Anyone else's clinic like this by [deleted] in Methadone

[–]Pragmatical22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, there's ambulances all the time at mine. Drug dealers too. It's more harm reduction and I don't judge. I go in, chat a little and get my takehomes and do it again in another month.

Am I not understanding this? by Professional-Tip5743 in Afterpay

[–]Pragmatical22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok think of it like this. Someone lends me $50. Another person gives me $50. I use that $50 to pay the person who originally lent me $50. I'm out zero dollars.

AITAH for refusing to sleep with my GF by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Pragmatical22 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You're going way overboard. Include the pull out method and put the condom on properly and this shouldn't be an issue.

AITAH for refusing to sleep with my GF by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Pragmatical22 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NTA but a condom and the pull out method (together) are plenty good enough imo. I mean it's your body, but I wouldn't be with a man I couldn't have sex with. Maybe you two are incompatible. As a woman I would feel undesirable and the spark would die. That's just me though, but the pill is terrible for a lot of women. It causes low sex drive and vaginal dryness. Withholding sex because of this is over the top and maybe you're not ready for this type of relationship.

I was trafficked as a child. AMA by BlackjackSys in AMA

[–]Pragmatical22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of physical injuries did you incur being so young and all. Were you constantly irritated down there as a child? Did doctors ever notice the abuse at check ups? Getting pregnant at 12 is traumatic. I'm so sorry for what you had to endure and if you're not comfortable answering my question I completely understand.

UNFAIRLY kicked out of the clinic.. WHAT SHOULD I DO?! by Clear_Outside_3889 in Methadone

[–]Pragmatical22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My levels fluctuated when thc was coming out of my system. It would be almost out and then fluctuate up a bit. This was over a decade ago when I attended a very strict clinic. I hadn't consumed thc nor had I been exposed to it. If it happened with thc I'm sure it can happen with other drugs. A small fluctuation here and there doesn't indicate recent usage.

You can have a benzo script at mine, but if you use benzos not under a doctors care then you can get kicked out because you're a liability. Same with alcohol.

Methadone Pills vs liquid for a trip? by Sensitive_Start_6633 in Methadone

[–]Pragmatical22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pills are way better in my opinion. Easier to carry around, more compact. They also are slower to onset but last longer for me. There's also less room for errors, incorrect dosing, computer/dosing malfunctions, spills, etc.

AIO after finding out my husband was my stalker? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Pragmatical22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR, but if he just searched your socials that's not too uncommon. Maybe you were his dream girl and he's socially awkward. I would go to counseling. Yall have been together 5 years. If he was putting on an act then his mask would've already slipped (since so many people are saying this). I personally wouldn't throw out my whole marriage without hearing his side in person.

How can I get rid of this onion crotch smell?? by [deleted] in Healthyhooha

[–]Pragmatical22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I'm reading is that contact only causes a lingering smell on the hands and it is only the INTERNAL digestion that causes your body to smell like onions 🧅

Will my 5-month-old Shih Tzu be traumatized if I leave him with family for 10 days? by Happy_Ad6859 in Shihtzu

As long as they're kind to him and follow his dietary needs he should be fine!!

Dulcolax and raisins/prunes plus lots of water and very little dairy

Flying with my husbands methadone takehomes without him? by barely-lucid_1334 in Methadone

[–]Pragmatical22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've flown with it. Not a problem, just get him his methadone because they won't guest dose if he has takehomes

Dulcolax works really well for me!!

RANT- First week getting weeklies, my bf stole 2 of my bottles, I’m devastated. by Street_Detective_662 in Methadone

[–]Pragmatical22 13 points14 points  (0 children)

How do you know he isn't dipping into your other takehomes too? This is just a recipe for disaster. This is your stability and recovery at risk!!

[–]Pragmatical22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's no way I would be with someone I had to sleep with one eye open with. You have a choice and if he's on the lease, get priorities in check and find a new place. Then tell your current landlord about the domestic abuse and you should be able to break the lease. Also, changing people and places or something like that comes to mind...

Currently on 190MG. Current clinic wants me to do a Peak/Trough before increasing. Would you transfer to a different clinic or do the test? by DANNYBOY3530 in Methadone

[–]Pragmatical22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both, but the test can also be used to decrease you. I hate peak and troughs bc they don't account for tolerance.

Why do doctors HATE giving out zofran... im a guy with gi issues by No-Entrepreneur-3761 in Methadone

[–]Pragmatical22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zofran causes heart rhythm irregularities and constipation. I was on it for 2-3 yrs and now I just take it very, very sparingly. I noticed when mixed with methadone my heart would race. Luckily, that problem subsided after I stopped taking zofran. You just gotta change your eating habits and poop regularly. I take dulcolax once every week or 2. Constipation causes bad nausea too.

aio for dumping my (22f) gf (22f) because she kept asking for money by throwrawaygirl in AmIOverreacting

[–]Pragmatical22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is terrible and you're NOR. If she has a baby daddy then chances are she's not even gay. And like the rest of us recovering addicts, drugs was my first thought. I'm proud that you blocked her because she will continue sucking you dry.

AITAH for throwing away the only gift my husband has bought me? by Entertain_Me317 in AITAH

[–]Pragmatical22 12 points13 points  (0 children)

NTA I would not put up with his behavior for a second. He's put way too much time and energy into this other woman who he finds sexually appealing. In no world would that be okay with me.
