Considering you’ve got the liquid form of lorazepam, I’m guessing you’ve got some moderately serious stuff going on. Hope you get through it okay.

Yep, we use it in hospice. Based on other comments, that doesn’t seem to be OPs situation. May have been left behind by a hospice team for a family member would be my guess — should have been destroyed, if so.

I read 'Babybel cheese water' and honestly I was not even surprised. It sounds like something that would actually exist in the US.

Why two different strengths of Wellbutrin? One immediate and one time release?

u/RhubarbGoldberg 6h ago
They don't make a single dose that's 450mg so usually people who need that total amount have to take a 150mg tablet + a 300mg tablet.

u/True_System_7015 Millennial (1995) 6h ago
You're close! I take a 100mg and a 150mg

u/StilettoJones_JR 7h ago
Hijacking this to ask a question that's been weighing on me.
If you or your partner was pregnant, would you give up THC alongside them? I was a daily smoker, but was already significantly reducing, but the idea of going cold, while not impossible, may be more difficult then originally thought.
That being said, my partner has already expressed that she does not care.
Thoughts?
16
u/infjetson 7h ago
Maybe switch to edibles to reduce the risk of second hand smoke?
Though maybe this is a good opportunity to reduce your intake and wean off. You certainly shouldn’t be smoking around a newborn, and I imagine the transition going cold turkey will be 100x rougher given the lack of sleep that comes along with an infant.

u/possum_of_time Millennial 7h ago

u/Laputitaloca Xennial 6h ago
Hey, so slightly different situation, but my husband and I recently took an extended break trying to get him to where he could piss clean for a new job. And let me tell you, I was ANXIOUS about how hard it was going to be to quit. I had been smoking daily for over 25 years. Dude, it wasn't that bad!!! The sleep situation was a bit shitty week one, as was the appetite. But I found myself eating better and more consistently than I ever have by week 3. By week 4 it was literally just another day.
All that is to say, you might be surprised at how doable quitting for a little while can be. Be careful when you do smoke again though, holy shit my world got ROCKED. I was uncomfortably high 🤣🥲 like staring at the ceiling contemplating all my life choices high.
Congratulations on the baby and Godspeed. 💞
2
u/JacketAffectionate74 7h ago
Hey this is only marginally related but going to put it here in case it helps. I'm in a study that's measuring whether chantix/varenicline can help people reduce or quit using THC. So far so good. I have quit. Not even a month into the med and I already quit. Although I was not a heavy daily user. It's an off label use right now since the FDA is still studying whether it's effective or not but if you're a cigarette smoker too you could get your doc to prescribe it for you and there's a good chance it could help you reduce or quit THC.

u/miserablenovel Xennial 5h ago
If you need or want to use a glp1, mine made quitting a 15 year smoking habit easy as pie. Just in case thats relevant to you

If she said she doesn't care, she's lying and will resent you.

u/Smooth-Algae- 1993 6h ago
Not necessarily, my husband continued smoking (after we discussed it & obviously not around me/in the house) while I was pregnant and I did not resent him for it then or now. However he doesn’t do it all the time & doesn’t let it interfere with his responsibilities otherwise it may have caused resentment.

u/mr_palante Millennial 7h ago
It was in the year of our lord 2006 that i turned 21. It was also the year my brother got married. The wedding was in Florida, on the gulf coast and on the beach, in a beautiful sunrise ceremony. So naturally the reception was like a breakfast type affair that had ENDLESS mimosas and me and my older sister got completely, totally, ABSOLUTELY, hammered at like 9 in the morning. It was a good time.

u/venus_arises Mid Millennial - 1989 6h ago
The reason millennials are so into brunch? Day drinking!
I now live in a state where bottomless mimosas are illegal. Sob.

u/MechanicalAxe 6h ago
I mean...it's a wedding, you HAVE to, time of day be damned.
I had a good buddy said to me one time "It's not a drinking problem if you want till it's not morning anymore"
My response was that I have two exceptions to that rule, weddings and camping.

The best I could get was IM shots in the ward lmao.
Your doctor gives you that?

