This is pretty funny given the recent political assertions that Tylenol causes autism, because rejection sensitive dysphoria is a symptom of autism/adhd
Edit: that N.B. is pretentious as fuck. Don't take an incredibly tiny study with very little scientific traction as fact. Presenting it as fact demonstrates how little the OP understands about research
Wait
I'm abnormally sensitive about rejection because of my AuADHD?
What the flipping fuck. Fuck this shit. What drugs just turn off my brain so I can just be a blob of flesh until I die of old age since they don't like how often I complain about existence being so goddamn difficult.
What drugs just turn off my brain so I can just be a blob of flesh
Alcohol.
Sheesh, tell me about it, just about every quirk of my personality turns out to be an ADHD symptom in the end.
I hear you, I'm ND too. Reading about things like RSD being common in people like us has at least helped me be easier on myself.
Existence is goddamn difficult and I wish I had an answer, because turning my brain off sounds wonderful. Alcohol can do that, but it comes with some awful consequences. I've also abused quetiapine, but eventually that fucked me up too. Weed does not play nice with my brain
Man quetiapine just made me panic and feel like I couldn't breathe. Actually there are a shit ton of "sedating" medications that do that to me thinking about it.
Except of course benzos, but thanks to those being cross tolerant with z drugs, they really gotta pump those in me to work at all.
I've had a little success with clonodine.
I remember abilify completely shut off my ability to think. Still had emotions, just no reasoning.
People talk about Dating being this thing that's easy to do. Yeah. Maybe if you had any choice over what was and wasn't difficult.
Im thinking about walking into therapy tomorrow and just asking "do I have to work if I'm just gonna be miserable anyway?"
What the flipping fuck. Fuck this shit. What drugs just turn off my brain so I can just be a blob of flesh until I die of old age since they don't like how often I complain about existence being so goddamn difficult.
Marijuana.
Different people react differently to molecules. In some people (I think higher prevalency in people with Autism/AD(H)D) the THC is more likely to cause psychosis.
These things are not "one size fits all", at all.
Edit: When I made this comment the person above was being unfairly down voted. What they said has scientific merit and the reader can easily verify.
It might be a symptom but is it the thing that occurs only in autistic people and normal people do not experience this feeling?
You get deep enough into any emotion and it will start overlapping physical neurotransmitter pathways.
Just ask anyone thats done research into schizoid personality disorder.
the cause of my autism is also the cure, i see
ugh it was until i turned 27 and started getting hungover from singular beers >:(
Increased hangover even with less alcohol kicked in for me in my early 30s, but mine was likely due to interaction with prescribed medications I'm still on. Either way, my organs thank me.
yeah I'm only half mad because i have other health issues i need to be working on, i don't need to be adding a carcinogen into the mix
plus, all the homebrew and cocktail hipsters are also getting old, so the NA beverage industry is gaining momentum
Seedlip and Pearson's spirits, Asahi Zero and Athletic beer, Lyre's cocktails, and BOLLE and French Bloom wines are some of my craft NA faves
I have feel like that pretty often when sad, it does genuinely hurt
So it makes sense to me
You telling me I can painkiller my way away from the massive amounts of cringe I generate? Say less, lemme go buy a costco-sized barrel of excedrin
It seems like a weird idea at first, but people self-medicate with all sorts of substances to ease their mental pain. Thinking of it that way, it makes sense that a pain reliever like acetaminophen might help.
Old doctor joke: Patient: "Hey Doc, it hurts when I do this." Doc: "Quit doing that!" Same holds true of social pain. Trust yourself, stay true to yourself, avoid the pain sources, and 'find the others'.
More easily said than done, for some of us.
More like proof paracetamol fucks up your brain, we already know it kills empathy
And according to America's Leading Experts™️, it causes autisim
There is also research that shows that acetaminophen is not a particularly effective pain reliever, or at least, that it is only an effective pain reliever for a subset of the population.
So I don't know how much this would prove.
Anecdotally it doesn’t work for me, exactly. It sort of makes me feel numb and slow. So sometimes I take it specifically to get that feeling. This happens even in small doses.
I hit something a little different for my depressed attitudes and it works as good as a prescribed medication. Alpha GPC
If alpha GPC (choline) works you might have methylation mutations impacting your folate metabolism. Have a look at methylfolate, b2 and methylcobalamin and maybe get your MTHFR, MTR, MTRR, COMT genes tested. The supplement trimethylglycine might do ya wonders too
Yeah I'm not doing any of that. Already don't have a full deck to play with, so they could just call it that and fee me to the poorhouse for the priviledge. Alpha gpc's main attraction is its cheap and easy to get
Alpha GPC is literally the most expensive thing on that list, those are vitamins B2, B9 and B12. You'll probably benefit from egg yolk which contains the fat soluble version of alpha GPC (choline)
wait so i can take actual physical pain meds to feel better?
It you have read the article, only for peopl with high level of forgiveness.
fuck
This appears to be a tiny undergrad study on something neat. I think y'all are reading too much into this. Also, there appears to be no link between acetaminophen and autism but that has absolutely nothing to do with this study.
