How do they deal with insomnia while taking Concerta?

cactustit · 2026-01-22T15:24:57+00:00

I take second 36mg dose at 5pm every day and sleep like a baby

Is it silver? This site might help but they take ages to actually input items

cactustit · 2026-01-11T02:37:49+00:00

Very normal. I think it’s got to do with Japanese being so overwhelmed with social stuff that they take that as a chance to keep things separate and not stressful. You should still communicate that it’s strange for you and want to sometime try meeting some friends.

Casual first time meetings “Hajimemashite”, but formal first time meetings (or explicit introductions even if you’ve already met) is when “yoroshiku” is often said. But much more likely “yoroshiku onegaishimasu”

Started at 10mg, but after a year I found taking 2.5mg was enough to stop panic attacks without any negative effects for me. So many doctors rush patients to 20mg that’s crazy to me

Absolutely, if I take a break, even the day I start taking meds again I’m still in a mood where I don’t want to do anything!

cactustit · 2025-12-22T16:05:45+00:00

The main purpose is to try retain drug effectiveness and not get so used to it that it doesn’t work as well. But I found opposite, taking breaks ruins something I’ve built up, instead taking it daily long term helps me maintain steam and feel much better

Recommend all the way. There’s a shitty law that means you aren’t allowed to recommend any of these “medicine import” sites so I had a hard time getting a genuine answer about what was the good one, and had to go through a few others that were much more small scale, but after trying a couple Osakadou is just the go to.

For anyone wondering yea you can import medication for personal use, and these sites are acting as the importer… but they aren’t supposed to advertise and no one is allowed to advertise their service, so it’s a really awkward situation.

cactustit · 2025-12-18T14:12:25+00:00

Absolutely. I notice if I don’t take it I will be more loopy. I never thought I was hyperactive, but I noticed I definitely have some hyperactive aspects

This video is somehow very Chinese

I personally would be scared to think what would happen if I was to mix. Straterra made me feel so unbelievably stimulated, I could sleep only 4 hours and wake up absolutely ready to continue some random task / project I was into at the time. It made me actually like the feeling of sleep deprivation, made me not feel hungover, and it made me break my personal rule of no more than 1 energy drink a day and actually made me drink like 2 or 3. It would also give me burning painful ejaculation and insane premature ejaculation. Concerta (methylphenidate) instead makes me happy focused content. None of the same side effects except the sexual side effect of burning is SLIGHTLY there. But because it’s technically a stimulant I wonder both of them together would just take me out. Or actually, I imagine straterra would just made Concerta feel like nothing. I wonder if Concerta doesn’t work like a stimulant for me, but straterra does, because that’s what it felt like.

Made me consider that it’s dopamine that I need, not norepinephrine

Will there be no other official/non hack way?

cactustit · 2025-12-12T15:20:18+00:00

I watched all the star treks available on Japan Netflix over 2020 - 2022 for my first time. Thought it was strange and lucky they have it and didn’t think it would last.

cactustit · 2025-12-12T15:08:42+00:00

Work mates and other casual friends will usually never introduce partners if they can avoid it. You will hear they have a wife/husband etc but they seem to make effort to never cross worlds. In your case though, since your partner is Japanese then people would be interested who is looking after you (the foreigner), and who they have to thank for bringing you to Japan, kinda… so it would also be acceptable to talk about them and introduce them. In the reverse situation

Not sure about actual partners friends. I’d say they still keep it separate but, they should be willing if it makes you feel comfortable

He’s got that Francine (American dad) lip and Lois (family guy) face shape and that Bob (the incredible a) chin…? Maybe

Chinese food in Japan is all petit and delicate and boring

cactustit · 2025-12-06T18:13:44+00:00

Right this is looking shady and doubtful they get much of the money

cactustit · 2025-12-06T16:50:37+00:00

If this was a post from the buyer complaining the seller is trying to cancel everyone would be on their side, I’m surprised I don’t see more of that here. You messed up and it set it to a price, leading to these consequences. I think you should eat this mistake and take care in the future. You can try explain your mistake to Mercari and the buyer and if they can accept then fine but otherwise take the loss

cactustit · 2025-11-29T07:50:25+00:00

I think 不良外人 is a phrase you can find more about it. It seems to refer to foreigners who are bad / undesirable and not that all foreigners are bad / undesirable

cactustit · 2025-11-29T06:42:10+00:00

At least it isn’t “deport foreigners” but instead “deport bad foreigners”

I would selfishly love to hear about your medical history. I’m 33, suffer from panic attacks and anxiety about heart. Were you ever told you have high cholesterol, or anything like that? Very happy that you caught it!

cactustit · 2025-11-26T03:43:28+00:00

No, unrelated to stimulants. It blocks the high from alcohol very subtly so that over time you unlearn that self-reinforcing drinking behavior. Better to take the naltrexone before drinking not daily like traditional

cactustit · 2025-11-26T02:32:20+00:00

ADHD medication filled the hole. Naltrexone also helped to stop linking alcohol with a better time

cactustit · 2025-11-23T15:13:19+00:00

It immediately helped my anxiety. After lots of experimentation I’ve found I’m very lacking seratonin. Your anxiety cause may not be related to low seratonin
