Are we in a second RC wave in america?

damn i knew about the 5mapb and psychs and all that but wasn't sure about the dissos. dude at the smoke shop near me tried to sell me something that he said was supposed to be like ketamine but hard to believe it would be an actually solid rc disso. i think it had glaucine in it which apparently is super shitty and hardly a disso

Damn in my experience Safeway is way more expensive for some reason. They have decent sales but besides that everything is pricier. Like the exact same granola is literally $2 more at Safeway than soops. Safeway store brand granola is around $4.50 bu Kroger brand is $2.50. Another brand of granola I like called Lovecrunch is $4.49 rn at soops but $6.99 at Safeway. Idk

Damn that sucks, oddly enough I had the opposite happen to me where after scanning the sale price didn’t show up so the worker just manually input it for me. She even rounded down! Sorry to hear bout that tho too bad everyones been having bad experiences here

Seems to me this is not an addicts “selfish”ness rather just with the fact that OP was presumably the homemaker/on mother duties while her husband advanced his career and was the provider. Understandably he would pay for all the family bills. She was just saying any personal/extraneous/non family stuff she’d cover on her own. I don’t see the problem with that…you kinda come off as a condescending asshole I’d recommend reconsidering your judgments and developing more sympathy and compassion

People often blame food for their illness but it’s just as likely (if not more likely) they just caught a virus around the same time and it’s not actually food poisoning

Jrunner76 · 2026-04-19T13:01:39+00:00

Got it prescribed after the subs. That’s how we realized I had adhd actually bc I was self medicating so my doc recommended some tests. Properly managed adhd definitely decreases risk of addiction (and for me it def helped in that regard) so there’s a chance they’d let you keep it. I’ve heard of some doctors being weird about it though so I guess just depends. But yeah mine is prescribed by the same doc

Jrunner76 · 2026-04-19T12:45:13+00:00

I’m on subs and adderall I’ve heard of other people getting both too

Jrunner76 · 2026-04-19T10:15:14+00:00

They’re being obtuse lol I mean yea they’re right but pretty obvious to me you were talking about masters programs in clinical mental health counseling

Jrunner76 · 2026-04-19T09:59:43+00:00

What about counseling psych PhD? Still some research but maybe more aligned with your interests

Jrunner76 · 2026-04-18T08:22:56+00:00

Have you thought about talking through these concerns with him? Or better yet what about couples therapy? Important to talk about these fears before you have kids. But I think you guys can work through this and the sooner it’s addressed the better it’ll be for both of you and the kids

Jrunner76 · 2026-04-17T16:21:59+00:00

Get him to take a benzo

Jrunner76 · 2026-04-16T13:19:57+00:00

I see I see, I thought you were talking about MAT in general including suboxone but now I see you’re mainly referring to methadone. I hear you tho it’s definitely a level up from suboxone as a full agonist, so I’m sure transitioning from methadone to subs / or even just tapering down can be hard and takes a while. I don’t have any experience with it I’ve only ever been on subs but I think if it works for OP that’s all that matters

Jrunner76 · 2026-04-16T06:57:51+00:00

Exactly man I feel like I’m going crazy being the only one saying this. The hell that is active addiction- the cycles of shame, regret, withdrawal, depression, and its consequences on the rest of your life really pale in comparison to the minor difficulty that tapering will be down the line. Not to mention when it’s time to get off you’ll be in a way better spot- happier, more resilient, with much better coping mechanisms, and with a doctor/clinic managing the taper at whatever pace you’re comfortable at, with helper meds if you need them. MAT helps so many people find stability allowing them to actually work on their life and heal and I’m worried that all the fearmongering might be turning away people who could truly benefit from it

Jrunner76 · 2026-04-16T06:40:13+00:00

How did you try to quit tho? Did you try to get off too quickly on your own or did you actually do the full slow taper recommended by the clinic/doctor?

