I think at this point any of the myriad of standard anti depressants would have a good enough effect to at least calm her brain somewhat and those should be available in most pharmacies behind the counter.

In the case of a bipolar disorder, no. Just giving her some antidepressiva will most likely just make her even more unstable or cause a manic episode. They should really stick to the meds she has taken before.
Or let it as is, experimenting with meds on her, when none of them has a clue, is not the best of ideas. Not to mention the meds will still need several weeks before they work as intended, before that they often have a lot of really shitty side effects...not sure if that is the best of ideas in their situation.

That they ransacked this kind of meds is not really likely imo, more like pain meds and antibiotics.

Again, Kallie saw the meds and remembers the names--she mentioned them after Shelley went depressive. She might not have noted the exact dosage, but she knows what they are.

This kind specifically? Agreed. "Grab everything we can get, we'll sort it out later," though, is entirely plausible.

Really, it's a matter of "does the dev want Shelley back on her meds?" It's entirely plausible that our cast could find a pharmacy with the right stuff on hand, and there are plenty of equally-plausible ways that could not happen. But if our cast do find a pharmacy, they should consider grabbing some pain meds and antibiotics themselves.

Yes, as i said, they should stick to what Shelley has taken and not experimenting.

True and some pain meds and antibiotics are a nice to have.

At her worst, Shelley should at least remember the name and dosage of her meds.

We're talking about the girl which barely finds one classroom, after 2 years there...and that was at her best.
But they had the name and the pill box, so i guess at least Kallie remembered it.

 

[danb35]

Shelley should at least remember

I wouldn't really trust Shelley to tell me her birthday. Yes, anyone should know what meds they're taking--but not everyone does. And Shelley seems particularly unreliable.

 

[Anteron]

Sure. But maybe it's missing for plot reasons. Or locked up (some drugs, at least, are kept in a safe). Or already looted.

The ones kept in a safe (and also likely looted) would be the narcotics, not the sort of meds she'd need. Some psych maybe, but not those.

As to remember what meds one is on, I wouldn't be able to tell you without a list - and the only psych one is for depression. Rest are for numerous health issues. As insulin requires refrigeration, I'd be fucked.

Don't worry, as long as she has access to a dick by AVN logic that's all the medicine she needs

Sure, banging is the best medicine...or something along these lines
That just leaves one little problem, my MC ain't banging her...and Kallie has kinda raised his standards quite high

 

[Walter Victor]

I don't remember all the names or doses of the medicine and supplements I take. But then, I just take them. My wife knows them, though, because she buys them when needed and puts them in a pill container for me every week.

But Shelley had to purchase and dispense her own medicine. No one did it for her. Shelley and only Shelley did that.

Shelley is an unreliable source for most things, but she knew her daily routines, if little else. And she was responsible enough to keep her medicine up to date and take it. She'll remember what it was.

Don't act like Shelley was some kind of vegetable that people had to spoon feed, carry to classes and hold her paint brush for her.

Shelley is depressed. Depression doesn't cause amnesia.

If she tells the MC and name and dosage of her medicine, he should believe her.

 

[danb35]

Shelley had to purchase and dispense her own medicine.

"I need a refill on my medication." That's all she has to tell the pharmacy. What she needs to know to dispense it is "take one pill, twice a day." The prescription would say something like "fluoxetine 20 mg po bid x90d," but she doesn't need to know any of that.

She doesn't need to know the name of the medication. She could, but she certainly doesn't have to. She doesn't need to know the dosage--again, she could, but she doesn't have to. Her doctor sent the prescription to the pharmacy; she (in all likelihood) never saw it. Of course the pill bottles had a label which had all this information; that's what Kallie saw and remembered--but Shelley may not have paid any attention to it.

Shelley is depressed.

Shelley is bipolar. Not the same thing, not the same treatment.

Depression doesn't cause amnesia.

