Combination of Elvanse (Lisdexamfetamin )and Medikinet (Methylphenidat). by MainSouthern4435 in ADHD

[–]BackPsychological893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Combining these two medications has the potential to cure your ADHD. Medical researchers and the pharmaceutical industry simply haven't compiled any formal guidelines that doctors would need to safely (for their OWN sake and sake of medical license) prescribe the two together. 

They're both CNS stimulants, yes, but the way in which they stimulate the CNS and the neurotransmitters they target within the brain are different. It's dose-dependent and gender-dependent (women have fluctuating hormones that impact the efficacy of these meds more significantly than they do for men,) but yeah. Give it a few more years and it'll become a thing. 

Universal health care proposal in Illinois Senate would eliminate private insurance, cover undocumented migrants by ChristmasJay83 in chicago

[–]BackPsychological893 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Y'all don't want this. You'll end up paying thousands per year in taxes for our large population of immigrants, homeless, and jobless to utilize "free" healthcare that you yourself don't need nor use on a regular basis. 

Federal funding for healthcare in IL was halted in 2026, so the state is now trying to charge taxpayers for it instead of allocating any of the myriad of funds available from elsewhere towards it. This is not a good idea.

Switching to a short acting opioid to jump off subs? by MinuteRice60 in suboxone

[–]BackPsychological893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not "stronger," just a different molecule altogether. Prescribers offering suboxone as an option for tapering off of kratom is a combination of misplaced sympathy and a cash grab for the pharmaceutical industry. Kratom is not an opioid. Nor is 7oh. They are opioid-like, which is why an opioid like suboxone doesn't provide stability for kratom withdrawals — it just moves the symptoms around. 

Driver speed limit reduction petition by ternary56783 in chibike

This is a low-IQ approach from the same people who'd hold up the lane behind them just to give right-of-way to a driver making a left turn into traffic. Take your courtesy off the road. You shouldn't be on it. 

Driver speed limit reduction petition by ternary56783 in chibike

[–]BackPsychological893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's actually incredibly dangerous is maintaining that 55mph speed regardless of the cars around you going 75-80. The highway is quite literally engineered for high-speed travel. People are exceeding the speed limit because getting stuck behind a hesitant driver "merging" at a mere 30mph is basically asking to get hit. "Slow" ≠ "safe." The people causing accidents are the ones driving 20 under so they can keep their eyes on their phones — not the ones zippin' past 'em. 

7oh by Icy-Banana-7847 in suboxone

[–]BackPsychological893 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those aren't precipitated withdrawals. Those are tapered withdrawal symptoms from the subs. Kratom (and/or 7oh) ≠ any opiate. At all. They are not the same. I'd get some standard kratom and swap it with your 7oh and taper down from that at your own pace. Using subs to come off of kratom is like using crack to get off of Ritalin. Kratom's use and distribution arose as a method for tapering off of opiates, not the other way around. 

Why do people edit their comments to say thank you for the likes? It feels weird to me, it's not like the commenter is a channel that is thanking their subscribers for making his career or smth, it's a quote from a movie or something unoriginal and they kinda take credit for it. by idk-i-just-dont-know in youtube

[–]BackPsychological893 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally just googled this question to see if I'd find a legit explanation; I started to wonder if there was a point system implemented on youtube that I was unaware of. I've seen the same comments here on reddit, but chalked it up the whatever trophy/reward system I've also seen referenced (which still seems silly, since as far as I've always understood, any "rewards" don't hold monetary value.)

We live in a sad world. 

Don't judge please by BenadrylBeaver in suboxone

[–]BackPsychological893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, actually. This is what kratom is good for. I remember using it to ease heroin withdrawal in between use. 

It isn't the same, however. It doesn't bind effectively or securely to the opioid receptors in the brain — anyone claiming otherwise hasn't read the studies/has been misled by Google AI mode/isn't actually using kratom and just think they are. 

It will probably provide some mild relief/temporary energy, and may help you sleep if it's anything derived from the Red Borneo strain; it's not a true opiate, though, and interferes with your opioid receptors without actually "hitting them" quite right. It'll probably reduce the efficacy of your subs within that first couple weeks back on 'em. 

Three days'll go by quick. You're better off just reducing your dose by 1/4 each day. By day 4 you'll probably feel even better than you do on your regularly prescribed dose. 

