Topiramate successfully dulled my interest in everything outside of drinking. Some people may find some benefit, but it's no magic bullet.

Just don’t call it Theranos 2. People might get suspicious

>Any study into rebellion is going to be difficult to gauge because what constitutes 'rebellion' in the context of family and upbringing is going to vary wildly between families and even individuals.
There probably are some straightforward ways of getting at this. I wonder why you can't just ask the participant to rank on a Likert Scale how much they agree with statements like "my personal values contrast with my parents" or "my actions contrast with those of my nuclear family". As long as you don't code it in charged language, people, in Western countries at least, are open about this stuff.
Real issue I take is, I can't help but feel like birth order effects would vary, and be moderated by things like sibling closeness, age, or perceived sibling social status. Like, I can see an opposite effect to tje rebel hypothesis for people particularly close to their siblings, while those who are less close would be more likely to strive to be unique.

I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow, so I’ll ask about that. I’m just 14 days sober, and doing my best to remain that way. AA makes it difficult with the god aspect, but that’s my best bet since other options are few and far between due to my schedule.

Doesn't naltrexone already do this pretty well?

Surely we still remember Theranos, it's been less than a year since sentencing

What happens when they gain sentience, evolve teeth, and float around trying to face hug everyone? Where will Samus be then?

How many of you also have GERD or reflux. Thinking that could play in as well.

It reminds me of a sci-fi story where aliens arrived and offered some civilization-changing technology package in exchange for something like 500 fresh human brains.
