med anons, my psychiatrist diagnosed me with adhd 3 days ago and gave me 2x 5mg ritalin ir for a week, then 2x 10mg ritalin ir for 2 months. I felt some improvement in my focus and was able to stick to projects for longer than I normally did. My head is a lot more quieter and not as frantic as before. But still, it's not as big of an improvement as I thought. Would it get better when I start taking 2x 10mg after a week?

Stims are like the one class where the gains are instant. Long term, yes there is some neurological changes but if you keep using them every day you're not going to improve in the same way other meds would work.
Consider combining with a non stim ADHD med, or switching to an amphetamine, but try adding the non stim first.

The problem is public schools are dogshit. ADHD is a made up disease used to push drugs on little boys.
The public school system caters to a specific learning style and everyone who doesn't have that learning style is essentially considered a trouble maker or drugged.
Hyperactivity isn't treated with drugs it's treated with exercise. Having children sit at a desk for hours at a time is legit retarded and only is done to condition children to be drones for corporate America and get rid of the ones who don't fit the mold.

Also they messed up my diagnosis list and wrote that I have BPSD, do you think that will matter in the future?

actually im convinced that programmers only learn for their 1% of what they are doing (throughout multiple languages) and cant do anything else even if it is the same thing (malware analysis cant write a computer virus for example) if they write code at all if they dont use stackoverflow for every bit of code as is. so gay

It's a protein.
Not sure why that got deleted. Your question is very stupid anyways.
the mRNA palliative gene therapy shot that was somehow classified as a vaccine by the US Congress in 2020 hijacks your body to produce a glycoprotein which is one of the proteins on the exterior of the COVOID-19 virus that helps it penetrate host cells and cause infection. Your body than produces billions of spike proteins that are supposed to trigger your immune system and build a defense against the actual virus... except it doesn't, it just gets your body to recognize one potential spike protein while also, potentially, giving you blood clots.
I personally know three people who have had blood clots where there was no family history of it.

I'm not talking about focus therapy, I'm talking about skills for managing an ADHD lifestyle, stuff like pomodoro, lists, etc. the issue is I'm guessing she has adhd-i since adults rarely seem to have h or C, so interventions for those two are going to be useless.

I feel like this argument applies to all depression treatments. you can start someone on literally any antidepressant and they might show no response or a negative response to it. similarly they might find CBT and exercise don't do anything for them (here I bet they don't stick with it or apply behavioural activation or don't do HIIT)
or if their depression is only a symptom like say of their ADHD then treating the ADHD would likely treat the depression too. or if it's some other random disorder causing their depression that needs a different med or therapy

I have some weird issue that happens from time to time and I have no clue what to do about it:
sometimes (like once a month or less) I feel dizzy and my vision gets blurry, to the point where I have to stop doing whatever I'm doing and sometimes have to go to bed for a while. when this goes away, usually my head hurts. I think this happens when I rest/sleep less than usual, or maybe when I eat too much sugar, or both.
I've been told I might have dysautonomia. I do feel dizzy sometimes when I get up fast, for example. could it be? is dysautonomia a meme?

btw, in (what I assume was) one of my first episodes, I actually kind of lost my memory, consciousness or something, becuase I walked home like 1km from my school and I don't remember much of what happened. I even crossed some streets and I have no clue how...
also, I think I did measure my blood pressure once and it was normal, it didn't drop, but I guess I'd have to check during multiple episodes, right when the symptoms are starting.

No, you're wrong. As I said, impulsive gambling and sex are known to be side effects of dopamine agonists like aripiprazole. But many patients don't get told this, because the medical industry doesn't give a flying fuck about the welfare of patients.

The specific med isn't really important.
Maybe the reason my doctor advises me to take one is because that's just the official advice. "Just be a compliant little slave and take your meds, so it will be easier for you to work some shitty job and pay taxes."
I did a lot of fun things when I didn't take psych meds. So why should I believe anybody who says "you can't do those things again unless you take pills"?

Podiatrists at hospitals do plenty of CLTI amps for anything distal to ankle, it's important work for a life-threatening condition. Kind of unfair though, the podiatrists get to make bank off the easy amputation and debridement work while vascular is stuck doing the more time intensive amputations (more delicate with BKA/AKA than Ortho), and longer bypasses/endovascular procedures to actually ensure that the ray/TMA/Charcot whatever is actually viable

So is cancer a hoax made up by big pharma to sell radioactive medicine that kills you? If it were a real virus then it would have been cured by now. The people who say it's real and that there's a conspiracy to not cure it are retarded because they're not accounting for non-capitalist countries. Rather, it's a conspiracy to fake the existence of a fake condition meant to scare people into compliance and silently remove dissidents. So many cancer deaths are really deaths from old age or dementia or other things that they label as cancer as if it's a blanket label for anything that isn't obvious to a layperson because you're all fucking in on it.

