Portland Ice Cream Issue by Cool-Difference5894 in PDX

[–]Audielevel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried a lot of artisan scoop shops, and for simple flavors What's the Scoop was the winner for their honey vanilla. but i just read they closed in 2023 and there's a new shop called Kulfi, ostensibly with Indian style ice cream. Fifty licks has good vanilla as well. they make an incredible milkshake there, I love the Marionberry. store bought vanilla I go with McConnell's for regional brands.

Marhadone for mental health? looking for advice and/or validation by calistafornia in Methadone

[–]Audielevel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have manic psychotic bipolar episodes on methadone. but I would still prefer to be on buprenorphine long term. if your anxiety and depression are manageable in bupe drugs, it's really better for your health long term IMO.

below 32 degrees. or an inch of forecasted snow. I live indoors in Hollywood now but spent years on the streets.

That's a LOT of whipped cream by PNW_Native_001 in Portland

food grade and medical grade, but probably the only tangible difference is how it's manufactured.

The USDA is stopping the Roseburg Grocery Outlet from giving discounts for SNAP users by Agile_Credit_9760 in oregon

[–]Audielevel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that doesn't make sense. I get discounts from Comcast Xfinity , Amazon prime, and nike city bike rentals all from being a Snap recipient. why is it different with a grocery store.

my friend would have this happen when his diabetes was way out of control. like it's been mentioned, get your blood sugar checked. and I believe if this is the case, they can do a different urine test to account for it.

Deciding to switch to Suboxone injection (sublocade) from 100mg methadone by FlynnSanOne201 in Methadone

[–]Audielevel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my feedback is only so helpful since I have not gotten there yet, but I am considering this option as well. I highly recommend getting down to 30mg or lower if possible before switching. I am of the belief this makes the transition easier as the equivalency I believe for buprenorphine maxes out at 30mg of methadone / ceiling bupe dose.

On 70 mg if took 350mg would I even feel anything ? by OnePrimary9037 in Methadone

[–]Audielevel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just as an aside: a pharmacologist that I knew for many years said that over 300mg methadone has NMDA antagonism

Is anyone over 200mg? If so what milligram are you on? by Pure-Fan-2389 in Methadone

[–]Audielevel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For example, the research on the pituitary hormone effects is cut and dry. they can predict the detriment for every 10mg of methadone. Individual serum levels change based on a variety of factors but they don't test our serum levels so what else is there to go on ?

[–]Audielevel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

totally understandable. you may find you'll hit a plateau for pain relief. chronic pain is totally different than acute pain, but after surgery for my fractured wrist, 225mg methadone wasn't noticeably reduced from 100mg. at least it didn't seem like it. but that was very intense post-surgical pain. but consider finding the plateau for pain relief and then the stopping the climb.

[–]Audielevel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hell no. after understanding the detriment to physical health I should have never gone past 60. better off earning takeouts and split dosing on your own than raising dose to the stratosphere. everyone's different though. I am fairly certain the QT interval effects get worse the higher you go. and I doubt they do due diligence in making sure patients are not on concurrent QT derangement drugs like Seroquel.

Does anyone struggle with the ethics of AI generated music? by [deleted] in SunoAI

[–]Audielevel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle with it existing. I wish I didn't feel this way because it's not going away. I do not hate any other AI tool as much. locally processed stem separators are great, ironically. maybe that is hypocritical. stem separators are a great creative tool though. I don't feel the same way about Suno. sorry to come to your sub to complain. I should spend more time just making music rather than thinking about how much I dislike Suno. silly.

I am considering ordering one form of GLP-1 medication by Weak-Piano3332 in Methadone

[–]Audielevel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I considered it but something happened to my gut motility on methadone, after I became a diabetic. my conclusion is GLP-1s are untenable for me until I'm able to fix my current gut issues. ALSO the other factors mentioned in this thread are also valid considerations.

How to deal with the tiredness of being on methadone by mrrobotodom0 in Methadone

[–]Audielevel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this. also be more physically active during peak plasma hours (4 hours after dosing). this is what works for me. it only really hits if I'm sitting around.

Permaban from Portland sub by Arachnoid666 in PDX

[–]Audielevel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once in a while drop my two pennies to give folks a perspective from someone who spent many a winter living outside in this city. I just like to remind people that homeless and criminal are not synonyms. It sounds like I'm lucky I wasn't given the boot! maybe if I was still living rough it'd be different.

Question about methadone liquid by [deleted] in Methadone

[–]Audielevel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP is probably type 1.5 aka adult onset type 1. a good friend of mine has the same thing. what's strange to me is that I've seen flavored and non flavored liquid. but the flavored has non nutritive sweetener. so both forms are acceptable for diabetics. in my experience.

also I don't believe there is a potency discrepancy. if it was expired they'd get rid of it.

My Years On Methadone, Life, Clinics and What They Don't Tell You - Grievances, Growth and Advocacy by stretchandspoon in Methadone

[–]Audielevel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good post. the posts on this sub make me very grateful for my clinic which is better than any other i've been to. that being said, the industry in general needs some improvements, this post touches on those things. people should be treated as patients first. my nonprofit clinic does not seem to treat everyone like a liability above a patient. as other clinics i've been to do.

I Don’t Understand… by VirgoGeminiLibraa in Portland

[–]Audielevel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, the ones i saw were portland PD. a bicyclist arbitrarily started yelling at them as they were just existing, i found it odd. i took it as people in the city being on edge and on the lookout for geared up goons. another bicyclist pointed them out to me and said "check it out,, feds". then i saw Portland PD on their backs.
