Rant: Meth heads
To the meth heads that live in or near my city:
I hope you all die! Stop buying all the Sudafed (both name brand and the generic forms) in the entire city! Some of us actually need it for medical purposes, you stupid pieces of shit!
Sincerely,

The lady that needs it to get pregnant!
FULL DISCLOSURE: My DH has retrograde ejaculation. His semen goes inward into his bladder instead of out of his body like it should. The easiest way to fix this is for him to take a Sudafed. Unfortunately, our city has a huge population of meth users and producers and they keep buying all the damn Sudafed. We went to four different pharmacies a few days ago to find some only to find out that no location had any available. Then DH spent his lunch today traveling all over the area to find one freaking box of Sudafed. I seriously hate this city. I can't wait to move.

Re: Rant: Meth heads
I'm just going to start making multiple trips to the pharmacy every week and buy more whenever I can so that I can stockpile it. I think there has to be a certain number of days between purchases but I'll figure that out as I go.

Either way, I'm sorry you have to deal with this. How does sudafed help him?

"Meth heads" are sick, not pieces of shit. And to hope anyone dies is really unhealthy. A little perspective is a good thing.
My state does ID. They flag you so you can't buy it again for a certain time period. I think it is something like once a week. Since we only need it for a few days every other month or so, If I can manage to get 2 boxes a month, I should be able to get a little stockpile so that we would have it if we need it.
The problem here is that there is a such a large meth producing and using community that it isn't helping. They've found ways around it. Producers are buying it when they can and users are buying it to bring to their producers.
From what I understand, the Sudafed keeps the bladder neck closed during ejaculation so that the semen has to go out instead of back into his bladder.
I understand addiction. I have family members who have dealt with substance addiction. And while I do agree that saying I hope they die when I was upset was going a bit overboard, I will not retract my statement that they are pieces of shit. Being sick doesn't give you a free pass to be free of judgement from your actions
And frankly, a group of people who buy out an entire category of medicinal drug so that they can cook into an illegal drug to make money off of and get fucked up on, therefore making it inaccessible for people who actually need that medicine...are pieces of shit.
They chose to start doing drugs. They knew the risks when they started. My DH didn't choose to get diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was just 10 years old. He didn't choose to almost die four years ago when a doctor gave him the wrong drug during surgery, causing him to go into diabetic keto acidosis...leaving him with extensive nerve damage and retrograde ejaculation.
You're right...a little perspective is a good thing.

If you have, then wouldn't you have to agree that you're lucky that you've never become addicted?
The meth users in my community chose to do meth that very first time. They chose to make that decision for their lives. But because of the prevalence of users and producers in my area, their choices are affecting the lives of others and that's not fair. So I'm sorry, but I can't sit here and say in complete honesty that I have sympathy for them.
I understand that I am in the minority in that opinion and that is fine. We will just have to agree to disagree on this topic.

Most things we do and choices we make affect others. Just because their "choice" affects you this time doesn't mean that it's now extra unfair.
If you want to learn more, don't hesitate to ask me. This is one area that I'm passionate and knowledgeable about and you're certainly not the only person with prejudices. The goal is empathy, not sympathy.

I don't know anything about retrograde ejaculation, but I know that pseudoephedrine and phenylephrine are NOT comparable when it comes to having a head cold. Probably not comparable when it comes to helping with retrograde ejaculation, either.
Unfortunately, as pp's have already stated, you can't get Sudafed (with pseudoephedrine) on Amazon. You can only get Sudafed PE (with phenylephrine). From what I have read through my research, phenylephrine pills don't have the same affect as pseudoephedrine pills when it comes to retrograde ejaculation. I found one website that mentioned phenylephrine nasal spray possibly having an affect but I've only found one mention of that ever. We know for sure that pseudoephedrine works for him.

I forgot to update last night but DH went to his doctor yesterday afternoon to get checked for bronchitis and while he was there, he talked to his doctor about the whole situation. His doctor was just as confused as we were as to why his office was trying to give him a script for extra strength Excedrin instead of Sudafed. He gave DH a new script for Sudafed. Each refill is 30 pills and he wrote it for 5 refills. And he told DH to call him when he gets to the last refill and he will send in another 5 refills. We should be good to go for a long time!
Now if only my body would cooperate, lol.

You need to check yourself.
"I DO NOT love that you think so many things revolve around you. I know you're bitter. I get it. But I'm over your feelings." The best person on the internet ever!
And actually, I don't need to check myself. I'm good.
But I will say this...if any of you are still so riled up that I spoke hatefully towards the poor, unfortunate meth heads(please read that with all the sarcasm intended), you can continue to post on here about it all you want but I won't be responding to it anymore.
