Can I ask advice? I am hypomanic bipolar, I seldom ever get manic manic, so not often delusions or psychosis. I was given quetiapine, started on 25mg, we went to 300mg which was an awful experience of irritation and no sleep. Initially it worked well, kept me more positive and stable. But it's given me terrible brain fog and I sleep so often so we're moving to lamotrigine.

She wants me on an anti-depressant which I am concerned about. I also have very severe ADHD so she thinks it'll help with mood and productivity. But when I took SSRI's I first felt the mania, as well as awful side effects that lasted for months, and some years. That was after a few months on citalopram, and a few weeks on sertraline.

She now wants me on venlafaxine which is an SNRI, but I've been burnt by the anti-depressants really badly before and I feel foolish walking into this one, even on mood stabilisers. I've accepted my life as it is, I'm on government support, I can live like this. If it gets worse with more medicine I don't think I could continue. This feels like the frog-scorpion analogy and I made my concerns heard by she is determined I need an anti-depressant. Do I take it?

I've been through the psych system myself as a patient. I'm not medically trained in any way.

My approach is to take what works for me. Currently I'm only taking an antidepressant and no antipsychotics. I was taking an antipsychotic recently (aripiprazole) but I hate the side effects. I was tired and I keep getting oculogyric crises (involuntary eye movements), even as the drug is leaving my system.

If a doctor isn't listening to you then fuck them. Fuck all psychiatrists in fact. I did have one who I felt listened to me. But a lot of them don't give a shit.

When they tell you to take something say to them "you take it first. Prove that this is a good thing to take. Then I'll take it." It's ludicrous that psychiatrists think they own your life. Psychiatry is an immoral joke.

Voluntary psychiatry can be okay I think, if the patient enters into it by themselves, but involuntary psychiatry is immoral.

So before my first use of Condyline paint for my genital warts i read the pamphlet and it says i must not use it on the face, this is after asking my GP how I may treat the virus which im confident has spread to my lips and she recommended this.

I don't know if I just have bad luck with GPs but the guy i saw around 15 years ago prescribed me an anti-fungal creme that does nothing to warts, tomorrow I'm going to one of the other GPs at the same practice to get a second opinion since the first one literally couldn't see the warts starting to come through my lips even with a device.
And sorry if this counts as asking for advice but I thought 15 years of untreated might be a concern (i hope its not) but the GP didn't raise an eyebrow or say anything, if there was a shred of concern would they mention it or do GPs just generally not mention anything in case the patient freaks out?

p6 - morphine ! O....pdf

Anonymous No. 16564434

before pdf: 1/2 Pharmacology. Morphine is a classical exogenous opioid
(xenobiotic opioid) that produces a well-characterized
analgesia, as well as certain other pharmacological actions, as
a result of its affinity to bind to receptors normally acted upon
by endogenous opioids. Additional examples of exogenous
opi-oids include other opium alkaloids, such as codeine, as
well as semisynthetic opioids (oxymorphone, oxycodone,
hydromor-phone, hydrocodone) and synthetic opioids
(meperidine, methadone, fentanyl, pentazocine)(21-23).
Endogenous opioids are peptides that are the naturally
occurring ligands for opioid receptors, with the term endorphin
(endogenous + morphine) being coined to refer to the
endogenous opioids as a group, although it also refers to a
specific endogenous opioid, β-endorphin. The presence of
opioid receptor binding sites in the brain was demonstrated in
1973 via the use of radioligand (radiolabeled opioid
compounds) binding assays in which saturable binding of
radioligands was observed. The bound radioligands could then be
stereoselectively displaced by nonradiolabled opioid compounds.
The discovery of opioid-receptor multiplicity followed shortly
afterward and the existence of three major types of opioid
receptors [mu (µ), delta (δ), and kappa (κ)] was established
through receptor binding studies and cloning experiments. These
receptors are members of the superfamily of G-protein-coupled
receptors. A fourth type of opioid receptor was cloned in 1994
and name the nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) receptor, Several
major subtypes have been proposed, including the episilon (ε),
lambda (λ), and zeta (ζ) opioid receptors. The Committee on
Receptor Nomenclature and Drug Classification of the
International Union of Pharmacology adopted the terms MOP,
DOP, and KOP to indicate mu (µ), delta (δ) and kappa (κ)-opioid
receptors, respectively, as well as recommending the use of the
term NOP for the N/OFQ receptor. Opioid receptors are found

