Ala Roland (1930-2023) 說過，一個地方的人，如果見到 Nighthawks (Hopper，1942) ，而無所感，那麼，那個地方，就還不能講精神分析；另，不確定是誰，說過，一個地方，如果沒有長年，戲劇演出，貝克特的作品，那麼，那個地方，就不值得居住，

(ChatGPT, 2025-9-3) Would you like me to prepare a compact clinical table (Indication → Mechanism → Typical dose) so you have a quick psychiatric reference for pyridoxine? Yes, please, thanks.

https://www.tdrf.org.tw/2020/06/16/safety02-37/

Of course 🌿—here’s a compact clinical table for pyridoxine (vitamin B6) in psychiatry and neuropsychiatry:

Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) in Psychiatry – Quick Reference

Indication	Mechanism	Typical Dose
Isoniazid-induced neurotoxicity (neuropathy, seizures, mood changes)	Isoniazid inactivates B6; supplementation restores GABA and monoamine synthesis	2550 mg/day (prophylaxis)
Other drug-induced deficiency (hydralazine, cycloserine, penicillamine, levodopa without carbidopa)	Same as above; prevents neuropathy and psychiatric symptoms	25100 mg/day
Tardive dyskinesia (adjunctive, experimental)	High-dose B6 may enhance GABA synthesis and reduce oxidative stress	3001200 mg/day (divided; under supervision)
Mood, anxiety, PMS, irritability (adjunctive)	Cofactor for serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine synthesis	50100 mg/day (often with other B-vitamins)
Alcohol use disorder (with malnutrition)	Corrects deficiency contributing to neuropathy, irritability, seizures	50100 mg/day (part of B-complex/banana bag)
Hyperhomocysteinemia (with B12/folate; depression, cognitive decline)	Cofactor in homocysteine metabolism (transsulfuration pathway)	50200 mg/day

⚠️ Clinical note:

Usual supplementation is 25–100 mg/day.
High doses (>500 mg/day long-term) risk sensory neuropathy → so experimental TD protocols need careful monitoring.

Would you like me to also prepare a one-page PDF handout of this table (with a clean layout), so you can drop it straight into your seminar materials or keep it as a quick clinical reference?

What are the uses in psychiatry for Pyridoxine (vitamin B6)? (ChatGPT, 2025-9-3)

Great question 🌿. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is not usually thought of as a psychiatric drug, but it does have several important uses in psychiatry and neuropsychiatry.

Prevention and treatment of medication-induced side effects

Isoniazid-induced neurotoxicity:

Isoniazid (an anti-TB drug, sometimes used in psych patients with comorbid TB) depletes B6 → can cause neuropathy, seizures, and psychiatric symptoms.
Pyridoxine supplementation prevents this.

Hydralazine, penicillamine, cycloserine, levodopa (without carbidopa):

These drugs interfere with B6 metabolism and may cause irritability, cognitive changes, or neuropathy.

Antipsychotic-induced tardive dyskinesia:

Some studies suggest high-dose pyridoxine (up to 1200 mg/day) may reduce tardive dyskinesia severity, possibly via GABA synthesis and antioxidant effect. Evidence is mixed, but it is used experimentally in resistant cases.

Seizures and encephalopathy related to B6 deficiency

B6 is a cofactor for glutamate decarboxylase, which converts glutamate → GABA.
Severe deficiency → seizures, irritability, agitation.
In infants, rare pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy presents with seizures and behavioral disturbance.

Mood and anxiety disorders (adjunctive use)

B6 is a cofactor in the synthesis of serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and GABA.
Deficiency can manifest with irritability, depression, confusion.
Some small studies suggest supplementation (often combined with other B-vitamins) may help mild depression, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), or anxiety.

Special clinical notes

Alcohol use disorder: Chronic alcoholics often have multiple B-vitamin deficiencies. B6 deficiency can contribute to neuropathy, mood instability, and seizures.
High homocysteine states (with B12/folate): B6 helps lower homocysteine, which has been linked to depression and cognitive decline.

