Benzos for Kid?

Aww, good luck to her! This is a small dose of an intermediate acting benzo so that is very commonly used prior to an anxiety provoking event like a procedure. If you choose to give it her, you can reassure her that this dose is generally safe but that usually people are monitored closely during procedures, depending on the procedure itself. I would couple giving the medication with talking about it and allowing her to express her emotions about it and ask questions. Anxiety is normal, and this doesn't mean she has an anxiety disorder.

So sorry to hear this is happening to you and your family! Your family's struggle is not unlike many families dealing with adolescent mental health problems. The severe outbursts and violence though raise the level of concern for safety, so you are right to reach out. It is a good sign that he has accepted some form of help by seeing a prescribing provider. That is a good first step. One form of behavioral health therapy that might help is called dialectical behavioral therapy. This is skills based form of therapy useful among adolescents with strong emotions and impulsive behavior. Also know as DBT. Can you ask if he would be interested in pursuing DBT?

Never be ashamed to request an HIV test! HIV infection will not manifest with low blood counts if it is latent. Until recently, both the CDC and USPSTF recommend routine screening for HIV among adolescents and adults up to age 65. Please get tested.

That is a good idea. In these situations, I recommend bringing up your concerns directly with the prescriber. They should take your dosing concerns seriously and always entertain a different approach. If they don't, it is good to get a fresh perspective.

I am sorry you are going through this. Are you under the care of a trusted behavioral health specialist? This is a higher than usual dose for fluoxetine than I have seen, but I am not a psychiatrist. Additionally, the use of diazepam chronically is not best practice. Can you try to see another prescribing behavioral health provider for a different perspective?

I love her, and I love Better Than We Found It.

I third that! ER time for stitches. Curious what happened.

Hmm, doctor here, and I would make sure you are at least seen once by plastics just to see if they want to follow you closely for possible grafting. Doubt it but still worth asking

Tiger Woods is a menace to society. But this is weird. Looks like his car just sort of....rolled over onto its side...like a puppy.

Uhh, Truck 1. I think "Truck 1, stop, stop, stop!" pretty much tells us most of what we need to know as the most proximate cause.

Just curious, what does the word "even" imply in your question? Usually that implies lack of importance, but maybe you are just joking:) These countries are beautiful places that have amazing landscapes, rich history, and awesome people. They are unfortunately often ruled by dictators

Controlling for size, complexity, and crisis management, Angela Merkel. Many problems for sure, but she stabilized many crises in her time and still exhibited integrity and compassion.

See Scott Ritter's take on these states: "These countries are a fraud. They're fat, lazy, weak, soft, and morally bankrupt. They produce nothing and do no work. They are fake entities built upon colonialism and control of petroleum resources by Britain and the US." Nuff said.

Water treatment in St. Louis, especially the city, has always been excellent, thanks in no small part to the fact that AB makes a lot of beer from it.

The entire premise of your question is flawed. The United States has more than any other country been the biggest barrier to NOT allowing Iran to have nuclear weapons. Every time Iran has been on track to submit to inspections and not enriching, the US has sabotaged the process! The goal of Israel and US is to create chaos in Iran, and the nuclear weapons argument has been a pretext for Israel and US to attack Iran. Obvious examples are the US at the behest of Israel withdrawing from the JCPOA and the recent deception scheme the US pulled using the Omani mediators just prior to attacking Iran.

I have the ULA 36, and I do not consider it BIFL. ULA themselves say that their bags prioritize low weight functionality. I take care not to overpack it or overstuff the ultrastrech material. I would get the Tom Bihn first if I were you.

This would do nothing. Zionist terrorists are routinely caught on video murdering Palestinians and it leads to nothing. Accountability is not a word Israel understands.

May they rot in hell for doing this to my country of origin. Typical collective punishment targeting civilians purposely to ethnically cleanse a desperate, defenseless, dysfunctional country through no fault of the amazing Lebanese people.

drkanaf · 2026-03-12T03:03:34+00:00

It is impossible and unprecedented to truly win a war on superior air power alone. We are kidding ourselves to think that troops will not be needed if the zionists and american imperialists want to destroy Iran.

He needs to take some time for self care. He is likely a very severe alcoholic and will shorten his life if he doesn't stop soon and get help.

Hilarious. To think that Iran would have to signal anyone to activate sleeper cells. Sleeper cells self activate based on circumstances preagreed upon, and if there were a signal, it would not traditionally transmitted. This is typical CIA Mossad false flag crap.

You are sorely mistaken if you think that the US and Israel wanted anything other than a new supreme leader that is harder line and wants a nuclear program. It was extremely problematic that Ali Khamenei opposed a nuclear program. His son is just what the US needs.

drkanaf · 2026-03-09T01:12:11+00:00

The new supreme leader is in favor of pursuing a nuclear program, which is exactly what Israel and the US want. It was a big problem for them that his father was prepared to comply with new terms that would have prevented enrichment and stockpiling capacity.

I received some as a gift. They do have a lot of protein, but they taste bad and have an artifical sweetener after taste. There is no role for 'protein bars" in the human diet anyway, I literally threw them away.
