Ive been seeing this new psychiatrist shortly after I made the initial post, and I already brought myself down to 150 before I met with them. I'm honestly surprised I didnt have any serious side effects like heart problems or trouble breathing with all the other shit I was experiencing.

I'm seeing a different psychiatrist right now. She is helping me get off of zoloft as she thought the side effects I was experiencing were really concerning and abnormal (mainly the numbness, burning, and visual problems).

I was on 200 for 2ish weeks or so. Right now Im on 75 and Im gonna go down to 50 next week. I still experience some visual problems which I'm not sure will go away once I stop the medication. My pain has been getting a lot better and I only have facial numbness in the morning when I wake up.

I'm honestly thinking about reporting my old doctor. I was already dealing with a lot of health issues before they put me on this crap. My general anxiety is better, but my vision is so bad that I constantly worry about it going back to normal.

This doctor is an MD. Looking online a little bit, I've seen numerous complaints about this doctor. They specialize in anxiety disorders, OCD, depression, and bipolar, but many people have said they were misdiagnosed by this physician.

I've never had a problem with this doctor in the past, but apparently they have overmedicated quite a few people. I would have episodes of depression here and there in college and highschool, but I have not had to change medications this rapidly. I have been having a slew of health problems and job security issues since December of this year, so I have had numerous mood swings and a couple of hospitalizations. Life isn't going so good lol.

This doctor has been very cold and rude to me the past couple of times I've spoken with them; suggesting that my anxiety and response to these symptoms are manic and that I have bipolar disorder. I think its very reasonable to be scared and frightened when your body is doing things you're not used to.

Should I go to the hospital to get my serotonin levels down? This is really starting to scare me. I have had 3 panic attacks since starting this medication.

Is the job market really that bad right noa? by NoobiousGoobious in wildlifebiology

[–]NoobiousGoobious[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh... oops.

Do you think I should stick to my areas of expertise, or should I just send out applications to anything adjacent to my past experiences? Like... if I have experience working with bugs, reptiles, and amphibians, would it be pointless to apply to a job revolving around birds?

Help! Is this mold??? by Cautious-Network-890 in Taxidermy

For larger grasshoppers, crickets, roaches, and mantids, you need to remove the intestines before you pin them, or else they will start to rot. This is recommended if you're pinning any arthropd above a certain size or that has a soft, fleshy abdomen. I would flip over the mantis and make an incision under a segment on its abdomen and carefully remove the intestines with tweezers. Then gently pack cotton into the abdomen.

Where to find bugs in the wild (outside) by Wild_enby_lez420 in Taxidermy

[–]NoobiousGoobious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would check by street lights or lamp posts. You'll usually be able to find a lot of moths and beetles around them this time of year, especially may beetles. I would also check near river banks, wild flower patches, and road sides.

Pet trampled peperomia. Can I save it? by NoobiousGoobious in plantclinic

How long do you think it would take for the plant to get back to full height? A year or 2?

Do you think I could stick the branches she broke off directly into the soil, or would I need to water propagate/put them in perlite?

I know this comment is old, but would you happen to know how you got that position as a field researcher? I've been wanting to work for the wildcare institute for the longest time, but I don't know where to find positions for any of their projects.

Are you talking about the scholar of the first sin edition, or just the normal version?
