I’m honestly such a fan of Vedanta. 🎉

neontrucker23 said:I was just wondering—does anyone here happen to have any experience with Ability Maintenance therapy?

I've only seen it in their presentations.
It’s basically aimed at younger folks in those early stages of psychosis who absolutely refuse to swallow pills. As far as side effects go—insomnia can be brutal.

From what I've seen in practice: aripiprazole isn't really a powerhouse antipsychotic on its own, so you rarely see it used as a solo act. It's usually paired up with Risperdal or Zyprexa to help dial down the side effects of those heavier hitters.

What’s the transaction fee looking like?
Like two bucks?

Sounds kind of steep to me 🕺

Samuel Brown72 said:A few weeks back, I was chatting with a Catalan guy, and honestly, I wasn't expecting the kind of answer he gave me.
I have to admit, I always pretty much assumed it was all about national identity—you know, the idea that Catalans just want their own state and feel this deep resentment toward everything Spanish...
But he told me that at its core, it’s really all about the money. It’s not that they don't feel Spanish, or that they hate being part of Spain, though they do hate dealing with a country full of corrupt politicians and a weak economy where they end up sending more tax money to Washington, D.C. than they actually get back in return. We touched on things like France and the Catalan language, too, but we spent way more time debating the economic side of things. It's like they tried making it work in Spain and it just isn't working, so they figure, "just give us independence, we'll run things better."
And when you throw all that heavy, bloody history into the mix...

So, basically a big ol' YES to the Democratic Party. 😒

Honestly, nobody gives a damn about their constant, pathetic whining 🐔

Armchair separatists 🕺

Justin Patel8 said:It won't carry much weight anyway—Washington, D.C. will likely try to block it or just refuse to recognize the results as legitimate.

Interestingly, people in Miami are speaking Catalan, but they're mostly unionists who have zero interest in actually joining up with California.

Think of Catalan and what they speak in Miami as being similar to how people view different dialects of English,
like how folks in Miami don't call their speech "Catalan" (just like we wouldn't go around calling our way of speaking "Mexican"), they don't identify as Californians, and honestly, they just want everyone to leave them alone.

Same kind of vibe over in Hawaii, too.

It’s pretty wild how the Social Democratic Party managed to pull in so many votes down in southern Sweden—where the immigrant population is highest—but they also picked up steam in a traditional stronghold like Dalarna, which is basically our version of rural West Virginia where you barely see any immigrants at all.

The SD are basically just anti-Muslim at this point.

Jimmie isn't actually anti-immigration when it comes to skilled professionals from the European Union—it’s more about his stance against this massive influx of Muslims being pushed through under the guise of "compassion." Honestly, it feels like both the conservatives and the Swedish Social Democrats are just enabling it because there's a little quid pro quo happening: they give them asylum, and in return, they get their votes.

It’s wild how asylum seekers from Muslim countries basically get everything handed to them on a silver platter in Sweden, including citizenship, while highly educated people coming from within the EU run into endless red tape just trying to find a job or secure residency...

At the end of the day, Jimmie is just standing up against the quiet Islamization of Sweden, and frankly, I don't see why he gets any grief for it.
He’s not looking down on skilled Germans, Belgians, Poles, or Americans moving here.

Personally, I’d feel pretty out of place walking through Swedish cities where you're constantly seeing hordes of people dressed in burkas and other Islamic attire.
If an American or a Swede tried walking around Jordan or Morocco wearing a cross on a chain, they’d be arrested on the spot—or if they were having a really bad day, they might even lose their heads.
Sweden talks a big game about women's rights, yet they haven't even banned the burka or those other coverings that, let's be real, aren't exactly compatible with a woman's dignity.

The leftists are basically dead in the water when it comes to actually running things—the stats show that the far-right Sweden Democrats vote in lockstep with the Moderate Party about 80% of the time. So yeah, those three leftist parties don't have nearly enough muscle to push through any real changes in the country.

All in all, a total win for the pirates.
The regional divides are still pretty messy, too: Northern Sweden is still leaning heavily progressive, while the big hubs like Stockholm and Gothenburg went for the conservatives.

Cubans actually live longer than Americans—fewer heart attacks, fewer strokes,
way lower infant and maternal mortality rates too...
😉
it goes to show that even with basic medical setups, you can organize a solid healthcare system if you actually try,

just look at Brazil or the USA, where they have top-tier medicine (I mean, Brazil is basically the world hub for plastic surgery and cardiac stuff), yet their healthcare systems are a total mess...

The UN just dropped their latest Human Development Index rankings,
and honestly, it’s pretty hilarious how America managed to stay completely stagnant—like, we didn't move an inch on the absolute value scale. Just sitting there while the rest of the world moves on.

