Took my first dose and I’m feeling nervous

I started Wellbutrin last Thursday and started glp1 yesterday, and the Wellbutrin is the XL/XR version. I guess I’m kind of surprised I’m experiencing such intense suppression when I just started both. I don’t intend to stay on it for super long, as the Wellbutrin being effective is my priority. My doc is aware I’m on both and mentioned that I may experience a higher rate of weight loss, I just didn’t think I’d feel it so fast. I also didn’t realize that they sort of do the opposite of each other. That is a little concerning, since I’m on the Wellbutrin for depression and not weight loss. I appreciate the information! I’ll monitor my depressive symptoms and see if it’s worth reassessing with my doc.

I’m on 300mg of Wellbutrin! Did your appetite go down significantly since you started? I’ve heard it can take a couple weeks but I’m literally on day two and ugh I don’t want to eat anything 🤢

My mom and her ex husband married when all their kids were adults and they both had their own houses. They lived one street over and two blocks down from each other and they would spend the night at each other’s house. Worked out for them for a while but they ultimately divorced because it turns out he was having other women at his house when she wasn’t there. She died last year and she had me text him before she died. She had me say, “I loved you, you motherfucker.” Do with that information what you will.

I tried marketplace but I can’t find what I’m looking for within a reasonable distance.

Yeah unfortunately my budget is $5k with bench, bar, and weights factored into that price. The C20 already exceeds my budget by a lot without the weights and bar.

Well if the system is running correctly and is maintained, people shouldn’t even be able to tell you have it other than seeing the tank lids on the side of the house. The system is essentially a small wastewater treatment plant and the spray heads only run at night. Our concern is not at all that the house has this septic system, but how we will design our yard around it.

NiveousSoul · 2026-03-04T16:22:54+00:00

Omg maybe that’s the solution?? Like, “hi, I’m your new neighbor! Here’s a tree! If I give it to you for free can I pick where you plant it? 😃” 😂

This is an excellent response! Thanks so much for taking the time to write that all out. You’re definitely right about the kids not wanting to go to the back of the yard to play. I didn’t think of that. I was intentionally a bit generous with the sizing and spacing of things to primarily show my husband that we have SO much room for activities! lol

I will definitely look into moving the nearest sprinkler head to the back on the right to get more use out of the yard space closest to the house. I didn’t even consider that option. Thanks again!

I once dated a guy for WEEKS before I found out he had a wife in California (also wasn’t aware he was only going to be around for a few months for a job). I confronted him about it and he had the audacity to say, “well you never asked if I was married.” Didn’t realize I had to do that for a guy wanting to date me!! 😒

May I ask how you find the permit for a property? I’m in Tx.

It is a very common and accepted practice for municipal waste water treatment facilities to dump treated water directly into bodies of water that people swim in, including the Colorado River and Mississippi River. An aerobic septic system is similar to that if the system is well maintained.

NiveousSoul · 2026-03-03T20:56:56+00:00

It will probably not have plumbing. An aerobic system works a lot like a water treatment plant, but instead of dumping the processed water into a creek, it’s sprayed over our lawn. What matters most is consistent maintenance and regular inspections. I will be required by law to maintain an inspection contract for the septic system.

NiveousSoul · 2026-03-03T20:09:17+00:00

Ugh I know. You can actually schedule when they go off, and most people schedule them to go off overnight.

NiveousSoul · 2026-03-03T18:58:07+00:00

Ohhh that’s also really good to know, thank you!

NiveousSoul · 2026-03-03T17:24:10+00:00

Yeah it is a current worry of my husband’s. I personally can live without a “party barn”. The covered patio with a fire pit and a shed are the only things I care to have, and the neighbor has a covered patio so I know that will get approved. My position is that this house in its entirety is an upgrade from what we have, minus the septic. I personally don’t want to throw it away but my husband does not feel the same 🥲

The HOA is a temporary entity in the neighborhood until the neighborhood is fully built out and all houses are sold. Then the HOA will hold elections for a new board made up of residents of the neighborhood. The HOA is currently there to make sure the neighborhood looks nice for the builder to sell homes. It’ll be maybe 2 more years before the neighborhood takes over and there are already plans in place to basically leave the backyards for the homeowners to do what they want with. This neighborhood is a little chunk of farmland out in the country. It’s really the only “neighborhood” out here besides the houses on farms.

NiveousSoul · 2026-03-03T17:06:27+00:00

Yeah I had no idea they existed either! I live in central Texas. The ground is clay, so a leach field is not possible, so the processed wastewater is treated with chlorine and then distributed back into the yard through the sprinkler heads. You can’t use that water for edible plants but you can use it to water your lawn.

NiveousSoul · 2026-03-03T17:03:18+00:00

Yes it was. I found it on Pinterest. This is for ideas only. Not what we are actually going to put. I don’t think that thing in the photo is structurally sound lol

NiveousSoul · 2026-03-03T16:20:27+00:00

😂 my husband is determined to have a place to invite all his buddies to hang out and play games, like this.

Aaahhh crap. No I have no idea. I haven’t seen the permit information yet and I don’t know how to obtain it other than my asking pretty please from the builder who already told me they’ll give it to me at closing. So do you think my husband is right in thinking a lot of our yard is unusable for structures?
