barge into a vaguely-related thread and derail it. the hbag power play

sounds like a plan

i usually have my old desktop booted into linux but today i booted the windows drive for the first time in i guess about a year

i had it on windows 10 doing insider builds for a while but lost interest, as a result it was last updated to build 10.0.21390. when doing a windows update, it now wants to go straight to 11 (and as far as i can tell there aren't any newer straight up release builds of 10). problem being, my desktop is old! it doesn't have a TPM v2

i know i can work around that and install 11 anyway but i'd rather not do a clean install. as far as i can tell, though, that makes my other remaining option to "downgrade" (to a newer build, i guess?), so i downloaded an iso of 21H2

that wants me to do a clean install too, though. i'd rather avoid that if possible, obviously — anyone got any ideas?

e: the iso i have is 19041.1. i see there's a 22H2 now though :thunk:

re ADHD chat: if you've been on the same medication for a very very long time ask your doctor if there are any newer better treatments available.

i was diagnosed with ADHD when i was 10 and saw a specialist paediatrician until i turned 18 and then i started seeing a psych. that dude prescribed me compounded slow-release dexamphetamine from when i started seeing him up until ~2020 when he abruptly retired. in the whole 14 year period that i saw that psych he never once suggested alternative medications and just kept me on the compounded slow-release dex which seemed to work okayish.

in my first appointment with my new psych he suggested ditching the compounded slow-release dexamphetamine and instead taking lisdexamphetamine (vyvanse) with regular dexamphetamine. i'd never heard of vyvanse before but it sounded pretty nifty so i tried it out and it was a marked improvement over the compounded poo poo. it was also much cheaper (didn't have to pay the ~$60 compounding fee), easier to get (compounded stuff i could only get at PCCA compounding chemists) and more convenient (just one 70mg vyvanse per-day instead of 4x10mg compounded capsules lol).

so yeah, it's a shame that it took having to change doctors to be made aware of the latest advancements in drugs. ofc i guess i could have been more assertive with my original doc but he was a bit poo poo in general tbh.
vyvanse is super expensive here unless you get one of those coupons (it knocked like $150 off to make it $10 for me, at least)

i dropped it because i didn't see any benefit over regular extended release dextroamphetamine, which is free, so i stopped taking it. once they stopped giving out the coupons my psych was like "yeah we don't prescribe that anymore", to which i lol'd heartily

that usually means they got a kickback per rx. i don't know how it works by you but i'm glad you found something that works, adhd can be a bitch to manage

thanks friend. here in AU we have the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) which applies automatic discounts to certain prescribed medications. thanks to the PBS i can get 30x70mg vyvanse for AUD$42.50 instead of AUD$98.80 (https://www.pbs.gov.au/medicine/item/10492F) which is pretty great.

edit: there's no discount on the regular dex that i take alongside it however overall it's still cheaper per-repeat than the compounded slow-release dex which was like $40 for 100x5mg dex plus $60 for compounding.

they also had me try something called "evekeo" or "zezendi", which going by the coupon i have saved from 2016 (lol) are also dextroamphetamine reformulations. fwiw they did seem to lessen the regular dextro side effects quite a bit (sweating, heightened anxiety, etc) while still providing the same "benefit", but alas they stopped the kickbacks there, too.

still, probably not a bad idea to ask about

i was diagnosed with add as a kid and did the ritalin/adderall thing through middle school or so. i've always massively self medicated with fuckloads of coffee and tried going back on adderall in my mid 20s. i had to quit again after a just a couple months because while it was effective, it also made me aggro as gently caress, and left me constantly wanting more drugs. in my late 30s now and while i'd love to give it another shot, my cardio system isn't in the right place for it.

i was also diagnosed as a kid but had no idea, my parents literally hid the concerta rx i was given and i only found it when i cracked their safe (yeah i was a little bastard). it's a big ole hit of dopamine which would explain why you'd constantly want more drugs, and amphetamines are themselves crazy addictive. i'd also self-medicate with tons of caffeine and pseudoephedrine

sometimes i worry about the cardio effects too, but my resting heart rate even on amphetamine is in the 60s so i hope i'm fine

ive been taking some form of amphetamines almost daily for at least 23 years now. my resting heart rate is usually a bit elevated when i take them however i had an EKG recently as part of a general check-up and they didn't find any issues. so yeah you're prolly fine.

semi-related but im now like 7 years smoke-free after a ~10 year habit which began in high-school lol. im surprised i managed to pull it off, was hard to imagine when i was smoking. i used to do off-shore work on the reg and would wear patches when i was out on the rigs. after one swing i just decided "gently caress it ima keep wearing the patches and go from there" and it worked. only good thing ive ever done lol

after i found out my parents had been lying to me and became an adult i just went to a psych on my own and was prescribed adderall, that was probably 18 years ago or so. still, after i took some after a killer hangover i sort of had a panic attack and my heart rate was in the 130-170 range so i went to mass general hospital to get checked out. they did an ekg and i was totally fine, but that's how i'm now on benzos for anxiety also lmao

and yep i quit smoking in 2019, right before covid hit ironically lol. replaced that with vapes which imo probably isnt too much better but :shrug: that withdrawal makes me aggro as all hell

my resting heart rate seems to hover in the 55-65 zone, and my Apple Watch tells me every morning that my heart rate hit 35 or 40 while I was sleeping, so either I have athletic bradycardia or I somehow have sleep apnea while being pretty slim and fit

doctor wasn’t too worried about the slow heart rate while sleeping so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

although it's pretty rare to see it dip into the 30s, 45-50 while i'm asleep is pretty normal for me apparently
