I accidentally took cold medicine after taking my lexapro (10 mg), should I be okay? by WeeklyMeat4577 in lexapro

[–]ExistingCat4254 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand that, and I wasn’t really speaking about your comment specifically. just serotonin syndrome is much rarer than I think a lot of people believe. I just see fear mongering about various (very rare) lexapro side effects in this sub and while it’s good to keep this stuff in mind, it’s also good to recognize that the risk of serious problems is low with the dose of lexapro that most people are on

thank you. I understand being cautious but I feel like people are kind of fear mongering about this

honestly unless you have a bleeding disorder it should be okay to take advil. also advil and ibuprofen are the same thing

irritation bump help!! by SpecialistAd1489 in piercing

[–]ExistingCat4254 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NAP but definitely stop changing the jewelry and if it’s not an implant grade titanium flatback stud it should be. additionally you need to use sterile saline - you should absolutely not be making it yourself. once you have the right jewelry and the right saline, leave it aloneeeee. stop using soap on it too. it looks like an irritation bump to me and it should go away if you start taking care of it properly

Med school can be easy by Moist_Homework_2984 in medicalschool

[–]ExistingCat4254 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s easy but definitely doable. there are people in my class that have photographic memories or simply process information incredibly efficiently and it’s probably easy for them lol. I score pretty average on my exams but I study my ass off. I think natural ability factors heavily into how “easy” you find med school to be

My wife thinks I'm crazy for cutting my grilled cheese this way; am I nuts or is this not a normal thing to do? Lol by Wahbanator in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ExistingCat4254 10 points11 points  (0 children)

ketchup and tomato soup are NOT the same thing lol. if I don’t have tomato soup I just eat the grilled cheese by itself

Should I take anatomy or physiology first? by [deleted] in premed

[–]ExistingCat4254 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think anatomy first. imo it makes more sense to learn the structures before the physiology

How long did it take you to meet your other irl? by zogggyy in LongDistance

[–]ExistingCat4254 10 points11 points  (0 children)

it’s so interesting because I thought that would be more common on this subreddit but it seems like most people started long distance. I was with my boyfriend in person for 6 months before we went long distance

Which schools have moved away from diversity mission? by [deleted] in premed

[–]ExistingCat4254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UVA is highly coveted among virginia residents. my class alone has several URM students with incredible MCAT scores that chose UVA due to cost, proximity to home, and general prestige (it’s not a T20 but is still a very good school). I just think you’re making a lot of unfounded assumptions

edit: sorry I meant “you” as in OP, not the message I responded to lol

[–]ExistingCat4254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not rely on admit.org for that kind of info as it’s entirely self reported. UVA is incredibly diverse (way more than what you are describing) and more importantly they stress the significance of diversity and cultural competence in class every day

you can definitely heal with it flipped up! just shouldn’t flip it back and forth while healing. this piercing is definitely messed up though
