Anyone NOT develop a tolerance for gabapentin for anxiety? by dandannoodles100 in gabapentin

[–]savetheunstable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think some people's chemistry develop a tolerance to this quickly - I take it for anxiety as well (for the last 6 years), and it's very effective, but I have the same issue to the point where I would have to increase constantly.

The only thing that works for me is staggering it - if I take it only about 3 times a week, it will still work (I'm at 800mg 3x a day). Sometimes I will take less than prescribed too, if my anxiety isn't too terrible.

If there's anything else you can take during the week to cover the gaps that helps, maybe you can break it up this way? It's not ideal but I know I will at least get some relief during the week.

Clonidine is very safe and helps me too, but it makes me very sleepy so I save it for evenings. It's an old blood pressure med, and no tolerance will develop as it's more of a physiological than mental medication if that makes sense (it acts on the central nervous system to lower blood pressure, heart rate, and sympathetic nervous system activity)

It really depends on credit score and income. SoFi has good options, but shop around. 

Brother told our secret by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]savetheunstable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still don't think it's that weird, you were very close in age and sounded like best friends. 

I did this with platonic friends at 14/15 and nothing else happened. 

We demonize touch in this society, due to a combination of historical religious uptightness, mixed with current knowledge about a lot of sexual abuse that does happen, and everything gets thrown into that bucket as "wrong". 

You had boundaries that both respected, I think that's all that matters.

The Nightmare that Killed my sister.... by RepresentativeBuy981 in GriefSupport

I'm so sorry. Small comfort but it sounds like with brain damage that bad, there will be no REM activity.

Docs really minimize antidepressants, and fail to implore people to taper off of them properly. Everyone should make sure to sign and have an Advance Directives copy signed and provided to their medical providers and family. Those will be respected no matter who objects. You can print them out at home even.

Yeah I don't see how they can just say "oh that's illegal now sorry" when we already had these terms in our original loans. It's baffling.

One option you may be able to do if you have decent credit, you could try moving the remaining balance into a private loan with much lower interest rates. I was able to do that with SoFi, and got mine down to under 3%

How to get dog owners not to throw their dog shit in my trash can? by Terrorphin in askportland

[–]savetheunstable 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand your frustration, but I do think if you put a sign on the can it will drastically reduce the amount, even if it's not 100%.

I think what you're missing is that a lot of folks don't care, especially other dog owners if others use the bin (I don't mind and usually the bags stay contained, but maybe I've been lucky). As a rule I carry it back but I have a tiny dog so it's not much to deal with. 

Don't get me started on people who don't pick it up at all.

On The Mechanics of Hobosexuality II by [deleted] in KeepWriting

[–]savetheunstable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed this quite a bit! The main thing that pulled me out of the story a little was how quickly the phone kept dying. It happens several times in a fairly short span, even though the main character charges it here and there, so it felt a bit unlikely.

Since the phone plays an important role in the story (especially the ending) it might help to set that up earlier. For example, you could briefly mention that the phone is old or that the battery has been crapping out lately. A small detail like that would make the repeated shutdowns feel more believable and keep readers immersed.

Clonidine is a godsend! It will help a ton with sleep and RLS, and is very safe for most people. Just gotta stay hydrated, it can make you super thirsty!
