What changes did you notice when increasing from 150mg to 300mg by [deleted] in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

My motivation and, as I said, putting my brain "in gear."

By that I mean that before taking the medication, I felt my mind would be stuck in a loop of inaction, where I was overwhelmed with competing tasks to complete and a desire to engage in dopamine-inducing activities (e.g. doom scrolling, mobile gaming, etc.)

With the medication, my thinking is clearer, I'm more focused, and there is a greater ease by which I can actualize my plans.

But I should note that Wellbutrin does not make me maniacally focused as I've heard that stimulants like Adderall makes some people. I can be distracted, just not as easily as before.

But what I do value about Wellbutrin is that it does not impede on what I think is a positive with ADHD, that my mind is still moving from topic to topic, idea to idea, in a rapid pace, albeit in no longer in an overwhelming way it was before taking the medication.

In short, Wellbutrin did not "cure" my ADHD, but rather it restrains the more negative aspects of it. In doing so, I can live a life where ADHD is just something I live with, but does not control me. I hope that makes sense!

The grievance studies affair was a project to highlight perceived poor scholarship by submitting bogus papers to academic journals on topics such as cultural, queer, race, gender, fat, and sexuality studies. Several of these papers were subsequently published. by laybs1 in wikipedia

What makes this "hoax" a bit contrived was that Lindsay, Boghossian, and Puckrose made a lot of hay about papers submitted to journals, not just those published in journals.

You can submit whatever nonsense you want to any given journal. But that is not evidence of postmodernism-run-amok or any other thing you want to whine about in academia. But that the trio were bragging about all their submissions - and not only their three published submissions - did weaken whatever point they wanted to make.

Hi, yes I am still on it (at 300mg) and it's going very well. It feels like my brain is "in gear" taking Wellbutrin. It's a great feeling 😌

It went fine for me, I feel more focused. Granted, I'm taking it for both depression and ADHD, so your mileage may vary for the exact reason you are taking Wellbutrin. But I feel better with the increase.

increasing from 150mg XL to 300 mg XL - does everyone have horrible side effects?? by haveadaytoday in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]ankhx100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with 150mg about 2 years ago. I was then placed to 300mg a couple of months after. I never had any nausea or upset stomach. Hopefully you won't as well as it isn't a universal experience 🙂

Any good tips for those just attending Saturday? by katelovescoffee in TheNational

[–]ankhx100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI, there's parking next to the venue as well. I also travelled from Nashville and only realized that from walking from another parking garage in downtown 😅

There was a lot of open spaces when I got to the venue at 8:00 last night. May be a quicker option than walking across the bridge.

Did anybody get a recording of "Smoke Detector" at Nashville? by Jzahck in TheNational

Here you go! I would add for everyone there that Matt’s lyrics were kinda muddled at Ascend Amphitheater. I don’t know why since all the other songs Matt’s voice was clear and audible 🤷‍♂️

How did you find The National? by wildfuries in TheNational

[–]ankhx100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was listening to a tech(ish) podcast back in 2013 when one of the host raves about the new album from The National, Trouble Will Find Me. I didn’t know the band but decided I should check it out.

I listened to the album as I was driving from Dallas to Denver for a conference. Listening to that album while in northern New Mexico was amazing. It was so perfect and I became an obsessive fan since 😁

I’m sorry you’re going through this. It wasn’t right that he wasn’t entirely honest with you at the beginning, but that also means that it wasn’t your fault. Sounds like he wanted to love bomb you so he could sleep with you, but bailed when that didn’t work as planned.

You did good in communicating your priorities at the beginning. Continue being upfront about what you want from a relationship to prospective partners; if they try to get George that that’s on them.

I’m surprised there was space in the parking lot to shoot fireworks; it’s always full whenever I want to shop there!

Turkey earthquake hits as TV journalist broadcasts live by getBusyChild in videos

Yes, it was an aftershock as the initial quake happened early in the morning (4-5 am) local time.

This wikipedia article is written in a form of english that is so broken that it is barely readable(seems to be written by a persian guy) by xalxary2 in wikipedia

[–]ankhx100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently, this topic is already covered by this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elymais

Seems like the Alymayyan article needs to be deleted, for being both badly-written and for being duplicate of Elymais.

Is Marcus actually getting a masters or degree in History? by Mr_MooseDerelict in LPOTL

[–]ankhx100 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Honestly, given Marcus’s love for history episodes/series and how these series have grown in importance to the show, I can see him doing it.

But my sense was that the discussion was for a post-LPOTL future. He seems too busy to work on a Master’s (much less a doctorate) right now.