It's still a valid procedure that is used today to treat conditions such as hemochromatosis, porphyria cutanea tarda, polycythemia vera, blood donations are also a form of it.
>The point is, why should I trust doctors now, given the huge number of medical mistakes in the past?
You don't have to, but i find it unlikely that you will actually keep your integrity and refuse all medical treatments in the future. Were you to suffer from heavy abdominal pain and get diagonsed with appendicitis for example, you would most likely beg the evil doctors to remove it before it bursts, like the hypocrite you are.

Taking blood for tests is obviously not the same thing at all as traditional blood-letting.

Again that's not my point. You're deliberately reframing my points into different points.
I'm not saying all of medicine is worthless, because that's obviously not true.
I'm just saying that there will be some current treatments which are actually pretty harmful. It's sensible to weigh up each treatment on its individual pros and cons. But there seems to be an attitude that if you're a patient then you're just not allowed to question what a doctor recommends.

Something that only rich people can afford. And even if you get a second opinion you might still get the same dogmas that are written in current treatment guidelines, even if there are some good reasons to question those dogmas.

Yeah that's literally what's being done. You think doctors are omniscient? When they learn about things like e.g. thalidomide's teratogenicity and adverse effects, the pros get outweighed by the cons for those populations
You can question as a patient, but you are operating off vibes compared to someone prescribing - who is ideally up to date with the literature concerning the topic in their specialty. Medicine and surgery is applied science, consensus is built on experimentation and report back to the wider public

Nope. I find papers from medical journals online, e.g. The Lancet. I read those and I tell my doctor about them. And the doctor says bullshit like "oh I wouldn't believe everything you read online".

Doctors I've seen in recent years are only really up to date with what the prescribing guidelines say. They're not up to date with more recent studies.

I'm currently in my last block of my MS1. Shouldn't I slowly start the Anking deck right now for Step 1 (like 50 new cards a day) and start going hard at it in my short summer? I fucking see 25k cards lol. Plus, my memory is hazy for stuff during my first semester. I'm a DO trying to match to pathology and I'm sort of relying on getting a good foundation for Step 1 and then hopefully a high Step 2 since I have no extracurriculars or shit.
I saw the match rate for pathology dropped to 83.5% for DOs and I'm hoping that shit doesn't drop even further by the time I apply.

Hello path chad. Just wanted to inform you that yesterday I found out I matched pathology through DO, it seems like the trend is more and more DO's are applying and replacing the IMG's who used to apply path. As far as prepping for step 1 as MS1, my advice is to be curious and read stuff like Tobbins or whatever text you like and understand how stuff happens on a deep level. My main resources for studying and learning for step 1 were first aid (which is basically just a list of stuff to know) and uworld. Uworld was my main resource for step 1 and 2, I didn't use anki and scored well for step 2.

I believe the Anking deck has tags for First Aid content and I was thinking about first getting through those high-yield tags and then hitting UWorld. When did you start studying for Step 1 by the way?
And did you do any extracurriculars or any research? I don't really have either...
And finally, why did you pursue pathology? Did you always want to do it? I always hear about most people not seeking the specialty they wanted when they first got into school.

Good questions, I'll try to answer them. I started studying earnestly for step 1 during my dedicated, which was about 1.5 months, but I think I had a good foundation by studying and reading in house stuff during preclinicals, not just for the sake of passing, but to understand stuff. Pathology may be getting a bit more competitive because slightly more US grads and less IMG's are applying. For my extracurriculars, I had no med school research. I did have pathology shadowing in my 3rd year, and then 3 pathology rotations during 4th year, 2 of which were through VSLO at academic places. Pathology experiences, ideally at an academic program, are highly valued in a path applicant. The reason I decided to do pathology was that I liked histology in preclinicals and didn't really like management as much as diagnosing. I also get pretty tired and bored in a clinical setting, because it feels kind of monotonous. From what I've seen, there's plenty of interesting cases different things to do as a pathologist. I went into med school considering gen surg, EM, and IM. I didn't know pathology was an option going in.

I'm going to be real, my sleep has always been fucked and it's just gotten worse over time because of trauma and nightmares. But I want to focus on the sleep, not the psych stuff.
I've tried cbti and several meds, but now I'm not sure what to do. Strong benzos seem to work the best but doctors are very hesitant to prescribe them long term. Antipsychotics work but give me insane side effects and I need relatively high doses (eg Olanzapine 10mg).
My current med stack is
-prazosin 5mg
-melatonin 10mg
-guanfacine 4mg
and Ive got the choice between lemborexant 5mg or Mirtazapine 15mg (I've got a box of both with me). I will probably also start progesterone at the end of the month.
I feel like this is kind of fucked up. Zolpidem didn't work for me. Lorazepam 1mg actually works incredibly well when I've been given it. This isn't all of my meds, but like isn't it too many? I don't know what to do because I've talked to 2 psychiatrists about my sleep.

I hate every waking moment of my life due to my inability to talk to women, got a clinical diagnosis of ADHD-depression and crashed out hard in preclinicals and shelves (nothing over 85 despite studying super hard). I was offered medication but I feel ashamed to take it despite the fact that I know it'll be good for me. Recently I've been watching this one ENT on Instagram who didn't match and how she describes ego death after needing to SOAP into ENT and I get more and more terrified about match day. At least after I get into residency I just have to kind of finish it up and I can get a nice job in NYC or some other cool city for my 30s.