2/2 ... in nerve cells located in the various regions of the brain and
the spinal medulla, as well as in intramural nerve plexuses that
are involved in the regulation of gastrointestinal and
urogenital motility. There are selective agonists and
antagonists to these types, as well as various subtypes.
Radioligand binding assays of brain and other tissues have
been particularly useful in the development of opioid receptor
selective agonists and antagonists (21-23).
Endogenous opioids are peptides found in mammalian
tissue, with three distinct families of classical endogenous
opioid peptides having been characterized. Each of these
families contain unique polypeptide precursors that are encoded
by three corresponding genes, with each family having a
(characteristic distinct) anatomical distribution. These families
include the endorphins, the enkephalins, and the dynorphins. βEndorphin is the major opioid peptide derived from proopiomelanocortin (POMC). Met-enkephalin and leu-enkephalin are
derived from proenkephalin, while dynorphin A, dynorphin B,
and neoendorphin are all derived from prodynorphin. The proopioid proteins are synthesized in the nucleus and transported
to nerve cell terminals prior to their release. Active peptides
are subsequently hydrolyzed from large proteins via
processing proteases that recognize double basic amino acid

How do you balance lifting with med school? I'm only a 1st year and have been struggling to maintain working out 5x a week with getting any studying done, much less having a life outside of those 2 things. Fatigue from workouts accumulates throughout the week and leaves me wanting to sleep in my free time instead of study. Might actually consider using gear just because of all the time it would free up

Anonymous No. 16570849

>>16570840
>5x a week
Don't need that frequency if natty and not competing. 3 is sufficent, 4 is a lot, 5 is just overkill, unless it's something like 3x lifting 2x cardio then it's fine. You can even get away with 2 for maintaining for some time.

If you're doing cardio, consider a bicycle for transportation, it saves a lot of time when your commute becomes your exercise for the day.
>much less having a life outside of those 2 things
Workouts shouldn't be more than 60-90 minutes, plus a short commute. It shouldn't cut into your life that much at 3x a week. You can listen to whatever you have to learn while resting if you're desperate. Consider a home gym setup if possible and commute is long.
>Fatigue from workouts accumulates throughout the week and leaves me wanting to sleep in my free time instead of study.
Sounds like you're not getting enough sleep, that will fuck up both your studying and lifting. Fix your sleep if it's fucked, fucked sleep is terrible for managining time well.
>Might actually consider using gear just because of all the time it would free up
If you're a med student considering using gear, you haven't studied enough. The average user can at least justify their ignorance, you'd be plain retarded. It won't save you any time, you will just want to get bigger, there's no person out there that hops on a little gear and stops working out and ends it there. And i don't care if it's just 200 mg test, it will affect your life expectancy, no such thing as a free lunch. Don't be stupid.

It could be a thousand years old for all i care, it will still be the gold standard if there's literally zero alternatives with a bunch of clinical studies to back them up.

Peppermint oil shouldn't have any eriocitrin or negligible traces, it's made using steam distillation, eriocitrin is not a volatile compound. It's not even listed in the composition table of the "study" you posted.

This isn't even premed, this is high school chem and reading comprehension. Why are you here?

>https://link.springer.com/article/10.5487/tr.2014.30.4.297
They didn't test it on balding mice. They shaved the mice and compared growth speed. All that can be concluded here is that peppermint oil can possibly speed up growth of active follicles, and that it is not due to eriocitrin. This doesn't translate to activation of dormant follicles or prevention of follicle miniaturization in human androgenetic alopecia, which is what you need for regrowth and prevention respectively.

