Sadly.
Are you still on Remeron? 'Cause ain’t no drug in the world gonna stop that weight gain. Seriously. However, when you stop taking the Remeron it should resolve itself quite nicely in a few months. Uh, but don’t stop until you have a replacement.
Meanwhile, I suggest becoming familiar with the term ‘agranulocytosis.’ Rare, but a real bitch.
Do a search for threads started by Bronze Lion. (Or possibly bronzelion.) Kind of like the OP but - and this is the scary part - far less coherent. He was convinced that women only went to doctor’s appointments so they could have sex with the doctor. Good crazy fun.
No, no no- he called the male prostitutes who came to their offices ‘doctors.’
Thanks, Imma go search for the thread now.
Another lesson learned- gettting multiple opinions. :smack:
Alright, I’m ugly too. Got that old joke out the way :rolleyes:.
Oh for fuck’s sake.
Guess what, I get a one-in-a-million side efect from Erythromycin, oh yes and I’m allergic to Penicillen. This means that if I have any infection (even mild bronchitis or sinusitis) I have to opt for very strange antibiotics or face admission to hospital for IV drugs, as that little allergy combo wipes out about 90% of antibiotic medications.
Hence I got Septrin (co-trimoxazole) for a Sinus infection, after careful discussion with my doctor. Septrin has some very rare but extrememly serious side effects. We decided, however, that letting the sinusitis continue was more dangerous, and that this was the best option for me, as it would more than likely have fewer side effects than any other medications, and I wouldn’t have to go to hospital.
Since Septrin isn’t really used here outside of long-term prophylaxis and treatment of PCP in AIDS patients, my 5 day course caused a kerfuffle in the pharmacy. Not only did I get grilled, but my doctor got a phone call to check that it was the right drug, for the right indication, for the right duration.
Some of my colleagues (I’m a final year med student) and the doctors on my rotation saw what I was taking with my meals, and I again got the third degree. Everyone was REALLY worried that my doctor had prescribed the wrong medication.
You don’t like your doctor, you don’t like Mirtazapine, big deal.
Maybe it was the best option available for you at the time, just like my weird and wacky Septrin was the best for me…not ideal, not perfect, just the best available for ME at the time.
Grow up and take some responsibility.
Nobody is out to take you for a ride, or deliberately harm you.
They may be trying to get you out of their office as soon as possible though…
andrewt85 on doctors: “worthless overpaid golf-playing fuckers, w/ your hypocritical (sic) oaths”
andrewt85 on psychiatrists “quacks”
andrewt85 on pharmacists: “worthless”
andrewt85 on his own occupation: silent
Looks like andrewt85 is a bag boy: “I’ll just spit it out: at my grocery store, we always bag in plastic unless the customer asks for paper.” http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=6815830&postcount=2
Nice to see that he has done something far more useful with his life than being a hypocritical worthless quack.
The world needs more bag boys.
I know a few bag boys. And if the greenbacks weren’t there, they’d be gone. Fuck bag boys! :mad:
Hey, the title is cashier first of all, I swipe and bag :D, and I practically told you that when I was ranting about the pharmacy cashier girl back on page 2; second of all, hopefully I won’t be doing this for a living (this is part-time work) (cue the jokes about how I will or will be working at McDonalds or some shit); and finally, if I rung customers up for apples that were controlled substances known to cause heart disease, and oranges that can cause incredible weight gain, and Milk that can cause memory loss, even though I’m not the manager (the doctor who prescribed it) but am just the cashier/bagger helping you get it (the pharmacist), I’d still fucking warn you, my customer, b/c I AM NOT A FUCKING STUPID FUCK. AND IF I, A FUCKING CASHIER/BAGBOY AT A FUCKING GROCERY STORE WHO MAKES 7.50 AN HOUR, WOULD HAVE THAT DECENCY AND PRESENCE OF MIND FOR MY CUSTOMERS, THAN HOW CAN THESE OVERPAID FUCKING DOCS AND QUACKS NOT!!!
I turned that one around on your asses, didn’t I? 
No, you didn’t, because the cashiers didn’t go to school to learn all about the medicines, and they didn’t actually dispense them. They only hand you the already dispensed medicines, and ring up your total. All they need to know to carry out their jobs is how to run the register/computer, and to take insurance information, sometimes they’ll have patients sign HIPPA forms if the policies have changed. (Most of them are about High School/early college age at my pharmacy.) The cashiers can, however get a printout for you, with information on the medicines if you ask them to do so. The ones that I see when I fill my prescriptions also will get the attention of a pharmacist who will talk to me about my medicines if I ask them to. They can’t tell you what they don’t know. That is why it is YOUR job to ask for the leaflet, or ask to talk to the pharmacist.
Cite, please.
The funniest post I’ve ever seen!
andrewdt85, there is nothing wrong about you having a mental illness. You cannot help it. There is nothing wrong about you being stupid. Again, you cannot help it. There is nothing wrong with you being a bag boy, for you are doing the best you can to the limit of your abilities.
What is wrong is for you to make baseless attacks on several health care professions.
I do not think that you are so mentally ill and so stupid that you cannot restrain yourself from spewing your little balls of defecate derision, but perhaps I am mistaken.
It is your choice as to whether or not you wish to continue to embarrass yourself by your ongoing meltdown.
Yeah? Do you warn every customer that peanut allergies can kill? Do you warn them about gastrointestinal distress that milk may cause to those with lactose intolerance. Do you give fair warning that the cleaner they are buying needs to be used in a fully ventilated room, kept away from children and animals, and never, every to be drank? If you don’t do these things, you are a liar and a hypocrite, on top of being the biggest fucking idiot I have ever seen on these boards.
Lets see, a loser cashier at a grocery store ranting about people in occupations that make lots of money. Hah, nothing to see here folks, just a piss poor broke moron green with envy about those better, smarter, and richer than himself.

I do want to make you aware of this Thread
Really are you okay.
This rant and your replies are somewhat deranged.
I am glad to see you kind of apologized to QtM but you do not seem rational of late. Maybe you should slow down a little. You are reminding me of a line from the movie “Mean Girls”. The main character suffers from “word vomit”. You seem to have had a bad case of this, this weekend.
Jim
Oooh. yeah you did.
I guess there’s nothing to add after that. We’ll all just go home now. Hey, Mods, could you just shut the boards down now? Andrew says we’re all done.
BTW - Disclaimer. ** VCO3**. From Chicago. Speaks for himself and his “thoughts” and opinions should in no way be considered indictative of anyone else from this area.
Nope, we all now think ** VCO3** is a typical product of the Chicago school system.
You would be better off claiming he was really from Iowa or something.
Jim
OK, the CPS I think can claim him, no problem there. I got out of there befofre I started school, so i could go to a safe suburban school, and did the same for my daughter.
My wife on the other hand, is a CPS product.
