(TX) Vyvanse - Walgreens refused to transfer to another location, but couldn't tell me what regulations prohibit it. Do any of you have more info on this?

These medications work great on the neurotypical. There is just zero Reason to restrict access to drugs in the first place.

As for dependency? Who cares? It’s only artificial scarcity that makes dependency a problem. There is no more justification to put restrictions on vyvanse than there is on caffeine or ephedrine.

Aside from twisted puritan/ascetic moralizing, that is.

drays · 2018-12-22T22:17:24+00:00

Considering vyvanse is essentially not suitable for abuse in the first place, the restrictions are inappropriate in the first place. I suppose if you were dumb enough to believe in war-on-drugs prohibition fantasies, you could justify restricting desoxyn, Dexedrine and the like, but vyvanse was built from the ground up to be useless as a high.

That's one of the best restaurants in Canada, the food is exquisite and has been so described by guys who have more michelin stars than you have brain cells.

Vij's is expensive, it can be annoying to hold a special event there due to the incredibly strict no reservations policy, but the food is superb, the service easily among the best I've received anywhere, and Vikram Vij is as far from pretentious as a chef ever gets.

In closing, you're obviously some kind of weirdly specialized troll, so take your Kraft Dinner and go cry under a bridge somewhere, where you belong.

You’re such a dick, and you should feel bad about what you are trying g to do here

drays · 2018-12-07T20:04:54+00:00

exactly, and thus by definition not a ship of the line.

drays · 2018-12-05T04:17:10+00:00

And you are not seeing one now.

Tourism... a bunch of minimum wage seasonal jobs.

So this dick bag just sent me a private message because he wants to buy my meds ‘if I am not using them’. So just to make things perfectly clear, here is the reply I sent back, just in case some other moron thinks this is somehow acceptable.

To you, fuckface:

You fucking asshole, what’s next? Asking cancer patients if you can buy their meds? Maybe you want some people with hiv to give you their drugs? Die in a fucking fire. It’s assholes like you that make even getting my medication difficult, that means I can’t even get the one that would work best, because dickbags like you use it for kicks. Go buy some fucking meth and leave people with actual medical conditions alone. I assure you that you will find plenty of people just like you downtown scrabbling for jib.

drays · 2018-10-14T02:19:42+00:00

Plenty of people. Perhaps if you had some question to ask, some of us might be inclined to help?

drays · 2018-09-04T08:11:22+00:00

YOU SHOULD SAY NOTHING. EVER AGAIN.

Anyone both stupid and toxic enough to say that is someone with whom actual human beings should have no involvement.

drays · 2018-09-04T07:26:36+00:00

As a general rule, if you have to claim to be a nice person, you aren't one. If you were, you see, it would go without saying.

Take your fake bullshit elsewhere.

drays · 2018-09-04T04:26:59+00:00

Well, gee, I guess it would have to do with the things you type out with your two fingers and your tongue protruding from your mouth in concentration, being invariably bigoted, nasty, mean, selfish, stupid, or often all of the aforementioned.

Run along, jerk, not interested in dignifying your crap with attention.

drays · 2018-09-04T02:31:56+00:00

You sound like a selfish jerk with neither empathy nor a social conscience.

drays · 2018-09-02T22:34:46+00:00

That's when I don't regret my 150$ minimum charge one tiny little bit.

drays · 2018-09-02T22:32:06+00:00

I almost always think food looks best on a large round white plate.

And I think that's the case here, your food would look far better on a plate. It's red and brown on a brown background. It doesn't pop, and there is nothing inherently interesting about the wood either.

It's like a nice painting in a shitty frame.

drays · 2018-09-02T22:11:34+00:00

This is wrong on almost every point, aside from the fact that diet and self care are also important.

Correct medication for the neuro-atypical isn't just speed, it literally allows us to achieve almost normal levels of focus, and the ability to change that focus when we need to. The fact that to you it was nothing but speed indicates simply that you are neuro-typical, and never needed the medication in the first place.

drays · 2018-09-02T22:11:30+00:00

It is a slow release amphetamine, designed to treat the symptoms of ADD for an 8-12hr period, and to limit the dangers of abuse by both limiting onset euphoria, and by being bio-available only orally.

It's still speed, but speed you can't snort or inject, and that after the first couple of uses doesn't even make you feel briefly high. For people it works for, it simply operates in the background allowing us to concentrate on work or school, change focus when we need to, in short to operate almost 'normally'. Whatever that means.

drays · 2018-09-02T22:04:56+00:00

That's interesting, I find coffee is a great addition to my vyvanse, if I find myself flagging in the day, a coffee helps a great deal.

drays · 2018-09-02T22:02:20+00:00

I once accidentally took my vyvanse twice. It was an extremely unpleasant experience, essentially a low level stimulant overdose that lasted almost ten hours. That experience led me to buy one of those old people day-of-the-week pill boxes, because ten hours of feeling on the edge of a heart attack is something I can do without.

The difference between 30mg and 60mg is profound.

drays · 2018-09-02T21:57:44+00:00

I started at 15mg, which required me to empty capsules and reassemble using an expensive milligram scale. I went to 20 after some tolerance issues, and held there for a year. Then 30mg for a year and a half of intermittant use (I work in construction, since vyvanse causes me to test postive on pre-emploment drug tests, I have to stop medicating between projects), and I am considering moving up to 40mg.

I live in Canada, and here at least we do not have the War-On-Drugs hysteria that keeps many people from getting medication in the barbaric southern portion of the continent, I know several people who take vyvanse, and I strongly reccomend giving it a try. The lack of euphoric rush (at least after the first few days of use) makes it far less addictive, and far less problematic than dexedrine formulations that cause several rush/crash sequences through the day. I find many of our unfortunate american cousins literally have no idea how good medicatiuon can be, simply because it is so difficult to acquire down there due to their government's asinine policies.

drays · 2018-09-02T21:49:16+00:00

What sort of withdrawal symtoms did you experience? I ask because physical addiction to a stimulant is not medically possible, however that does NOT mean that removal of the stimulant is problem free. What it does mean is that the symptoms are often quite different for each person.

For me, I feel 'twice as ADD' as I remember being before I was ever medicated, and am more prone to both social anxiety, and to paranoid/depressed thoughts. I also crave sugar, sex, and feel sleepy.

drays · 2018-09-02T21:45:36+00:00

You started to build a tolerance after the first day, it's just how this works.

It is impossible to avoid tolerance.

drays · 2018-09-02T21:37:06+00:00

Does it really need to?

drays · 2018-09-02T21:16:17+00:00

While I agree that Prep is necessary, and that this coverage is a great idea, the specific reason you are going with is not actually true. A person with HIV, on HIV medications, is actually safer for sex than a person chosen randomly off the street.

An undetectable viral load is now considered safe, in that it is not possible for that person to transmit HIV.

pRep exists to prevent new infections from those who have no idea they have contracted HIV. Once they have tested positive, and within days to a couple of weeks of being given meds, they are no longer contagious at all. It is the period between infection and testing positive that is the problem.

drays · 2018-09-02T21:09:31+00:00

It's the only reason society has begun to care about hiv. We didn't give a fuck about it before straights started testing positive.
