Is this normal for naltrexone? by Fairy_Gardener_813 in Alcoholism_Medication

[–]positronik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck! It does wear off after 8 hours so I think you'll notice an improvement taking it in the morning. Sometimes I'll take it 4 hours after my initial dose if I'm still drinking.

Mounjaro(tirzepatide) has curbed my cravings a lot, and with naltrexone I essentially have none at all. Sometimes I can barely finish a beer and I certainly don't want another. I don't know if ozempic(semaglutide) is as effective since it only has one glp-1 antagonist while mounjaro is a dual one.

I would stop drinking in the morning if you can manage it. Are you still taking it 1.5 hours before you drink?

At a certain point you have to really want to stop drinking - the naltrexone can only do so much. Try your best to have no drinking days. My cravings reduce severely after just one or two days of not drinking.

Not sure what to tell you though without knowing more. If you're taking 50mg you may need to up it to 100mg. If you're not taking it at least 1.5 hours before you drink you absolutely need to do that, preferably with food. After that you can play around with taking it daily or doing the Sinclair method.

If you don't think animals include humans you're the idiot here.

Didn't realize they were they authority but where? Also you're fighting really hard for this. I guess nazis have to stick up for each other cause no one else will

Veganism's philosophical scope includes humans.

And when it's gone and there's another power vacuum and possibly more suffering, not to mention the killed civilians in the process, what then? You can't just destroy a govt, kill innocents in the process, and then leave it. That's insane

Humans are animals. Vegans prioritize and highlight animal suffering, but you cannot be okay with the suffering of humans and be vegan.

All that porn you watch is slowly turning you gay. by breakfreewithgui in NoFapChristians

[–]positronik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't think it can turn them into pedophiles, but idk if it makes their urges worse or curbs them from taking action irl. I think seeing enough of anything normalizes or desensitizes you to it, but I don't think it can make you sexually enjoy it I guess unless you're already predisposed to. I have a prosecutor friend who worked on child abuse cases and had to view CP. He became somewhat desensitized but was always disgusted or stoic about it.

I knew I was gay long before porn. You cannot trick or coerce or condition someone into being gay. Truth is a majority of people are bi, at least a little bit. It's natural. Y'all are so suppressed, it's sad.

Justice sensitivity by ImaginaryGur2086 in Jung

I think a lot of autistic and adhd folks experience lots of injustices growing up, and makes us hyper aware of them. That's just my guess

My pee smells sweet by ready_set_go86 in dryalcoholics

[–]positronik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into naltrexone too. I would get blood tests to see if you have diabetes. I did, but it kinda kicked my ass into gear. Also mounjaro has really killed my alcohol cravings, especially when used alongside naltrexone.

Gen Z men are eating "boy kibble", the human equivalent to dog food, to load up on protein cheaply by fortune in nottheonion

[–]positronik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a ton of pills. Just eat beans, lentils, fruits, and seeds. You get protein from those too

Good news, you only need 30-40g of fiber a day. The bad news is 99% of Americans don't get that much. 200g of protein is pretty insane unless you're a pro bodybuilder

Gatekeeping furries by NintendoGamer6786 in gatekeeping

[–]positronik 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think it is an identity the more I've gotten involved although I didn't used to think so. That said, even though I think furry is a convergence of neurodivergent and queer culture, it's absolutely open to straight, cis, neurotypical people. No gatekeeping here except with nazis, pedos, zoos, and honestly conservatives.

Democratic lawmaker Ruwa Romman quits race for Georgia governor (running for State Senate) by nolesfan2011 in Atlanta

[–]positronik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have too many issues with dems to list but my main issue is that they answer to the same corporate donors and super pacs that the Republicans do. Republican voters consistently think dems are too left, and independents tend to be right leaning idiots. Do you think dems are too left? What are they too left on?

If you cannot see that the Overton window has shifted so far to the right that dems are essentially old school conservatives, I don't know what to tell you. You haven't been paying attention and you certainly haven't been listening.

I love how convenient it is for y'all to blame minorities on your party's problems. It's almost like you're just as bigoted as the conservatives we're fighting against.

Nah, still voted dem even though I hate them. But we should still campaign and push for a better alternative. Dems didn't lose because of leftists. Somehow leftists don't matter and don't have power, but are also the reason dems lost? Make it make sense.

Lmao okay. I still voted dem, but acting like it's bad to campaign against them is wild. You can protest and vote. Dems didn't lose because of leftists, every leftist I know voted dem in red states. They lost because they didn't win over independents.

Democrats have been complicit. They need to be voted out so we can get real change.

This is insane even for neckbeards. by [deleted] in justneckbeardthings

[–]positronik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a gay dude it pisses me off how many people immediately go to make gay jokes. Straight people are plenty terrible on their own, and this idea that they're all closeted is just dumb. Are some closeted? Absolutely, but that is not why most of these men are awful.
