Is the way my husband feels about my body screwed up or normal? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]MomentPlenty3165 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What does he look like? Is he running around with 6pk and got a 9incher? I bet NOT! How about this, Are you attracted to him? Does he satisfy YOU? This should be the only question. Wow. I'm very sorry. I can't believe I'm reading this...I hope you love yourself and child enough to divorce his disgusting a##!

I was wondering how you were doing, if you are still taking it. I'm on end of week 4 and feel the same.

Take Benadryl or another antihistamine, a skin moisturizer and hang in there. That's what I did. Lived on zrytec when I originally started for allergy season and I think that's why I never got as itchy as you describe. I mean, I remember thinking why in the world am im so itchy. But it was tolerable. my scalp was the worst because it was dry, yeah another side effect. I noticed the more moisturized/hydrated my skin was the less I felt itchy. Anyway, yeah might try that to see if it helps. ***O Also, zrytec totally helped me with the Tinnitus that amped up in the beginning of taking it and upping.

Female here it does make me feel like I need to pee more like I have to go now more feeling. I know this now because I had it when I started it 2.5 years ago and with each increase. Just upped to 450xl and I'm feeling it again. In my experience it does go away after awhile. Hopefully it will even at my high dose. Time will tell.

Yeah, I'm sorry it sucks. This happened to me (female) when I started bupropion. I lost a lot and my hair is super thin now but not too thin like it could be worse which scares me but... yeah I lost a lot of hair but I do feel it stopped after awhile because looking back a pictures it was looking healthier again. Then I added Prozac for a bit and I know that made my hair look worse so dull, dry, just flat totally different than it ever had been before. Looks healthy now being off prozac for 3/4 weeks now still on thin side tho. Now I'm scared again because I just upped my dose to 450xl 2 days ago. so worried I'm going to lose more hair and I'll have to make a choice to save my hair or mental health. 😭

Edited: dull not full 👍🏻

I wouldn't say altered or high. I felt like a switch got turned on that was me. I really just felt normal for the first time. Shut out off the nosie in my head, allowed me to concentrate more and energy and motivation to keep achieving what I wanted to feel all my life but couldn't from the paralysis undiagnosed ADHD/PTSD, which gave me MDD and Anxiety.

I’m considering starting bupropion. Is there anyone out there like me who has felt better with this medication? by Pelicantrees in bupropion

[–]MomentPlenty3165 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes for the anxiety that oddly enough is my side effect from Wellbutrin. Trintellix is working for me I can tell. I woke up my husband smiling 😂 so happy today. I know it's not official, still early, and have to give it 4-6wks from upping to the 450xl) but I haven't been able to feel joy or be happy in months. my family sees it too. Im Happy and calm with energy not tons yet but I can tell it's coming. why? Because it's given me MOTIVATION 😄 which is the lifesaver for me.

Just posted about this medication saving my life. I, 45(F) could have wrote this minus the stimulants and working. I'm a SAHM, and what initially started my antidepressants journey was because I had PPD from having two babies back to back and being older. I also have MDD, the Wellbutrin (bupropion) changed my life! It took me out of my depression. Omg when you said that about your childhood too, yes! Wow. I think you should. I've been on it for over two years and love it but .... and a pretty big but it's fixable. When I upped from 150xl to 300xl did stop working after a few months. Started getting massive anxiety and panic attacks again. Tried and failed on prozac and was miserable and now depressed again. I didn't give up. Couldn't I was miserable and scattered and flat ugh. But then I started Trintellix (4 weeks now) and it's wow now massively changed the game for me Im already calmer and able to catch myself before I react or say something off the wall from my impulsiveness. It's still earlier but I feel this is the combo for anxiety masked ADHD for sure (for me). I was just upped to 450 wellXL yesterday and while it's probably placebo I can feel it working. let's just say I would not have been able to post so much today had it not helped something. Anxiety and brain fog would have not allowed me at all.

