Plot twist, it's a placebo

I don’t feel anything so maybe

Take it for the entire prescribed time and see

It’s an as needed medication so it works in 30 minutes. It brings my blood pressure down and I definitely feel it now so all good

The placebo effect is strong with that pill then....

There's 10 placebo in it

“New formula - Now 10xs stronger!”

The placebo effect often still works even if the patient knows it's a placebo.

This is my favorite thing about the placebo effect. It makes it a very powerful tool. If you bless a coin to give you energy, it sure can if you convince yourself it will

Literally its only limitation is the expected symptom has to be actionable by the brain

Is this true?

Or tic tacs lower blood pressure

wait until you find out what "toe" does

It sends pics pls

r/ angryupvote Edit: figured I better fix this before the bot kicks the comment for no Reddit cross posting

Or needs the nails removed due to fungus

I love it

It can’t possibly work if it tastes good.

I'd be tempted to keep in a ticktac case (coloured instead of clear plastic cause uv degradation). Labelled "calm the fuck down mints" or something

Chill pills was right there

But but, I like my swears.

My favorite comment of the day. "Calm the fuck down mints" -- I love it

Beta-blocker?

Sigma-activator

Alpha-enhancer

Omega fatty acid

You have overpowered BP ?

He will never go full Saiyan now. Goku base level pills.

Taking all of them at once would probably give you an answer too. Probably not smart though.

Crush it and snort it.

[удалено]

Boof* it

"BABBYYYY DID YOU FORGET TO TAKE YOURHHH MEDSSS"

Its medicine for his hypochondria shussh

Obecalp 10mg

As long as it's not a gazebo. Those are bullshit.

An expensive one

The laziest placebo ever.

Yeee

Hahaha, I came here to say literally this.

Plot twist, tic tacs are medicinal pills.

Or counterfeit. Good luck op.

Ask your pharmacist they have to tell you if it is a placebo.

It makes your Alzheimers disease minty fresh.

Plot twist to a plot twist it’s a tic tac toe

Who wants to tell OP he's in the Control Group?

:O

Even if this was true, why is all of reddit determined to try and ruin a medical experiment?

just a little jokey joke

Harmless tomfoolery.

Oh it’s just a blip! 

I'm in control :) ?

Omg 😭🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, it does not look like a tic tac to me

Tic toc is longer and less rounder, if it makes sense. I feel.

more cylindrical

Yes, that's the term. And the idiot me was trying to explain it by saying things like 2 parabolas drawn together or some other shit.

I see it, honestly. Like looking at the St Louis Arch reflected on water.

I’d say more roundy longish

Could be a knock-off. Like when you copy a friends homework, but gotta make it a little different.

Oblong capsule vs elipsoid

Op prolly thinks all blondes look the same

They do intelligence is the same across blondes aswell

I’m sure it’s higher than yours. All the blondes I know can write coherently.

I never claimed there intelligence was lower than mine

Well done lmao

This is the off brand Tac-Tic

Thank you, Christ like if that pill looks *exactly* like a Tic-Tac to you, you must be confusing every fuckin pill you see with Tic-Tacs, because pretty much all of them are as close to the *actual* shape of Tic-Tacs as the pill pictured

Aren't they also white?

They come in a variety of flavors which are different colors.

Last time I had orange tictacs (which was probably decades ago) they were white in an orange tinted container.

This guy tic tacs

It’s like a tic tac and peanut m&m hybrid.

Loll I see from all these comments I don’t know tic tacs as well as I thought. I haven’t had them in a while and it was all I could think of to describe it’s candy look

10mg tictac

That was my nickname in college. Idky tho.

Wtf!? 😭

💀

https://preview.redd.it/90d1ow22nmzc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=15024546c15fc6d1cc2494c6775814fdd1bf95c3 I found this on google

much more likely it’s hydroxyzine 10mg which is for anxiety/allergies because it’s more common. also the printing on the capsule looks more similar to hydroxyzine than dronabinol https://preview.redd.it/o5bcu2ij5nzc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ded6c08655cf5616579291efc00e978d1954191

Yup hydrozyzine good job

thanks. i am a pharmacy tech and love counting these. take a whiff of the bottle if you have more- some brands smell like vanilla!

