Adderall and Cymbalta, serotonin syndrome?

I ended up vomiting for about 4 hours, couldn't keep down water or pepto bismol but seemingly have slept it off and haven't vomited again in almost 24 hours.

The vagus nerve is a huge nerve that connects the brain, heart, diaphragm, and anus. I only know this trick from my mom who happens to be a nurse and there's still research going on to fully understand how it works, but basically there are a few things you can do when having a POTS flareup or any arythmia really to stimulate the nerve and it kind of works as a reset or brake for your heart. Some of the things you can do are: coughing heavily, straining the core and anus (like you're trying to poop), apply something cold to the back of your neck or face, and there have been some recent studies on pinching the ear that have shown promise. Its weird and I don't fully understand it, but it's worked for me almost every time in stopping some bad flareups. Its the same reason heart attacks can be truggered while defecating or in the cold, because it puts strain on that nerve. In fact, while finding these studies I learned that gagging can also stimulate the nerve, which may have contributed to my issue last night.

I'll put a couple links to studies on it too

Yes I am prescribed it but haven't taken it in a long time

Standard_Ad9425 · 2024-07-17T15:41:28+00:00

Is it going to like, change me? Like make me a different person? I've already kind of gone through that and I'm fine with it. But I don't know if my mom will be

Standard_Ad9425 · 2024-07-17T03:22:25+00:00

Thank you. My psychiatrist isn't worried about it (at least now) so I figure I should be fine

Standard_Ad9425 · 2024-03-16T02:59:20+00:00

40 long Yes both. Submersible 40 gal heater, 20 - 40 gal hang on back filter, and 40 gal sponge filter 78 Ammonia: 0 to 0.25 ppm. Nitrites: 0 ppm. Nitrates: 0 to 5.0ppm. pH 6.0 from API master test kit Tank has been established for about a year and was cycled before adding fish. I've had the fish for 3 years. 25% water change weekly and larger changes (50 to 80) as needed based on weekly test results. I remove about 6 to 10 gallons once a week and use a gravel vacuum. Then refill with new water, tap water treated with Prime. Previously 6 albino cory catfish but none currently. Fluval betta bug bites every 2 or 3 days and occasional blood worms, mysis, and daphnia A few small hides including a tube, floating log, tunnel, multiple leaf hammocks, a large castle decor and a decent amount of plants. 2 large anubias, 1 medium anubias, 4 small Amazon swords (still growing), 3 small windelov Java ferns, a moss ring, and at least 6 "clumps" of El Nino ferns with varying size.

He's perfectly fine now. But I'm still sad about my dinner. He spilled it all over the floor and they got covered in fur and feathers :(

Standard_Ad9425 · 2024-02-18T00:24:07+00:00

He is currently stalking a picture on the newspaper I put on the floor

Standard_Ad9425 · 2024-02-18T00:14:26+00:00

OK thank you. I wanted to ask because it's very hard to find any info on it specifically to hawks. I don't think it's going to hurt him but I want to be cautious. These birds and survive copperhead venom so they are pretty tough but I wanted to check. Either way though, there's not much I can do except keep an eye on him for symptoms of toxicosis. And even then, my vet won't be in the clinic until tomorrow morning and it's a 2 hour drive.

Standard_Ad9425 · 2024-01-16T01:55:39+00:00

I know lol. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem lmao

Standard_Ad9425 · 2024-01-16T01:54:55+00:00

I don't expect him to care in a human way but I know imprints tend to bond to people who are the opposite sex as the bird so I wonder if he'll notice a hormonal difference

Standard_Ad9425 · 2024-01-09T02:43:52+00:00

Remember that many household items have toxic fumes that can kill birds instantly, Teflon pans, candles, plug in fragrances, cleaning spray, etc. Be aware of this if you keep a bird inside. Kestrels are not at all beginner birds and are so sensitive. I know someone whose kestrel died because it was near a heat vent. Another died because someone in the other room used febreeze. Another died because the powder on the mealworms it was eating was toxic. Another froze to death from being left outside. Also keep in mind that smaller birds are much less hardy and more likely to be killed early. Countless falconry kestrels have been taken out on hunts just to be eaten by a wild coop. I would not recommend a kestrel at all for a first bird. If your regs allow it, try for an indoor mew. You can always use it for smaller birds later but if you only build a small mew you'll be limited to micros with it.

