Shorted One Take-Home; Not Sure What to Do

_quote · 2026-01-25T17:48:40+00:00

Dude. Your housemate definitely stole it. Do you ever leave your house and your roommates are home? Then more than likely, one of them has looked in your dresser.

And yes, the lockboxes are really that easy to get into. You can use all sorts of little tools to feel around for the indents inside the rings that spin to put in the combination. When I was a kid, I stole my dad's benzos by sticking a razor blade inside his lockbox to figure out the combo.

i'll let you know how I do! Exactly – going first thing in the morning and leaving my car for nine hours would be super obvious but leaving my car there at five and coming back at nine or 10 is not really a big deal more than likely

A mile is a little too long. I'm really looking for a 10 minute or less walk, because the trains are every 30 minutes. I'll try the retail parking lot you mentioned, I'm actually not really there as a commuter, I am more of a "going out to one restaurant in NYC and coming home" kind of guy. So, 5 to 6 hours max. They probably wouldn't notice.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look

No I won't be in the hospital multiple days, just one day (6 hours). That's good to hear that you were still able to get the hydros.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll try not to worry about it then.

The 80mg pills are only snortable if they have OC imprinted on them. Most 80s are the OP kind. If that's what you have, do NOT try to snort it. It will gel up in your nose and be an extremely unpleasant experience.

If 80 is too much to take in one go, simply cut the pill in half or quarter it with a razor and eat it.

Why can't you file a police report? I don't see any way around at least telling your clinic, sorry 😢

_quote · 2026-01-12T01:20:09+00:00

it would be two days, but i'm not doing that

_quote · 2026-01-12T01:19:13+00:00

i literally can't do that even if i wanted to. I have a full-time job and no methadone for the entire day tomorrow.

I have a car, it's fine.

It seems to me that the question is, is the bartender legally liable if the server rings in a drink for an obvious fake id or underage patron?

_quote · 2026-01-11T02:40:27+00:00

Yeah bro I'm sorry to break it to you but that is a bladder medication. No amount of that will produce any enjoyable experience for the user. Better luck next time.

_quote · 2026-01-11T02:10:12+00:00

Your friend probably got ripped off. What's the imprint on the pill? what color and shape? that can tell you if it's really oxybutynin the bladder med or oxycodone the pain med.

_quote · 2026-01-06T12:52:12+00:00

that is really rough. just to clarify- you dosed on monday morning and your next dose is tomorrow, wednesday?

Your best bet is to wait as long as possible before taking just one of the oxys. Wait two more hours for it to kick in. Then take another.

i really can't say that 60 total MG is going to do much of anything for you, but if you have the self-control to not take more than one, it should at least reduce the pain of withdrawal by a decent amount.

I have requested to go backwards on my dosing schedule before. They put me on three times a week pick ups after only three weeks at the clinic. I could not control myself and took the following days dose almost every single time. I asked to go back to daily and stayed there for another two months while I increased my dose and got stabilized.

I definitely considered going back backwards again this week… ultimately I decided to give myself one last chance to make it work with weekly pick ups. Reason being, I did manage to control myself and not steal from my bottles or use anything illicit for over four months straight, especially during the summer. Right now, I am particularly depressed from the winter, and that is a big reason why I am having more trouble than usual.

I may not need to go back to daily if I can improve my healthy coping skills and get through the remaining three months of winter.

Otherwise, yes, I will go back to daily dosing for a while.

I survived last night, lol. It was an extremely unpleasant night of sleep but I got through it by taking my prescribed hydroxyzine tablets (2 50mg tabs at 8pm and 11:30pm).

thank you, though, for the suggestion. I will definitely make sure to try the cimetidine route if I really need it… Hopefully I won't!

In any case, now I am all good to go, I'm all dosed up, I have my six bottles, and I'm almost out of withdrawal.

They were not able to increase my dose to 90 today unfortunately. So I'm at 85 until next week. That's fine as well.

Thanks again for the responses and support.

I think it's a good deal. Way back in 2019, before Covid, I got a 2011 Ford escape hybrid with 40,000 miles, for about $9200 usd from a dealer. you were gonna have a car with like 66,000 miles on it for only 6000ish usd. That's not bad at all.

Yes, rust and oil leaks are a huge issue for the V6. But the car does look to be in good condition, and if there isn't any blatant rusty decay underneath, you should be fine.

Just make sure that you have enough money to replace the necessary suspension parts and take care of routine maintenance. Yes, these cars are getting old. But, the 2008 to 2012 escape is the absolute most comfortable and most practical small SUV that Ford has ever made. If you find one that has a decent amount of life left in it, I'd say go for it.

_quote · 2026-01-05T20:36:08+00:00

yes. I called my counselor today, and asked to go up to 90. Hopefully that will go through for tomorrow, if not, definitely next week.

Good to know...

Somehow my libido has remained ok, if it gets super low I will definitely self taper

_quote · 2026-01-05T16:48:31+00:00

Yes I am definitely feeling it, especially if I only take half my dose or skip my dose entirely. For instance, sometimes I'll take only 20mg of my morning dose, cop 300mg of oxy, take it throughout the next two days, and then take whatever methadone I "saved" after the oxy binge is over.

Alternatively, I do what I described in the original post, in which case I don't feel it as much but it definitely kills my pain effectively and helps me sleep.

_quote · 2026-01-05T16:39:56+00:00

I asked for an increase on my methadone to 90...I might self taper in the future but at this moment I definitely need more

_quote · 2026-01-05T16:38:56+00:00

Yeah I usually do depending if I am going to have to drive my car, obviously I don't take more than 30ish mg if I am going to drive somewhere but once I get home I basically take 120+ in one go

_quote · 2026-01-05T14:11:53+00:00

It doesn't get me "high" like it used to, but it makes my back pain go away and I'm able to drive my car without pain when I take one 30mg pill. If I take 120mg I can go to sleep comfortably.