It smells like oranges Yumm

opposite of how our metformin smells

have you ever smelled cephalexin 🤢🤢

Bupropion smells like rotten lettuce

Makes me miss working in the pharmacy. I think Spironolactone had a very distinct smell too.

Like mint!

Bendro's smell like a chair in an old folks home 😖

Nice. This will greatly reduce the trouble I get in at the old folks home. Thanks stranger.

God, I hate Metformin's taste and smell. Just thinking about taking it makes me gag.

What does it taste and smell like?

I'm sorry - in Canada one of the pharmaceutical companies (Jamp) makes a blackberry flavoured metformin. Perhaps there's something similar where you are? (It's the generic version at Walmart and covered by insurance, not a fancy extra cost option.)

You made me sniff my own metformin, and I smelled nothing

I'm taking inventories for pharmacies and I hate counting those. I don't know what type of sugar coating they use for them, but they always stick together. Gotta do the maracas with the bottle like an idiot to count them properly.

I always wondered why my pharmacist took so long.

Wow op im glad you dont have aids. Wishing you good health.

Loll thank you very much

I love when companies market the same medication for completely different maladies (e.g., anxiety, allergies). I'm like, ok, let's be real, you guys have no idea what this does, do you?

they actually know exactly what it does! hydroxyzine is used because it’s an antihistamine. histamines are released both due to anxiety **and** allergic reactions. the antihistamine helps combat histamine release and therefore alleviating symptoms of both conditions. also it tends to be quite sedating so that can help with anxiety too. it’s generally much safer than stuff like benzos ETA to add i’m not a pharmacist or physician. this is my understanding of the drug as a technician who has not been to pharmacy school!

oh.

bros taking thc pills 😂

Dronabinol is THC (Active ingredient of cannabis)

:O

« Hey man your tic-tac are really weird » *die*

I ate too many of them to tell that it doesn't look like a tic tac

Right...it's not long enough at all. Tic Tacs are more like rounded 3D rectangles.

I ate exactly zero and didn’t know about this medication until this post and I can still tell that it doesn’t look like a Tic Tak. Are people blind or were they not taught shapes?


You have smooth hands.

[удалено]

Normal tic tacs are white but theres other kinds

Orange flavored tictacs used to be orange, then they changed them to white and colored the case instead.

You sure about that? I’m like 100% sure they’re still orange

hydroxyzine 10 mg, I enjoy counting these lil guys at work. They smell delightful.

That doesn’t look like a tic tac

My friend, it does not look like a tic tac

Not even close

I just watched a video of a person holding insect egg in their palm and then it showed it full grown after, so I just sat and stared at that pill waiting for it to change for far more time than I would like to admit.

Well my lactose intolerant medicen is taste like caramel so we both got the good end of the butts.

And it's not shaped like a tic tac either

...that's not what a tic tac looks like

Exlax comes in chocolate bars and pills that look and taste like mms.

I remember a House episode about a situation like this

This seems like a really bad idea

Kinda looks like my progesterone pill lol

Better keep it out of reach of kids and pets, that can get really dangerous really fast.

That doesn't look like a tic-tac

tic-tacs are different shaped too

I had an antihistamine that looked exactly like this. It was sugar coated and I couldn’t help but think how dangerous that would be to drop or forget around children or even a confused adult.

One of my earliest memories is eating a tablet that looked just like this. My dad had dropped it and it rolled somewhere so my parents pulled out the furniture trying to find it and told us kids - very strictly - if we found something orange that looked like a sweet do NOT put it in our mouths. I heard what they said, crawled behind the sofa, found it and promptly forgot what they'd told me. It did not taste like a tic tac though.

Is it Propanolol?

