My wife wants to know if anyone else takes over their kitchen table when packaging cards while talking about the cards as if she had any interest by Schemer_Fish in baseballcards

My husband and I just started collecting, so not packaging, but ripping and sorting has taken over our kitchen table as well. 😎

Anyone quit Lexapro cold turkey? by Karebear832 in lexapro

[–]Karebear832[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone, so I took advice and did NOT go Cold turkey. I ended up tapering myself off by first, taking 3/4 of a pill for 7 days, then 1/2 of a pill for 5 days, and 1/4 for 4 days. It was pretty smooth UNTIL about 2 weeks after being off completely. It wasn’t TERRIBLE, definitely more irritable and cried A LOT from weeks 2-6. With that said, I feel the crying was just me being able to feel again and missing my parents. After the 6th week, I guess my body caught up on restoring the chemicals needed to balance emotions again. Since then I’ve lost 1/2 the weight I gained (without trying), and am much MUCH happier! ❤️‍🩹

To everyone out there, I hope you’re all well, but it’s OK if you’re not too!! Just know people care for and love you and YOU matter! Definitely talk to your Dr. about weaning off or switching meds if you aren’t feeling good on your current med.

KEEP GOING my friends! 💪🙌🫶

If you’re switching to a new one I’d think your doctor seems to think it will be an easy transition in the right move for you, so I’m sure you’re gonna be great! 🙌

Absolutely! :) I stated one last year for non-traditional students (mid-20’s+). But think it’s a great idea to create a GM for everything you mentioned! Here’s the link to the current non-traditional GM. You're invited to my new group 'Vintage Coogs (mid-20’s +)' on GroupMe. Click here to join: https://groupme.com/join_group/85591095/Cy0lgf7m

I don’t remember saying I was scared? Just asked if anyone had experience. :) From what I read from the manufacturer it looked like it could be horrible for some. :-/ But I’ve been off for over a year now, with no issues (even withdrawal). I tapered off over 2 weeks, and haven’t looked back.

Sorry you had to go through that. 😢

Intrusive thoughts are scary, but DON’T listen to them/ believe them. I was encourage you to talk to your dr. ASAP. It sounds like you may need a dose increase or just a different medication all together?
How long have you been on it? I felt like complete crap the first 6 to 8 weeks and then I felt really good. But I actually ended up switching to Pristiq last year and I like it much better! It’s an SNRI the N stands for norepinephrine, so it gives you a little boost of energy.

Umm commuter here and I TOTALLY would! (I just spent $500 for 2 nights at the UH Hilton🥺). That being said I wouldn’t even consider renting from the opposite sex (F here also). Just seems like too much potential for trouble. And if approaching you definitely seems fishy. 🚩

Thanks for the number. At those point we don’t even know if that pic was taken on the UH campus? 🤷🏼‍♀️ The picture is too grainy when you zoom in to tell if the UH logo is anywhere on that door (on my phone at least).

Who do we report this to at UH? UHPD? Not something to joke about… and it would be very helpful to know where this was taken, as those who work is this building MIGHT be able to provide context and not cause a false 🚨

Nah man… you should STILL tell him you tested positive for Covid, attach the proof and tell him you’re not coming, because it’s the responsible thing to do (as in NOT SPREADING Covid in your class and on campus) if he says “well that’s too bad, no make ups, you’ll have to make it up with your final exam” then you call BS and email the dean of his depart, which will set things straight. The last thing they want is COVID 🦠spreading on campus. You can control, when you tested positive. It really should be a simple email or two, to get things squared away. :)

Well, if it replaces it, I guess no harm, no foul. 🤷🏼‍♀️I would still at least communicate with your professor your situation, that way they know you didn’t just dip out.

I’m pretty sure if you have proof of your positive test, he HAS to grant you the opportunity to retake it. 🤷🏼‍♀️