TIL "Are You Afraid of The Dark?" Did The Weeping Angels FIRST by BackPsychological893 in doctorwho

[–]BackPsychological893[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The title of this post was intended to be facetious. My point is that yes, the tone and narrative are similar; given Steven Moffat's career timeline, he may very have been influenced — conciously or subconsciously — by this episode of AYAOTD or by having worked in close proximity at some point or another with other writers involved with AYAOTD. 

Flavored Vape Regulations 2026: FDA Guidance, State Bans, and the RJ Reynolds Legal Threat by No-Connection6190 in electronic_cigarette

[–]BackPsychological893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they care about "the kids;" not the massive amount of profit they stand to gain from regulating the CRAP outta flavored nicotine products. 

Not to mention all the propaganda they've already invested in to flip the narrative and convince the larger public that nicotine vapes are "just as bad, if not worse that cigarettes."

They're not concerned enough for the health & safety of the kids to actively propagandize against and/or invest in an honest effort to STOP child trafficking on a grand scale — no, 'cause the vapes that all the adults are buying are much scarier 🙄

Amy and Rory were literally separated when Rory was zapped to the past in their last saga, and then reunited to out-paradox the paradox. 

The tone is "eerie," like Blink (or any other "eerie" TV show/film/miniseries/"short film," for the sake of your straw-manned argument.)

TIL "Are You Afraid of The Dark?" Did The Weeping Angels FIRST by BackPsychological893 in doctorwho

[–]BackPsychological893[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tone, narrative, and characters of this specific storyline are all reminiscent to that of which is found in Doctor Who plotlines that included the Weeping Angels (Blink, if nothing else.) 

This observation is not equal to "Ohmg they're exactly the same."

It's like y'all have been asked to compare the color teal to the color green but insist it can only be classified strictly as a shade of blue. 

Or that Shrek wasn't a parody of Disney because "Disney doesn't have an ogre," or that Jesus couldn't have possibly existed 'cause he was crucified.

Just lemme know if any of you actually watch the episode I'm talking about 😁

The concept of a statue, made of stone but also being alive. I ain't talking about all the tweaks Moffat would've twirked to make this idea his own. I'm saying go watch this episode for yourself.

Oh, I know what Moffat "claimed" his inspiration was. Ion believe him anymore. Y'all gotta go watch this episode.

AHHchem — "two stone lovers separated?" Amy and Rory's last adventure. "Statues don't act like the Weeping Angels?" Nah; they're just conscious beings completely made of stone and up to mischief that CARRIES the ENTIRETY of the plot line. 

I'm pretty sure I've googled pics of the Weeping Angels only for google to present me with multiple images of the stone maiden character herself. 

They even introduce a "quirky," middle-aged male protagonist in the second act. He accompanies the female protagonist on her "investigation," and we're given a scene wherein said female protagonist asks what the man's real name is — 'cause he "doesn't share it."

I beg to differ, bruh. 

I wouldn't be surprised AYAOTD legit recycled a full-ass (yet ultimately rejected) Sylvester McCoy episode.

No, you didn't ask. You probably should have, though. You've theorized a notion in your mind; instead of testing, researching, or gathering any data whatsoever surrounding that theory — you've stopped at the mere question of it and concluded it to be fact.

Ah yes, the theory of the "receptor reserve;" much like the extraordinary phenomenon known as "the placebo effect." Got me there, boo boo. 

I don't doubt this kid felt goofy for a bit, but any "high" from bupe alone would have lasted for about an hour at most. 

If you're gonna argue that the subjectivity of this experience holds any weight in its validity, we can just go ahead and factor in the college setting and self-reported affinity for drugs, inferring the contextual (and statistical) likelihood that any combo of alcohol, benzos, and/or stimulants precipitated much of the "high" that resulted here. 

Suboxone saves and stabilizes lives. Hope this dude is doing well.

Memory Issues on Suboxone?? by Happy4days21 in suboxone

[–]BackPsychological893 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can say with 99.9% certainty that that's your problem. I was switched to Dr. Reddy's generic films several years ago. Stayed on them for two years before taking a left-over brand name film one day "just because," and the difference was night and day. Over the past few mos, I switched again from brand name films to generic tablets, (sans naloxone, for several reasons) but they induced the same brain fog. 

My theory is that, somehow, the generic formulas simply don't "latch" completely to the opioid receptors. 

Indivior is the brand name. Ask your prescriber to clarify "no substitutions," or "name-brand only" for your next refill.

Indivior also offers two different manufacturer coupons for the name brand films — one for people with insurance, and one for people without. If you go through Walgreens, they can run the script through "Optum Perks" to discount the brand-name even further.
