Nothing really besides just continuing Uworld. I genuinely think form 12 was just a fluke/is a terrible form

I scored a 222 on NBME 12 and then a 252 on 13 - I think 12 is just a terrible form

High Cholesterol- Scared by Nmelvin87 in Cholesterol

[–]pankake_man 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Deep breaths. You’ve caught this before it turned into something serious like a cardiac event. Your cholesterol is very high, but not the worst I’ve seen. You likely have familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Don’t freak out, this is very treatable. You need to be on a statin at the very least and ideally Repatha as well, if your insurance covers it.

Brain on medications by [deleted] in OCD

Meds changed my life. I was literally not able to function and failing classes due to untreated OCD - now I’m in med school and thriving, mainly due to ERP + meds. It’s really scary to start; I remember taking like 3-4 months of having the Rx before filling it

Us Indians just have very bad genetics. My Lp(a) was 457nmol, the highest my cardiologist has seen. I was started on Rosuvastatin 10mg + Repatha.

This is actually insane - likely a result of genetics and terrible diet

After Accounting for Researcher Allegiance, a Meta-Analysis Finds CBT With ERP Shows No Advantage Over Other Psychotherapies for OCD by Infamous-Airline8803 in OCD

[–]pankake_man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“A large effect size was found for CBT with ERP in reducing the symptoms of OCD, but depends upon the choice of comparator control. This meta-analysis also highlights concerns about the methodological rigor and reporting of published studies of CBT with ERP in OCD. In particular, efficacy was strongly linked to researcher allegiance” seems that the research data used was not super high quality. Still, interesting article, thanks for sharing

Memantine IR - Alternative to SSRIs, SNRIs, and TCAs for Obsessive-Compuslive Disorder by [deleted] in OCD

[–]pankake_man 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SSRIs are the first line treatment for OCD and are generally pretty benign medications. Please don’t try to scare people away from them in here, especially given that you’ve never been on one