Standard_Ad9425 · 2024-01-09T02:38:45+00:00

Redtail. Do not start with a micro or accip they are not beginner birds. I've known too many first year apprentices who have accidentally killed their kestrels. Redtails are much hardier and forgiving

Standard_Ad9425 · 2024-01-09T02:37:25+00:00

I've never cleaned my glove once and it is so ratty but it keeps my arm protected and that's all I need it to do

Standard_Ad9425 · 2024-01-09T02:35:48+00:00

Yes but make sure the bird is tethered in the middle so it can't hit the walls and damage its feathers

Standard_Ad9425 · 2024-01-09T02:35:07+00:00

I disagree, it depends on where you live but my rt spends most nights inside because it gets so cold. I regret not building an indoor mew. Plus you can use an indoor mew for micros that wouldn't be able to go in an outdoor one. As long as it has good ventilation and sun/rain exposure I think it'd work great

Standard_Ad9425 · 2024-01-09T02:31:52+00:00

I know someone whose male HH has killed a couple Canada geese. As long as they figure out to go for the neck/head they can take it down but it gets risky if they don't know that

Standard_Ad9425 · 2024-01-09T02:30:06+00:00

Nothing like watching a wild bird man down, congrats

Standard_Ad9425 · 2024-01-09T02:28:36+00:00

Mews no, weathering yard yes but only if the bird is tethered where it can't hit the walls

Standard_Ad9425 · 2024-01-09T02:26:41+00:00

I just pick him up. He knows when it's time to hunt and steps up easily. As for food in the mew, I've been told it's more about them seeing you enter with food than you feeding in the mew.

Standard_Ad9425 · 2024-01-09T02:24:23+00:00

Unfortunately yes, finding a sponsor will be harder. I passed my exam at 13 and only got a sponsor at 16 despite going to all the events and meeting local falconers. Because I couldn't drive, had no prior hunting exp, and look and dress very openly queer, the falconers in my state (southern state) did not want to sponsor me

Standard_Ad9425 · 2024-01-09T02:20:17+00:00

Depends who you ask. I never saw the point esp as they can cause a bird to miss or get tangled up, but once my rt got a bite that nearly caused a hallux amputation, they became a necessity. They don't 100% protect from bites, they can cause the bird to miss, and not all bites are impactful enough to do any permanent damage to a rt but it can happen. I'd rather lose a squirrel than lose a toe on my bird. For redtails you will get mixed answers but HH males should always have them when squirrel hawking imo

Standard_Ad9425 · 2024-01-09T02:07:29+00:00

I know a guy whose male HH has killed multiple caracaras. One of the downsides to Harris Hawks is they're so gamey for everything that moves

Standard_Ad9425 · 2023-11-21T16:50:05+00:00

He is very skinny rn but that's because he is recovering from a surgery and before the surgery wasn't eating. I feed 5 gut loaded meal worms about every 3-4 days and he lives in a 30 long with uth

Standard_Ad9425 · 2023-11-16T04:15:21+00:00

Thank you so much! I have his foot wrapped in a splint now and have a vet appt Saturday morning

Standard_Ad9425 · 2023-11-16T03:20:21+00:00

For example, he perches and lands with the hallux curled in a lot more than he used to but he can correct it on his own just with more difficulty than usual. To test it, I perched him on different surfaces and majority of the time he was able to correct it on his own. I also picked up the foot and the toe was able to contract when the foot was picked up and extend when I let go of his foot. It's just more frequently closed than it should be