I've heard so much weird stuff about melatonin dosage. Here it's a bit weird, 2mg is the standard prescription, my first psychiatrist told me to take 5mg, but the psych I see for ADHD/autism stuff said people with ASD sometimes need higher doses. I know it's probably way too high I agree.
I'm not sure about osa but I will bring it up, I think my biggest issue is with falling asleep, not so much waking up during the night (though in the mornings I usually wake up to nightmares).
Last night was the first night I took lemborexant and that shit is whack. Seriously the dreams arent just vivid but I woke up an hour after taking it thinking "what the fuck was that". Time just disappears on it.

Olanzapine does. Other ones aren't so bad for weight gain.

I dunno. Is it better to live life as yourself, with all the ups and downs, or as a drugged up zombie?
It should probably be the patient's decision. Rather than a doctor's decision.

Aripiprazole is my preferred SGA because the side effects are arguably not as bad as the others
>low chance of weight gain

A downside of aripiprazole is that it can cause impulsive behaviour like gambling and reckless sex, but thankfully I haven't had those effects.

Are there any specific or broader classes of medication I should be looking into for anxiety that DON'T have negative sexual side effects?
To clarify, I have general issues with anxiety and depression, and Aspergers/Autism, OCD, and ADHD (severe ADHD in terms of execution dysfunction: I either bounce from task to task rapidly, or I hone in on one thing for like 6 hours I didn't even intend to)
But the specific sort of anxiety I want to solve is anxiety and panic attacks when trying to start tasks that often aren't even really that hard to do or take that long, but I've built up in my head as a huge pain, and then I try to give myself a few minutes to prepare doing something else and then I get distracted and postpone it over and over and over, which obviously exacerbates the issues I already have with ADHD and getting shit done
I have Clonazepam prescribed As Needed, but it makes me dizzy and what I imagine being drunk is like (I don't think), with being overly chatty and kinda loopy, so it's not effective in terms of helping me do tasks. I was on Lexapro and Sertaline at various points, and both I didn't notice doing anything, other then it taking forever to cum when fapping, the latter might have actually caused longer term permanent erectile dysfunction even after I stopped taking it, but I think that was Venlafaxine or Buspirone which I took once and noticed issues with then stopped and since then I've had problems getting/mantaining erections.
I'm not sure it even matters at this point since it seems like my ability to have functional erections is shot now anyways, but are there any anxiety meds that DON'T have that issue, in the event I can get the lasting side effect resolved somehow?

Also, are any of the recent appetite suppressant/weight loss meds stuff you don't need to get via injection?
I am litterally almost always hungry, I can eat a ton of food and then still have urges to eat an hour later and repeat that for the whole day/night, even though I'm a manlet and don't actually need that many calories; I can easily eat 3000-4000 calories in a day if I don't make an active effort to basically starve myself and rely on my ADHD meds to cut my hunger
Not sure if it's genetic or taking ADHD meds my whole childhood and teens when in school (which suppressed my appetite) meant I never built up the brain chemistry and self control shit needed to regulate my appetite and sense of hunger, but either way it's a bitch

just eat 3000-4000 calories a day unless you are fat (and other things relate to WHAT you are eating rather than what might be making you unhealthy in other ways)
unless you are a woman i guess (in which case you only need to take off about 500 calories from the low end there)
one tip that people usually give for eating less is eating bigger meals and not snacking. you should also chew your food more (at least 20 times) to feel fuller

Eat cabappi max (1 cup shredded cabbage + 1 egg is one portion)
It's massive. You need to fill your stomach with high volume protein and fiber rich foods, with plenty of liquids to make it all go down. Slowly start reducing the quantity and increasing variety of foods to build healthy habits as you shrink your stomach's baseline capacity.

1. I have enough trouble keeping a consistent schedule and doing the shit I need to do even when there is minimal friction or effort in doing those things. Something that actively requires me to stab myself or go to somebody else to do the injection is gonna add steps and mental effort/energy that's gonna make me not keep up with it
2. I don't trust myself to not fuck up and injure myself
Anyways, I am less concerned about the diet/hunger stuff then I am about anxiety >>16624600

I have two suggestions.
the first is you can ask your pharmacy to do your injection and its usually done for free. if they can keep your semaglutide at the pharmacy you could just swing by once a week for it
the second is to try and schedule it. I inject myself each week with something else and it's a more involved process since I'm drawing from a viral. semaglutide pens are super easy to use, you screw on the needle, twist the back of it, stab it in (it's like 1cm long) and push the button. it's nowhere near as bad as a normal needle is because it's thinner and shorter. it's incredibly difficult to mess it up. I help a relative do hers and all I did was watch a 2 minute video on how it works

Tongue fungus was my first thought as well. Please get checked for some kind of immunodeficiency because the normal average person’s immune system should be able to fight off this fungus easily and it’s a hallmark AIDS or Lupus symptom. Also shows up in chemotherapy, they call it “chemo tongue”
