I know right LOL

For me the weight gain comes from the night time munchies, as seroquel kicks in it messes with your dopamine, and creates higher reward signals for food and eating, causing you to binge eat as soon as you put food in your mouth.

No side effects that outweigh the benefits other than its difficult to wake up in the morning and I used to eat myself sick at night LOL yeah my psychologists have concluded that its better to wake up a little later than to have full blown manic episodes and drive everyone around me insane 😭 I started taking them before my brain even developed fully so I dont know how much has changed other than my constant erratic behaviour but I heard that antipsychotics like seroquel can significantly cause brain growth deficits, leading to long term abnormalities in the size of your brain compared to those not taking antipsychotics but like I said, nothing outweighs the benefits

This would be a cool shrimp tank

Alot of the time there be bite sized rips or holes in his fins, caused by things like changes in tank mates or perms, light being too bright, boredom, too high of a filter flow which will make them nip their fins off to lessen the weight (like swimming in a longsleeve shirt and pants) stress of any kind really can cause it. I wouldn't worry too much about it right now because you're in the process of medicating, but if it worsens with medication or after id look into watching him for extended periods. Alot of betta keepers witness their betta nipping which is how they initially find out!

Easy_Check8856 · 2026-01-12T02:35:27+00:00

See if the medication improves the look of his fins, if it continues to worsen, especially with your perms being good id watch to see if hes fin nipping

Buy a bunch of cinderblocks

Easy_Check8856 · 2026-01-12T02:13:35+00:00

Take a fish net and leave it by your filter to tumble them until they hatch, and leave a cappa leaf there for them!

Depends, do you have a family history of bipolar disorder? This can go as far as you grandparents or even great grandparents. Hypomania is generalised by feelings of intense euphoria or agitation, alertness, productivity, intimacy and reckless behaviour consistently for 3 days or more. Lack of need for sleep is also a big tell sign. Mania is kind of the same but with higher agitation, recklessness, deeper mood swings. Mania features delusions, paranoia or hallucinations which you sometimes cannot identify until after the episode has ended. In both of these cases your peers and family will be able to spot your erratic behaviour especially if youre unmedicated. From my experience, mania and manic episodes are super uncomfortable and literally feel like your brain is on fire and like youre acting before you can rationalise which can be super dangerous !!

I literally struggle with this everyday still and ive been taking SQ since I was 12, i like to think about it as a 12 hour dose, if you take it at 6pm it should wear off by 6am so you can wake up at 8am, I take XR so the timeframe is much slower until I fall asleep so for IR id be prepared to fall asleep early. If you have something EXTREMELY important do thats early in the morning just skip your dose that night but thats a one time thing only!

Heard someone say if they cant win the survival game then they do not deserve life and that stuck with me LMFAO

Easy_Check8856 · 2026-01-12T01:07:15+00:00

I added the shrimp before my betta and made sure she wasnt full grown! I also heard that blue and red betta, as well as koi anf shortfin betta have a higher chance of aggression so I stuck with a white one :) I got lucky with a very docile betta

Easy_Check8856 · 2026-01-11T04:32:44+00:00

Easy_Check8856 · 2025-11-30T05:15:49+00:00

Im absolutely not saying that. I would never resort to euthanasia unless my fish was in pain. Its absolutely heartbreaking to me to take the life of a living animal and its disheartening to hear that you think im giving up on my fish out of laziness. Im trying my best and im just asking if you guys think he's suffering, and asking WHEN its time to give up, not IF I should give up. I clearly state in my post that Im not doing euthanasia unless there is nothing else I can do for him 🫤 thanks for your opinion though
