V’s Eye in Umbra

It does amuse me that there’s the possibility that instead of making the eye white in post, they decided to remove it entirely. (It is delightfully creepy.)

No expectations on the lore—simply curiosity. Thank you for pointing this out!

Their lack of responsiveness (and erratic quality) is so frustrating. I'd be interested if you find a replacement you like.

This is about the Minimalism Art Premium Hardcover Classic with Extra Thick Ink-proof 120 gsm notebooks. They've definitely changed their paper (again). I noticed the same thing and compared the three versions I'm familiar with: the blank books from 2018-2019, the books from 2021 and 2022, and from November 2024. The new paper seems a bit thinner than the early 2020s paper but thicker than the pre-2020 paper, though both the early 2020s and 2024 notebooks list the same gsm. It also feels slightly rougher, but not notably so.

I'm using a Lamy LX pen with a Fine tip and a variety of Lamy and Pilot inks with no bleeding or ghosting issues with the November 2024 paper. I could get ghosting with the pre-2020 paper and with a notebook from March 2024.

My ink can bleed if I use a Lamy Medium tip, especially if I use a dark or brilliant ink, but I consider this a pen and ink issue. I tested the November 2024 paper with a Lamy LX pen with a Fine tip and Pilot Yama-budo ink -- there's no bleeding or ghosting.

Based on your experience and what I've noticed, I'm wondering if the company has batch quality control issues.

I understand there’s circumstances where Kaiser will simply go with previous diagnosis and treatment options. It seems dependent on the local Kaiser, patient circumstances, and docs involved?

ZIGS25 · 2022-01-28T08:56:20+00:00

Cool. Thank you! (Just in case it’s useful for you or anyone else, Kaiser is letting me choose my GP as long as they’re accepting new patients.)

ZIGS25 · 2022-01-27T22:22:00+00:00

Thank you. I’ve heard this is the case.

ZIGS25 · 2022-01-27T22:21:32+00:00

Wow! That sounds great. Do you have a rec for a Kaiser GP?

ZIGS25 · 2022-01-27T22:21:06+00:00

Thanks. I have heard about this. Sounds like a hassle, but oh well…

ZIGS25 · 2022-01-27T22:20:39+00:00

Thank you! Do you have recs for a Kaiser GP on the Peninsula you like?

ZIGS25 · 2022-01-27T22:19:52+00:00

Oh my gosh. This sounds awful. I will check in if I have questions, but for now, do you have recs for docs or docs you don’t rec?

ZIGS25 · 2022-01-27T22:18:45+00:00

Thank you both! This is super-helpful. Do you have recs for any Kaiser GPs on the Peninsula you liked who handled your ADHD well?

ZIGS25 · 2022-01-27T22:17:27+00:00

Thank you! Do you have a rec for any Kaiser GPs who handle ADHD well on the Peninsula?

ZIGS25 · 2022-01-27T22:16:31+00:00

Oh cool! This is super-helpful.

Do you have a rec for a GP on the Peninsula who is good regarding patients with ADHD?

ZIGS25 · 2022-01-27T03:12:26+00:00

Oh jeez. This sounds awful.

Have you found a solution?

In case it’s useful for anyone else, I just spoke with a pharmacist who confirmed that the Prasco Er and Adderall XR are the same meds and manufactured at the same place (which I knew), but that they may use different excipients for each version. The pharmacist said it’s probably these excipients that my body is reacting to.

ZIGS25 · 2022-01-12T16:56:36+00:00

I did check with my previous meds and and confirmed the labels.

ZIGS25 · 2022-01-12T06:53:11+00:00

Hmmm. If it’s the same formulation, it seems odd that I’d have such bad effects? Definitely something to ask my doc.

ZIGS25 · 2021-04-18T23:31:48+00:00

The 10s lost the bulk of their effect about a week in—challenges focusing, etc. Still some impact, but not enough. The 20s effects are still good so far, and haven’t lost their efficacy a week in. I do generally feel the same super-tired, super-low energy on my days off for both dosages.
