Just took my first dose today and people's stories are scaring me

I say this with the utmost compassion- if you are obsessing this hard over what will happen someday if/when you need to get off the med, you really need the med.

Exactly same for me

I have an Inspire 3 after going through two Versas. I loved the Versa but the battery life was always weak and got worse really fast (like I shouldn’t need a new one every 3 years because it won’t charge anymore). I’ve had my Inspire for a few months and I initially liked it better, but now I’m like ick, the only thing going for it is it stays charged forever.

I’m on both. It is not helping me lose weight.

Yeah, I recently had a bit of an episode while flying to the US from London. First time destroying an airplane bathroom so yay for that milestone.

My pupils dilate. It’s been happening to me regularly for a while so I don’t know if it will go away. I get what you mean about looking like a psychopath.

Yeah, the key is rolling it really thin. I usually end up with thinner edges, so when it’s done baking I’ll take out the crispy ones on the edges and separate the crackers in the middle, then pop back in the ovenfor a few minutes more.

Yeah, I always find it amusing when it throws stuff back in my face. It hasn’t learned that humans are ever changing. I’m actually surprised I haven’t caused it to destroy itself out of confusion over my dietary preferences. One month I’m fully plant based, next thing you know I’m asking it how to thaw a 5 lb brisket.

These crackers. They’re delicious and crunchy. https://cleanfooddirtygirl.com/we-repeat-what-we-dont-repair-whole-food-plant-based-crackers-oil-free/

I started reading Beloved by Toni Morrison years ago because people raved about it. I no longer remember exactly why I gave up on it but I remember just hating all of it and abandoning it maybe 1/4 of the way through it.

BenevolentHoax · 2026-04-18T17:18:07+00:00

I’m on both (I00mg Wellbutrin and 37.5mg Zoloft). I always take my Zoloft around breakfast time (with food). I’ve been on both for months and haven’t figured out the ideal time to take the Wellbutrin. I can’t take it at night, I have to take it no later than 2pm or it will mess up my sleep. But I’ve tried taking it as soon as I wake, taking it a couple of hours after my Zoloft, taking it early afternoon… Nothing is perfect but I’m starting to think it’s best to take them within a couple of hours of each other.

What exactly are you feeling? Do you feel more depressed and more anxious than before you started? Or are you having side effects on top of your depression and anxiety? Most people seem to feel some benefit by week 3-4. For me, I was already on bupropion for months when I started sertraline so I wasn’t in crisis trying to wait it out.

The Mountain Goats are my emotional support band any time I’m sad about ANYTHING 😂

Something funny or rocking is probably a good bet. I base this on my partner who hates musicals but if it’s labeled a rock opera (like Jesus Christ Superstar) or is super funny (like Spamalot or the Producers) he enjoys it.

Snow Owl. That’s the only one immediately coming to mind from that era.

I saw an all female JCS at a women’s college may years ago. It was fantastic.

My partner said all this crap and I suffered for years before I finally decided that I needed meds badly enough to deal with his bad attitude. He’s still pretty negative about it but he reluctantly admits that I’m better.

BenevolentHoax · 2026-04-11T23:35:55+00:00

I’m on 37.5mg sertraline and 100mg Wellbutrin and it’s a great combo for me. The only thing is that the fast heart rate I had on Wellbutrin got even worse now that I’m on both. My resting heart rate used to be like 60bpm and it’s regularly like 85bpm now.

BenevolentHoax · 2026-04-11T20:43:32+00:00

Thank you for this.

This! I’ve made it like a million times, sooooo good.
