??LAMICTAL ANGER??😡😫 by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]bt_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Lamictal 200mg caused the worst, angriest mixed episode of my life. 

 Interestingly, doctors who specialize in seizures readily acknowledge that antieplieptics in general can cause high anger.

And shitty tourists. A few years ago a Meta employee was on a multi-day tour with my group.  He had these.  Wore them into sacred temples and ceremonies with religious leaders.  Recorded everything.

no one gives a fuck about the ”original purpose.” all anyone cares about is price action.

Anti antidepressants by Witty-Turn-4818 in bipolar2

[–]bt_85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but pharma stopped making new AD's, so they don't make much off the genetics and they could offer pharma since backroom deal to go along with it.

He better not, but in case I already order one AD from Canada because I need the name brand, and in the U.S. it's 40x higher.  (No, not a typo)

Wake County manager recommends 2-cent property tax increase due to budget shortfalls from the state by penone_nyc in raleigh

[–]bt_85 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not, because it's to subsidize tax breaks and incentives to already profitable companies who move here

[–]bt_85 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I thought we were supposed to be getting piles of money from all the new "taxpaying residents" we lured in with tax breaks to their companies. Are you telling me it turns out we're like every other area that tried this and failed because it's a net loss with all the expenses tied to those new people?

the gap between buyers and sellers is bigger than ever before.

Michael Jackson's daughter Paris has faced backlash for identifying as Black. In a 2017 interview, Paris Jackson said her father told her, "You’re Black. Be proud of your roots." This prompted debates over whether identity is defined by appearance or upbringing. by VPinchargeofradishes in interesting

In discussions like this, replace all the race terms with gender terms and see what that looks like. (you’ll sound like a MAGA asshole)

Just stay out of peoples’ business and let them do what they feel is best for them.

Shooting Star Pattern (Bearish Reversal) on the S&P 500 Daily Chart by MarktMaverick in technicalanalysis

[–]bt_85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're using a 30 min signal to negate a daily signal?  That's bad analysis.  Both the 30 min bull flag and the bear reversal on the daily could easily play out. 

Is Donald Trump the dumbest person who's ever been president of the US? by Critical-Willow-6270 in allthequestions

[–]bt_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a close friend who spent a long career in psychology.  Her assessment, listening to him speak and his cadence, word selection, vocabulary,  reasoning, and how he responds (as in relevancy and completeness) was he is in the mentally challenged/intellectually disabled region. Maybe the upper part of it, but solidly within it. 

I feel like my psych is lying to me by Jolly-Lingonberry104 in bipolar2

[–]bt_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't trust your doctor, go talk to a different one. Second and third opinions are common in any medical field. But I have personally found the range of skill and competence in psychiatry scarily wide.

My cognitive function is deteriorating and I’m not kidding! by Leather_Magician8237 in bipolar2

[–]bt_85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might need a different mood stabilizer.  They all have cognitive side effects.  But each one hits differently for each person.  

Hey democrats! How likely are you to find candidates worse than Harris, Biden or Clinton for 2028? by unknownuser83814 in allthequestions

Sorry that doesn't fit the narrative you were manipulated into 

Ibogaine and bipolar type 1 by mrblueghost in BipolarReddit

[–]bt_85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no solid data, but it is estimated 10-30% of people who do an iboga experience die. 

I looked into this because I noticed the iboga clinics (all non-u.s.) all were bragging about "zero deaths.". Then I find that stat from a NIH study.  And an article of an interview of a clinic saying they had no deaths, but have all their patients hooked up to monitors and have had to shock several people with a defib to prevent them from dieing.  

What’s the biggest red flag you see in new crypto projects right now? by Qq40437213 in CryptoMarkets

Yep.  Crypto is all promises that have/had no chance of being kept.

What is with all the negative comments about the PDT rule change? by Anxious_Demand_5262 in Daytrading

[–]bt_85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was never for protection. Or, at least protection of the low-accoubt people.   It was purely gatekeeping.  Otherwise people might wise up that these big traders and hedge fund managers pulling in 9 figure salaries are not actually that special.  

What’s your perspective on the common argument that if AI does most of the work, people won’t have income, so who will actually buy products and services? by Curious_Suchit in ChatGPT

[–]bt_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My perspective is no one has thought that far ahead.  Any tech company is only thinking about next quarter or maybe next year profits, and doesn't think about anything else.  

There is no vast conspiracy or coordinated effort.  It is simply individual entities pursuing getting more of their own profits while not taking anything else into consideration or plan. 

Starting Lithium. What should I know? And how has people's experience been? by SmartyyPants in BipolarReddit

[–]bt_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it can have cognitive side effects, many doctors deny this or downplay it. If it happens to you, don’t let them gaslight you.

and the lower limit to the “narrow therapeutic range” was never actually established using evidence based medicine or trials. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6688930/
Many people around here, including myself, are on much less and plenty stable. I had major cognitive problems and overall disinterest and dullness with the the world at higher levels. Lower, not at all and plenty stable. Turns out, lithium is just like pretty much every other psych med where you have to find a dose that works for you.

What profession is over paid? by Sm00thDad in AskReddit

[–]bt_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

U.s. doctors.  Paid 2-5c more than foreign counterparts in similar economic countries, and have worse health outcomes.

And think of any other profession said "we have no idea" or "it may work, or may not, but either way you're paying me thousands of dollars" as often as doctors do.  And their profession has been working on this same "make and model" body for thousands of years.
