I've been successfully managing a bipolar disorder for over ten years - and unsuccessfully for years prior to that. In my _personal_ experience, manic phases last 2 weeks to 2 months, followed by 4-10 months of catatonia. It is approxi

Why do you say modafinil is not for long-term use? I take it 7 times a week, have done so for years and my doctor tells me it's likely that I will be taking it as long as I need it (in my case: a lifetime, as it's treating a chron

I use 1Password as my 2FA app for Google services. I only set it up relatively recently so maybe support for non-SMS is new. Or region-based?
