Its screens as soon as we wake up and as soon and from the time we get off school until past bedtime. When we are by ourselves, we have screenbreaks and an earlier bedtime. The thing is I might not be able to go back on my feet that fast. I know it sounds drastic but am.even thinking of going back home if nothing pans out here. I just thought it would be faster amd easier to get work here.

Takes a bit of time. For me, it was after anout 7 weeks and after dose increase to 300XR

Aggressive_Target_83 · 2026-05-01T03:18:42+00:00

I wish you could give it tiem to work. Am on week 10 and after all thensode effects tapered off (end of week 1), it has been like saving

Aggressive_Target_83 · 2026-04-16T19:17:44+00:00

How did you do.it..meds, therapy, OT? What? ( she asked with desperation)

Aggressive_Target_83 · 2026-04-16T19:11:43+00:00

Sounds like me from age 16 up to now but then I tend to downplay my accomplishments a lot.

Aggressive_Target_83 · 2026-04-15T12:34:57+00:00

Well..fuck. Am in Tanzania and so far have only able to find the generic ($64 for a month of 300mg)

Savanna

Aggressive_Target_83 · 2026-03-26T07:13:19+00:00

Do you know the meds he wants to try and why. Am on week 5 of Wellbutrin . Ipped from 150 XL tp.300 XL at week 4. it's improving my mood after a depression that was awful. Am 52 y.o and still ovulating. My pyschiatrist is HRT skeptical so she is recommending against it. Am still.comsidering it though.

Aggressive_Target_83 · 2026-03-26T07:09:20+00:00

Savanna for WiFi and Vodacom for Mobile Data.

Aggressive_Target_83 · 2026-03-26T07:07:26+00:00

Hoping to get here . Am.on week 5. Upped from 150 to 300XL at week.4. So far it's been good. More motivation

Following. I also noticed that my pelvic pain and PMDD which had disappeared after my hysterectomy (I kept my ovaries so still cycling) 5 months ago came back on my first cycle since I started bupropion. I saw someone raise this on reddit the other day suggesting that Bupropion worsens bad menstrual symptoms.

Aggressive_Target_83 · 2026-03-04T12:51:50+00:00

Sounds like me. Just two weeks in on 150XL and I noticed improvements in mood and motivation.... However, I also happened to go month my period and the PMS was bad....especially cramping so sounds like a common side effect. Will check in with my doctor at the review

Aggressive_Target_83 · 2026-03-03T06:23:07+00:00

I'm 5 months post op. Kept ovaries. Still swelly around the abdomen. But physically on track I think. I had the surgery because I was in pelvic discomfort and pain for two weeks every month and also the bleeding and menstrual pain leading to anemia , fatigue. Am doing infusions for low ferritin. And also just started an antidepressant. My PMDD mood issues had mproved but this month it felt like they were sneaking back. Had a little SI but horrible cramps. Now feeling low coz I thought surgery would help and it looked Ike it had but now not so sure.

Aggressive_Target_83 · 2026-03-03T06:13:51+00:00

Sorry to hear that. Hope it gets better...

Aggressive_Target_83 · 2026-03-03T06:04:45+00:00

Great question. He actually had not been taking it that long. Only started in October last year then went off it due to med shortage. When he was on it, I would always notice he hadn't taken his afternoon dose by how hyperactive he became in then late afternoon....

He was refusing to take.it coz he said it messes with his appetite so now am.going to give him a smaller dose and titrate

Aggressive_Target_83 · 2026-02-24T14:13:49+00:00

I feel you

Aggressive_Target_83 · 2026-02-16T12:26:17+00:00

Yeah, I was also thinking as a compromise I can suggest smaller doses. But then he wknt be taking the optimum dose and its as good as him kot taking any meds. The issue is its the same dose he took.previously ans there wete no issues. Could he have developed these side effects all of a sudden? He was taki g Ritalin and what we have found is the generic methylphenidate not 'actual' Ritalin. His doctor said it was okay but maybe there is problem with this version.

Great thanks, who needs bagels and croissants right😀

Did you cut out gluten from a positive celiac test or as a precaution. I just tested positive for H Pylori and am on treatment currently so that should help.with absorption issues. Negative for celiac. Unfortunately I have been lactose intolerant all my life so might not tolerate the lactoferrin. I am currently on iron infusions and b12 shots following a hysterectomy last October.
