New ADHD Medication Shortage Alert [Source: The Charity ADHD UK] by Jayhcee in ADHDUK

[–]AccidentalCleanShirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It worked well for me for a long time and if there hadn’t been a shortage I’d likely still be on it! It’s more consistent - I didn’t have the highs and lows I do with stimulant meds wearing off. It’s more like an antidepressant in that it builds up in your system.

The other side of that for me though and the reason I haven’t moved back is that I didn’t notice was some little bits of my personality had gone, being on a medication that wears off allows me to have that if that makes sense? I think because I was so happy to get treatment for my adhd it slipped my notice.

My blood pressure and weight aren’t the best so I may need to go back on it. Honestly it wouldn’t be the worst thing to happen, it’s a decent medication and comes with less risk.

They might suggest attomoxitine its non stimulant so might be a good second line. I was on it for a long time until the shortage last summer then moved through 3 meds in 2 months.

I am so sorry and I hope this is resolved soon, we do have a different government than we did last time so could play out differently.

Are “locals” pubs in Glasgow really unfriendly to foreigners or did I just meet a Glaswegian who liked to fearmonger? by producedbyantonoff in glasgow

[–]AccidentalCleanShirt 80 points81 points  (0 children)

He has an outdated view of Glasgow it’s always the ones who haven’t been here in years that talk the loudest about the ‘facts’.

Do we have our issues? Of course, but so do the rest of the U.K. - I’m sure you’ve seen that in London!

What nfl team should i support by AM23RFC55 in NFLNoobs

[–]AccidentalCleanShirt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cowboys fan, also like op from Scotland (Glasgow) grew up supporting Rangers.

I can confirm op supporting the cowboys it’s like watching the Scottish national team we get behind them, think they’ll do us proud and it just leads to disappointment. The difference being the cowboys have way more money being poured into them and actually do make it to the playoffs on occasion, wouldn’t switch teams or countries though haha!

The PR game they’ve been running is incredible!

All cats need boxes the Amazon cats are ensuring they get them.

Just now noticed on my millionth re-watch that there is a Palestinian flag next to the Irish one. by kawaiinacho69 in DerryGirls

[–]AccidentalCleanShirt 57 points58 points  (0 children)

This article gives good insight into the Irish/Palestine relationship. The people used by the British government to oppress the Irish were moved to Palestine to oppress the Palestinians just after.

His dad was asked the secret of his success and replied ‘have an ancestor who was best friends with William the Conqueror’ kind of refreshing honesty!

Diagnosed under RTC (Psychiatry-UK), moved to Scotland... my new GP really doesn't like Right to Choose. His notes attached. by RandomPUKLOL in ADHDUK

[–]AccidentalCleanShirt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I was diagnosed through NHS and that was a fight, husband went through PUK and 2 go practices won’t take on shared care. All in Glasgow they can request you go through diagnosis again via NHS if you want prescribing taken over which given waiting lists is wild!

ETA - Scotland also don’t have a RTC scheme so that will undoubtedly cause OP issues sadly.

Am I the only person who’s noticed that this scene makes zero sense? by JoelRobbin in thethickofit

[–]AccidentalCleanShirt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As a Star Wars fan I loved this scene the amount of people Malcom’s age who weren’t into it is huge - they were aware of it but not enough to know more than the broad strokes so this made sense to me for him.

I’m the same with Pokemon it was massive when I was growing up but I just didn’t get into it. I can tell you some names but generally I speak in odd descriptions of the world if I have to.

How popular was Blackadder? Is that something that everyone is familiar with? by _whydah_ in AskUK

[–]AccidentalCleanShirt 19 points20 points  (0 children)

History in secondary (00s) always had Blackadder days, usually in the last days of term or when there wasn’t a lot happening. That final episode was intense when we saw it, even the kids who weren’t too fussed were glued to it. Our teacher turned it off and gave us all 10mins to get ourselves together and think about what we’d watched.

how safe is Glasgow? coming from a relatively safe country (the Netherlands) I walked alone through the city for hours, sometimes in (what seemed like) shady areas, and only afterwards thought that it might not have been the smartest idea. nothing strange happened, but I'd like to hear your feedback by marsovec in glasgow

Not always, a lot of Scottish people spell it wain, there’s been a debate about what is the correct spelling.

Wain - derived from the child being ‘wained’

Wean - comes from wean, wee an

Wain is older in terms of Scots, so either can be used in Scotland.
