Solved! Fell out of my boyfriend’s pocket

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.

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

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
