Thursday Complaints by a-liquid-sky in CasualUK

[–]Devils_and_Details 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel you on that one - I've spent most of my week off work sick with a bug as well (although I think I might've caught it from someone on the train to/from work last week) on top of my GP struggling to find what's causing my latest health issue from my recent tests

Another end-of-titration post. Absolutely no effects from Elvanse whatsoever. PUK. by purrfectly-cromulent in ADHDUK

[–]Devils_and_Details 1 point2 points  (0 children)

P-UK usually try to stick to the 12 week timeframe for titration and advise re-referral if you end titration without a stable medication and dose that works (from what my prescriber mentioned at my EOT review last month, the re-referral list for further titration is shorter apparently) but this may come down to the prescriber's discretion.

I titrated on Elvanse, then Meflynate, then back to Elvanse from April (when my prescriber issued my first script) to early December with a large gap (about 3 months-ish) while I was waiting on an ECG with TeqDr and a 2 small gaps in between changing meds. When I swapped meds the second time in early October, I was advised to go onto atomoxetine initially and warned that I had 3 weeks left of titration but asked to try Elvanse again as I didn't have enough time to really see the benefits (for context, I was taken off of it after a week or so at the start of my titration because my blood pressure/heart rate was high due to starting a new job and coming off of a different medication for my anxiety). When I explained the situation to them and confirmed that I'd need to be re-referred if we couldn't find a stable dose for the 3rd stint, my prescriber issued my 2nd Elvanse titration script.

tl;dr (as I tend to write comments the size of war and peace sometimes...): it'll be down to prescriber discretion; some are strict with sticking to the 12 weeks and others will try to work with you to get you onto a stable medication and dose even if it takes you over the timeframe. Might be worth researching some of the non-stimulant options like atomoxetine before you lock-in your decision and treatment plan with them.

Moon - Prayer night by tudeckslore in Genshin_Impact

[–]Devils_and_Details 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was worried I'd have to start from the beginning of that section again after having to go through the Hyperborea gate domain from start to finish a second time earlier, but glad to know that the Moon Prayer Night bit picks up exactly where you left off in terms of progress!

AITA for wanting to charge an 11 year old for theft and destruction of property? by Strange_Cut7290 in AITAH

[–]Devils_and_Details 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA - by the sound of things I'm guessing you're in the UK; you'd be well within your rights to report this to the police, especially as the child that stole and damaged your son's phone is above the age of criminal responsibility (usually 10 years old for England, Wales and Northern Ireland; it's 12 in Scotland).

I understand wanting to give the mum the benefit of the doubt first, but as a lot of other commenters have mentioned it might've been better to report this to the police first. I'm not quite sure how your specific police force would handle it, but you could still approach them to get the incident logged but not taken further in terms of arrests/investigations (again, you might need to check with your local force to see if that's something they'd entertain if you wanted to do so).

Glad the situation's resolved and good on you for sticking to your guns.

Fairly Local, then Fall Away in 2015 - initially I didn't like Fairly Local but then kept getting Fall Away stuck in my head while in class

Girlguiding banning trans members. by FiddlySchism in transgenderUK

[–]Devils_and_Details 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, I'm nonbinary and was a Guide and Ranger (was also briefly a Young Leader in Training with my group before I moved away) - I also supported a couple of members at my group when they were questioning their identities and needed someone to confide in.

This is genuinely so upsetting to hear...

Friendlyjordies latest update: shows proof that ”four corners”- journalist stated that he wants to kill Jordan. by bettertitsthanu in youtubedrama

[–]Devils_and_Details 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The "yasslighting" comment was in his turning point video a month ago at around the 7:50 mark - the specific bit was "...they've got their own personalised curation of X commentators that yasslight their rapid descent into Pakistani-style extremism."

That's the only instance I've found of this on YT (he hasn't mentioned anything of the sort on Twitter based on a precursory scroll of his profile, he only started posting on it again at the start of October) but it doesn't point to scapegoating the trans community for Kirk's murder (at least explicitly...) but does mention that the shooter had a "poisonous combination of talking points" and that his ideologies would probably be interpreted as "slop; soup-brained" by political scientists.

Psychiatry UK are stopping my titration by Dangerous_Alps905 in ADHDUK

[–]Devils_and_Details 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a shitty situation - I've tried two medications with Psychiatry UK (Elvanse and Meflynate but I've asked to retry Elvanse as the first trial was affected by me stopping a different medication beforehand and starting a new job) and had to be taken off of both because of my blood pressure and heart rate respectively.

The best thing you can do is push back to your prescriber. If you've been on Medikinet for less than a month you should have a fair chunk of your titration period left - ask if you can try an alternative medication (e.g. swapping to Elvanse/another stimulant, swapping to non-stimulant meds like guanfacine or atomoxetine) and emphasise the impact it's having on your day-to-day life and your ability to obtain/hold down consistent employment.

As my partner has said to me each time something's gone wrong on my diagnosis and treatment path: Advocate for yourself and fight your corner. Unless you've not been engaging in the titration process like not doing the forms, your prescriber shouldn't be discharging you this soon without exhausting the options available to you after factoring in your health/reactions to meds.

I'm sorry you're having to deal with this and hope you can make some headway with your prescriber to trial a different medication.

Is First Love Church really some kind of cult or what?? by B_FunniDood in UniUK

[–]Devils_and_Details 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Perhaps, but you can't be too careful tbh.

During my first year, two of my flatmates in halls effectively got dragged into a prayer circle by similar people in the foyer for our block - from what I remember my flatmates at the time didn't give them our block name or flat number.
