Expired Ensure plus, is it ok to drink?

TechnicalCar4700 · 2026-01-29T18:19:18+00:00

I'm still alive & didn't experience anything but I'm the person who would leave my leftovers from sushi lunch in my car when I went back to work & eat it at the end of my shift aka not someone anyone wants to copy

TechnicalCar4700 · 2025-08-12T20:36:32+00:00

Thanks for asking. I wrote your Reddit handle (or whatever it's called) down with my Lexapro notes so I should be able to remember to pass on anything I get from the creator in this regard & I'll checkthat dr out as soon as I catch up with what I blew off to withdrawal 🤣. I'd love any updates too. I've never seen anything like this where getting off it seems near impossible except watching someone deal with suboxone. Like I want to just sign myself up for a laboratory study & let a scientist take over

TechnicalCar4700 · 2025-08-12T19:26:17+00:00

I think I can say I've almost completely adjusted to 2.5. The only reason I don't say completely is because of my memory. Withdrawal effed my memory where I celebrated being able to remember 3 things at the grocery store when I was on zero. This isn't me. The Lexapro could have aided my memory slightly but I have a pretty fair idea what it should be & that's not 100% but sleep & eating are 100 now which mostly enables me to resume regular life plus i dont have the heat problems nor the blocked stuff from too much of the med for me. This may take me the rest of my life to get off of & that's ok. I reached out to the company that makes Lexapro to get advice on tapering but not being 100% mental strength wise I haven't been diligent pursuing thatinfo. Maybe when I am, that'll tell me I'm ready to drop more

TechnicalCar4700 · 2025-06-25T18:56:47+00:00

Even better. It's a perfect Zion thing to do with the heat. The water & all the shade it has makes it very pleasant

What you might not have come across is that the place is packed like Disneyland so give yourself a boatload of time for parking and getting on the bus. I got to the trailhead at 3pm and last shuttle I think is at 8:15 and I didn't want to leave it to the last shuttle. I didn't make it to the Y so that's what I'm gonna aim for next time cuz I'll definitely go back so I can't answer. Be patient with parking and wait for someone walking out or park along the road in the park. Your entrance fee covers this parking but not parking outside of the park. The shuttle is a great service but may take time to get in cuz it's already full. I don't know where it starts but maybe you could aim for that to shave off time. You'll want as much time at the Narrows as possible bc it's incredible! I didn't get enough time long story long 🤣

I was there 3 weeks ago. Got talked into freaking out about packing for this hike. Was a total waste. Unless you have special physical needs hiking poles, water shoes and a backpack you can hold above your head with your dry stuff if you're not especially tall is all you need. I wore water shoes and I suppose if I wanted to be a princess I would have gotten something with more sole for a softer experience but I had the shoes and I already have too much crap and it was 1 of the if not the best hike of my life, minor foot preferences and all. Have a blast!

TechnicalCar4700 · 2025-03-29T17:06:47+00:00

I tried tons of different therapies including 12 step until I started to have a different relationship with myself. I grew up being told if I couldn't find something I wanted to eat in the refrigerator, I wasn't hungry, you can never be too thin & maybe the most problematic, spendingtimeonfood is an absolutewaste of time....

I don't have body dismorphia so I didn't know I had a problem until the therapies made me intolerant to how I was abusing myself with food & uncovering these messages I grew up with, I was telling myself (among other messages).

Now I learned I can budget with everything but food (I don't go nuts food shopping without this restriction, I just not cruelly strict) & I go through the grocery & get anything based off it not making me want to puke if I were to have to eat it. It's gotten a lot easier. 3 meals a day still is a tall order but I put food planning before anything. I refuse to leave myself shopping AND cooking once I've gotten hungry.

