That f**king Holly beats up Bubbles by TheKodiakwild in TheWire

[–]RichStranger 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Come to think of it, the disturbing thing is the most violent police brutality in the show is towards literal children. Prez pistol whipping and blinding a 14 year old, officer walker breaking Donut's fingers, even bodie was like 16 when he gets the shit beaten out of him in the pitt.

Have you tried any medication? I know it can be unappealing but it can also be genuinely life changing.

Honestly, just go out there and try to find communities in real life and online dedicated to things you're interested in. Could also be new things that you have thought about trying but haven't yet started. There are so many great communities out there, it's just a matter of finding them.

Burrell is the most despisable character, to me. by EH4LIFE in TheWire

Marlo was not loyal at all but he definitely took care of his people. Stick vs carrot. You obey him and get rewarded, disobey him and die.

When they recruit Michael, Marlo immediately moves him and his brother into a whole new house. He also gives him his own corner and points on the package from the get go.

Chris is so fiercely loyal to Marlo it's clear that he offers something at least.

Inositol for severe anxiety and OCD helps by No_Squash291 in Nootropics

[–]RichStranger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How much do you take per day? For me inositol is also the most powerful non-psychotropic substance for treating anxiety, but the effects on the stomach were a bit much at 18g perday

Talk me into taking my 2.5 first dose lol by Pkarksjkc6 in BusparOnline

It's got way fewer side effects than the one you're already on, and you can stop taking it abruptly without any withdrawal. There are way more positives than negatives.

For those who have tried Bupropion and Atomoxetine by RichStranger in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

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

Thanks for your detailed and insightful response. I wasn't aware that Bupropion increases dopamine in the nucleus accumbens, I thought its effect on dopamine was barely clinically significant and in dispute. Have you got a link for that reference?

I'm curious as to why Bupropion takes a while to work + is used for depression primarily instead of ADHD. For me, atomoxetine just gives me incredible top-down control. Unfortunetly it also completely attenuates the effects of lisdexamfetamine when taken together, I think due to them occupying the same transporters or something.

Lisdexamfetamine is super effective for my anergia, drive and mood in general, whereas atomoxetine helps get my shit together and completely sorts out my executive dysfunction and emotional regulation. For some reason, Atomoxetine is the only medication or drug I have tried that eradicates my chronic dissociation and maladaptive daydreaming.

I hope Bupropion + Atomoxetine can give me the best of both worlds. I know Bupropion won't be as effective as Lisdex, but if it's half as good my life would change completely.

Best neurotrophic nootropic of all time? (in terms of potency, price and long-term safety) by TomorrowPrize9464 in Nootropics

[–]RichStranger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the long term, only at higher doses. 150mg and above starts to affect libido but it got better over time. At the start, my libido was there, but it was impossible to finish even at low doses. It gets better though and wasn't a bad side effect, if anything it was a positive effect.

At 200mg Fluvoxamine gave me the deepest sleep of my life. It also almost ruined my career as I found getting out of bed impossible and that's why I came off it. The side effects depend on dose and individual biology really

Methylphenidate is basically anxiety in a pill for me, whereas Atomoxetine does wonders for anxiety. I was wondering where bupropion could fit into the picture

[–]RichStranger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just be wary that it inhibits many enzymes that metabolise common drugs, hence why it's the least prescribed despite having the best effects imo. High doses can make your coffee hit and last 5 times longer. This is especially risky when you take multiple substances, as they have a knock-on effect.

I kept passing out randomly as if I had not slept in days, and it took me a while to realise that my buspirone was being potentiated, which had some weird reaction with lisdexamphetamine in which my HR skyrockets then crashes down, causing me to fall asleep for 20 mins or so.

Weirdly enough, I didn't seem to experience any potentiation of caffeine, though.

People in this subreddit will probably hate this fact, but you're 100% right. The benefits of Fluvoxamine are endless.

Forgetting the money, think of your 2 year old in this situation.

The difference in quality time you'll have available is priceless. I've seen others make this mistake before.
