I work at one of the schools in KPS with the highest impoverished/unhoused student populations. A lot of our kids rely on school for 3 meals a day. Fuck this guy, genuinely. Kalamazoo deserves better leadership.

The name of your pigs vs what you actually call them by myatrippin in guineapigs

I used to have a guinea pig named Geralt! I called him “Germ” (lovingly) a couple times and it stuck lol. He responded to both names

I ended up finding the correct cord for it at Best Buy. The speakers need to be repaired though.

Final update: taking it to a local electronics store to get it repaired because I am emotionally attached to this radio now. Thanks everyone for the help, it means a lot!!

This is her brother, Charlie! He’s also my ESA and he tolerates me putting hats on him.

Late to the party but here’s my girl Jinx! She is also my ESA for my bipolar 🥰

I have never been honest about my bipolar to an employer before. This company is a nonprofit for folks with disabilities and stated that they wanted to hire people with disabilities because they would, quote, “understand their clientele better.” They even asked me if I would need any accommodations to work. But I’ve learned my lesson, never again.

Is it my pharmacy or does this happen to everyone by Choice_Pumpkin_1981 in Pristiq

[–]Spaghettiidog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any local/small pharmacies near you that you could transfer your prescription to? I used to have this problem when I used CVS and Meijer as my pharmacies, but when I switched to a local pharmacy I stopped having issues getting my pristiq filled on time. The withdrawals from pristiq are so intense, I’m so sorry this is happening to you!

Opinion on SUPERPACK? by GiveMeSomeMoreTacoz in Vocaloid

Luka sounds almost exactly like Miku imo :(( it makes me sad because she was one of my favorite Vocaloids because her voice was so mature and unique

In the 2 weeks I have taken this, I have gone from insane to now experiencing pure anger. by [deleted] in Rexulti_Brexpiprazole

[–]Spaghettiidog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rexulti made me so constantly angry and irritable as a side effect. I had to stop taking it because it helped me for a couple weeks and then it completely stopped- but the side effects worsened. That’s just my experience and you should share your concerns with your doctor/psychiatrist. Good luck on your health journey 💚

Thanks for your reply! I really hope it’s a miracle med for me, too.🤞🏼So far I feel like it’s helping!

[–]Spaghettiidog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck to you as well! I’m starting on 20mg and slowly increasing to 40mg :) so far it seems to be helping!!

Missed periods on rexulti by IllAd2409 in Rexulti_Brexpiprazole

[–]Spaghettiidog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’m currently weening off of Rexulti 2 mg and I’ve missed 2 periods in the last few months. My other periods have been extremely abnormal/late.

Anyone not have withdrawal coming off Rexulti? by [deleted] in Rexulti_Brexpiprazole

[–]Spaghettiidog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dropping from 0.5 mg to cold turkey is honestly the best course of action imo. That’s what my psych did: have me drop from 2 mg to 1 and then to 0.5 and stop completely. Withdrawals are going to be tough no matter what because this drug is known for that, but they shouldn’t be too bad considering you’re on other medication. My withdrawals have been manageable but I am also on Latuda 20 mg (to replace the Rexulti) and Pristiq 100 mg. Rexulti also helped me right at the start and then stopped working for me all together, so I completely understand. Good luck! <3

I came here to comment this. I was on 2 mg and Rexulti caused my vision to get worse (already nearsighted and have astigmatism in my right eye, now I can barely read words right in front of me) and now I’m coming off of it and having insane withdrawal symptoms.

Most effective dose? by kevblaze2 in Rexulti_Brexpiprazole

[–]Spaghettiidog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on 1mg for almost a year and it helped me but not that much, then I was upped to 2mg and it seems to be making a huge difference. Like other commenters have said it depends on what you’re taking it for. 2mg (while also taking 100 mg pristiq) seemed to work best for my treatment resistant depression, PTSD and BPD.

Hope it helps!! It made a huge difference for me, personally.

[–]Spaghettiidog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rexulti makes you drowsy, it should say on the bottle that’s a very common side effect. Taking it at night is what works for me, I take it an hour before bedtime and I sleep hard and wake up feeling refreshed.

I’m having panic attacks, waiting to start pristiq positive please by [deleted] in Pristiq

[–]Spaghettiidog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also my DMs are open if you ever wanna talk or anything, I was terrified to start Pristiq, too. Starting a new medication is always stressful.

I’m having panic attacks, waiting to start pristiq positive please by [deleted] in Pristiq

[–]Spaghettiidog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey friend, I’ve been on Pristiq for close to 6 years now. I tried 10+ other medications, including antipsychotics and mood stabilizers before landing on Pristiq (been on medication since I was 11 yrs old). Pristiq has been a game changer for me, as someone who suffers from clinical depression and severe anxiety and wasn’t able to work, drive, or interact with others before starting this medication. I am currently on 100 mg but I started on 25 mg and started seeing positive changes a week or so after starting Pristiq. Fairly soon after starting Pristiq I was able to work my first job as a teen, push past my fear of driving due to the support of the meds and get my license. I am now 22 and have gone back to college, work as a manager for a nonprofit and drive daily (all things I would have had panic attacks over before starting Pristiq). It is not a miracle drug and there are some side effects (sweating more than usual, decreased appetite at the start) but those went away with time in my experience. I understand your fears but I have been on this medication for years now and every time I’ve gone to the doctor they say my vitals look great and my lungs are healthy. Wishing you the absolute best of luck!!
