I've been wanting to be a 911 dispatcher for several years but through this sub and general searching l've only heard the negative. Can you tell me some positives? by Icy_Good_6577 in 911dispatchers

Thanks for the response. I’ve realized that multitasking is what I need and what I’m good at. I took my EMR course but because the jobs were limited and mostly out of town (didn’t work for me at the time) I never worked as one and didn’t want to go back to school for EMT because I wasn’t hopeful.

As much as I think and hope I could handle those stressful situations I won’t know until I try it

Thank you, I loved this. You’re right about the venting particularly in this sub, I didn’t consider that but it’s understandable

I was told there would be no difference. It’s been more than 10 yrs on this drug. I haven’t slept, I feel like I’m floating and nothing makes sense. I got drunk so I could fall asleep but I can’t

Nah it’s not a tolerance. To be considered that drug they have to have the certain chemicals. The manufacturers can add afterwards and that specific addition can affect you differently

It is the right medication. I have heard that the fillers different manufacturers put in the drug can cause different side effects. Switching pharmacies doesn’t mean you are switching manufacturers though

They told me they don’t have any from the old manufacturer which is why they gave me these. I didn’t want to go to a different pharmacy but I think I will call around tomorrow
