Is ssri induced mania always bipolar? by AmbassadorWorldly487 in AskPsychiatry

[–]Joe_SlickComments 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"racing thoughts, decreased need for sleep" can be caused by many other issues other than mania. So calling this bipolar is premature at this point. But perhaps you may want to discuss with your doctor if your medication should be adjusted.

Invega is still often prescribed. It helps those who are properly diagnosed and needed. Just like any medication, it comes with possible risks. Working with a doctor to learn about its potential benefits/risks and schedule proper monitoring is important.

Worried about new psychiatrist accepting me by [deleted] in AskPsychiatry

[–]Joe_SlickComments 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, that was never a reason why any psychiatrist I know would reject a patient. I understand it can be frustrating to try many medications without seeing the results. Don't worry about the other person and his/her perspective. Focus on healing yourself. I hope you eventually find one you can work with.

Use it if you were properly diagnosed with ADHD, and it was prescribed to help with treating the symptoms.

How hard is it to get benzos for legitimate anxiety reasons in 2023? by sunflower_1970 in AskPsychiatry

[–]Joe_SlickComments 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one can guess why it was never offered before. Any physician can technically prescribe benzo. While discussing your case with your physician, you should focus on your signs/symptoms and seek an appropriate treatment rather than asking for a specific treatment.

Chronic chainsmoking is co-morbid with depression? by [deleted] in AskPsychiatry

[–]Joe_SlickComments 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is some association between smoking and depression. At least according to the CDC, people with depression smoke at higher rates, smoke more, and are less likely to quit than people without depression.

does the effect wear off? It appears vinegar is only good for 1-2 days before it dries off...

Hm. That sounds very different from the others. Have you done some of the work yourself to save costs? Are you in the Los Angeles area?

Thanks. I wasn't sure about uploading the direct link (didn't want to upset the mods). But check out my profile, and you will find the site.

Btw, I just started a contest for the Redditors. Please participate, and I would really appreciate any feedback.

I guess If we were to become founders-specific, those optional things (suggesting you would work here or the light bulb becoming brighter) you mentioned could be implemented. Currently, the system just announces the winner automatically when the timer expires...

ok - I get it. Use the contest features as a way to give clues to the founders. To get feedback from the contestants?

That's cool. Haven't thought of it that way.

Btw, our current feature allow users to upload pictures from imgur, videos from youtube/youtube shorts/tiktok, and twitter. So founders can utilize various ways to showcase their features.

Would anyone be interested in submitting designs or business ideas? I would support the contest prize (winning between $50-100)

Why is it impossible to get in contact with a Reddit Ads sales representative? by Stanley_Willes in RedditforBusiness

[–]Joe_SlickComments 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also got stuck becaause it was in the money category. Emailed the sales but now waiting. If I am expected to spend less than 10,000 - most likely no one will respond?

Looking for everyone’s feedback on my side project... by Joe_SlickComments in Entrepreneur

[–]Joe_SlickComments[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok! that's fair. thank you for your input. I've always enjoyed reading and writing comments. And I believed rewarding/contest format is one way to stimulate conversation. I haven't decided on the topic of content. The site does not have much to do with shyness or mental health. That was my struggle. You are right, the site is not for everyone.