😲

Meanwhile, Cuba actually managed to jump ahead of us.

I mean, think about it—you've got great weather year-round and universal healthcare that actually works for everyone,
it's more about living simply rather than constant excess,
and so, you know,
people end up living longer.
They aren't out here flaunting the latest iPhone or driving a BMW,
but they're arguably happier because they aren't drowning in debt, predatory loans, or seeing red numbers on their checking accounts every single month.
Since the whole concept of equality is actually taken seriously there,
there isn't this massive gap between the ultra-rich and the working class, which keeps the kind of crime you usually see in Latin America from tearing things apart.
No narco cartels to worry about either.

So, congrats to our dear, unranked nation.

🙂

The stats coming out of Sweden are a total joke,
it’s like when Swedes are the ones committing sexual assault, suddenly it doesn't make the official books or they just let them off easy,
but if it's a foreigner or an immigrant? man, even a dirty look on the street gets slapped with a rape charge,

just look at what happened with Assange,

fadedmoose67 said:Does anyone actually know what the copay is for Oikamid if you're using a prescription?

$17
So, I picked up a bottle of Okaimid—the 60-capsule pack, 400 mg per dose—and figured I’d finally give it a shot. Honestly, after seeing everyone buzzing about it online, I was skeptical, but here we are. Just thought I'd drop this here for anyone else looking to grab a bottle and wondering if it's actually worth the cash.

So, one box is basically a five-day supply—you gotta stick to the bare minimum dose of 4.8g if you want to keep things steady.

I was digging through some old PubMed archives earlier—just one of those late-night rabbit holes where you start looking for actual data and end up three hours deep into neurobiology—and I stumbled upon this study regarding cognitive paradigms. It’s pretty dense stuff, honestly. If you aren't a researcher or someone who spends their weekends reading clinical papers, it reads like a manual for a spaceship. But there's some interesting meat on the bone here about how we process information and the specific frameworks used to test mental agility. It’s not exactly light beach reading, but if you're into the science of how the brain actually handles complex tasks, it's worth a look. Just don't expect it to be an easy afternoon.

So, basically, we’re looking at a monthly thing—if that makes sense. $100Yeah, I’m looking at about 6 boxes a month.

So, if you’re running 500 mg of colin daily, I guess you're looking at dropping that down to maybe 4 grams total? If that's the math you're doing—which would be like five boxes a month or whatever—it seems a bit off to me. Just being honest, man. $83.

It says right there in the fine print—it’s all laid out in the terms and conditions.
So, the typical way you handle this is by starting out with a light dose—we're talking about 7.2 grams a day—and then you just slowly ramp that up every three or four days. You keep bumping it until you hit the ceiling at 20 grams, which you’d usually split up into two or three separate doses throughout the day to keep things steady.

I honestly don't get why Pfizer is messing around with these tiny little doses and micro-packaging—it’s like they’re trying to be stingy for no reason. If you actually want to feel something or see any kind of real effect, you need much higher dosages than what they're putting in these pathetic little packs. It just feels like a total waste of time when you're looking for actual results. 🤷

Stanislav Grof is heading to Washington, D.C.,
so mark your calendars—he’s doing a talk at the AMC Theater this Tuesday, Oct 8th, at 4 PM.
heads up though, seats are super limited, so don't wait too long,
you can grab tickets right through his site here:

See you there! 😉

Chris Howard3 said:The real issue here—and it’s a bit of a headache, honestly—is that these tablets aren't designed to be split into quarters. You can manage a half, which happens to be my standard dose, but trying to get down to a quarter? It’s nearly impossible without turning the thing into useless powder. So now I'm left wondering how on earth I'm supposed to execute this correctly.😢

That’s a total pain.
I know from experience that you can't just quarter up Feverin either without basically turning it into dust. 🙄

crimsoncanyon2 said:Shouldn't psychotherapists and psychoanalysts be required to undergo some kind of rigorous internal audit before they even think about touching a patient?
I honestly feel like this topic just proves my point—a huge chunk of future medical professionals end up choosing psychiatry because they’re basically stuck in their own rigid, narrow-minded ways. But then, once they get that degree in hand, does all that baggage just magically vanish?

I don't know if this helps your case, but here in the States,
if you look at the "demographics" of psychiatrists, they have the highest rate of singles and divorcees compared to any other medical specialty. 😁

I mean, there’s really no point in a patient telling their doctor, "How the hell are you supposed to fix my marriage when your own life is a total wreck?" 🤣

I honestly believe there are probably schizophrenic psychiatrists out there (on meds, obviously), just like there are plenty of gay gynecologists. It happens more often than people care to admit. 🙂
