I’m on new medication and it’s making me super irritated and paranoid. I feel myself being more frustrated at my managers than I normally would be. Advice?

Stop taking it and consult your doctor? Not all meds work for everyone

like

It sucks that it takes so long to figure out what meds in what doses work right for you. Get on the phone to your doc right away. Some meds need to be scaled back, going cold turkey could be dangerous. It took me a month to go from a high dose of Wellbutrin to zero when my doc changed my med mix (450>300>150>75>0). Your doc needs your feedback right away, not in 3 weeks when you can schedule another appointment.

Yeah talked to my doc and they basically told me to suck it up for a few weeks until I stabilize a little more. But I don’t even feel like myself

I feel your pain. Sometimes it makes a difference what time of day you take it, or whether you eat a snack before. Review your OTC meds, especially any Proton Pump Inhibitors like Nexium. I didn’t check its interaction with Lexapro, and ended up effectively doubling my blood serum level of Lexapro. Don’t rely on the pharmacy software to warn you of interactions, do some of your own digging in academic/ medical journals. Let a friend or family member know so that they help watch for changes in mood

Hi guys 👋🏻
So I joined IBM 5 months back, was on bench for this long and got project just a week back.

My PSP and People Manager have been kind of lenient, cooperative and kind to me because I was never told I will be put in PIP, I have to enter project not matching my skillset etc etc.

Is it wise to appreciate both of them via blue points for their support?

I just got a mail saying I have 200 bluepoints to send out appreciations if I feel like.

Anyone feel as if it’s hard to stay with a company when you’re the only one of color? (&young) I’ve work for 3 companies in past 5 years and have yet to make meaningful colleague relationships.

My boss won’t stop sexually harassing me. Verbally, email, texts - 400+. He even set up his office with a display of sex toys and edibles condiments to show me that he planned to give me oral sex. All started 3 weeks into the job. I moved my family cross country for this job and just bought a house. He promises me none of his requests or my responses will affect my job and is just begging now to be friends with me. Tell me what would you do if you were me.

Crazy ethics issue. Client 1 has VPO against man who later becomes Client 2. This is the 4th VPO this year, previous ones dismissed.

In the meantime, State has filed rape charges against man who becomes Client 2 and A/B charges against Client 1. Client 1 also files for divorce.

Clients reconcile (which is how they both end up clients...) and want VPO dismissed, divorce dismissed, and criminal charges dismissed.

DHS gets involved and want to remove the child from Client 1's custody. (1/2)

The hostility on my team is rough. We have a yeller. I walked by her room the other day. She was screaming across the room at a student, "you have to be kind to get kindness." Seriously, those were her words in a loud, berating, angry tone. Our admin has asked that we not report these. We are to talk to the teacher. She has yelled at me and other adults. Admin has to know she treats the kids this way too. One teacher has to work with her door closed to not hear the yelling all day.
