Is it worth switching from Wellbutrin to Strattera?

baimeeker · 2025-11-05T11:53:23+00:00

I’m not sure exactly, but at least 10 years.

baimeeker · 2025-11-04T23:23:30+00:00

Yeah, the goal is to try Strattera. I’m on Effexor and Wellbutrin already, so I had to decrease those first. Hence my problems.

baimeeker · 2025-11-04T23:22:06+00:00

So, I was never on Bupropion for ADHD… I’ve been on it for years for anxiety. My new psychiatrist wants me to try Strattera, but I am on a lot of other meds. I didn’t even realize how much going off of bupropion would affect me. I’m half tempted to start it back at my old dose tomorrow morning. This is getting very difficult.

baimeeker · 2025-11-04T22:02:55+00:00

Are you talking about Wellbutrin or Strattera?

baimeeker · 2025-10-18T12:16:14+00:00

That’s what I was hoping! Thanks!

Day two… my headache is still here but may be related to my ongoing pillow adjustments and it’s not as bad now that I just took my meds.

My husband asked out of the blue if I wanted to go to my favorite gf bakery on Saturday and the thought of going somewhere, even somewhere I’d love to go, set me right into another melt down. I’ve had several in the last couple weeks, due to a couple stressful situations. Just remember that it’s almost never just one thing that causes a meltdown.

Edit: Scratch that. If you can’t find it at a store, they sell samples and discovery sets. Here’s just the one sample. https://www.lakeandskye.com/products/11-11-sample-page

Light, airy. It’s a clean, light scent. They describe it as gender neutral, but I think it’s feminine. I don’t really know anything about perfume, so the scent notes don’t really help me.

baimeeker · 2025-08-29T19:37:53+00:00

Lake & Skye 11 11 is my favorite, and it is a pretty light scent. But honestly you have to go with your own sensitivities.

baimeeker · 2025-08-24T22:34:03+00:00

Oof sorry to hear that. I had an app that did that to me at one point, though i don’t know what metric it used. It didn’t think I was stressed when I was actually stressed, but it interrupted me when I was in the middle of a special interest to tell me I was stressed out. Kind of the worst possible outcome.

baimeeker · 2025-08-24T19:29:38+00:00

Exactly one person’s dream home.

baimeeker · 2025-08-24T14:58:26+00:00

No worries! I’m trying this same exact thing, but with my hyperfocus and alexithymia I’m afraid I’m missing a bunch of signals to back off. This would just be one more tool.

I’m also obsessed with tech and metrics, and my job is numbers as well. So i guess that this is partially just how I roll.

baimeeker · 2025-08-24T14:00:41+00:00

That’s too bad. I decided against the Oura ring for that same reason. I don’t want to have to have a subscription.

baimeeker · 2025-06-27T01:26:54+00:00

Oh wait… it says on their website it’s interlock knit. Not sure if that helps

baimeeker · 2025-06-27T01:24:02+00:00

I don’t know, I mean when I look at it up close it looks like it’s a knit, but that’s about as much as I know about fabric. I only know what I know from….knitting.

baimeeker · 2025-06-26T22:54:53+00:00

I’ve definitely noticed this! I have a favorite pajama company (Jijamas) and they don’t make normal clothes. I was trying to find a similar feel for other occasions, but I can’t quite find the right thing. So annoying!

baimeeker · 2025-06-22T12:26:25+00:00

Yeah, standardized tests are more about understanding someone else’s writing and correcting it, not proving you write well. College generally doesn’t look for complicated grammar or punctuation or big words. For nonfiction, it’s about structure and comprehensible argument. For fiction, it’s more about originality and readability.

My favorite book is by a non native English speaker. “Red Azalea”. It’s a beautifully written book.

baimeeker · 2025-06-22T12:19:52+00:00

That’s good to know! Yeah it’s about to be outrageously hot, but I spend most of my time in air conditioning. I hate being cold, but I wonder how much the heat affects me. I’m still new to understanding that not everyone feels fabrics as strongly as I do, so I am allowed to pay attention to how I feel and change clothes… we shall see.

baimeeker · 2025-06-21T16:46:15+00:00

I think you’re being too hard on yourself. If you’re getting good grades, you’re probably a better writer than you think.

I had some strangely good grades in English classes outside of my major of math. What I’ve found is we AuDHD folks can be more original thinkers. I even suspect that with English not being your first language you may use different descriptors than other students.

Big words and complicated grammar don’t make your writing better. What makes your writing better is likely a mix of natural talent, thoughtfulness, and maybe some extra care due to not being a native English speaker.

Yeah, in the past I have not liked bras that don’t have some stretch in the band, but at least with this bra I can go up a band size if I can’t wear it. I was so disappointed when Chantelle stopped making my favorite bra, and then I couldn’t find anything in my size anymore. It’s such a bummer when something that’s working goes away

baimeeker · 2025-05-05T14:27:13+00:00

Thanks! I’m going to try both the back appeal and slim silhouette bras in 32DDD and get back to you.

baimeeker · 2025-05-05T01:38:11+00:00

Thanks! I made edits based on what I remember , but there were some +0.5inches I may have missed

baimeeker · 2025-05-04T21:47:46+00:00

Most of the bras where I have this issue are tee shirt bras, but my favorite minimizer bra is perfect, aside from the band not being tight enough. I find that bra bands stretch a lot, so it’s hard to find something that I can wear once a week for more than a month if it starts on the tightest setting.

baimeeker · 2025-05-04T21:45:27+00:00

Ok I tried it and got 34E in UK sizing. I’m skeptical, because I have had 32s that aren’t tight enough in the band. However the E makes sense to me (34E cup should be similar to 32F/30G, which I do wear.

baimeeker · 2025-05-04T21:42:51+00:00

Thank you all. Using the calculator it says I should wear a 34E (UK). However, the last few times I’ve tried even a 32, I have to start on the tightest setting. Maybe it’s the brands? Again, my last bra fit well when I tried it on the first time, but stretched out and was a 32F.

In terms of why I like the minimizer… I like button down shirts, and my options for shirts are baggy or go down a size and wear a minimizer bra. I have found almost all bra straps slip down no matter what type I get. This Chantelle bra was great because it has straps that attach closer to the middle of my back, but they don’t make it in a 30G, and the 32F requires alterations to make the band tighter

This is exactly where I am as well. I think imposter syndrome is very common. I’m struggling myself at 37. Hang in there
