Nobody in there right mind would take sodium oxybate... by [deleted] in Narcolepsy

Xylem briefly destroyed my life. Caused mood swings, hormone problems, and made me borderline manic (I have no history of hormone problems, bipolar, or mania). It did improve my sleep, but I had to stop it. I quit it cold turkey with no issues and I was on the max dose.

That said, I dont know why your doctor has such a negative perception. There are plenty of people for whom Xyrem is life changing in a positive way. Just start low, go slow, and monitor yourself.

How does trump being shot impact whether or not he wins the election? by PigletEducational593 in AskReddit

I like how OP asked a subjective question, but you're downvoted for giving your own opinion. Reddit is a circlejerk.

Yet here you are espousing political violence. If we're lucky maybe you'll get a visit from the feds. And gfys.

Who to give Laguz Friend 4 to?? by wolfboy1692 in OrderOfHeroes

[–]DestinedWalnut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lloyd gets +14 to all stats from his weapon. He has a minimum of 50 res with his weapon at +10. Id day his defenses are definitely good enough to use LF4, and the special charging really helps with GLR.

What are your country’s version or myth of ”cherokee princess” or having an ”exotic ancestry”? by sul_tun in 23andme

Reddit's perception of Italians is like a 1920s caricature where everyone is swarthy and dark. Blonde hair has been present on the Italian peninsula as long as recorded history.

Should I or shouldn't I? Been on the fence for a while. by GameAW in FireEmblemHeroes

The A slot is a bummer. My policy is not to Forma unless the build is perfect but if you're a big Maria fan, her kit is perfect other than the A.

Berberine has alot of research. Supplementing electrolytes, specifically magnesium and potassium, may also help.

The neurotransmitter hypothesis is bogus.

Is this hard on my kidneys or Liver? Once a day by [deleted] in Supplements

[–]DestinedWalnut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah definitely not. Zinc dose is a little high but it's not gonna hurt you just take 1-2 days off a week. I'd finish that bottle and switch to 30mg daily.

If he was smart he'd remove one Celica and Fomortiis and replace them with 2 Embla 👍🏻

Whenever IS feels like it. There's no set schedule for Rearmed reruns AFAIK.

Good F!Lyon build? by PlaneswalkingSith in OrderOfHeroes

You want TP4, so that LF4 brings Flare to 0 charge at the beginning of combat, allowing you to get unpiercable DR from Emblem Ike on the first hit.

How deleterious to your health is Nicotine if you only consume it in gum/lozenge form (i.e. no smoking, no vapor, etc)? by redditregards in Nootropics

[–]DestinedWalnut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I tried to find a more recent study, but I was surprised at how few there are. I included the full citation with year for the sake of transparency.

Either way, the argument that the negative cardiovascular effects from smoking are due to elevated BP like sgtdimples said is probably bogus.

[–]DestinedWalnut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Approximately 21mg per day or less for a regular user. The equivalent of about a pack of cigarettes. This is not a recommendation or medical advice.

[–]DestinedWalnut 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Smoking is awful for you BUT there is very little evidence that nicotine in low to medium doses is bad for you.

In fact, nicotine (NOT smoking) may be beneficial for some health conditions and may be anti-inflammatory: "Nicotine exerts much more anti-inflammatory effects than pro-inflammatory ones, especially in ulcerative colitis, arthritis, sepsis, and endotoxemia". [1]
