you’re NOT supposed to take both Vyvanse and Abilify together

“It depends”. You have to monitor your blood work, heart rate, blood pressure, watch for arrhythmia etc. However your post implies Abilify was prescribed for autism alone. If this is the only reason, then you might as well discontinue as it’s only indicated for irritability and the costs almost certainly outweigh the benefits in that case. If it was prescribed for something else that may be another matter.

When you were put on these drugs were they prescribed at the same time? Did you start at low doses and titrate up to try to find a sweet spot for symptom reduction without significant side effects? You have a pretty long list of conditions. Were you experiencing all of this before you went on medication or is it increasing?

Was the Trintellix prescribed to replace this or were you on all 3 of these at once? All of these drugs inhibit the reuptake of serotonin (and Vyvanse increases it’s production). Dosages and individual body responses differ but it’s not usually advisable to stack lots of these drugs due to the risk of serotonin syndrome.

For SAD you should get a light box if you haven’t already. It’s mostly a one off cost + electricity. Also where possible getting outside in the fresh air for a walk (weather permitting) will do wonders beyond the effect of getting more light. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/seasonal-affective-disorder/in-depth/seasonal-affective-disorder-treatment/art-20048298

According to the police the hit was ordered on a member of a SE Asian drug gang… by his own gang. Should make the next company bbq a bit awkward

Infamously grindy schooling in EA is even worse in Korea than it is in Japan or was in China before they clamped down. If students don’t make it into one of the top unis that’s it for their career.

Once people are in their 40’s it becomes extremely difficult to get hired and after 55 employers are legally allowed to begin reducing peoples wages. Many seniors don’t qualify for pensions and live in poverty.

Hyper shallow K-Pop and extreme rates of plastic surgery suggest a vapid culture. A large portion of the population calls it ‘Hell Joseon’

The more I read about South Korea, the less surprising this is

Just in case anyone is interested this is bad science. Homo Longii is at this point generally agreed to be Denisovan. This, Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens all evolved from Homo Erectus. Denisovan and Neanderthal DNA was introgressed into our gene pool during multiple breeding events where we ultimately won Y & mtDNA fitness competitions. These hypotheses were fine before we had the DNA mapped

Yeah obviously that’s a mistake on my part (should have been worse off now than it was under communism) but it relates back to the original part of western communists wanting to retvrn to the USSR and it’s Satellites.

He claims that 77% of Czechs for example believe the country is worse off under communism.

https://github.com/dessalines/essays/blob/main/socialism_faq.md

The medium article he linked says

Roughly 28 percent of Czechs say they were better off under the Communist regime, according to a poll conducted by the polling institute SC&C and released Sunday.

Only 23 percent said they had a better life now.

https://medium.com/@RichieBrownShow/communist-nostalgia-as-the-reality-of-bourgeois-democracy-hits-home-in-eastern-europe-3960aa341560

From the actual article

The previous regime was assessed as better by 31 percent of Czechs, while roughly the same proportion, 32 percent, preferred the existing system.

Even though that’s not a good result, it’s still vastly different to his view… that it should be reintroduced. It’s also from 2011 so is cherry picked as broadly speaking things were rough in the earlier period of transition to democracy.

Plenty of Americans shit on the USA and it’s not just the communists

… No

Just took a look and I would almost guarantee this guy is western and even more likely in the anglosphere. One of those interesting situations where countries that actually experienced authoritarian socialism (like yours) are far less supportive of its reintroduction than countries who didn’t experience it. I wonder why…

It’s not just Lemmy, fedi in general has dipped. There are also so many alternatives. When Digg imploded, internet growth was still exponential and Reddit was close to a single alternative. Now Reddit is bigger than Digg ever was. Digg had 40m MAU back in 2009 where as Reddit has 90m DAU so more than twice the monthly unique users in a day. Add to this there are multiple options, just on on fedi: kbin, piefedi, mbin, lotide. Then there are all the standalone sites, disqus being the biggest.

Dr John Money, who had a kid transed and then had his brother act out simulated sex with him as a pre pubescent child? Who also reported the project as a success even after the subject David Reimer told his parents he felt male and started presenting as one? Sounds like a rehabilitation article tbh
