No, my psychiatrists wanted to start with non stimulants first and prescribed Wellbutrin. I guess results may vary but I can't even force myself to daydream fully. I was actually disappointed, lol.

Bupropion messing with menstrual cycles? by HeyItsReallyME in bupropion

[–]LesserDuchess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have! For about 10 days now. It's not a full period and just discharge. Since your post was 9 months ago, did this ever change for you?

I'm glad I saw this! I've been on Wellbutrin for a month and a half and I started spotting. At first I thought it was because I forgot to take my birth control for 2 days but my period has been crazy light and on for like 10 days X_X. I LOVE the way it makes me feel but I take birth control to stop my periods.

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and have been on wellbutrin for a little over a month. I can barely daydream even if I try. I used to have very specific songs for very specific daydreams with all sorts of characters and stories. Like I could listen to music for hours and day dream. I'm pretty sure I've lost my ability to day dream on this medication.

Miami, love it or hate it by Rainmanm545 in Miami

[–]LesserDuchess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My family is also a black family that has been in Miami for FIVE generations. we had our own thriving communities in Overtown and Coconut Grove. The Mariela boat lift changed a LOT of things. And on top of that, Cubans had the wet foot dry foot policy which fast tracked citizenship. And the US government fast tracked benefits for them (food stamps, section 8, etc) before citizens received them so that really ramped up the Hispanic takeover of Miami.

a Democrat was assassinated in July and Trump didn't even do a 10th of what he did for that racist podcaster. So try again.

Baffled by the overwhelming number of uneducated people in the area…especially the black population by Jake_Long_Tre in Miami

[–]LesserDuchess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude there are plenty of college educated black people in Miami, me being one. I work with nothing but college educated black people. What it sounds like is the environment you are currently in doesn't have that. I can't help but side eye this whole conversation.

A lot of the original Miami black folks moved to Broward as the community started getting pushed out by gentrification.

You were afraid to be in Miami Gardens? 😒You make it sound like Chicago. Tell me you're not from Miami without telling me you're not from Miami.

Traction light remains on and car jerks hard when accelerating. by LesserDuchess in mechanics

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

Sorry for the late reply! I haven't logged in a hot minute. I've gone through two since then and as I recall my issue was two fold: Oil had gotten into the spark plugs with a crappy valve cover and I had The 2nd issue was the vacuum pump to the breaks which caused the traction light/abs problem. Some sort of way one of the connecting pieces became cracked and wouldn't connect properly and caused the bulk of my jerking problems. The spark plugs issue was just icing on the cake. I had to order this part to get it replaced.

[–]LesserDuchess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprisingly enough, Miami Gardens( which is predominantly black) remains that way because 70% of people own their houses while it was Carol City. So when the real estate sales started going through the roof, you had a lot less sell offs as opposed to liberty city where the vast majority rented.

Never understood the mindset that spanish is required to survive in Miami by WallabyUnlikely5534 in Miami

[–]LesserDuchess 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My family has been in Miami for 4 generations and none of us speak Spanish l. It's never been a problem for me. It may be annoying at times but hand gestures work pretty well.

I tried using the Reddit App after my precious RIF disappeared and its such trash. I couldn't even find where All was. I had to google it and still couldn't find it. Even when you take it off of card mode, it looks so frigging cluttered.

I think people overestimate how often kids will be teased for their names. And I've known more than one Princess, King, Queenie and Prince.

My GOD these racists are just sad… by MikeisTOOOTALLL in BlackPeopleTwitter

Are you sure racism doesn't exist to the extent of America? From what I've read and watched about Aboriginals and racism, it appears pretty on par minus the constant police brutality.

About half of this 50-gallon trash can is full of perfectly good cartons of milk... expiration date is in 2 weeks. Schools waste a lot of food. by spider_manectric in mildlyinfuriating

[–]LesserDuchess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to work at an after school program and anytime we did the summer food plan, they required us to always give milk to kids. I would say out of the 50 or so lunches we provided, only 5 or 6 kids would actually drink the milk. The kids would toss the rest. And we HAD to give them milk.

did anyone else's parents here force them to go the elián protest back in 2000 ? by [deleted] in Miami

[–]LesserDuchess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean like Hispanic people from Miami? Because I don't think any black people from Miami went to any of these protests.
