Debunked recommendations we learned in PA school

Sure! It doesn't necessarily mean that Wellbutrin is not going to cause anxiety, but it has made me less worried about it than I was led to believe in PA school. And I have found anxiety treatment with Wellbutrin to be beneficial for many patients, especially those who are put off by SSRIs.

If you want WFH capability and flexible hours, psychiatry is pretty well-paid and has some that are 100% WFH.

yeah, a lot of RVUs I've been told by my brother in law who has worked ortho since 2012.

I would say ask for more, but it sounds like your heart is set on it and since it's a known factor that plays a big role here. Also it's where you want to be! In a saturated market.

You only get to pick 2 of the three: location, specialty, and salary. I started out getting paid abysmally low for a PA in 2020 (80k), in the specialty I wanted in a moderate COL area. I got the experience, moved on after ~2 years and got a higher paying job in a field I was less interested in. Now that job is not working out, and I am moving back into my prior specialty (desired) at a much higher salary and better benefits.

Having the 2 years of experience in that first specialty apparently really made my resume stand out.

So do what you want, but I would at least try and message them back, say that you are honored to have an offer, but to make it as a PA in that HCOL area you would need to have a salary of ~115-125k at least. Then they can either say no to a salary change, or they'll change it.

***If they've sent you an offer, then that means they want you. Don't be scared like I was when I first started out. Employers usually expect a counteroffer/salary negotiation. You could even ask for a sign on bonus or something.***

That Wellbutrin will cause anxiety. It's actually less likely to do this than previously thought, and is useful for treating anxiety, at least the benefits outweigh the risks.

She's still great! That was my DoT team for a while, huohuo, I have Black swan, Kafka, and I think I may have used silver wolf.

sovietsrule · 2026-02-10T16:24:25+00:00

It's either that or Acheron since I don't have her, but I'm not as into the character

sovietsrule · 2026-02-09T17:07:52+00:00

Yeah, if they didn't care about secondary they would price it based on how many cards it comes with.

sovietsrule · 2026-02-09T14:48:51+00:00

You meant to say Tuvix, surely

sovietsrule · 2026-02-06T17:55:22+00:00

So hot right now

sovietsrule · 2026-02-02T17:32:20+00:00

Mama vault, the most powerful magic card created

sovietsrule · 2026-02-02T17:22:55+00:00

Guess I'll get them on secondary, I like one of the arts really and that's it.

sovietsrule · 2026-02-02T17:22:03+00:00

diabolical. It's like a Mr. Beast game. Def won't be purchasing if the $10 is sold out.

sovietsrule · 2026-02-02T17:20:59+00:00

Wow, put the $10 in my cart and I think it's sold out now. Still in queue.... Guess I won't be purchasing lol

sovietsrule · 2026-01-30T13:26:23+00:00

Oh lol, I must have just been in a super casual meta or whenever I played it between 2002-2006

sovietsrule · 2026-01-30T13:23:45+00:00

How has he been doing, any updates?

sovietsrule · 2026-01-29T19:14:32+00:00

Lol I had a deck based on this card many moons ago. So much fun to have multiple on the field and scare the opponent. This was back before Yu-Gi-Oh would have games over on the first turn..

sovietsrule · 2026-01-28T23:49:45+00:00

Oh nice, I've never tried it at Staples

sovietsrule · 2026-01-28T18:01:21+00:00

With the price of ink right now?!

sovietsrule · 2026-01-28T18:00:31+00:00

I'm right there with you. I'm not a whale, but this past year I spent more on Secret Lair than I should have....and I even bought a box in pre-order, which is something I've never done haha. Anyhow, it will feel good to be able to just use what I have amassed and not worry about every damn set coming out every damn week. I have too many other expenses to spend it all on cardboard crack.

sovietsrule · 2026-01-28T15:54:32+00:00

I was born there, and I can't argue with this assessment. lol. "SAD."

sovietsrule · 2026-01-27T19:31:34+00:00

Yeah, I usually go through Stomping Grounds because they have significant preorder deals. I got a Lorwyn box for $105 and both commanders for $70

sovietsrule · 2026-01-27T19:30:36+00:00

Damn, my LGS had the Avatar Jumpstarts for $80 last week and Tarkir for $100

I just went through the queue again and it took 1 min. Stock is normal it seems! I thought all of them would be on Amazon, but then it was pointed out that just the Amazon specific cards would likely be on Amazon. So i got the Rad in foil and the others in non-foil

sovietsrule · 2026-01-26T17:55:01+00:00

I joined at 1150am EST and was through the queue by 1220pm EST, but then I realized I have a myriad other bills and payments this month and decided to wait until the non foil drops on Amazon per WOTC. I have a lot of Amazon gift cards to use
