    I work in mental health and deal with a lot of guys fresh out of prison. Many of these guys would have less trouble finding work if they didn't have prison tattoos on their necks and faces.

    You could probably burn close to 5000 calories even walking a marathon, which is about 1.5 lbs of fat.

    Chronic Pain

    I've known several people who've done well with some of the IV RA medications. I think people only have to take them 1x a month (or something like that). Or even a shot of Enbrel. This is out of my realm of expertise but you're probably right to seek treatment elsewhere.

    Chronic Pain

    I get the feeling you're asking for narcotics and he is saying no. I've never had chronic pain, so I don't have any idea what is like to be in your shoes but I would avoid opioid pain medication. Most people end up having lots of problems due to those medications. If you get in to see the...

    Depression

    I am not certain of the strength of Tramadol's serotonergic action. Half life of medication also plays a role in discontinuation syndrome (that is why you must taper Paxil but you can just stop Prozac). I use Lexapro a lot. It is the active isomer of Celexa. It usually has less side effects and...

    If you can't tell the difference between frozen custard (like Freddie's or Culvers or whatever your local version of Ted Drewes is) and soft-serve (ie Dairy Queen) you best get your head checked. Mainly it is a texture thing with custard having a thicker, more decadent mouth feel.

    The Fast Food Thread

    One of my favorite fast food items is Burger King's onion rings. With that said, I have not eaten them in over 10 years due to the incapacitating stomach cramping and horrific gas they cause. When I say gas, I mean massive, disgusting farts approximately once a minute. These farts are bad enough...

    Schizophrenia or Bipolar Disorder. It can cause akathesia (extreme restlessness) and other motor side effects. There are a million others but those are fairly common.

    People really seem to hate the sublingual formulation because it makes their mouth numb and it tastes bad.

    Unless the hospital puts you on a hold (which they can only do if you are a danger to yourself or others), they can't force you to stay and you can leave the hospital against medical advice.

    Depression

    Depression

    You can use lithium as an adjunct treatment for depression and it is also used for people who are chronically suicidal. It is best for treating mania (you can use Depakote too). It can damage your kidneys if you don't maintain proper hydration or if your psychiatric provider doesn't monitor your...
