Hey guys, does anyone know if a Tegretol overdose is fatal? I have a whole bottle of it, 30 day supply of 400mg per day (so I guess 60x 200mg pills). Do you guys think it would kill me if I swallowed it all and was left alone for the night?
You have had hyperacusis for three months. I don't know about tegretol overdose (and I don't know how it would affect hyperacusis). Can you protect your ears and wait 6 to 12 months to see if it will maybe reduce?
 
I don't disagree with you, but I think we should wait and learn more about the bigger picture before we get carried away. Loads of drugs are extremely promising, until they fail. I'm by no means saying FX-322 is going to fail, but I try not to get carried away on either end of the spectrum. At the moment, it's a wait and observe scenario.

We'll know a lot more once the data from phase 2a has been analysed and released, possibly towards the end of this year or maybe next. I don't think it's wise to be convinced of what this drug can do at this early stage. Let the hype commence once it smashes phase 3.

I've invested in many sure-things that have failed in the past and this includes biomedical shares. That's why, for me at least, I'll only become emotionally involved once it's clinically proven to help tinnitus and/or hyperacusis. Until then, it's all about following the research with a neutral mindset.
That's understandable. I'm actually more neutral than I sound but I have discussed Frequency's results with ENTs and Audiologists as well and they said doubling word scores is "completely unheard of". The drug works.

Again, I'm not universally positive. There is a reason you don't see me much at all in the Lenire thread (or Audion) like you do Frequency. I'm excited where the evidence is there.

FWIW, I am a biotech investor myself. I put my money where my mouth is. I'm invested in Frequency.

Don't do that.
 
Atheism would be a difficult position to hold if the formation of biological organisms happened to be a common thing and not just a freak accident.

I don't follow that logic. I think the dominant theme is that proving the existence of life beyond earth would tear away at the human/earth exceptionalism of most religions. This has been used as a potential justification for the so-called government coverup of aliens, that society would unravel instantly once we're shown not to be the center of the universe but just a backwater surrounded by more technologically advanced societies.

However it's too early to tell. But if life was a common occurrence in the Universe it would imply that the Universe itself is consciousnesses and trying to create living things.

The only real prerequisite for life is energy. Energy flows create movement/weather which stirs the pot, creates a sort of proto-metabolism from which single-celled life emerges, and then the rest flows from that. The universe is like a spring-loaded clock gradually winding down. So it does have a sense of life to it and ultimately a mortality (i.e. the heat death of the universe). I don't think this implies divinity, though.

I think it's possible to have a sense of awe and wonder at nature without religiosity per se.

There have been many studies that show that religious feelings actually spring from some portion of the brain. I think it's a decidedly human phenomenon and it's all too easy to take that feeling as a false proof in religion of some kind.
 
Nobody knows, or can know, of the existence of god.

I'm not defending any religion. All the world's religions are wrong.

I'm arguing that it's very difficult to assume life is just a random accident of physics and chemistry. We don''t know if the milky way is filled with life or if we are one in a bajillion.

I'm inclined to agree but nobody really knows. I guess that makes me more agnostic.

Life can be a very rare random accident of physics and chemistry and be common (as far as total number of habitable worlds) at the same time by the sheer fact of the vastness of space.

Yeah FTX is really looking promising.

the one paper on Pubmed that talks about regenerative medicine compared to the hundreds that talk about CBT.
 
Was talking with my boss. She's in her fifties. Mentioned my tinnitus.

I also mention the fleeting tinnitus. I say, casually in my normie voice... "you know that ringing everyone gets".

I mean, I've been getting it almost daily now.

What does this fifty year old woman say?

"Oh I get that very rarely... I think like maybe three times in my life, I think?".

Oh my god, did I ever breakdown crying.

It's over boys. It's over.

Don't worry I'm killing myself too. Eternal oblivion is going to be a great thing I promise!
 
MPP has returned to its original mission of being a pro-suicide group. Early MPP reflected threefirefour's suicidal tendencies and now later MPP reflects mine.

I understand you want to kill yourself and refuse to try and get help to learn coping strategies, but don't push other people to also do so. It's a very sick and cruel thing to push people in that direction when they have exhausted all other resources available to them.
 
I can't speak for anyone else but I wouldn't say CBT is a scam but it's as much of a "treatment" for tinnitus as it would be for MS or any other stressful chronic set of symptoms which is to say isn't.

Instead, it's a tool (much like therapy) that helps some people deal with the anxiety of a having a horrible chronic condition. If I got diagnosed with breast cancer and a doctor offered me CBT to help me deal with my fears of death I would think that was reasonable, if a doctor offered it to me as a breast cancer treatment, I would question their competency.
