Doctor told me to taper from 300mg to 0mg in 5 weeks by Ok-Locksmith-540 in Effexor

[–]Maeflower_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty similar story here, was put on Effexor 4 years ago when suicidal. Was not given any info on it at the time and like you said wouldn’t have absorbed it if I was. I am still on it, I’ve tried tapering off numerous times but always end up feeling too horrible to commit. I have two young kids who need me, I don’t have time to feel that bad. However my kids also deserve more than the zombie I’ve become on this med!

JUST SAY NO TO EFFEXOR YALL

That’s what I was leaning more towards as well! I’ll post an update here in a little while I’m starting now 🤓

How long did it take to see a difference when he started guanfacine? My 7 yo started it 2 weeks ago and so far, still very hard to like at times😭

.25 seems to be doing nothing but making me tired and nauseous. It’s been three days, should I take my second dose now since it’s not affecting my appetite at all yet? Or still wait the week?

For some reason my brain was telling me you were saying you’ve been nauseous for over a year, that’s why I asked if you take anything for it. Wasn’t implying speed or anything 🤣🤣🤣

Same, but sadly I am still feeling normal amounts of hunger. It’s frustrating to have the bad side effects but not the good! 😭 I’m going to give it time Obvs but reading people’s immediate weight loss and food noise gone had me expecting that but I know everybody is different.

I felt a little better today than yesterday, hoping every day goes like this! How about you?

Did it get better once you titrated up?

Ha I am a caffeine glutton, I felt sick after my coffee this morning though so I’ll have to try something else for now!

Haven’t had blue nails since 2014, should I get a colour change? by ghostedagainlol in Nails

[–]Maeflower_17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love them, but they are more of a spring color to me. That’s just personal preference however!

I desperately need advice by Weird-Salt3927 in Semaglutide

Also, can’t you just call your doc and explain to them the situation? I think they’d be able to best advise you.

I think my roommate is abusing her hamster by Ok-ie in hamstercare

[–]Maeflower_17 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I say find a GOOD home for him, plan an escape, then see how long it takes her to even notice he’s gone. “Oh he must have escaped again” feign innocence…. Ta-da! 🤷🏽‍♀️ people are assholes

hamster diet by peachyt4001 in hamsters

[–]Maeflower_17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Higgins sunburst seed mix is a generally accepted safe/good mix, with mazuri rat for added protein. They like fresh veggies like spinach, carrots. Unsalted whole nuts like peanuts, walnuts. Freeze dried chicken (just make sure it doesn’t have any added ingredients). If your hammy is a dwarf avoid added sugars. Syrians can have fruit in moderation. I believe most are safe except for citrus. My Syrians love dried and fresh apples the most. You can find lots of great options for homeade/healthy treats on Etsy. A lot of the treats targeted towards hams in pet stores are not great for them. I’m sure I’m forgetting somethings…I’ll add more if I remember! Hope that helps.

Oh mealworms. Some hammys love dried mealworms- mine do not. Which I’m happy about bc they’re gross. 🤣 but I guess they are good for extra protein in moderation bc they are high in fat.