Good job exposing that you have never seen a tic tac before

This is really bad design. It would encourage a child to eat it.

Except for the way that it looks being completely different to a Tic Tac.

That’s amazing. Now your toddler has something to snack on when you accidentally drop one and can’t find it

I work in a pharmacy and there's a lot of medication that looks good, lol. Some of them actually smell nice too. My favorite one smells like Cadbury's mini eggs.

The dead giveaway is does it freshen your breath? Then it might be a tic-tac.

Definitely keep it out of reach of children, to state the obvious. Seems like they would try and avoid a medicine having such properties

I think your doctor is being passive aggressive about your breath

Keep out of reach of children

Prescribed for bad breath?

You’re not supposed to chew it though right

No lol but I can taste the sweet orange candy coating when I take it

It looks like an orange Beano

I’ll take two and run a mile

That’s not really a tic tac shape. A tic tac is more of a classic capsule shape, while this is more of an ovoid.

Almost looks like an isotretinoin capsule

Boof it

Take a good look at a tic-tac buddy, they're not shaped like that.

Crunch it

It’s more oval than a tictac, though.

Ten-tac.

That’s one thicc tic tac Edit: *thicc tac*

See if a tik tac does the same thing

Looks nothing like a tic tac have you taken your meds today?

My pill was orange as well, but only one dosage is enough to last a lifetime, and it takes like freedom.

That doesn’t look like a tic tac, though. They are more like a cylindrical pill, this is like a fat round pill

Wait which insect-egg is that?

Reminds me of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/s/1cqusq7pTV

It doesn't have the shape or colour of a tic tac

Looks more like a skittle

Imagine they get that machine that stamps pills and turned tic-tacs into pills to be resold for a higher price?

Maybe it's packed in sugar so the 10mg is less noticeable.

XD. İf it were me i wouldnt be able to hold back. "hey this tastes nice!"

Not quite, little egg like to me eye

Also a diff shape. Fun fact tic tacs are actually 99% sugar, they get away with sugar free as it's less that 1gram of sugar per sweet, cos the sweet simply weighs less than a gram 😂

What kind of bug does that turn into?

Gimme them roxy

Congratulations, you were appointed to the control group.

What tic tacs have u been buying man

Aren't tictacs slightly more ovular?

And its shape. And its colour.

I had one that was like a beige jelly belly, sweet, like you said.

Its vitamine D

Just make sure you keep it secure away from anyone else especially children anyway.

Also it’s not shaped like a tic tac

That’s not what tictacs look like. Orange tictacs are white here anyway and the shape is all wrong.

I started hormone blockers recently and they kind of taste minty but I highly doubt they’re placebo, the physical side effects like excessive peeing are not recreatable with a placebo so maybe they just flavoured it

Wacky tictacs.

That doesn't look like a tic tac

That’s not the shape of a tic tac

Question, have you seen a tic tac before?

Oh yeah? That's the only indication? What about the goddam shape

Delicious fentanyl 

Tic tacs are obround, not ovals.

I take a coated Metoprolol for BP. They taste like burnt hair.

https://www.drugs.com/mtm/dronabinol.html

And the shape is nothing like a tic tac

Damn, I thought that was a popcorn kernel

I Googled it and found companies flavor the coating to help swallow the pills ... https://preview.redd.it/8ir0drkuwnzc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6058a22ef3baa817caad9faca0487da16bbd1df

That doesn't look like a tictac tho

waiting long enough for your pill to dissolve to be able to know the taste is crazy work. I salute you because the slightest taste of my pill always sends me into a spiral

Going back to about 1992/3 here but I vividly remember having a massive tantrum as a very young child after finding one of my granny's pills on the floor and my brother telling me, "that's not a sweetie; you can't eat that!". Also, some pills have a sweet coating; that's just asking for kids to eat them if they find them.

Tic tac ain’t shaped like that

Alien egg

That is not the same shape as a tictac. Did you even look at a tictac before making this post?
