Mmm, seafood and clothing!

Discuss.

Edit: That should read 'club' instead of 'clubs'. I miss being able to change the title.

    Is it really seafood if it's a mamal? I mean, they live on the land as well.

    If it can be drowned, it is technically seafood.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    I'll level with you, I just really like using scales starting from 1 to words. Thesaurus.

    On a scale of 1 to antonym, that's pretty homonym.

    Is it an unbeatable technique for making millions with no money down off of real estate, or is it an unbeatable technique for living on a four-hour workweek, or is it an unbeatable technique for winning friends and making people, or is it an unbeatable technique for quadrupling your sex life?

    Basically, lots of psych meds are metabolized by the P450 cytochromes, a family of enzymes produced by the liver that break down toxins and medicines. (In some rare cases, a medicine might not be effective until it's been metabolized by the liver; the inactive form you swallow is usually called a "prodrug" and the active chemical that your body turns it into is called an "active metabolite." This is God's way of confusing pharmacology students.)

    Some herbs affect the activity of these proteins, which can cause certain psych drugs to have amplified or diminished effects, or lengthened or shortened durations of effect.

    If it's an herb used for flavoring like peppermint or chamomile you're generally okay. If it's an herb usually understood to have medicinal properties like valerian root, St. John's Wort, or gingko biloba, you typically want to keep your exposure low. A cup a day isn't going to cause you to go all Sirhan Sirhan on us.

    That's good to hear. The drugs I'm on are technically seizure medications. I do fancy tea, so I am pleased to hear that I don't need to be too careful about a cup of Christmas peppermint.

    When it's too cold at night, at least I can wrap up in blankets. But for the summer months? Makes me want to fall asleep with my head in the freezer.

    Or, in the immortal words of Homer Simpson, "Marge, can you set the oven to 'cold'?"

    On the one hand, anything used to control seizures you need to be extra special careful with, because anti-seizure medications can cause nasty withdrawals if the drug levels in your blood plasma fluctuate too much.

    On the other hand, if you're taking a seizure medication for a psych condition, my Magic 8-Ball says that "All Signs Point to Valproate" which is actually not one of the drugs metabolized primarily by the P450 cytochromes. That's not to say it's okay to go hogwild on medicinal herbs, but it's just another reason not to worry too much about one or two cups of tea every once in a while. (edit: If my Magic 8-ball is right. I don't expect you to confirm or deny, what drugs you take is entirely your business.)

    Moderation in all things.

    My pills run out tomorrow, and I have to wait for an appointment to get another prescription. I don't even know if they're working. It's really confusing.

    In general, you don't want to suddenly discontinue anti-seizure medication.

    It may be that the particular medication you're on is an exception. But it is probably worth your time to at least call your doctor's office and ask a nurse if it is necessary for you to taper off if you're going to run out soon. They should be able to give you a yes or no answer over the phone.
