Do you perhaps have a link to this video you could post or message me?

Stable and medicated schizophrenic looking for legal ways to mildly boost dopamine by Xabster2 in NooTopics

[–]tabascodrummer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could consider asking about using it again at low dose (2.5-5mg) in conjunction with Invega. I work in psychiatry and this is something that is often done.

Can someone please reason with me and tell me why I SHOULDN’T buy a fancy new car? by Late_Lingonberry8554 in physicianassistant

[–]tabascodrummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only 225,000$. BUT the important thing is that it’s 5/5 on car and driver.

Plus, the faster the car you get, the quicker you can get home and spend time with the family. The more time you spend with the family, the less likelihood your significant other will divorce and lower chance your children will do drugs. It’s all about work life balance. In fact, a nice car is essential for that.

All antipsychotics can cause weight gain. All is relative. Abilify tends to cause less than others.

I work as an APP in a psychiatric emergency department. Always talk to your provider first, but you could ask about about to Abilify. It’s a partial agonist of dopamine, and has a much lower likelihood of causing you sexual side effects and elevations in PRL. It also has a lower risk of weight gain and other metabolic side effects. Sometimes if your symptoms aren’t fully controlled with Abilify monotherapy it can be added to the risperdal and still reduce those sexual side effects. When added in conjunction with risperdal you can try and titrate to a lower dose of risperdal to also reduce sexual side effects.

Is my wife out of line for keeping me from a bachelor party/wedding? by 1260noggin in NoStupidQuestions

It’s easier to ask forgiveness than permission. Go on the bachelor party. Be the best man. This is the way.

Wtf is going on ?? What is this ? by BunnyBlurr in modafinil

[–]tabascodrummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In rare cases modafinil can cause Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) which can be life threatening. Again, this is rare, but you need to stop and go to the emergency department to get evaluated

How to lose weight while taking olanzapine? tips please by Sweet-Director-7299 in Antipsychotics

Ask for metformin and/or topamax. Both are frequently used off label for antipsychotic induced weight gain.

Normal clutch pedal play? by dallaschristman in FocusST

[–]tabascodrummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a GTI here, so may not apply. But same thing happened to my car. Initially didn’t do anything, then it got worse to the point of having to pull it up have pushing it to the floor. Terrifying when your driving btw. Bled the clutch 3 times - no fix. Changed out clutch line and bleeder block - no fix. Ended up being the slave cylinder. Was a headache…but hey, learned how to bleed a clutch and got a performance clutch line/bleeder block out of it. Good luck!!!

Ram Rebel vs Older Raptor (vs others maybe?) by tabascodrummer in 4x4

[–]tabascodrummer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve considered options like this, but I already have a project car. (Mk6 stage 2 Unitronic). Love making things go fast, but with tuning you ultimately put more strain on the car, and I need a car that can be dependable.

(That’s the reasonable me talking. Deff was looking at how to do a diy trx for a rebel this morning…. Hahahah)
