The Door Frame posted:My doctor is adamantly against ER and XR versions of adderall because generic formulations can have very inconsistent dose delivery. I haven't complained because it makes sense and I want to get the right amount of drugs at the right time OTOH, I've been taking XR generic Ritalin (methyl phenidate) for 20 years and haven't really noticed any dosage delivery issues. There's inconsistent dosage delivery issues with having to take a pill every four hours, too.

My insurance (for some reason) covered vyvanse but not brand name adderall so now I take that and it has been working pretty well. Not nearly as "peaky".

I would prefer zero medicine but I’ve done that for weeks hasn’t been awesome, not dangerous but not pleasant. I never even took a Tylenol unless I was sick bad. Opiates are pain meds, highly addictive, you won’t get prescribed these for depression. Benzodiazepines are addictive, generally end in -pam, and are prescribed for anxiety and sleep disorders. Ativan and Xanax, for example. SSRI is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and keeps more of the serotonin (hormone that makes you feel at ease) in your brain. Prozac is a common one. Theres a bunch of other ones. I quit cold turkey in 2019 because the Abilify and Wellbutrin would cost me $900 a month after being kicked off my wife’s insurance. Again none of these work well with alcohol. Some of the metabolites of ethanol are a reset button on depression treatment, some benzos even act on the same receptors and you can literally die. Seeking help is awesome. Acknowledging you need help is a huge step. But please be honest with the doctor and follow their instructions to the letter.

This generic poo poo is inconsistent as hell, good to know it can be better I guess, but now I have to find another neurologist, because the one I had could only work with me until the accident case was settled. And since the VA won't let me have any controlled substances because I use medical marijuana, I'm gonna have to pay out the rear end to see a civilian doc just to get some more adderall and I'm wondering if all that is even worth it.

He has said klonopin but I don’t want to get addicted to an opiate. Appreciate the advice maybe a different doctor or medicine and counselor the way to go. No goon in a well here, I want to be happy again Klonopin is a benzo, same class as Librium**, Valium, Xanax, etc - it has a moderate half life** 50mg of Librium is an elephant dose that's generally only used for the first couple of days of severe alcohol withdrawal. You'd be out for at least 24 hours with that, even if you're using it to treat alcohol w/d. * Source: been through detox with Librium, did nothing but sleep for the first few days (which started at 50mg). ** Librium itself is a benzo, though it metabolizes into two others, IIRC. It's pretty strong on its own, and the metabolites are why it seems to last so long. Once you factor those in, it has one of the longest half lives out of any common benzo. Klonopin sticks around for a hot minute too. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 08:53 on Mar 5, 2021 |

I was going to say to use Good RX but they no longer write prescriptions for controlled substances This relationship stuff is stressing me out. I talked to a few of my married friends and they told me that I should just give it some space so I'm not going to do anything rash like breaking up with her right away. I'm going to just try to put this out of my mind completely and focus on asking for a raise during my performance review next Monday and the trip I have planned to Austin Texas right after. What's fun to do in Austin Texas these days with Corona? I'm really just visiting some close friends but I'd like to see some stuff too lol. My friend in Wisconsin offered to sell me his Conquest TSI for $3500. Drive train is fine but there is rust. I'm not in a position to take on a project car at the moment (mostly because it's pretty hard to work on cars when you live in an Apartment lol). Still it's really tempting - I've always wanted a conquest and I understand that stock ones are pretty rare at this point. Plus the price is so low it's like why not?  The conquest in question. It has the digital dash too

Last night at Lowes I saw a guy and his girlfriend load up a cart of tools and just casually walk out. He briskly walked thru the lot and they loaded it into their Subaru shitbox while an employee watched from the door. I also kept my distance. I'm not surprised at the event, but I am shocked that it's the second walk out tool robbery I've witnessed in the past year.

Good for the employee. I am 100% sure he doesn't get paid anywhere near enough to give the slightest gently caress about it. When I was ~17 I helped stop an armed robbery of the store next door to the one I worked in, and holy poo poo, looking back on that a couple decades later, that was not the wise path.

In 2000 it was Borders store policy that employees were to chase shoplifters and recover stolen merch. Until an employee somewhere got stabbed and they quietly changed the policy. Anyways, I doubt anyone remembers my dental issues from years ago (extreme pain at random times, finally my parents paid for my mouth to be fixed and the dentist did a hack job) but I made an appointment to see an extremely well review dentist after having insurance for nearly 3 years. I'm in pain again and can't mitigate it with toothache cream any longer.

I'd imagine employees are told to take down plate numbers and get a good description of any thieves. I'd say they have video cameras covering the lot but I can't remember seeing any at my local last time I was there but I wasn't looking for them. Company that large they've got loss prevention who was probably on the phone with police before the guy left the parking lot. Question for any of our international people in UK or anywhere else in Europe I guess. What big online parts providers do you use and trust? Running into all sorts of issues sourcing an alternator for the Fiat 126 because it wasn't sold here and it's a very unique design. Autodoc.co.uk has them in stock at reasonable prices, not great shipping prices but oh well. I'm down a rabbit hole right now trying to figure out if the diode pack is used in any other units that might be easier to source.

They must have been getting hit hard. Also now I think the security poo poo they put on the packaging is just a pain for everyone and not effective. There can't be many potential theives who change their mind at that.

I don't even remember the fight being that bad, I just broke up to guys screaming at each other and when I turned back around the other guy hit me just right and I was on my rear end. This only happened because the owner decided to be a cheap gently caress and fired the off duty cop who normally worked there with me. That job also made me fat, unlimited wings and people buying you drinks all the time = 50 pounds heavier after the 9ish years i worked there.

I used to work at a lowes and they explicitly tell you not to follow or block shoplifters, not even to write plate numbers down. Ask em for the receipt and if they leave anyway, report it to loss prevention. No way in hell am I playing cop for $8/hr and no benefits.

I've already started in on the "someone else's theft is not your problem" discussions with my kid. A few weeks ago here in AZ, an Ace Hardware employee was chasing a shoplifter out into the parking lot. The employee got shot... by a customer trying to play hero. Absolutely none of this poo poo is worth putting yourself at any risk.

That's like the third dumbest idea I've heard this year and I've spent multiple hours reading about qanon. Worst case if you don't care about it being a perfect restoration you could build your own external diode pack after mapping out the factory one and connect it to the stator wiring. There's nothing magical about them, just 6-12 beefy rectifier diodes pressed or soldered to a copper plate or two for convenience of assembly. Make sure you get the polarity right (sometimes half are cathode case and half are anode case for packaging and assembly reasons) and have a high enough PIV rating (even 50V should be enough) and forward current and you're good to go.