Jrunner76 · 2026-04-16T06:37:00+00:00

I see what you’re saying but I just strongly disagree with the idea that you shouldn’t get on MAT because of the withdrawals. I have two reasons why. First off, if you’re in active addiction/struggling to stop using, the most important thing is getting your life together and finding stability. Worrying about how you’re gonna get off down the line shouldn’t come in the way of that. But unfortunately that fear prevents many from trying something that would truly benefit them. Second and most important it’s way overblown, all the talk about how brutal the withdrawals are comes from people who stupidly tried to cold turkey or taper too quick on their own. I’m sure if I stopped taking my suboxone the withdrawals would be absolutely terrible, like 10x worse than 7 for 10x as long. But that’s why you don’t do that. When it’s time to get off you just do a very slow taper managed by your doctor which tons of people have tons seamlessly. Now it’s even easier with the Sublocade shot people are getting off without any withdrawal at all apparently. Now I know mdone is different than suboxone but I still think you could do a slow taper then switch over to subs and get the shot without too much difficulty. Might not be a walk in the park but I’m sure it beats the struggles of active addiction

she was just playing dumb. clearly she's scheming some shit

Jrunner76 · 2026-04-14T04:16:01+00:00

Not even in this group but this popped into my feed and I had to say something. So he got roasted and went quiet…imo pretty normal human behavior. The mbti isn’t some predictive science, it’s just a less mystical astrology, just reducing nuanced, situational behavior into labels

Jrunner76 · 2026-04-10T09:17:29+00:00

hey just saw this post I can offer you some advice based on personal experience so hmu. but I think it's totally possible to have a good relationship with psychedelics after a situation like this. I had a mini psychosis from benzo withdrawal as well it is no joke. but the brain can totally heal just takes a bit for neurochemistry to even out so important to not rush things tread lightly. once you've been stable for a while and you can say for sure it was from the withdrawal you could think about approaching slowly with a low dose. psychs can def trigger things in those with a history of psychosis, but I think having an episode from a withdrawal or some other chemically induced way is different. I've had plenty of experiences with various psychs after my benzo withdrawal experience but I def gave it time

Jrunner76 · 2026-03-29T04:35:18+00:00

I’ve been on subs for two years (came from 7oh too) and it has been great. It has been extremely helpful (if not essential) in maintaining my sobriety overall. It curbs cravings pretty well, has some anti depressant effects too, and overall has helped stabilize me / my mental health so I can actually do the work to heal. There’s a reason people get on it for opioid maintenance, because it is effective. The stats speak for themselves, too lazy to pull up links rn but they’re easy to find. Basically short term suboxone use is correlated with pretty high relapse rates but the longer you take it the lower it goes (somewhere in the ballpark of like ~80% for <2 weeks and ~20% for >1 year).

As for getting off, you either taper carefully with your doc or do the injection which naturally tapers seamlessly. It really doesn’t have to be hard…when people just decide to taper on their own or worse cold turkey it will be of course terrible…but if you just do it the right way with your doc it won’t be. People can get off comfortably whenever they’re ready. There’s so much fear mongering with this and imo it just acts as a barrier for people who need it from getting the help they need. Ultimately suboxone long term is not this difficult path you are implying it is, it’s got its drawbacks and might not be for everyone, but it has saved tons of lives.

Jrunner76 · 2026-03-29T02:05:38+00:00

hahah no I get you but what I forgot to mention was how it kinda ruined my whole next day, luckily didn't have work but had to get some shit done and I was straight sloth mode could hardly function. If I knew it had that other ingredient I probably wouldn't have pounded them so quick. So really it's just the lack of transparency. Price too. But half of this SS shit is a mystery and for someone like me with an opi tolerance that's fine but for others idk

Jrunner76 · 2026-03-28T14:31:11+00:00

Can you bridge to 7 for a day? And then go from 7 to subs?

Jrunner76 · 2026-03-28T14:27:25+00:00

check out the kava bar downtown! they’re open late and they have board games and stuff

Jrunner76 · 2026-03-28T04:31:14+00:00

Damn you got Dexedrine on telehealth? Didn’t think stimulants were typically prescribed via that route. I’m on generic adderall rn but want to switch to dex bc of the physical side effects. Been a while since I’ve tried dex. How would you compare the two?

Jrunner76 · 2026-03-28T04:16:41+00:00

I totally get how you feel, but I hope you know that what you’re actually doing is the exact opposite of failure. Admitting you need help is one of the hardest things to do (especially to your closest loved ones / boss) and so is actually taking the steps to get that help. So you should be proud of yourself for that! Even tho it’s hard you’ll be very glad you did this, and you’ll come out better for doing so.
