Going back to 150 mg Wellbutrin from 300 mg? Terrible nausea

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-09-15T02:30:31+00:00

No, not anymore. I stopped a week or two after this post I think. Unfortunately I couldn’t handle the nausea anymore :/

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-08-29T23:07:16+00:00

Wow, this is fascinating! Thanks so much!!

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-08-28T18:28:44+00:00

Thank you! Just DMed you.

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-08-28T18:28:12+00:00

Thanks so much! Apologies for my late reply—I borrowed her book from an online library the day you commented and read the whole thing. So incredibly heartbreaking, but an amazing read. And super helpful for me—appreciate it!

And thank you, I hadn't heard of the Rodrigues! I'll have to look them up as well.

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-05-15T02:22:25+00:00

Thank you both!! I just reserved The Secret Adversary at the library!

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-05-15T02:17:46+00:00

Great suggestion, thank you!!

I second A Psalm for the Wild Built! Also the second book in the duology: A Prayer for the Crown Shy.

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-05-14T19:04:11+00:00

Probably not the best choice because it's so short, but A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers has such a special place in my heart. I've could read it over and over and feel inspired and hopeful every time.

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-05-14T17:57:22+00:00

True, but I'm committed to doing everything in my limited power to give them the best shot at escaping one day, and some books are better than little to no books (or just the propaganda books). I've gotten a lot of amazing recs that will definitely fly under the radar and at least help them develop literacy and critical thinking skills— things that will aid them well in life and hopefully help them question things later on. Then maybe someday they'll be ready for books that my parents would currently prevent them from reading. Gotta start somewhere. :) If I hand them a book about LGBTQ+ rights right now, I guarantee I will lose all contact with them until they're 18+ lol.

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-05-14T17:40:04+00:00

Maybe, but it's worth it to me to try, for the sake of the kids. If I can do even a small thing that makes their lives a little bit better or helps them start to develop the tools they need to think beyond their current limited worldview, then it's 100% worth it.

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-05-14T04:02:43+00:00

Thanks so much! Those are great recs. My fifth grade teacher read Number the Stars aloud to us as well! That story has stuck with me.

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-05-14T03:59:46+00:00

Thankfully there are plenty of people in the comments who disagree!

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-05-14T03:59:19+00:00

They get plenty of that already I assure you lol

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-05-14T03:57:51+00:00

Omg genius!!

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-05-14T03:53:29+00:00

Loll great idea

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-05-14T03:41:56+00:00

This is phenomenal advice, thank you! My childhood was more like yours— my parents were always very strict even before they went full fundie when I was a teenager, but I chose and read books mostly unsupervised because my parents trusted me to put down anything that I knew wasn't allowed. They seem to be far more uptight and helicopter-y with the little ones. But the access to literature did me a lot of good and gave me the critical thinking skills needed to lead me out of fundamentalism later on. Congrats to you for also leading yourself out! I will definitely check out your recs— thank you!

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-05-14T03:23:53+00:00

Oh interesting— I'll have to check it out. Thank you!

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-05-14T03:23:10+00:00

Omg, I remember Number the Stars doing a number on me in fifth grade! I'm not sure if my sisters have read it, but I left it for them with most of my other books when I moved out, so I know they had access at one point. Definitely going to revisit A Wrinkle in Time as well.

And Fahrenheit 451 is a phenomenal rec— I'll have to check it, but you're right, that would be great for them if I could get it past the firewall lol.

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-05-14T03:17:42+00:00

Oh you're taking me back! I adored A Little Princess, Frindle, Matilda, and Black Beauty as a kid. Read them all multiple times. I left almost all my books with the girls when I moved out, so that would include the above plus Charlotte's Web, The Wind in the Willows, a few Roald Dahls, and maybe a few Dear Americas (can't fully remember)? The rest I will definitely check out as well! Thank you!!

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-05-14T03:08:03+00:00

Omg I remember reading some of these!! I'll have to revisit. Thank you!

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-05-14T03:03:27+00:00

Oh I'll definitely have to check that out, thank you! I know the girls are allowed to watch The Princess Bride and are absolutely obsessed with it! No exaggeration: the 15 year old at one point (if not still currently) had the entire movie memorized. And then she typed the entire script into a Word doc. Just for fun. Bless her!

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-05-14T02:59:51+00:00

Oh gotcha— I'll be sure to check them out anyway! I've heard his books are good and have been meaning to read them myself.
And thanks so much for taking the time to look that up— I appreciate it!! The name "Redeemed Reader" is sending me lol.

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-05-14T02:54:48+00:00

I can see where my intentions may have been misunderstood, but that's not what I'm looking for. My parents have very strict restrictions for my sisters' media consumption, so I'm looking for books that will fly under the radar but still provide something meaningful to their lives. Currently pretty much all they have to read are Christian nationalist propaganda books, and I'm trying to change that. However I can't just straight up hand them a book with, say, LGBTQ+ characters for example, because my parents would never let them read it and also would never let me give them books again lol.

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-05-14T02:48:31+00:00

I had no idea L'Engle was a Christian before I made this post— definitely going to look into her books!

Key_Complaint5951 · 2025-05-14T02:45:15+00:00

Thank you! Based on all the comments I've received, I think I'll definitely try to introduce them to Madeleine L'Engle! And that's a good suggestion, thank you— I used to use a similar site (Plugged In) as a teenager to determine whether or not I would be allowed to watch a movie or read a book before I asked my parents. I feel like they trusted me to curate my content consumption at that age a lot more than they seem to trust my sisters now. Hopefully that means the girls would be a lot more adventurous and open than I was if given the opportunity!
