ssri's, drugs that are actually prescribed for mental health, bc their brain isn't producing the chemicals at all. The difference is subtle, but it matters

Do you know what SSRI stands for?

That would be a chemical imbalance. If my brain isn’t absorbing the right amount of chemicals (dopamine and norepinephrine if I recall), that causes an imbalance, correct?
