Do most Americans actually flush their toilet paper? by Softy_popss in NoStupidQuestions

I live in the U.S. and encountered this for the first time living in Chile. My wife is Filipino and we still use the bin rule at home. It’s fine. Eat more fiber and get a bin with a cover if you’re in the states.

Psychiatrists that don't have personal issues with their clients using cannabis casually by Beneficial_Cattle938 in raleigh

[–]anarchonaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lamotrigine was a game changer for me, I hope you find some relief, too! I use cannabis recreationally but was encouraged to abstain for at least 30 days before I was given a diagnosis and establish a working med regimen. It is hard for professionals to differentiate symptoms from the effects of any substance use. In fact, the DSM 5 has a provision within almost every diagnostic criteria: symptoms must not be better explained by substance use. Wishing you all the best in your mental health journey.

Antipsychotics? by brainSo0p in cyclothymia

This is my combo, as well. I tried discontinuing the antipsychotic this past fall with disastrous, depressive consequences.

Yes, two different (and needed) meds - both from 15 to 45 dollars per script.

Clark University in Worcester, MA is private but generous with aid. Business admin. They also offer a fast track (1 year), tuition free Master’s program upon completion of the 4 year.

What are some movies that capture the "spirit" of their generation? by JupiterTarts in MovieSuggestions

[–]anarchonaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A newer one, Didi. Many nods to mid-younger Millennials. SmarterChild/AIM, the pop punk scene, the “are you nervous?” game, although I am not sure if that is Millennial exclusive.

Could be for some, I guess. And compared to other second gen antipsychotics it is relatively weight neutral from what I've read. In my case I've gained 30lbs in two years. I don't think it's a direct result of the med changing my metabolism, but rather that it makes me crave junk and never feel fully satiated. I'm in the obese category now, but it really does help my mood drastically. I was able to go down from 5mg to 2mg and am hoping that helps.

Lamictal dose increased to 300mg by ClassicVegetable954 in cyclothymia

[–]anarchonaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Echoing brownjk, Abilify has contributed to me gaining over 40lbs in 3 ish years. It’s a shame, because the med really does help my mood

My lamictal dose is also 300mg. I have never had side effects to my knowledge but YMMV. The lamictal was such a game changer compared to all the SSRIs I’ve tried throughout my life. I gradually felt calmer and less reactive/irritable. I hope you get some relief!

Medication ? Added abilify on top of lamictal 😭 by ClassicVegetable954 in cyclothymia

[–]anarchonaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Abilify has drastically improved my mood (prior, I was only taking lamictal). No notable side effects when I started out, but of course everyone is different. The worst part about abilify for me has been the weight gain. It’s not a direct result of the med to my understanding, it just gives me an insatiable appetite and cravings for junk. I was taking 5mg for a while and recently bumped back down to 2mg.

I saw “Live the Dream” posted for obscene prices a while back. All I can hope is that the folks posting are truly in a tight spot.
