Yea the science is making the dosage ranges and the art is the caregivers administering the medicine and monitoring the patient. I like the science part but the art part is too stressful for me.

For the newly bred and nearly dead dosing is heavily dependent on rate of metabolism. This is why kidney and liver function are so important to dosage. If a person can’t metabolize and clear out metabolites at a steady rate then it increases the bioavailability of a drug in the person’s system and can lead to overdoses. I used to tell my lab students that there’s no guaranteed way to tell how young kids are going to react to a medication just because their little systems are doing so much at wildly different rates.
Aviandelight @mander.xyzto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Partner has ADD, do I have misophonia?15·22 days agoI don’t think you have misophonia. Misophonia is where you have an irrational stress/anger response to certain types of sounds. These sounds set off your fight or flight response. My personal triggers are eating noises and dogs drinking water. I don’t make that my partner’s problem though. I think your partner is being inconsiderate and the constant loud noises are overstimulating for you. You obviously need quiet time to recharge/concentrate and your partner is trying to drown the world out. The whole situation sounds unhealthy and unless you both are willing to work on the underlying issues together it will only get worse.

Aviandelight @mander.xyzto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I have never met a woman named after her own mother7·23 days agoCan confirm myself, my mother, and my maternal grandmother all have the same middle name. Call it a southern thing I suppose. I killed the tradition by being childess and my younger sister refused to pass it to my niece.
This whole thread is glorious. (Also did your autocorrect put up a fight or did it completely give up trying. I’d love it if this is how we fight AI in the future.)
So I actually experienced one of these on 64W between VA Beach and Richmond. It was amazing how everyone including myself just instinctively moved to the sides of the road. It’s not a hard concept it just takes cooperation.
I’ve always bought my husband red shirts because I think he looks good in a bold red color. About 17 years of marriage before he finally told me he doesn’t really care for the color, that he just wants to look good for me.

If for some reason you’re titrating down or have suddenly run out of your SSRIs you can take Benadryl to help with the buzzing and brain zaps. I can confirm this works as I have done it in the past.

Aviandelight @mander.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If there is no heaven or after life, what is the point of living?4·4 months agoOmg there is a name for that. I definitely fear eternity more than I fear death. My only consoling thought is the idea that time is a construct of physical reality so we “have time” to experience living and that really the entirety of time is happening all at once. I have no idea why this idea brings me comfort though.
I’m one of those people that’s switched skill sets and jobs multiple times. It’s great for me because I love learning new things and using the new things I’m learning as it applies to the current job I’m doing. But there is a disadvantage to this in that recruiters don’t know what the hell to do with you and bosses are always suspicious that you will jump ship at the drop of a hat. The ones who do take a chance and hire me have always been happy with my work though.
Fuck yea this is the best news ever and that trailer looks amazing 😍
I went to community college for my first two years and only had adult friends. It was exactly what I needed at the time because they shared their life experience with me and it was immensely helpful in making my own good decisions. Now in my 40s my husband and I are the older friends in our game group who do the same for our 20-something friends. We even convinced one of them to get his GED and had a big celebration for him once he got it when his own family blew him off over it. You have to make your own community where you can and older people outside of family have value too.

So I ask Bert (my grey) every night “Are you ready?” before putting him to bed and I never really thought about it until the day he screamed it back at me as I was leaving for work one morning. I was in fact not ready at all and it was brutal coming from him.

Aviandelight @mander.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People of Lemmy, what games have you been playing lately?2·8 months agoPlanet Crafter Humble DLC and TCG Card Shop Simulator. The Humble DLC is still a bit buggy but it’s nice having a new planet to explore. I’ve paused playing Card Shop Simulator until the developers smooth out the XP grind a bit more.
As a former reptile enthusiast yes this was a valid concern. Making nice with the neighbors helped alot. Also red night lights made it look like we were running a brothel.
