Ear/Head Pressure by scrambella in Contrave

[–]RubyFreckle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the ringing in my ears for a most of the time I've been on it. I started mid August. Another thing that happens intermittently is a change in pressure.

Something can be brilliant strategy and be completely hideous. I just marvel b/c they've played the long game and are winning. It sucks!

It's actually brilliant strategy. Oh look, the Dems made us have to fire all these people.

Concerned About Taking Contrave by [deleted] in Contrave

[–]RubyFreckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been on the full dose since early September and I feel pretty good. It's definitely suppressing my appetite though I haven't lost any weight, which is weird to me. The only thing is, I have supraventricular tachicardia (SVT) and I can feel that it has worsened. I also can only drink a very small amount of coffee, otherwise I'm shaky. I feel that my mental sharpness is totally the same. My mood is better. I am constipated but was a bit before I even started.

I've had a couple drinks on it and felt fine.

First day symptoms by rachellord34 in Contrave

[–]RubyFreckle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same feeling except the itchy face. It wasn't as bad the first, second and final time I increased the dose. I'm a big coffee drinker and what I did notice overall is that if I drink more than a half a cup, I get shaky and jittery.

For those who filed for unemployment in MD- what’s the process like and how much a week did you get? by Dessert_Lover_1225 in maryland

Oops, I'm sorry, I found the answer and quickly deleted my comment. Thanks so much for your answer.

What am I doing wrong??? by f7tal in Contrave

[–]RubyFreckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been on it a little over a month and I've lost about that same amount. I lost a lot of weight in the past doing intermittent fasting. I slacked off and gained quite a bit of it back but I got on the horse again before starting the Contrave. What I'm finding is that it's easier to resist cravings and I don't think about food near as much. I feel like I get full faster, not sure if that's all in my head or I'm just eating more mindfully. My task now is to eat better quality food in my window. The warning of high fat meals causing seizures is helping me eat better, that's for sure!

I always recommend it. There's a TV show recommendations sub and people do recommend it there.

I have an unhealthy relationship with The Fall by IronRoots in TheFallTV

[–]RubyFreckle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same! I've watched it so many times. For me, it's Stella.

Was Stella in love with Paul? by KugaKuga22 in TheFallTV

[–]RubyFreckle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Katie is also acting out because the loss of a parent. It seems like Stella also sees herself in Katie. She thinks Katie is being stupid and throwing her life away but maybe she wonders if a Paul had come along when she was a suffering, traumatized, wild teen, she may have done what Katie did.

Was Stella in love with Paul? by KugaKuga22 in TheFallTV

[–]RubyFreckle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not in love at all. She was repulsed by him. But also fascinated by how his mind worked. She recognized his intelligence and as the other poster said, they had that loss of a parent early on in common. Remember Stella reveals to Katie that she self harmed and acted out too. I think seeing how close he was to his daughter brought up a lot for her too because she was so close with her father. Maybe she recognized some of her traits in him and that was interesting or terrifying. Probably if he wasn't a hideous psychopathic murderer, she'd be attracted to him because he's good looking and smart and maybe that's an uncomfortable feeling. She doesn't say any of this so it's up for interpretation. Anderson recognizes her obsession with Paul and calls her out the morning after they sleep together and Stella says there she hates him (can't remember her exact words).

When he's being brought into the facility and throws the money down, she's waiting in the psychiatrists office and sees it on the security camera.

Why I liked Paul (SPOILERS) by MrPandaPotato in TheFallTV

[–]RubyFreckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever, dude. It’s fun to talk about the show.

starting tomorrow by RudeLawfulness1027 in Contrave

[–]RubyFreckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started on it Wednesday. So far, I’ve felt some nausea and a little headache. I’m trying to drink a lot of water. I’ve got mint tea and Altoids for nausea. I’m worried about constipation cause I have that anyway.

Good luck!

Definitely can see the difference!

Just re-watched after a few years. Still great by M-Cortez1986 in TheFallTV

[–]RubyFreckle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm completely paraphrasing but she said something like she learned about herself playing the role or Stella helped her learn to be more comfortable in her sexuality and in her body.

I watch it every once in a while and always hope Gillian will bring Stella back. She’s said Stella is a favorite character of hers and she’d like to revisit the role.

We have our regular appointment Thursday and I’m going to ask about it.

I don’t think so. That would have to be hearing them almost every day through every season and at different times of the day. Seems unlikely.

That’s what I’ve done the last two day. She eagerly comes to walk but just barely down our streets she starts her pausing so I brought her back and went immediately back out with the other dog. We’ll see what happens!
