They’re doing the same thing they did back in the 90s with Shanghainese, this time on a much larger scale. Disgusting.

Press X to doubt

Can confirm, my two cockatiels are both assholes when it comes to demanding scritches and stealing human food.

My blood pressure also rose a lot when I was first put on Concerta. My doctor prescribed guanfacine to take along with the Concerta, and it did slowly bring my blood pressure down to normal levels. Hope it works out for you!

I got diagnosed with ADHD-PI at 23, after going no-contact with my abusive parents and finally getting therapy. Growing up, I always knew there was something different about how my brain processed things, but would have never known it was ADHD because I didn’t have any hyperactive symptoms. I was constantly being told that I was lazy, didn’t care, and immature, and being threatened and physically abused didn’t help either. I’m so glad I finally got diagnosed, found meds and organization systems that work for me, and know that neurodivergence is a normal thing!

Yessssssss!

It’s already begun - I’ve been getting “unable to fetch posts”-type errors since this morning. Hang on tight folks, it’ll be a wild ride as we welcome the flood of new Fledditors!

Ask your doctor about guanfacine (Intuniv). It is taken both as an ADHD medication and a blood pressure lowering medication. It might be good either by itself or in conjunction with your current medication to offset the stimulant’s effects on blood pressure.

I had to switch to Azstarys two months ago because literally all the pharmacies in and around my city have my usual generic Concerta on backorder. Looks like the shortage won’t end for a while.

Hi! I created this community after migrating from Reddit. Thanks for posting this, I have no idea how to use Lemmy yet! I’m planning to make a post containing resources for owners of cockatiels and small/medium parrots in general.
