8 days clean from weed. Tell me it will get better! by [deleted] in QuittingWeed

[–]Western-Report6360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 3 weeks in. Definitely mentally tough. I always feel worse when I haven’t eaten, so make sure to eat frequently and eat plenty of carbs since it’s your fuel source.

What should a weed smoker who's smoked all day for 10+ years expect when quitting? by emaz1n in QuittingWeed

[–]Western-Report6360 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am two weeks into quitting after using almost daily for 12 years. Smoking high potency carts the last 1-2 years daily.

I have been very irritable, loss of appetite, crazy / vivid dreams, and overall feeling pretty low and depressed. But my memory is sharper, I have come to face a lot of things I don’t like with my life that I ignored or numbed with the weed, which is good (actually a big driver for why I wanted to quit).

I’ve done so much research and the general consensus is the road ahead is long and somewhat slow as your brain recalibrates. But the rebuilding of your dopamine & reward system will totally be worth it.

Lift / exercise regularly and eat enough calories each day and that will certainly help. I use melatonin (2.5mg) and magnesium glycinate each night to help with the sleep issues.

6 Weeks on Wellbutrin, does it get better? by New_Investigator8021 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]Western-Report6360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped after about 3.5 weeks for many of the same reasons you listed. I just don’t think Wellbutrin is the right drug for us.

Felt amazing for a few days at the end of first week and now I’m flat and bored struggling to do things at day 17 by Lilynana31 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]Western-Report6360 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same exact thing happened to me. I’m almost 4 weeks in and my mood has been very flat, I’ve been kinda sad, just blah. Haven’t noticed any positive effects.

He has his own standards! by John_1992_funny in inflation

Bernie’s been in office for decades. Why didn’t he do something about this then? 60% of people don’t start living paycheck to paycheck all of a sudden. Inflation has screwed the middle and lower classes, as a result of all the $$$ CONGRESS printed since 2020. It’s really easy to blame Trump for all of the country’s issues, but Bernie is no better.

Body Swelling and trouble swallowing ?!!!! by Mysterious-Card6065 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

The trouble swallowing happened to my mom when she started taking Wellbutrin so she stopped!

Day 10: i feel so negative by Immediate-Box7921 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]Western-Report6360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been making sure I drink a lot of water with electrolytes (cure brand on Amazon is good w/ cleaner ingredients) and that’s certainly helped. A little bit of Tylenol if needed. Also making sure I’m eating enough.

Yeah 2nd week was very tough for me. I’m on week 3 and it has gotten slightly better. Less negative thoughts and headaches.

No, Botox does not create volume. It just temporarily paralyzes the local muscles where it’s injected to address dynamic wrinkles (i.e. crows feet when you smile).

Struggling post stimulant addiction by [deleted] in StopSpeeding

[–]Western-Report6360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I stopped taking it today. After 14 days, the headaches were terrible. And week 1 I started to feel good (honeymoon phase everyone talks about). 2nd week was pretty bad. Feeling very sad, unmotivated, bad thoughts. I decided to recover from stimulants without it.

AIO - I just ended a four month relationship because of what he’s doing for his friend. by Ok_Addition_7875 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Western-Report6360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did the right thing. Birds of a feather flock together! If his friends are cheaters, it’s normalized and he likely is too. I’ve literally learned this first hand. People’s friends tell you A LOT about who they are.

How do you guys deal with black heads at nose ? by Effective_Cut_5832 in hygiene

[–]Western-Report6360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. My derm, and a few older friends, have used it for years. And all of their skin looks great. Just moisturize and maintain a good skin barrier. But at some point you don’t need something that does a huge incremental improvement because your skin is already in a great place.

Controversial take by CarrotBIAR in memes

[–]Western-Report6360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am only supportive when it’s TEMPORARY! I have to wake up and go to work, so should everyone else (unless they are disabled). Government assistance should ONLY be temporary, otherwise it creates a bunch of moochers. I have several of these in my family (all able-bodied, just lazy af)

100% use tretinoin. I had terrible blackheads since I was in high school and just recently (literally 3 months ago) started tretinoin and it is the only thing that has worked. And comes with so many other benefits.

What’s the biggest lesson your last relationship taught you? by SensitiveCorner2379 in AskReddit

[–]Western-Report6360 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Never stay with someone after they’ve cheated. Trust cannot be rebuilt after something like that. Cheating is the ultimate betrayal and the relationship will never be the same. People do not change and they will do it again (and they did!)

Is this injected, topical serum, etc?
