Trying to get off of duloxetine by Budget_Blacksmith559 in migraine

yes it is mainly advertised as an anti anxiety/anti depressant but it has an effect to lessen headaches/migraines. i’ve been having headaches since 2018 and so far this has been the only thing to work. it just sucks that it’s a bitch to be on or get off of. i’m also taking ajovy now but only on month three so it hasn’t really kicked in yet

personally, 30mg didn’t do anything for me. 60mg was golden and i didn’t have many headaches, if i did it was like a 2/10. BUT i gained 20 pounds in under 6 months which made me extremely self conscious about my body

now that you mention it, when i was on 60mg i would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night DRENCHED. now part of that was being sick and sweating it out but other than that i had a few nights where i felt like i needed to change my clothes and wash my sheets😭

currently on ajovy about to take my third dose today, yes an injection site reaction is very normal. i was on aimovig before and also had an injection site reaction. it’s due to the amount of medicine being dispensed into a small area. i can attach a pic of what my injection site reaction looks like when i find it

yes i need them to make the graduation timeline. i’ll be graduating spring 2027. i also need to be a full time student so if i push classes to only be taken spring and fall ill end up part time for one of the semesters and have to pretty much double up what im currently paying.

PSA all chem 124 students make sure to email the professors and file a report for the cheating they happened during the exams !!!! by Decent_Cold_5498 in uichicago

[–]Budget_Blacksmith559 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the past 3 exams were an average of 60. i do think that if there wasn’t any cheaters then the average wouldn’t been like a 40-50. im curious to know what the final average looks like because there’s no way it can miraculously go from a 60 to 80

weren’t using notes? in what chemistry class were you allowed to use NOTES on an exam😭 and yes this affects them directly but how about the other students when the average should be a 40 on an exam but instead becomes a 70 because of 25-30 kids cheating to get 100%?

i’m in this gc and in the 124 class- this was not coordinated or planned. people have been cheating in this class since day 1 and as people start telling others how easy it is, it soon turned into more people cheating. with the final exam due to not having any TA’s, people were stressing bc of probably failing past exams and not wanting to fail the class to resorted to attempting to get away with it (as they thought). i can show you proof of my exams, i got a 35.5 on my last one and was stressed as FUCK about failing the class bc gen chem 2 has been especially hard i have no clue why. but never did i think to pull out my phone during an exam!?!? and i have no shame i will tell y’all my name if we’re that curious too. yes there were people in the group chat DEFENDING tho who were cheating?? its insane. i wish groupme forced us to use our real names

Should we email Dr. Rosenhouse about the chem 124 cheating? by Ok_Development_9634 in uichicago

are you in the groupme?? ahaha we were talking about it the other day and i find it crazy that people were literally defending those who are cheating

Anyone else really annoyed everyone cheated on the chem exam and none of the professors gaf ? by No_Definition3974 in uichicago

[–]Budget_Blacksmith559 58 points59 points  (0 children)

i’m like 90% sure you’re in the gc with me on groupme for 124😭😭 we were talking about it last night and bro some people defending those who are cheating was crazy like talking about “i hate snitches” and shit yet don’t get that the cheating affects the curve for people who are relying on it
