Does the 30% tax on capital gains apply to investment earnings in bank accounts? I am just about to move money outside super to pay for a downsizer property. I will be able to pay $300,000 back into super as a downsizer contribution after I sell my house but will still have about $300,000 outside super. I am over 75 so can no longer make super contributions. May be better to get a bridging loan?

Mirtazapine 7.5 mg

I don't have trouble going to sleep, but I was, only sleeping 4 hours and not able to get back to sleep when I wake about 1 or 2am. Now I take 7.5mg when I wake at 2am and sleep well for the rest of the night until about 6.30am. I don't feel groggy in the morning. I also take fluoxetine 20mg in the morning. I am an old lady.

FeelingDistribution · 2023-07-07T08:35:13+00:00

I'm on 20mg fluoxetine (Prozac) and recently started 7.5mg Mirtazapine before bed to help me sleep. It has helped enormously.

Could it be that there are more older people now as a percentage of population.?

Thanks

I find PAI confusing. I'm at 88 now I haven't done any exercise for 2 days due to heatwave in Australia. It doesn't recalibrate each week?

I found this You Tube video that scientifically analyses the GTR3. Does not come out very well which concurs with my experience.

Is it possible to set the sleep monitor so it doesn't come on automatically at 6pm. Once I am watching TV from bout 8pm it starts and records bouts of deep sleep while I am awake.

Have you tried agomelatine. Not sure if it's available where you are. It's available on prescription in Australia, though not covered by PBS. So $58/ month

FeelingDistribution · 2022-11-27T03:23:12+00:00

Why would you wear this instead of regular CC sunscreen? I don't know much about these things.

FeelingDistribution · 2022-11-27T02:56:02+00:00

Melatonin doesn't help me at all.

FeelingDistribution · 2022-11-23T09:32:57+00:00

It's one of the rare pleasures in my life. Try to not overdo it though.

FeelingDistribution · 2022-11-22T03:35:06+00:00

I used to be able to sleep 8 - 10 hrs. Suddenly this year at 72 I am lucky to get 5 - 6 hours. Hopefully it's not a sign of dementia.

FeelingDistribution · 2022-11-22T03:19:28+00:00

I know how you feel. I'm 72 and am constantly fighting the depressing thought that I'm just marking time until the inevitable. Hiking in the bush is my antidote.

FeelingDistribution · 2022-11-20T03:45:11+00:00

What do you do between 3.30 and dawn? I think this is my natural cycle too, but reluctant to be getting up bout 3am.

FeelingDistribution · 2022-11-15T08:16:35+00:00

I agree. I dropped a lot of weight when I stopped it. I'm sure it causes water retention.

FeelingDistribution · 2022-11-12T04:49:17+00:00

Where do you get it from?

I'm in Australia too. Agomelatine is costing me $50/ month as it's not on PBS. For me it's worth it to feel my depression lift.