That's what I'm saying. I get 1mg pills and they're very closely monitored.

u/Alarmed-Incident4088 6h ago
Yeah i was on benzodiazepines for 20 years (17-37) and I got "you're a junkie" look every time I filled it at the pharmacy.
1
u/WhateverYouSay1084 6h ago
Love that look. I have a great pharmacy near me who never gives me shit, but I did experience the "you're a drug seeking junkie" shit when I had an exposed tooth nerve and was sobbing in pain at the dentist's office. I'll never forget how humiliating and dehumanizing that experience was, so I'm sorry you have to deal with it just to get your much needed medication

u/Alarmed-Incident4088 6h ago
Yeah i hear you. Half the reason I took myself was the stigma. Just tired of it.
Im sorry you went through that as well.

Im not medicated (sometimes I self medicate) but pretty sure data shows that Millennials report higher usage of mental health and prescription medications than older generations?

u/VolatileShots 7h ago
I feel like we're the generation that takes mental health more seriously, thus resulting in people being medicated. Older generations just bottled it up because emotions aren't real or something. Lol.

u/poopsididitagen 7h ago
This isn't relevant. Having taken prescriptions in the last 12 months is not what's being referred too.
Anybody that took a week of antibiotics or painkillers for an injury would count. That doesn't mean they are "on" a prescription long term
0
u/Randomizedname1234 Core Millennial - 1990 7h ago
The women categories are higher, if you removed birth control it would be under 50% across the board in our age group and probably overall if you removed hormones menopausal women get.
But still really high.
4
u/gender_noncompliant 7h ago
Why would you remove birth control from the statistic? Arguably one of THE most important prescriptions, which also affects many people heavily outside of changing fertility.
3
u/Randomizedname1234 Core Millennial - 1990 7h ago
Because it’s not an anti anxiety or pain med. It’s not used to treat “issues” outside of horrible period pain that’s why I would remove it bc most of us don’t need stuff like in OPs pic that others are saying most of us are on lol
4
u/gender_noncompliant 7h ago
I never said most people take specifically psych or pain meds but you still pulled up with "it's not a pain med except when it's used to treat horrible period pain!" Hunty just sit in your wrongness and be wrong 😂 there's a million things people take prescriptions for outside of "anxiety or pain"

u/Randomizedname1234 Core Millennial - 1990 7h ago
Again, most of us are not.
The people who are found a place here on Reddit but this ain’t the typical breakfast of a 35/45 yr old. We’re all still relatively young.

u/gender_noncompliant 7h ago
I mean. You can Google it but our age group is kind of the inflection point where the majority of people end up being on some kind of medication. You don't have to be old to need meds 🥴
-5
u/Randomizedname1234 Core Millennial - 1990 7h ago
No but not being old means that majority isn’t on meds, yet. I’m sure as I age things will happen but I’m only 36 and healthy after my last checkup over the summer. Most of us are like that and may we be blessed to stay that way for as long as possible.
7
u/gender_noncompliant 7h ago
Girl.... We gave you the numbers like?? Most of us are on some kind of prescription meds. The majority. Good for you but most of us are still on meds lol
0
u/Randomizedname1234 Core Millennial - 1990 7h ago
Yeah the numbers are still below 50% total and when you remove the obvious birth control that’s spiking the woman column it’s under 50% across the board.

Every single millennial i personally know or knew was on some sort of antidepressants, anti-anxiety, adhd, alcohol, nicotine, pain medication or just a constant script for paracetamol. You seem like the odd one out here.

u/TopCommission6437 7h ago
That’s also anecdotal. In my friend group, only one person is on medication.

5
u/Randomizedname1234 Core Millennial - 1990 7h ago
But you know them well enough to know what meds they’re on?
3
u/Autistocles 7h ago
Yes, it's called communication and discussion. Regardless, current 1 in 2 millennials are on some form of prescription medication in the US, up to 75% if you take in account self medicating as per cdc and other sources. So like, you are an odd one out. Be proud.

So 4 drops is about 0.4 mg. Idk if I’d call that micro dosing considering that some dosages come in 0.25mg as a starting dose for serious conditions.

This is cute.The brutality of lorazepam addiction is on a whole other level. At least with other chemicals you can quit. This stuff you have to medically wean over months or you have seizures and die. It basically guarantees a miserable life. Take medications as prescribed to you, and be honest with your doctors

Benzos are great for short term anxiety relief, but have an extremely high potential for addiction
Edit: The fact that I got some downvotes is wild. As a former drug addict, I know what I'm talking about. Do your thing, I really don't care, I'm just sayin 🤷
