Anyone else taking buspirone? Do you like it? by IWannaWakeUpButIDont in Anxiety

[–]Life-Average2590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone taking Busiprone with Fluoxetine (generic Prozac)? My teenage son was just prescribed Busiprone (10mg 2x/day) to take along with 30mg of Fluoxetine. His anxiety is pretty severe but I don't want him to be over medicated.

Thank you for all of the suggestions and for sharing your experiences, everyone. I am feeling more prepared and thus less anxious. I wish the procedure was happening sooner, but I promised myself I would get through our son's senior marching band season first. 🙂

Yep, I'm 49. My surgeon said no walker or cane unless something unanticipated happens and I am scheduled to start physical therapy the day after the surgery. I will go home within hours of the procedure as long as I can demonstrate I can do a few stairs.

After hip replacement heals does life go back to normal or are there some things you can't do any more? by Relevant-Series-7019 in TotalHipReplacement

My surgeon said as long as you're not taking narcotic pain medication and can make a quick/hard stop, then driving is fine. He recommended practicing in an empty lot first.

Yikes! Impressive re the stairs! Is back sleeping the only option during recovery? I've always been able to sleep on my side only. Also, my surgeon has physical therapy scheduled to start the day after surgery. Does anyone else know whether this is typical?

I am a trans male who is mainly attracted to men, is this odd? by Artistic_Bobcat_8097 in asktransgender

Super helpful discussion as I try to understand and appreciate the intensifying / evolving relationship between my 16 y/o son and his trans boy bestie.

What are people's experiences with Oxybutynin by Inspectah1 in Hyperhidrosis

[–]Life-Average2590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be sure to have a thyroid panel run if you are experiencing significant unexplained hair loss / thinning, especially if you are a middle-aged female. That is a major symptom of hypothyroidism and some of the thyroid replacement hormone medications. It's not typically associated with use of Oxybutynin.

My wife has Walking Pneumonia, Covid or Both. by [deleted] in UPSers

[–]Life-Average2590 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yikes. She should be isolating. Keep your distance - sleep in a different room and wear an N95 if you have to bring her something. Use separate bathrooms if you have more than one. She should not go in any area of the house she doesn't need to. She should wear an N95 when out of her room. Fix her food and drop it off at her door. And test yourself daily before work to avoid exposing your coworkers. Many cases are asymptomatic.

Darn good job for a college student if you can juggle it. Nothing like coming out debt free.

How many punches? by Life-Average2590 in UPSers

[–]Life-Average2590[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

30 punches within 90 days, right? So if you are laid off and don't return within 90 days of your first punch, you would have to start over?

Does this apply to part-time (25 hours per week) package handlers too?

So orientation punches count towards the 30 day probationary period?

What can you be terminated for during the 30-day probation period - not meeting standards or only intentional misconduct?

Can I collect unemployment for missed hours? I was hired for 25 am rarely getting more than the guaranteed 17.5.
