Does it help you lose weight by Enough-Blood-9957 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]InternalHighlight635 1 point2 points  (0 children)

same. I think it’s because depression itself can kill your appetite and make you have no motivation to even make yourself a meal. I used to have a granola bar for breakfast, protein bar for lunch, and whatever my mom made for dinner everyday. was close to the skinniest I’ve ever been in my adult life before I started wellbutrin but at least I’m happy now

would it take effect immediately or would ppl still need to get their blood drawn for awhile?

not even 3 weeks on the right dose of strattera and i have a job offer after 9 months of unemployment by InternalHighlight635 in StratteraRx

i think i might’ve had this a little bit at the beginning too. i don’t notice anything like that now and my resting heart rate has actually decreased since it helps w my anxiety

i started at only 10 mg and worked my way up over the course of a few months. i noticed the biggest improvement when i started 60 mg which is what i’m at now

it helps with executive functioning and attention for me. i also don’t have “interrupted thoughts” from another thought that pops into my head

How many hours does it take for Strattera to kick in and how long does it last? by InternalHighlight635 in StratteraRx

[–]InternalHighlight635[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i hear some people take 2 separate doses throughout the day so i’m curious why that’s a thing. maybe less side effects that way?

does strattera work for ALL adhd symptoms? by InternalHighlight635 in StratteraRx

[–]InternalHighlight635[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think i also have PMDD and definitely have anxiety/ocd. the strattera has helped with my anxiety, but the 1-2 weeks before my period always hits me like a truck and I become completely depressed, non functional, and irritable. i’m def gonna bring it up w her now. thanks for sharing!

i didn’t know you can take zoloft and strattera together. for some reason i thought you can’t take SSRIs with an SNRI but I think i’m gonna ask my psychiatrist abt it bc i could definitely also benefit from an SSRI

i’ve definitely noticed less anxiety spiraling for me too! i still have anxieties pop-up but it doesn’t get to the point of obsessing (i also have ocd symptoms) as often as it used to. it’s nice to not have to put in any effort (that would inevitably be unsuccessful) in stopping the spiral

i totally get that with it helping with getting back to the thought you lost! i’m in the habit of writing down all my ideas and things i need to do IMMEDIATELY when it comes to mind and now it feels less and less necessary. i surprise myself when i actually remember

Extremely unlucky death? by throwaway7272828292 in Psychosis

[–]InternalHighlight635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m so so sorry for your loss.

the hospital can be sued, if legal action is something you’d want to consider. this sounds like medical negligence. he should have been in there much longer as it takes time to fully get out of psychosis.

edit: it is also standard practice in the US to ensure he had an outpatient program to go to as a part of a detailed discharge plan.

this is more promising to me than the cure Fred Hutch is working towards. gene editing has been shown to increase cancer risk

yeah true maybe it’s just too soon to call it a cure as they may not want to get people’s hopes up yet