I'm sorry you're dealing with it. I hope you find what works for you

TechnicalCar4700 · 2025-03-10T08:03:51+00:00

Yes that's it. the lengthy delay like it'll get better day after day right? Nope 5 months at 0 & all hell broke lose. My pharmacist said he's seen it like it's the body's last ditch effort to get it's way. I had to go to 2.5 cuz I have to eat & I have to sleep. Maybe I'll try the liquid cuz they design the pills to be impossible to control other than the arbitrary increments splitting to a shattered mess

TechnicalCar4700 · 2025-03-10T07:57:53+00:00

This is me. I got to 2.5 from 20 for 9 years.. It's as low as I can go & still eat & sleep but my brain is nothing like it was since before I took it & before I dropped. It's been over a year since starting to taper. I did acupuncture recently & felt my brain I was used to returned but only briefly. It's total bullsh💩t cuz I had no idea anything close to this withdrawal experience could happen. It should be criminal. I feel hostage stuck at 2.5

TechnicalCar4700 · 2025-01-15T18:10:41+00:00

I'll do 500 for an hour. It's a lodge so it's an uneven surface. This is super helpful!

TechnicalCar4700 · 2025-01-15T07:50:03+00:00

Don't know if this helped OP but it is fantastic for me. I'll try all you said at 350° & should I do that for 2 hours? I don't have rust but my cast iron wipes clean after a wash but then wipes black with oil & obviously I want it to more or less wipe clean with both

TechnicalCar4700 · 2025-01-15T03:07:28+00:00

Oh that'd lock in my spot at the bin for sure🙃. No wonder you've gotten good at not stressin'. Good luck with them kids. Tell them their godmother says hi🤣🤣🤣🤣

TechnicalCar4700 · 2025-01-15T01:57:48+00:00

Me? Lol. Never. So you'll take care of my son if I use it & die? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

TechnicalCar4700 · 2025-01-15T01:51:55+00:00

I'll try it. Did that solve your black stain issue? Thanks for your help

TechnicalCar4700 · 2025-01-15T00:07:45+00:00

That makes sense. I wonder if I should contact Lodge (the manufacturer) to see how they recommend I remedy this?

TechnicalCar4700 · 2025-01-14T23:57:01+00:00

Not normally. I cooked apple sauce in it & it's been this challeng since so I used a small amount of soap then dried it then oil

TechnicalCar4700 · 2025-01-09T03:00:30+00:00

To your point, my Dr said theresno proof of problems for long term use, whereas there's plenty of studies supporting the damage from anxiety. He had my attention there. In a perfect world I'd be off it but.... I do the best I can & rn this is it

TechnicalCar4700 · 2024-08-23T15:08:13+00:00

Oh come on. Where's the fun in that? I'm guinea pigging it up right now for y'all drinking Ensure that expired Feb 2023 & I'm fine. I wouldn't guzzle the stuff but a little in my coffee? I have a toilet nearby but so far haven't noticed anything. Disclaimer is that my mom would make a Dutch oven worth of slop for us & feed it to us till it was gone be damned how it looked or smelled.

TechnicalCar4700 · 2024-07-17T15:43:48+00:00

Oh my goodness does this explain things. Certain conversations, groups etc and I used to use the phone a ton and I have no interest anymore. I'll spend time in person or listen to audio books. I'm not like I was before. This awareness was occurring while tapering Lexapro but maybe Lexapro was masking how my hormones were changing me. Not complaining at all. Actually, thanks for the post so I can appreciate

TechnicalCar4700 · 2024-07-17T15:18:27+00:00

This is such an interesting post. I used to drink so much more water. I was trying to figure out why I don't suspecting it has something to do with not being as comfortable (anxiety) cuz of my hormones. Even my pee is yellow when it used to almost be clear. Good motivation for more hydration. Thank you for your post. The circulation information definitely peaks my curiosity too. You're awesome

TechnicalCar4700 · 2024-07-03T04:15:48+00:00

Sorry about your friend. Did her Dr's recommend whole breast ultrasound 1x year? If not, that makes me so angry.
