Reply to Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists were able to accidently view a supernova explosion in a nearby galaxy. According to their study, the discovery could offer new insight into the cosmos. by Impossible_Cookie596
The great filter is actually the absolute inevitability of a super nova restarting life, again for the 42 millionth time since the big bang. JK I made that up, but that would be pretty spooky right?

If it's the one I'm thinking of, I was also on it for migraines. I drank once the night after taking it in the morning. I was not in a good place after 1 drink.

I mean, yeah?
It’s the motivation for the research, so other papers doing similar research on the same overall topic (mfd) would have essentially the same motivation (or at least partly if there are other driving factors)?

We are promised a very bright future if we can get corruption out of our governments and fix our systems.

Naltrexone can also be used off label to help OCD and self harm behaviors like hair pulling and skin picking.

Doctors don't like writing for medications that are not likely to be stocked. It creates a lot of extra headache if a patient gets somewhere and then the pharmacy says they'll have to special order it.

I was on this for migraines a couple of years back per the suggestion of my PCP and it was absolutely one of the worst experiences of my life. I’d honestly never lacked a will to live, but this drug made me feel like it was all pointless. It’s as if every emotion was numbed away from my body. I was having trouble putting thoughts together, eating, and living any semblance of a life. Also food started to taste different which was absolutely bonkers. Stay the hell away from this stuff. For reference I was a young and fit healthy male in my mid-twenties when I was on it. Completely destroyed me.

I’m transitioning off this med, was taking it for headaches but it’s giving me bad anxiety. Like, tightness in my chest feeling all day long. I’m going back to another headache med that worked better at getting rid of the headaches but gave me diarrhea. I’ll take the diarrhea over the anxiety. Once I’m totally off the topiramate I have a few more medications I can try out.
My alcohol use has decreased but that’s because I had to have a spinal tap ct scans and MRI’s to figure out what’s wrong with me and I don’t want being a fat ass to be the reason for my medical problems, so I’m loosing weight and it turns out there are a lot of calories in alcohol.

It actually is part of a weight loss drug, isn't it? I dont remember the name, but the drug is a mix of Topirimate and Phentermine.

Not “born to rebel,” it’s just how much resources and concern is given out. By the kid is a tertiary or back up tertiary kid then the parents tend to get pretty casual.
