Huh, that explains the 4B movement in S. Korea.

Have you considered checking out your local Community College?

I am not sure what to call the genera but there is something so very consuming and soothing about Papers Please. It’s hard to describe how that game pokes just the right parts of my brain meat but it does. A major part of the game is learning patterns and picking out the pieces that are out of place and my goodness does my brain get a kick out of finding typos, inconsistent city locations, and mis-matching information between documents. I need to process an avalanche of information quickly but it doesn’t feel overwhelming, instead it is oddly soothing. The game is also short enough that I can binge and get to the end without ruining my life unlike something more open ended like Oxygen not Included.

Short answer, yes. You do build tolerance over time and will need to change formulation every few years. When I have changes in medication it takes about 2 weeks to get used to, and I have heard it can take a month or 2 to get used to other mental health medications. Just ride it out for a few more days unless the jitters are unbearable. Remember, you can always talk to your doctor about changing your formulations so feed back your issues so you can fine tune it.

Glad you found it! I forgot if I had taken my meds and popped one. Turns out I had taken my meds that morning and doubling up made me very aware of my eyes, so yeah when in doubt I go without.

I have been moving around over the years and have been shocked at the varying quality of care I have received for my ADHD. Some Drs just took my old prescription no question asked. Others required me to come in once a month for 3 months to “establish care” before giving me the option to request refills without physically seeing them (it’s much more common for them to only want to see me once every 4 months and they will write prescriptions in-between). One actually gave me a very unpleasant lecture about how he didn’t believe I should be taking be taking the medication at all because that and taking birth control would ruin my chance at having children. To answer your question, I have never been required to take a marijuana drug test before getting a prescription , that just sounds crazy and controlling. You mentioned hat the facility mainly provides substance abuse care, and I think you might be on to something there. If you choose to continue with that facility ask them questions about their medication policies is general. Like is this a one time thing or are they going to withhold your prescription if you can’t pass a monthly drug test? Is it their facility’s policy that patients are expected to abstain from all non-prescription drugs to receive care, or is it just this instance? If you have your diagnosis and dosage you may want to consider changing the Dr, care facility, or both. Best of luck.