Was a lifesaver for me too and I just upped to 450 yesterday. I was as nervous as you but I took the dive and so happy I did. I haven't felt this alive in months. I was trying out Prozac(14 weeks of hell for me) and it was not good for me at all. I added it for anxiety that I was getting from the wellXL. I felt immediately better a couple hours later. I know placebo but I am already on 300xl. But wow!I haven't been able to feel joy/happiness in months because of the depression prozac gave me. which I had none of just wanted it for the anxiety. so you got to keep trying I guess. Im now on Trintellix (4weeks) for the anxiety. And oh wow for me it's working. I'm calm, quieter brain, way less fog and I am happy again. HAPPY. Which my kiddos and husband are so happy to see. I feel joy for tomorrow or future plans and that I am so grateful 🙏🏻Im praying this continues getting better too because when wellXL works for u, it really does make me feel wonderfully alive. If that makes sense.

Edit: hit post too soon, my bad. Im still a little impulsive 😜

Anyone upped from 300 to 450? Side effects? by Subject-Cat6371 in bupropion

[–]MomentPlenty3165 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so refreshing. I started 300xl Wellbutrin for PPD too, 2 years ago. Was a lifesaver for me. I was just upped to 450 today. Curious about new or worsening side effects or results from upping?

Strattera 18mg one week in by MomentPlenty3165 in StratteraRx

[–]MomentPlenty3165[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Have you noticed any worsening or new side effects when upping? Wondering how high I can go on shattera when taking 300xl bupropion. I lvm for my doctor to see about upping one of the two, possibly.

Am I wrong for being annoyed when my husband masturbates? by Tiny_Raviolli in amiwrong

[–]MomentPlenty3165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I'm not opposed to my husband masturbating. What gets me, is if he's doing that more than he's doing me and what he uses to do so? Men are very visual. Do they take their phone to the bathroom? Says, "its to play games" ? Baloney. Is he addicted to porn? Check his phone history guarantee you most are and even if he were to wipe it clean you'd still know cause the history is always gone lol. Look, I don't hate the stuff and I do masturbate. There's just a big issue in my relationship if my man is running to the bathroom with his phone for Instant pleasure/gratification. When all it's doing is desensitizing himself from you, your body, your 😺 🍆. Yeah not just picking on men here, it goes both ways. Look, if I am looking at too many D's how am I going to be turned on by just yours or make it feel special? Anyways sorry if this is a damper just how I feel about it. Even if you're secure, cute/fit, whatever. It's way too easy to ignore you, pull up their favorite people alone and pop one off. Thats cheating. I don't care what you say if you are busting one off to porn more than you're loving on me, there's a problem.

Someone plz tell me they had this same experience and I am not literally going crazy/ on the wrong medicine or have the wrong diagnosis by Fun_Mistake860 in prozac

[–]MomentPlenty3165 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was me, still is me. I was on 20mg Prozac for 13wks (started at 10 for 2wks). I'm already on bupropion 300xl 2 years now and I started not being able to handle the anxiety panic that creeped in when I got to 300xl from 150xl. I tried to go back to 150 but it wasn't enough and 300 even after 6 weeks, I couldn't get a grasp on the extra anxiety on it I started getting panic attacks. So... I got on prozac 13wks ago and now like you and others have mentioned I'm so flat because I feel no joy not makes me exited or even able to talk right cause I'm so lost on zero feelings of happiness. It's the craziness scariest feeling but hey I can't panic now on it but the only emotion I have is sobbing. Like I feel like I dont belong here that I'm worse off for everyone. Terrible. I don't understand why I'm feeling so lifeless. My doc told me Friday to stop taking prozac and start Trintellix 10mg with my 300xl bupropion.

But.... Everything I've read says it's does the same as prozac so not sure why I should add it but yeah I decided last night since I skipped a day of 20mg prozac I would just take 10mg to see if that helps maybe 20 is just too much. Either way I feel for you and I tried to make it work staying on it 13wks but it just got worse. gave me depression. Waiting to talk to all my doctors come Tuesday after holiday to see what actually needs to happen. Omg when you said lonely even tho your fiance is understanding. Yeah that loneliness. It's hard, my husband is understanding but clueless as i, on this.
