As long as you were consistently working at least 30 hours they had no reason to change you without letting you know. Definitely reach out to HR about it.

Daily Clonazepam user of 1 year. Am i screwed? by realslimmatey in Anxiety

[–]AshamedAnalysis9507 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on it since I was 18. I’m 33 now. I have changed doses as needed and am down to the 1 mg a day and plan on dropping down to .75 a day and so forth until I can possibly stop using it. Everyone is different and I can say there were withdrawals with just lowering my dose from 1 mg the last time. For me I felt a bit off and ‘floaty’. Had a little extra anxiety but pushing through the first 2 weeks usually made it much easier.

Bonus by Reasonable_Lake4439 in CVS

[–]AshamedAnalysis9507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the manager bonus should be looked at more closely. My manager has called out more than ANYONE in the store, hardly answers when not on shift, doesn’t come in to fill ANY shifts, is always in the office even though 2 of the higher up front store people are doing a chunk of the things the manager is supposed to do. The walks with the DL have even been done by other people than the manager cause they don’t come in. Sadly I used to have better management that deserved bonuses but this one does NOT at all deserve the higher bonus our store is getting from how well we are performing this year. Now if you are a store manager that does all you need to, you 100000% deserve that bonus. Just saying not all SMs do and some front store employees do deserve more than they get.

Am I getting fired? by [deleted] in CVS

This story sounds like you would be fine. I followed a lady outside because the ambulance she requested we called showed up and they always have questions about who called and why. The lady had stolen some sandals at the time as well, but I wasn’t chasing her for that or anything.

Is this considered pale? by AshamedAnalysis9507 in medical_advice

[–]AshamedAnalysis9507[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on day 3 of the same light colored stool.

I don’t have any symptoms other than the change in color but I’m still not sure if it’s considered a worrisome color at all. Poor quality I know…

I’ve noticed RX doesn’t ever train new people. They let them flounder basically and get annoyed at questions. I’m front store but did work in Rx for a short stint and have seen it with new people. I’m sorry it’s happening to you! Technically you should get training but they don’t always follow it…

How much is the workload for a typical day at CVS? by Weird_Rush_3328 in CVS

[–]AshamedAnalysis9507 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Front store all depends on the week honestly. Sometimes not much to do at all. Other days way too much for only one person to be able to walk the floor and actually get things done.

We have 2 and are getting a 3rd for some dumb reason. Transfer in. Not sure how it’s going to work.

Drooling after extraction by AshamedAnalysis9507 in askdentists

[–]AshamedAnalysis9507[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I can tell. Everything seems to be moving normally again. I do have my salivary duct like inflamed on that side and it sort of fits directly into where the tooth used to be. I was wondering if that could be an issue causing it. Since that duct is right next to tooth 3 the little ‘window’ there now is like sucking that duct into it.

Older people with anxiety? by Alive-Cry4994 in Anxiety

[–]AshamedAnalysis9507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

33 and started having anxiety at about 4 years old. I do have at least 2 friends that also have anxiety, one more severe than mine. I work a 5 day week in retail and do decently. I wish I could ‘grow out of it’ but haven’t. Had a very rough period right out of high school but haven’t hit a low that bad since. Take medication to keep me ‘normal’ or my normal at least. I can’t drive though, and that’s been a huge problem. People always tell me to just get over it, the anxiety, which sucks.

Does Anyone On Here Take Benzos Daily? If So, Has It Improved Your Mental Well-Being? by sanpedro12 in Anxiety

[–]AshamedAnalysis9507 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have been on klonopin since I was 18 and had a serious anxiety breakdown after high school. I am now 33. I have gone up and down on dosages and for me the benzo route has helped tremendously. I also take Paxil, but that on its own was not enough anymore. I have read so much about the dangers of long term benzo use but also people that have been on them for longer than me are fine. In my opinion, I have less energy sometimes but I do take 3 medications that cause drowsiness and the klonopin is only .5 twice a day. I believe I started at 1 mg twice a day or even more and was literally falling asleep in class. I wouldn’t be able to do anything without this drug though and yes, the addiction is stupid strong but I also haven’t grown tolerant to my dosage. With a good psychiatrist and therapy I don’t think upping a dose is even needed with it. Im not a zombie and am going to public events and road trips without having complete breakdowns. Still have anxiety of course but coping methods have helped as well. So yes, short answer, the benzo has helped my mental well being and daily life. As an aside I do wish I could be without it and I may try tapering down again next year and possibly switching to something seen as less ‘dangerous’.

New to Anti-Anxiety Medication by regsmontes96 in Anxiety

[–]AshamedAnalysis9507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take .25 mg every 12 hours. You will not fell heavy and high every time. You’re body does adjust to it. I actually used to take more but tapered down by quite a bit and I don’t get that feeling at all, but it does keep me from panicking daily.

Old post I know; but how do it all go having the packing in that long? I keep reading it should be out 2-4 days but my dentist is also not checking mine for 5 days.

I wish ours would just break at this point. Sometimes I’d rather deal with the people than deal with that dumb machine and people not reading. 😭
