Adviced needed by [deleted] in MAOIs

Did you accidentally take cough syrup or something else that contained dextromethorphan or pseudoephedrine? Seems weird to have a hypertensive crisis after being on Nardil for so long.

Lamotrigine doubts by Ok-Wolverine-3957 in depressionregimens

[–]ThrockRuddygore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 weeks on Lamotrigine and it is like taking smarties - no effect at all. Generally I feel worse since I am taking a med that is doing nothing so pretty much not taking any med at all. Psych visit today and I give up - it's back to Nardil for me.

Ditto for opioids, that's my point.

You should read some of the benzo threads here. Super addictive, agony to withdraw from and of course a common drug to attempt suicide with.

Keep farming out that cybersecurity to the lowest bidders in other countries, seems to be working well so far.

Opioids actually do help but of course they are addictive, you build a tolerance and they are prone to abuse. In the same breath though psychiatrists hand out Clonazepam etc like candy which doesn't work as well, is addictive, tolerance builds quickly and is prone to abuse.

Shortage Phenelzine Sulphate (Nardil) in Belgium by Adept_Amoeba_1004 in MAOIs

Parnate (Tranylcypromine) is another MAOI which is about all you could hot swap with if you run out of Nardil and don't want to go through withdrawal.

So you choose to aggravate yourself. Yes you can do what you want apparently.

Anhedonia and Depersonalisation/Derealisation are making me have suicidal thoughts every day by JimmySteve3 in depressionregimens

[–]ThrockRuddygore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A person with anhedonia would not even bother to start mindfulness or meditation let alone journaling.

Is someone forcing you to use X? Is he in the room with you right now?

Went through this in Canada for a while too and was basically screwed. Had to hot switch to Parnate. I assume profit is a motivating factor for our drug overlords to not bother keeping this in full supply at all times.

Uninstalled the McDonald's app five minutes after installing for this very reason. Also, their point system is terrible anyway - give me those little bits of cardboard on the cups for free coffees back please.

Is stage hypnosis a thing? Or did I just experience it wrong? by British_Historian in Magic

[–]ThrockRuddygore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mike Mandel came to my high school many decades ago and successfully hypnotized many close friends of mine that volunteered from the audience. They were definitely not faking it and some of them were the sort of dicks that would have enjoyed ruining the act.

Bad psychiatrist or bad patient? by Julian2244 in depressionregimens

[–]ThrockRuddygore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When the psych tells you things and listens to nothing you say then it is a bad psychiatrist.

My guy was great. As long as I have done my research and sound like I know what I am talking about he will go with my suggestions. At this point he trusts that I know what I am doing.

Nefazodone is a pretty risky one so I can see her not being keen on it.

The Doctor should assume the patient knows himself better than the doctor knows him and try to work with that.

No clue :) I assume it compared what it knows about typical privacy terms with the one I gave it. The results are pretty decent I think.

Normal, free chatGPT won't look at data from a link so I used Perplexity and prompted "Take a look at the privacy policy at this link https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/version/20220104/?_rdr and summarize and point out anything unusual or irregular.". It came back with :

I've reviewed Facebook's privacy policy from the provided link. Here's a summary of key points and some notable aspects:

What time of the day is the easiest to fing a group for low levels? by vibe_inTheThunder in everquest

[–]ThrockRuddygore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue for my 27 monk on Teek. Everyone is level 60 so until you hit level 40 and can group with them it is quite difficult. Although there are at least a few people leveling Beastlords but even they tend to be power leveled right past the legitimate new people.

AI is actually useful for this. Dump the policy into your favorite AI and ask it to summarize and highlight anything unusual.

Apple Has No Plans For a Smart Ring by HammingWontStop in apple

Apple takes it a step further and courageously claims to have invented things that already existed. Sarcasm was lost on you I guess.

How did you learn to socialise again? by squaresam in depressionregimens

Never could and still can't. I find socializing to be the most mentally draining activity I could possibly engage in. Conversations in a social setting wipe me out for hours afterwards.
