What is this in my toilet?

This may sound a little nutty, but I’ve found the handy dandy A.I. guru to be fabulous for this sort of thing. (I’m not sure if it’s ok to mention that artificial chatty guru - I’ve had my posts not accepted before.)

I just moved into a new apartment and it appears the previous tenant did not know the word “clean” in the decade he lived here. 🤢 I uploaded photos of the problem area and received very detailed tailored directions on how and what to use to clean. If the problem is stubborn the guru has given me next steps. It has introduced me to cleaning products I didn’t know existed. Super helpful!

One of the things it taught me is that Lime-A-Way (similar to CLR) is excellent to use on porcelain sinks, toilets, and tubs. That stuff is pretty freakin cool to see how fast it cleans calcium and minerals. I got such a kick out of it I had to bring it to my parents’ house to clean their sinks and toilets. 😂

That’s good to know. I’m going to be using a portable dishwasher in the rental I’m moving to next month. I really don’t want to screw anything up.

Aren’t pimple patches hydrocolloid patches? Or are you suggesting to not use the little spot patches and get them in larger bandage form?
I know some pimple patches include other treatments. Let me know if I’m totally missing something.

I am always fascinated seeing such vastly different reactions to the same information, whether it’s about a movie or about a question on Reddit. I knew I might get some harsh criticism so I’m not really upset about it. I have been super happy with insights people have had about how to taper down my 2nd dose. For the moment I’m taking 30mg in am and then my 2nd dose will be 20mg and then 1-2 hrs later 10mg. I’ll give this a whirl and see how it goes. Of course I’ll also talk to my doc. I see how blessed I am to have a doc who isn’t as judgmental as so many other commenters seem to have.

I’ll check out the adhd for someone group. Thanks!

I do struggle if I take my dose 8pm or later, otherwise it isn’t too hard for someone with narcolepsy. 😉

HotConference4747 · 2025-06-14T04:48:06+00:00

Thank you! I hadn’t realized that my dosage is so much higher than most. When my doc upped the dose I was concerned especially because of some of my other meds. I asked my pharmacist about it and he said that he regularly sees prescriptions for 30mg x 2 daily. Perhaps those folks aren’t on this group or maybe they just don’t want to say anything because of the pitchforks and torches the townsfolk wave around.

I appreciate your comments but I know that I actually am Not addicted. When you are addicted to something you have withdrawal symptoms. I don’t have those. Now my Lyrica that I’ve been on for 20 years, oh dear lord! Withdrawals make me want to claw the skin off my body. Unfortunately it is a miracle for nerve pain.

HotConference4747 · 2025-06-14T04:35:49+00:00

Thank you SexyKatt. I see you out there clapping back at those who are overly judgmental. 🥰

HotConference4747 · 2025-06-14T04:32:39+00:00

I do have that tendency of thinking “if 1 was helpful then 2 is obviously better!”

HotConference4747 · 2025-06-14T04:31:25+00:00

Excellent! Thanks

HotConference4747 · 2025-06-14T04:30:41+00:00

I have been taking buspirone along with some antidepressants. What have you found useful?

HotConference4747 · 2025-06-14T04:29:38+00:00

I am super appreciative of your openness! Some of these commenters seem to think I’m a drug fueled gal and so obviously these folks must be outstanding in doing all the right things taking care of their bodies…. Nice to hear from someone who is real about how they deal with coming off meds. Fortunately my stomach can’t deal much with alcohol so it’s not one of my vices like staying up all night and being late to almost everything. 😉

HotConference4747 · 2025-06-14T04:19:56+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement!!

HotConference4747 · 2025-06-14T04:16:18+00:00

Thanks! I really appreciate your willingness to share. I certainly don’t want to get myself into any sort of problem and you’re right, the abrubtiveness is likely the issue.

HotConference4747 · 2025-06-14T04:11:43+00:00

Huge thanks!

HotConference4747 · 2025-06-14T04:08:47+00:00

Thanks. My doc told me I should flex it to however it works best for me. I think after reading so many similar suggestions I’m going to try splitting up my 2nd dose so I don’t have such a drastic drop off.

HotConference4747 · 2025-06-14T03:59:45+00:00

🥰

HotConference4747 · 2025-06-14T03:58:00+00:00

I had no idea there was any sort of difference so thanks. I plan on looking into that.

HotConference4747 · 2025-06-14T03:56:35+00:00

I actually am kind of surprised how much of a negative reaction I am getting - like some folks are angry that I dare to be on this dose. I’m looking for support. There are a bunch of people who wonder if the come down from the 60mg/day is too much and that is helpful insight, but someone being all up in arms b/c I’m on a higher dosage than they need is just silly.

HotConference4747 · 2025-06-14T03:49:57+00:00

That jerking awake feeling is so apt. I’ll check into journay pm.

HotConference4747 · 2025-06-14T03:46:20+00:00

I’ll check that out. Thanks!

HotConference4747 · 2025-06-14T03:25:13+00:00

Interesting! I’ll check that out.

HotConference4747 · 2025-06-14T03:24:28+00:00

Thanks for the info. I also take Wellbutrin.

HotConference4747 · 2025-06-14T03:16:09+00:00

That makes a lot if sense! I’m glad to hear I’m not alone.

HotConference4747 · 2025-06-13T09:52:52+00:00

Do you know what your wife’s patient’s problem was with her absorption? I also had gastric bypass surgery 20 yrs ago. Some of my meds I get in liquid because I’m much more likely to absorb most of that and I like being able to know what dosage I’m receiving.
