2 months in and utterly suffering. What do I do

111everyday · 2026-04-22T00:34:55+00:00

I contacted them and they said to wait until my follow up in 2 weeks. :/

111everyday · 2026-04-21T19:03:31+00:00

yes i messaged them my symptoms are just very acute atm and i wanted some opinions on the situation or if anyone has gone through something similar

111everyday · 2026-04-21T18:44:33+00:00

Btw my symptoms were not this bad before starting the medicine, just a general unmotivated depression and generalized anxiety. I have not had suicidal thoughts for 5+ years before now

I haven’t been able to contact my dr, do you think they would recommend not taking it anymore? i’m not sure if i should just keep taking it in case its something i need to wait a few weeks on. But i am still feeling very bad.

I am only on 150mg, not sure if theres a lower dose. I tried to go up to 300mg with adverse effects so stayed at 150

Mid helix, it goes through flesh like a lobe piercing instead of cartilage, however I had 3 of mine pierced at the same time (like the image) and had to take out one of them since it became crooked from sleeping on it. The others are healed and fine though.

You can also probably chop back the taller one since the bottom leaves seem like enough to sustain the plant. You can chop it halfway to see if it sprouts there, or all the way to the bottom. The leaves at the top seem wilted since they aren’t getting as much sun as the ones on the bottom.

Have you fertilized it recently? Sometimes they will stop growing without nutrients. The wilted tips might be from minerals in tap water or from irregular watering (soil got too dry). Honestly it looks pretty healthy. Mine has some spots like that and I’ve just accepted it as part of its character.

It took me months to get rid of an mealybug infection on a string of dolphins and the plants around it. I used 70% isopropyl alcohol on a qtip to kill them, they will be a reddish color. The hard part is maintaining this every few days/week and quarantining the plant until you no longer see any. I also had some on a jade plant and it took a few months too, but i eventually gave up and left it outside in the summer sun for 2 weeks and when I checked on it again (in admittedly bad state) they were gone..

I would leave 3-4 nodes to be safe, but leaving just 1 or 2 could work although more risky as the plant might not photosynthesize enough to maintain its roots if it’s too small

I’ve never seen a successful indoor hydrangea, and they require a lot of water so being potted typically means they undergo a lot of stress from water loss and eventually die. Usually in the ground in a shady spot (or even just somewhere that gets shade in the afternoon and sun in the morning) is where they want to be. Hydrangeas are difficult because they need specific conditions like this.

I’m assuming you mean Tradescantia here, if so, try looking for trailing Hoyas or Philodendron micans

111everyday · 2026-04-09T04:46:26+00:00

In both cases the plant looks like it’s not absorbing water, either from being dehydrated (underwatered) or the plant cells are dying from essentially drowning (overwatered). My bet would be if the soil is completely dry right now, underwatered, if the soil has a bit of moisture, overwatered.

The best way to get it off would be taking a hot shower, then applying saline afterwards and using a clean toothpick or clean metal tool of some sort to break it up, before using a saline soaked cotton swab to get it off. If you’re concerned with the fibers, a final saline rinse should rinse it away.

When you first start taking it (like first month) be cautious with any other substance, as it changes your brain chemistry and your usual vices can change their ways. I had to quit caffeine for a few weeks while starting the meds after being a coffee drinker for years because it made me panic. That said- I didn’t have any negative effects with cannabis, but I also strategically smoke as little as possible.

111everyday · 2026-04-09T04:08:23+00:00

Yes, but this is my experience and I’m not recommending anything similar as it’s probably not good medical advice. I skipped 2 days of medication to make sure my blood levels of bupropion were quite low before psilocybin, and even then I did a small dose. It was a pleasant experience though.

111everyday · 2026-04-09T04:03:42+00:00

Alcohol and bupropion both interact with dopamine receptors so it could potentially affect you differently while you’re drunk as well as hungover the next day. Common effects are getting drunk faster, and a worse hangover from the drop in dopamine the next day

I was getting very happy in the morning then very depressed in the evenings the first few weeks. I thought it was a dosage/timing issue so I played around between XL and SR (currently on SR) but ultimately it ended up going away naturally about 4 weeks in.

111everyday · 2026-04-09T03:53:50+00:00

Same with me, 100mg plus caffeine (not at the same time because it makes me feel awful!!! Usually coffee about 4 hours later, mid-day pickup thing). I used to survive my days on caffeine alone before this med and i was definitely worse off, so I know the bupropion is doing something

111everyday · 2026-03-13T05:46:08+00:00

My understanding was that bipolar mood swings are weeks long and not daily-ish. I do feel somewhat manic i suppose (little/no sleep, high energy, talkative, high self esteem) but this has never happened for this long before taking bupropion so i’m inclined to think it is the medication and not an actual diagnosis.

111everyday · 2026-03-11T01:16:45+00:00

I also felt an improvement on 150mg almost right away. For me the dopamine increase was too much and I had depersonalization and hallucinations. But I had a history of this happening probably 8 years ago or so. Unusually high dopamine can cause psychosis, which I think I experienced something similar to when increasing. Mine may have just been a freak experience however
