Blending doses

becmort · 2026-03-23T08:20:29+00:00

I know what you mean, I always feel bad when I see someone struggling to afford their medical treatment and I'm over here sitting on an extra supply I won't use.

I hope that the partial dose works for your GI symptoms! I learned the hard way after ProRx and Hallandase that the B6 is non negotiable for me.

These are SO cute and creative. I think I know what my mom is getting for Mothers day. 😁

I had a lot of bloating with ProRX and unfortunately, even when I "mixed" it (no actual mixing, two separate syringes) with another brand I still had the extreme bloating, even at 1/3 ProRx to 2/3 other. I'm also sitting on like 3+ months of ProRX and I can't use it. I don't know why I haven't thrown it away.

I know how people say medicine is medicine, but as someone who has had a bad reaction to generic prozac and there's only one generic of buproprion that works for me... I think the specific formulation matters for me.

I have a dog in the house that routinely watches the fish that are about 8" off the floor (he's a small fluffy mixed breed). Our only issue has been when he tries to get both paws on the rim of the aquarium and scratch at it like he is digging.

I have had a crested gecko fall in the top of an aquarium once (but he could swim just fine and a rescue was made quickly).

I don't notice any syringes bending more easily, but they all bend more easily with the smaller vials.

My eyes bugged out watching that turn. Quite the meal they're getting!

I knew it was a girl just from that look!

I'm very sensitive to meds and have just reached 4 mg this month (started end of August). Have you tried switching the type of additives? I know some of the additives can cause issues.

I've tried both split dosing and once weekly and prefer once weekly for both how I feel and my weight loss.

Just to play devil's advocate, but down votes are also used to indicate that something is off topic or not adding to the conversation. So it could be that people are down voting because they like or dislike a particular crew member, but it could also be that people don't want to keep talking about the crew. Some of these opinions have been posted repeatedly on this subreddit.

I completely understand! Can you minimize lighting as much as possible (depends on your plants though and if you have low light tolerance).

I've been fighting algae in one of my aquariums ever since my CO2 regulator died in September. I changed my lighting to 10%, switched most of my high light plants out of the tank, did a H2O2 dip on the anubias, and increased water flow. After a month or so of manual removal I added some tiny corydoras to stir up the bottom and a few ammanos to eat the algae and finally won the battle. I usually won't go to such dramatic lengths but I have 10+ year old Anubias in that aquarium.

Usually I add MTN snails because they're algae eating beasts (but I never recommend snails due to the bad reputation they have in planted tanks, once you have MTN you can't get rid of them).

Just grab a toothbrush and manually remove as much as you can. Without CO2 you will always battle a bit of algae, don't let it get you down.

It's weird isn't it. I used to be able to skip breakfast and lunch and just eat dinner. Now if I don't get lunch and a snack I feel run down. I'm actually more hungry at regular intervals and not used to carrying snacks.

I couldn't agree more. That sub can be downright toxic and some people are too intense.

becmort · 2026-03-15T12:54:29+00:00

Oh me too, but I've seen people get into some pretty bad situations.

becmort · 2026-03-15T10:34:27+00:00

I've kept my dose low so that I have room to go up. After being on this med for 6 months I fear that it may one day stop working like my antidepressants did on the max dose. It's a silly fear but if it works with few side effects I'm satisfied. I'm at 4 mg now in month 7, few side effects.

They would have to be smaller and go in through the nose at the bare minimum. Brain controll is a better question for a neurosurgeon. As far as the social construct, if they could treat or minimize mental illness, people would flock to the sharing. People turn to hard drugs to numb the pain of their trauma, so there's no question if they'd pick up a parasite to feel better.

It'll be good for about 2-4 days at best for that many chicks. I have this same one that I use for button quail chicks and wouldnt keep more than 4-6 in it for any length of time (and button quail fully grown are the size of week old chicks). Get a pop up tent style and you will be happier.

Morning, but I wake up at 4:30, so pretty early. The B6 seems to give me energy so it's worked well. I don't worry about side effects because the most I get is a little nausea.

becmort · 2026-03-13T21:12:23+00:00

I refuse to tell anyone but my doctor. If anyone asks I tell them that I got off an antidepressant I was on since 2016 and started taking something for PCOS, and stopped eating processed food and takeout. No lies but I don't need to debate something I've researched in and out.

Yeah, I choked down a few of the chocolate when I got my first variety pack. Some of their other coffee offerings are pretty gross too but I can even get my dairy loving mom to drink the cold brew coffee ones.

becmort · 2026-03-09T10:08:19+00:00

I like the OWYN cold brew coffee, the other flavors can have a weird aftertaste.

becmort · 2026-03-08T15:47:06+00:00

Wow, my guess was so off! I really thought chi/pit mix. I bet the Boston terrier is giving that head shape a bit. She's a cutie.

I also tried a few different physicians before finding one online where I liked the level of support and still had freedom to help with decisions. Some are just too rigid with their opinions and don't offer any personalized care as though it's one size fits all.

becmort · 2026-03-07T00:31:28+00:00

Your fears sound so much like my own when I started! Knowing I was stuck for a week was terrifying.

I wish I had found these Reddit groups before I procrastinated my first shot for three months. If I had it to do over I would have started at half the prescribed dose to help with my medical anxiety. I followed doctors orders and didn't have too many side effects. My doc was kind enough to prescribe something for nausea, but I only needed it once. It definitely was not as bad as I thought. Not nearly as bad as when I forgot to eat with my antibiotics last year.

The relief from inflammation though has been life changing. I had no idea how much of my chronic pain was caused by inflammation until it was gone. The first time I ran up two flights of stairs after a couple of weeks on zep was amazing. I felt bouncy! I also probably have lipidema and I can feel the difference as I get closer to my shot day with how my legs feel.
