You can dance to dubstep?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

As someone who was a dancer for more than 20 years, you can dance to anything. Some songs are more difficult to choreograph than others, but yes.

Got a call back from a company that I applied for a job with a few weeks back today. Mobile phone battery died during the call and I have no number to call them back on. It was a job I actually wanted too and not just something I sent an application off to because the pay was good. FML.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

They should call you back, I think everybody knows these days a battery can be charged again .
Unless it was a call to turn you down, or you could google it and phone them. it's pretty easy for them to give you the correct number or transfer you.
There's always 118.

Oo oo, I see an opportunity to say something amusingly off color. You know who dances really well? Deaf strippers. The explanation I got for this was that they're going off the pulse of the music they can feel in their bodies, which tends to be the most important part when dancing to popular music, without the distraction of the high register noise that gets laid over it. Kinda makes sense.

Pet peeve: Generic mood stabilizers that apparently stabilize me in a shitty, unproductive mood that's of no use to anyone. When I was taking the on-brand version of this chemical, everything was coming up aces and I was finally getting my life moving again. Three days after I switched to the generic I crashed hard, and the month since has been no better than before I got my prescription. You'd think it wasn't doing anything at all except that I still have side effects. When I get back on health insurance it will be economically feasible for me to go back on brand, but that was supposed to be five days ago and I'm still not showing up in the system. >_<

Three days seems a bit soon for it to deplete from your system. They normally take a few weeks to build up and begin to work then a couple of weeks to completely go. Unless its something like valium or lithium that can space you out taking just the one. Brand or generic there's virtually no difference in the result,

I hate to say it's all in your head, But somewhere deep down you are seeing them as completely different products and your mind manifests it in this way.
Theres a small difference in the chemical make-up of the medications but only slightly, They have the same components in them.
There has been cases where people react more to certain elements in a medication but it's very rare.
If you want you can Pm the medication and I'll ask one of my Dr friends about it if its not something I use regularly on patients. I may have to google the english name of it though. like cups, sticks, sidewalks and fanny's they all have different names over here lol >.<
Chin up mate.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

The medication is called lamictal or lamotrigine. Fluctuations in dosage can have dramatic effects as soon as the next day. Every time I've missed a dose I had dramatic mood swings the next day, as in shaking with rage so badly I could hardly hold an object, in response to routine irritations, which had never occurred in my life before and has only happened in that specific context.

I agree with what you're saying about what "should" be true. At worst I should be getting the exact same chemical with the exact same effects at 80% of the indicated dosage. There shouldn't be a dramatic difference. But those aren't the results I'm observing. I had two months on brand and they were two of the best in my life. I've been on generic for one and it's been indistinguishable from being on no meds. I know I'm talking about correlation vs causation, but it's hard to do a conclusive test about how one person interacts with one drug, especially on a mood disorder where the results are literally all in your head and subjective, and when depression casts its own amplified selection bias over your memories.

Maybe you're right and what I'm experiencing is a subverted placebo effect, but it doesn't really matter to me whether that's true or not. The placebo effect is still an effect. Whether by biochemistry or pure psychology, the pills I had before were working and these are not.

Apologies if the above sounds snippy. Obviously these questions are near to my heart.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Don't worry I'm not offended at all.
I was worried I'd have offended you in my response also.

I've mentioned before that I myself have suffered with bouts of depression.
I don't know much about that drug personally. I have used it before but only a handful of times for things like severe seizures, That's in a career of 10 years. I just had to google it myself I had a feeling it was somewhere close to lithium which would explain the sudden change in your mood.

Hopefully you'll be able to get your original prescription again, It's one of those drugs that if it's working then its best to leave it alone. I feel bad for you dude.
I'd hate to live in a place where healthcare is tied to personal finance. It's cases like this where I realise how lucky I am to live somewhere where healthcare is free.
Medications we do have to pay for are really cheap and even then there are ways around it with benefits and medical cover cards.
One thing is for certain is that I personally couldnt cope being a nurse in the Us. So much needless suffering caused by those that only see profit margins and targets. I barely understand things like business and government workings over here so it's unfair of me to judge the systems where you are, In my personal opinion it does seem cruel things work that way.

It makes me want to go into work and fill a shoebox with them and post them to you lol.

If I knew I could get away with it I would.
Unfortunately that particular medication requires 2 signatures on my ward.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

It'll be alright soon enough if I'm right about what's going on. I've lived with this a long time; I can put up with it long enough for the insurance to sort itself out. Just the sooner the better, you know?

[Satori]

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Yeah I get it,
It just sucks to feel like you're in an emotional limbo. Especially when you know what can sort it out.
