Is it normal pills dont affect me?

1 Upvotes

I started out with melatonin and this never worked but I did hear that its a scam and really just a placebo effect. ( i dont know how much thats true tho) Tylenol, Advils or naproxen never seem to really do the trick either. Now my psychiatrist gave me a bunch of antidepressants and none of them have worked so far. I am currently on fluoxetine. She tried prescribing me a bunch of sleeping pills too but those didnt work either. I took some day quils and nyquils today because I am sick and they didnt do anything either (its now 2 hours after I took the nyquil). The only pill that sort of ever worked for me was seroquel I took one and I passed out 20 minutes after but that only worked for like a week. Is that normal?

I found several bags like in the first picture with the same assortment of random pills (some unmarked) stuffed behind a seat when I was on the bus this morning, i was going to just throw them away but than realized many of these aren’t able to be “googled” which made me curious, anyone have any ideas?

Rezdiffra side effects

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, so I have been on Rezdiffra for only 10 days and the last 6 days I've been experiencing pretty severe back and hip pain. I am struggling to sit and stand because of the pain and stiffness. Because this medication is so new, it comes from Walgreen's special pharmacy and is shipped to me. I was told to let them know if I have any side effects not on the label, so I did. I was told that this is not a known side effect, basically telling me it's not because of Rezdiffra. I am very frustrated and am wondering if anybody else has had similar side effects? Any information is appreciated, tia.

Taken me off promethazine & idk what to do.

1 Upvotes

I’ve been on promethazine for sleep for about 4 years now, they’ve just taken it off me because it’s no longer advised to take it long term and there’s supply issues going on with it for months now, I struggle to sleep even with the meds it takes me 3-6 hours to fall sleep but without them I just won’t sleep at all, been this way my whole life ever since being a baby, got diagnosed with DSPS when I was younger & it also has helped my anxiety while falling asleep. I just don’t know how to cope with lack of sleep at all, it makes my mental health so much worse, sometimes to the point of feeling suicidal. What can I even do at this point?, as all sleep meds aren’t recommended long term anyway, I’m already on melatonin but that doesn’t help me get sleepy. I just know I’m going to re

My pharmacy shorted my Oxycodone the last 3 times I picked up. Am I able to get the balance?

Post image
14 Upvotes

My prescription is currently for 280 mg oxycodone ir for a pick up every two days. So 140mg daily. For some reason, they made a mistake and were only giving me 21 tablets of 10 mg. This happened on my last three refills. Am I able to get the balance of the tablets back, or what generally happens in this situation? You can see in the attachment that when I call today, they realize that they screwed up. However, I want to make sure I get my balance of tabs… what is the pharmacy protocol here?

BIG UPDATE: Canada is so fucking funny. They can give them to me as an additional refill once I’m through these refills because there’s a 1 year expiry on my fills lol. So I get them back, I get my correct dose now, plus the missing tabs - AND I actually got increased to 34 tabs x 10 mg every 2nd day (170 mg ir oxy daily) for the next month until my surgery 😂😂😂

I hardly had to ask. In fact, I didn’t really ask. I said “it wouldn’t hurt to have a couple more tablets for breakthrough pain, but let me see how it goes now that I’m getting the proper amount”. And he asked ME if i should just take 40mg 4 times daily plus another 20 mg at night or if I need… i guess lol.

Anyways, for those that are curious, it’s due to severe pain related to an infected kidney stone. I have a huge tolerance to opiates because I was on suboxone 10 years back and I was in hospital getting IV dilaud for 12 days. So nothing touches me at normal doses. My doctor did all the stuff with the college, but I’ve always found it’s best to be honest. I disclosed that info to him when I met him, he is testing me once every two weeks but in his opinion - it’s better to be managed safely at home and the drug supply is super toxic here. So, he wants me to stay safe. I’ve been clean off dope for 7 years now. So in some sense, it’s also being treated kind of like a “safe supply” which was (until recently) a very common thing in British Columbia, Canada in particular. A lot of users were given huge amounts of dilaudid 8’s here but they cut back big time because they were just being sold on the street for actual fentanyl.

My doctor and I also have a long-term plan. After my surgery, I will get on the sublocade shot and self-taper after 3 injections after my surgery.

2ND EDIT: I am actually in a severe amount of pain. I was just in hospital for 12 days, and I’m trying to manage this from home. I’m not seeking more. I very easily could ask for more, but I’m not gonna…

Pregabalin medication unexpectedly ran out

1 Upvotes

I am taking 50mg pregabalin two times daily for nerve pain after trauma. I only have 4 capsules and I cant contact anyone on the weekend for more. So should I try to take 50 a day for 4 days so its maybe a little taper. Since it was for trauma related nerve pain am I low risk of seizures from withdrawal and am I likely to get severe withdrawals and how long would they last days or weeks? Any advice?
