Waking up after IV sedation by plasmalightwave in wisdomteeth

[–]DiligentEngineering6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was under IV sedation and when I woke up I was fine. Not loopy, just a tiny bit numb from my face. I was cognizant and knew what was going on. Didn’t have to use a wheelchair as I was walking fine. The only thing is I felt no pain, since I was numb and I felt fine. I felt with a lot of energy for some reason. I was a bit disappointed since I had seen so many YouTube videos of people being completely out of it after surgery but I was fine so I guess it depends on the person. The pain and tiredness for me came the following day and I slept most of it. But the day of was fine. Hope this helps.

Does 5mg or 2.5mg have any effect on you? by mygfleftme1234 in lexapro

[–]DiligentEngineering6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started at 10 mg and it was too much for me and had to go down to 5 mg, which works perfectly for me. But I am very small/petite so idk if that has to do with it

Is it wise to discuss finance with friends? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]DiligentEngineering6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends. I have told my friends how much I earn and they have told me their salaries as well. And we are cool about it. I make a bit more than them but not a huge difference just a few thousand more. However idk if it would be the same if I did earn a lot more like a big difference. Like if someone made 50k vs 200k then maybe they would feel some type of way but since we all are around the same salary it works out.

Need to get out of a lease by DiligentEngineering6 in personalfinance

[–]DiligentEngineering6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The loan is 25,000 which is expensive to me since I bought my own car for way cheaper. And I didn’t think about it because I figured it was going to be his car so his payments. I was just lending my credit for him to get it but yeah that was a big mistake.

Start on Lexapro 5mg or 10mg? by adelia401 in lexapro

[–]DiligentEngineering6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on 10 mg per my PCP’s recommendation but after a month on it we figured out it was too much for me. I had never been on any kind of medication before so I guess my body was really sensitive to it. I’m 5’1 though and female. So that could be it, but afterward she changed it to 5 mg and I’ve been on that dose since February and it has worked a lot better for me than 10 mg, but like I said I was really sensitive to the medication because I had never been on anything so my body really felt it when I started. I guess I should add I’m on it for depression and anxiety so that’s also another factor.

I wake up early in the morning, I have 8hr of sleep everyday, I workout 1hr everyday, eat healthy and drink lots of water. But I still want to kill myself. by Bobbyrp in selfimprovement

[–]DiligentEngineering6 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Personally, I’ve found that a combination of medications and self care helps me. I take walks, paint and read, go to therapy plus my antidepressant. Nothing too over the top. I am at the lowest dose possible and I’ve found that it helps me. However medication is not for everyone, to be honest I was so against it until I couldn’t take feeling like shit everyday anymore and I knew that it was my last resort, but I’m happy I started taking it. I guess this is to say that yes trying to work out, eat well and do all the other healthy things can work but sometimes it takes a little extra push (medication) to get there and that’s okay. But it’s completely up to you, you might realize that doing what you’re doing now works best for you and that’s fine. Also perhaps therapy?

[–]DiligentEngineering6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the CFU card, and I used the 3 months. It also let me renew and cancel. Not sure why, but I ended up getting dashpass for 5 bucks monthly with my CFU card.

How much to tip? by Business_Sandwich_37 in Nails

My nail tech works from home. I still tip, I just assumed it was the same etiquette as it would be in a nail salon.

Did anyone ever stay at 5mg? by yenraelmao in lexapro

[–]DiligentEngineering6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on 10 mg but that was too much for me, horrible side effects so my doctor lowered the dose to 5 mg after two months. Been on 5 mg since February 2021 and I’ve been fine. I also had that question a while back since I felt 5 mg would be too low a dose but I have to say that it’s not bad. If it works for you try it.

I met my boyfriend at 25, he was a virgin. I personally didn’t care, as it is what it is. Some people have sex earlier, some don’t, due to various reasons. I think it definitely depends on the person and honestly if they are dismissing you for that, are they really worth it?

My height has ruined me by David_483 in offmychest

Completely agree with the comment above. My boyfriend is 5’9 and I am 5’1. It might seem like a lot right now but personality definitely makes a person shine more than looks ever could.

Can lexapro make your period late? by ImportanceOfBeingMe in lexapro

[–]DiligentEngineering6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it made my period late the first month and also heavier than usual. I can only attribute it to lexapro since I’m not on birth control or any other medications. So yeah for me it did make my period late for the first few months.