It often does (or, more accurately, "memory deficits are a common symptom of depression"), but that isn't why I don't trust her to know this--that's because she's a ditz. As has already been pointed out, she's been on this campus for two years, and doesn't know where anything is, even the things everyone would regularly be going to.

If she tells the MC and name and dosage of her medicine, he should believe her.

There I agree. But if Kallie tells MC something different, I'd believe her over Shelley (especially since Kallie knows what those meds are for). And what I think is much more likely is that Shelley says, "I dunno. They were, blue, I think?" At best, she can say, "no, that one doesn't sound right."

Shelley not only got and took her medicine when needed, she managed to feed and clothe herself and get to classes by herself.

You believe whatever you want, doctor. I trust her enough to know what the hell medicine she's been taking.

I have mine on automatic refills. I know what to take based on where it is in the breadbox I keep most of them in. On the other hand, I'm nearly 52 and Shelley is maybe 21...

Agree with 99% of what you said, but depression can actually lead to memory loss over long periods of time.

To be fair, i also forgot some names of meds i needed to take before, mostly long and hard to remember names (obviously i knew when and how much i needed to take)...and i did buy them myself, but that just means i go the the doctor and hand over the perception at the pharmacy, that didn't made me remember the names for long.

get to classes by herself.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't she, except for art class, need to follow other students because she had no clue where her classes are.

Beside that i agree, i asume she knows the meds she needs to take and it's only 2, when Kallie would give a contradictive statement i'd rather believe her thought.

Short term as well, i think the english term is brain fog.

I think this check needs more granularity, in case the MC never fooled around with Laura in the earlier chapters:

    if ch9_laura_sex == "yes":
        "Which probably wasn't going to be received well since she and I were also fucking."
    else:
        "Which probably wasn't going to be received well since she and I had been fooling around before. Though maybe those days were over before they grew into something."

Any of ch3_laura_kiss, ch3_laura_sex, ch4_laura_sex, ch5_laura_sex, or ch6_laura_sex could work. If the friend/trust score with Laura is low, then the MC could even consider that she might react badly because he's noticing she's keeping a certain distance.

Edit:
This 'else'-clause doesn't work either if the MC didn't have anything going on with Laura:

    if ch10_lauramood >= 1:
        scene c011_s002_023 with Dissolve(0.25)
        "{color=#66ff33}I know I was mad at him yesterday, but after that scare last night, it all feels so stupid and childish. Unnecessary. His first inclination when I stepped into the room was to shield me from the Witch. Makes it hard to stay angry when I know, deep down, his instinct is to protect any of us, no matter the cost to himself.{/color}"
        if ch10_tell_laura == "yes" and l_sex == 0:
            "{color=#66ff33}It makes thinking he's taking advantage of Kallie feel like an overreaction. Especially when I haven't even had the chance to talk with her about it. I should've last night, but we were all so strung out that I just didn't have it in me to dredge it up.{/color}"
        elif ch10_tell_laura == "yes" and ch9_laura_sex == "yes" or ch10_tell_laura == "yes" and ch10_laura_sex == "yes":
            "{color=#66ff33}Sure, learning that he's been sleeping with both Kallie and I struck a painful nerve. But, maybe it's not so cut and dried. He doesn't know what's going on between us, because I can't give him an answer I don't have.{/color}"
            "{color=#66ff33}And if he's trying to be there for her when she needs someone to be strong, it makes sense that one thing might lead to another. I really need to talk with her about it. I should've last night, but we were all so strung out that I just didn't have it in me to dredge it up.{/color}"
        else:
            "{color=#66ff33}I get wanting to know what's going on between us, but I can't give him an answer because I don't even know. And I don't want to be forced to put a label on this. Not yet. Not without knowing if we're even going to survive.{/color}"

This seems based on the conversation the MC had with Laura about being intimate with Kallie. They keep calling it an argument or disagreement, but I just saw Laura being rightfully concerned about Kallie before saying she trusts the MC not to hurt or use her.