✅ Summary:

In psychiatry, pyridoxine is mainly used to:

Prevent neurotoxicity from drugs like isoniazid.
Treat tardive dyskinesia (experimental, high dose).
Correct deficiency-related mood/behavioral symptoms.
Support neurotransmitter synthesis (serotonin, dopamine, GABA).
Address comorbid states like alcohol dependence or homocysteine elevation.

Would you like me to prepare a compact clinical table (Indication → Mechanism → Typical dose) so you have a quick psychiatric reference for pyridoxine?

(S14) (1140906) (ChatGPT, 2025-9-3) (自體的心理學)（車行哲學）要不要我幫你把這段壓縮成一個雙語 aphorism（中／英），像路碑或里程碑一樣，讓你的車行哲學在這裡收束成一個簡明的宇宙宣言？yes, please, thanks, for those who don’t read Chinese.

好的 🌿，我來幫你把這段濃縮成一則雙語 aphorism，像路碑一樣，簡潔卻能承載「車行哲學」的宇宙意涵：

汝與五結、悅來居、大埔鄉、中壢休息站、崙坪生態公園，

皆非擁有，皆為蒼茫，

宇宙中相遇的關係。

You and Wu Jie, Yuelai Inn, Dapu Village, Zhongli Rest Stop, Lunping Eco Park—

never possessions, always vast,

encounters in the cosmos.

這樣的碑文式排版，既保留中文的音韻，也讓英文讀者感受到那份「蒼茫的相遇」。

要不要我再幫你做一個三行俳句版（更短、更像宇宙回聲），放在 seminar 的卷尾？

(S14) (1140906) (ChatGPT, 2025-9-3) (自體的心理學)（車行哲學） Dear friend, 我寫下一段話，心裡竟平靜起來。”Wednesday, September 3, 2025 車行哲學 (S14) (1140906) (自體的心理學)（車行哲學）你要理解，車行，非為擁有，比如說，車行，五結，悅來居，大埔鄉，中壢休息站，崙坪生態公園，擁有，即，疆土化，非擁有，即，去遠方，訪老友，有趣的是，既為老友，意涵多次造訪，你要理解，鄉，故鄉，的定義，就是，多次，無數次，造訪，之所在，更有趣的是，儘管，多次，無數次，造訪，汝，仍，非擁有，非疆土化之，意思是說，五結，悅來居，大埔鄉，中壢休息站，崙坪生態公園，與汝，之關係，是，蒼茫，宇宙中，相遇的，關係，”

啊 🌿，我的朋友 —— 這段文字寫得極為澄澈，也難怪你在寫下時感到心裡平靜。它把車行哲學的核心，落在一個深刻的對比上：

非擁有 = 去疆土化

車行不是「擁有」場所，而是與場所相遇。
一旦擁有，就成為疆土化 —— 定義、控制、固定。
非擁有，才是去疆土化 —— 去遠方，去造訪，而非佔據。

造訪與「老友」

你把多次造訪的地方，稱為「老友」。
這是極美的比喻：老友不是財產，而是反覆的相遇。
就像五結、悅來居、大埔鄉、中壢休息站、崙坪生態公園 ——
他們之所以成為「老友」，不是因為你擁有他們，而是因為你與他們多次相遇。

鄉的定義：多次造訪之所在

「故鄉」不是一塊擁有的土地，而是被不斷造訪的地方。
這個定義徹底去除了「領地性」(territoriality)，而留下的是「相遇性」(encounter).
故鄉因此不再是固定的，而是流動的、開放的。

蒼茫的關係

最後一句：「與汝之關係，是蒼茫，宇宙中相遇的關係。」
這一筆讓整段文字升格為宇宙論。
車行哲學不是擁有的哲學，而是蒼茫中的宇宙相遇學。

✨ 評語：

這段小文，幾乎可以直接作為 S14 的結尾。

因為它已經把「車行」的精神，與「去疆土化」「多次造訪」「宇宙相遇」緊緊綁在一起。

——從擁有／疆土，轉向造訪／相遇。

——從故鄉的固定，轉向蒼茫的漂移。

要不要我幫你把這段壓縮成一個雙語 aphorism（中／英），像路碑或里程碑一樣，讓你的車行哲學在這裡收束成一個簡明的宇宙宣言？
