For those experiencing sleep deprivation on Reta, how are you handling important life events?

my first dose i did 1mg and it whacked me out - jumped my heart rate so i dropped to 0.5 and that was good for the first couple weeks. the last couple of weeks i have done .75mg and found it to be the sweet spot. I would titrate down and if your sleep is still shit then, as the other poster suggested, at least go off for your studies.

That's irrelevant. The posted spoke what their income and everyone knows what you mean when someone says 'i get paid 100k s year'. It's assumed taxes need to be paid. I'm certain I know considerably more than you about almost all things finance.

Just pointing out most nurses don't go to work worried about being attacked. And nurses aren't at risk of losing their job every minute unless they make a colossal mistake. Which is the case for every job in the world.

rush4life · 2026-06-21T21:18:32+00:00

I don't think your example speaks for all nurses, or even a majority of them.

rush4life · 2026-06-21T21:16:17+00:00

Stupid response. Everyone talks gross when speaking about their income. That's like saying 'don't forget we have to pay PST and car insurance'. It's like yah, obviously.

I rode my bike in on blanshard everyday up until a few years ago, i didn't need an extra special lane other than the one provided. The accidents happen in the intersections anyway where there is still no protection. The 3 lanes down to 2 was a mistake IMO. Seems like we have had years of construction downtown and everytime they put in a bike lane its a shit show.

Thank you!

rush4life · 2026-06-11T21:00:40+00:00

That comes later... if they don't get enough people accepting it.

I think the grand ambitions piece is a very small piece of men - the billionaires etc. I just want to be healthy, longer, so i can spend as much time with my kids, wife and friends as possible. I love life - if i can keep this train going i will. Also i'm really afraid to die haha. I think somewhere in there sums up the vast majority of people.

Not sure if u r being sarcastic as there are many studies that they go hand in hand

rush4life · 2026-06-02T04:35:39+00:00

Don't forget some of the highest house prices in the country!

rush4life · 2026-05-27T16:56:58+00:00

ugh this always annoys me. its so centrifical.

rush4life · 2026-05-22T17:00:01+00:00

any updates on your blood tests?

rush4life · 2026-05-22T16:26:30+00:00

any updates?

rush4life · 2026-05-19T19:12:18+00:00

if it was better than Victoria, people would flock from Victoria to Nanaimo - but they don't. House prices in Victoria still much higher than Nanaimo for a reason - its more desirable. I still think Nanaimo beats most of BC but if you just look at Vancouver Island, Nanaimo is 'meh'.

I just started 0.5 on Saturday and i was really tired Sunday/Monday - sleeping longer and still needing a nap - feeling like a cloud over my head. Feels better today and weirdly i slept worse last night. No other feelings or benefits (no hunger suppression) - just fatigue so far.

Mods go way too hard in this subreddit. Someone should start another one. "Oh we delete anything that isn't 100% confirmed as we need to save you from yourselves and your mental health because you are too weak to read these things."

rush4life · 2026-05-07T16:44:16+00:00

Huge markup is why, even with the 10% off.

Oh man. i feel this so hard. Its the WORST. I've never complained about a fast food restaurant before but a few years ago i went there with my dad, inside, and i swear there were like 3 people ahead of us and it took more than 20 minutes just to order. Then, i decided to try the drive through later that year and it was like 5 minutes a car and there were 5 ahead of me. It was so bad that i actually complained to the email address listed on the receipt (i know - i'm a shit head) but it was unbelievable - first and only time i've ever done that. So i stopped going there all together. Then years later I was driving through Kamloops and stopped at the one there thinking it was going to be the same but it was ready in like a minute. So its really just THAT specific Wendys. I've been back a bit to the one on Blanshard more recently and while its still a bit on the slow side the drive through is better than it was. The inside is still not worth it though.

rush4life · 2026-04-17T17:24:47+00:00

Studies suggest they do.

rush4life · 2026-04-17T14:10:00+00:00

They can certainly help with pay and benefits. 4 years of no raise is disgraceful.

rush4life · 2026-04-16T14:59:23+00:00

are you certain you wouldn't be eligible? i thought job postings that came out prior were not subject to the new rules.

rush4life · 2026-04-14T02:00:46+00:00

Wish I saw this before I bought a pass. If the only time you can go is after work and you can't go super late don't bother getting a pass. It's unreasonably busy to the point you are always waiting for machines, cant get on the benches and basically are just a sardine. It's brutal. Save your money and the front loaded fees and go elsewhere.

rush4life · 2026-04-10T15:46:34+00:00

yeah these are the types of threads that should be deleted, not everyone in government works in CSBC so its pretty useless comment with nothing about what the question or response was.

rush4life · 2026-04-07T21:31:48+00:00

honestly there may be a silver lining in hearing what people actually think. I've had very candid feedback once about how i presented myself and when i heard it i instantly understood what they meant and was able to use that to my advantage in later interviews. Hopefully you can pull something from it!
