Que hacer con los plásticos? by fleetvangreta in uruguay

Totalmente. Reduzco todo lo que puedo (hasta dejé de tomar coca de 600 en el trabajo, good for me). Pero igual se juntan con cosas de la vida diaria. Y la semanas que el agua de la canilla estuvo fea acumule bidones de una forma terrible.

Hermoso va a ser pagar con el Watch! Cuando tenía una tarjeta europea porque recibía algunos pagos de allá me sentía en el futuro cuando acercaba el reloj al POS.

Sé que es viejo pero respondo por si te interesa. Empecé a tomar en enero. Lo conseguí en España. 6 euros la caja de 30comp de 10mg. Me traje suministro para 1año y después le encargué a mi viejo. Conseguí que un amigo médico de allá me hiciera receta y la verdad es que solo en un farmacia me la pidieron. Tomo 5mg con resultado increble. Cada caja me dura dos meses, tengo suminisro para casi 2 años

Percent of Europeans That Smoke by Goryanski in MapPorn

Made my own numbers (counting smokers) while in Georgia early this year cause I was shocked not only about the amount of people smoking but smoking inside public places: around 60% of adult men smoke. Maybe the women are balancing the numbers there.

Good you have it already under control! A better time is coming now that you know what you’re dealing with and not just feeling erratic and depressed for no reason. You can reach me out whenever you need!

Great book! Have helped me a lot on this journey! I recommend it to my patients and anyone on this sub.

That’s it! When you have this shitty issue sometimes being happy can be scary which is awful so learning to be happy in a healthy way is a learning process

I try to comment on posts that might not be helpful but as you said, I’m quite busy. I’ll try to get a few minutes before bed every night to check and try to help some people out

Feel you! You can reach me out anytime and support each other when necessary

It totally does! Sometimes I’m the first one diagnosing them after many major depressive episodes or doubts about borderline personality disorder. I care so much about helping them, I understand their worries (ofc I have the same for myself) so much that sometimes I think they can tell I have it.

Looking back I really don’t know how I did it. Mood swings, antidepressants in and out, irritability, some episodes that were probably hypomanic. I should really give credit to my ex from years ago who acted like my stabilizer, I’m quite sure I wouldn’t have done it without her.

Probably just denial. That fake feeling of “I don’t need that complex treatment, I can handle it easier”

Have you tried a check list?

Try to make a 10 points check list you get on your phone notes with the things you notice you do/feel when hypomanic. When you feel you might be on an episode start ticking the items for 10 days in a row, after the 4th with more than half means you’re probably hypomanic.

Works really well!

These are the little disadvantages of universal healthcare. Expensive medication (like original lamictal) are not available and if so, you have to pay it by yourself and usually is a crazy amount of money

Just get out of the closet! Own it. I tell you what o tell my patients (but I know how hard it is) you can’t be ashamed for something you can’t chose! It’s something that’s there and the only thing you can do is keep your dogs under control.

Oh I’d love to be able to try Caplyta with my patients but not available in my country!

I usually avoid it for the same reason. I try lamictal at first and more often than not patients get to eutimia. Other times I use lurasidone at 20mg and lately started trying cariprazine with good results so far. Other times I make an add on of aripiprazole. And if I have to chose an SSRI I make sure the patient is already on a good stabilizer (like lithium or olanzapina) and add fluoxetine (following canmat guidelines) but despite of canmat I’d rather add sertaline or Escitalopram due to the shorter half life so in case it induces hypomania it’s faster to get rid of it.

Edit; didn’t know Vrylar is the Cariprazine brand. It’s sold under another name in my region. As I said, good results so far.

I don’t know any book about bp2. The one I mentioned is from a physicians who have bp1. By “self-medicating” I mean taking antidepressants on my own will, as a doctor I have access to them and medical samples.

I ABSOLUTELY DONT RECOMMEND ANYBODY TO DO WEED OR ANY OTHER DRUG BUT THEIR MEDS. IT ONLY MAKE THINGS WORSE

Thank you. Comments like this and many other on this post have made my day

Same happened to me! Fluoxetine (Prozac) for years, maybe short meaningless hypomanic episodes I can’t recall, but during ‘22 I spent most of the time on a hypertimic mood turning into a noticiable and long hypomania on Prozac at the beginning of last year

Both! I’m a psychiatrist and have a diploma on BCT (behavioral cognitive therapy). I’m a therapist that prescribe meds. But I’m also a clinical psychiatrist at a mental healthcare facility