We've been through the literature on peppermint oil, it indeed has fairly negligible amounts of eriocitrin, but still gets into the high hundred of micrograms to milligrams per milliliter, which is more potent than topical fin *if you believe* the binding simulation.

but i had a reminder to check if it was actually blood loss that causes this (as in the blood loss triangle - acidity (pH), temperature (lowered), coagulopathy), and Google says it can

if this is the case (blood loss causes blood sugar levels to rise) then is it - or why is it not - a method of helping diabetics? understanding that there are two types of diabetes, and that one isnt because of the immune systems response to insulin, if that is the reason why. if their blood sugar levels are low then why not bloodlet them

The word you're looking for is denser and yes, piss is typically a bit denser than water is, because urea (the main waste product in piss) is quite a bit denser than water.
>I pissed in the toilet an hour ago and then came back, the yellow piss was on the bottom with clear water at the top
Could just be dehydration, the less water in your piss, the higher the urea content, so denser piss. Could also be excessive proteins/glucose, which could point to beetus/kidney disease/UTI/stones.

I wouldn't worry too much about it if it happened once and there's nothing else going on, but if you're worried and have too much money and time, go piss in a cup and get it tested for glucose and proteins.

If you're in europe, I gurantee that, in total, you paid way over $7k in public healthcare fees that were automatically deduced from your monthly salary. I pay the equivalent of like $500 and I'm from a poor country, so that's just 14 months. I didn't go to the ER in way over 14 months and don't have an american salary, so I'm way worse off than Anon is.

I'm in Australia and yeah my public healthcare costs a decent amount. I've personally used healthcare services a lot though, like easily over $300,000 worth. but it should be paid for by the taxes of some mining company, not by people working a 9 to 5

Lmao no, public healthcare is notoriously underfunded, basic and selective. In my country for example it doesn't even cover treatment of all teeth, only front, need a dental filling in a molar? Get fucked lol.

Don't even get me started on wait times, most of the time i pay for private anyways because i can't be fucked to wait half a year.
>doing it through taxes has the advantage of spreading costs over time
This is great when you're a retard that doesn't comprehend the concept of not living month to month, I guess. It doesn't matter when you save money. It's hurting you when you invest money. The american Anon could have invested his 7k before paying for the ER and have a few k of profit left. I can't do shit with my taxes.
>american health insurance is non-functional
I get the feeling Anon didn't have insurance to begin with. Which is fine, he essentialy made a bet (not gonna get sick, so not gonna pay for insurance) and lost it.

Current treatments against cancer:
>Irradiate the area so that even more cells suffer mutations
>Take cytotoxics so that the entire body dies before the more resilient cancerous cells. Also kill the immune system so that it can't kill neither the tumour nor the occasional mutated cells that appear all the time.
New treatments:
>mrna "vaccįnes" so that (hopefully) your immune system learns how to fight cancerous cells that are essentially indistinguishable from the other normal cells
>Same but with an mrna payload generated by A.I (impossible to know what will it do) and custom-made for a single patient (tested in a population of 0 people)

n. It can be estimated that delivery at 39 weeks EGA would prevent 2 fetal
deaths per 1000 living fetuses. This would translate into the prevention of as many as 6000
intrauterine fetal demises in the United States annually—an impact that far exceeds any other
strategy implemented for stillbirth reduction thus far.

I just had a lot of science classes done so good baseline knowledge, got a perfect score on CARS which is all skill no study, and got mediocre scores in the other ones, a mid-510s score overall

I wasn't on meds at the time and now I am. The doses I need are on the very high end of the spectrum so I don't think most ADHD types have it quite so bad

I don't do it much. But honestly dude its such a potent stress reliever when you're at your limit. It's... nice. I'm genuinely glad I started. I haven't tried anything like benzos, but I really doubt anything else is as strong.

I honestly think that at a low rate of consumption (less than daily in my case, but up to a couple per day) the mental health benefit outweighs any lung or systemic damage. It's also a very social thing if you smoke with someone (especially if you're overseas), though I usually don't. In general, I just think maybe there are things more important than ekeing out a few more years (maybe) of being an old fart.

Not that I'm about to go recommending to patients that they start smoking. If anything, it's good for smoking cessation - picrel. How many docs out there lecture their patients about smoking, while having never tried it even once? Not my style, personally.
