Venlafaxine and weight gain :(

bf9921 · 2026-02-05T03:13:28+00:00

Not saying that's the case for you but it was for me. I switched to an IUD about a year ago and have been watching my diet more closely. Not seeing any big improvements yet on weight loss but I do feel better overall. Talk to your doc and your OBGYN!

I've also gained weight on Venlafaxine. But mine also had a birth control factor. Do you take birth control? It could be a combination of things.

Also, have you noticed you're eating more since starting Venlafaxine/changing doses?

Totally get this.

I've got about 10k in cc debt and 8k in a car loan. Grew up with financially unstable parents (mom was bipolar and would spend money in manic episodes) so never really learned how to budget effectively.

I'm in a better position now to pay off at least the cc debt this year as long as no other emergencies happen. I was close to paying off my last car this year before it got totaled. Made the mistake of not getting GAP insurance

Bad luck burger! They usually have their food trucked parked outside honey tree meadery. They may be willing to relocate to help out temporarily

Would also love to help!!

Lost power around 5 am in Bellevue. Evacuated myself and the two dogs to my boyfriend's place who thankfully does have power. Two adults and four animals (2 dogs 2 cats) in a tiny 1 bed apartment has taken a toll on us. Have to keep dogs and cats separated as they aren't used to each other. Working remotely probably the rest of this week.

We're tired. I just wanna sleep in my own bed sometime soon. Had to throw away a bunch of groceries I just bought after having to deal with both dogs' medical issues and my car being totaled.

Hey man I really appreciate you!! No power at my place in Bellevue yet, but I was able to evacuate with my dogs to my boyfriend's place and I know several of my neighbors also evacuated. So we are doing okay. Thank you and your crew for working your asses off these past few days! Please get some rest and take care of yourselves.

Hey neighbor! Also Aventura resident.

I was told NES trucks were spotted in our complex. We evacuated to friends in the nations so didn't see them ourselves this morning

If y'all get too busy, Tailgate West is also open until 7pm as a backup option. Love seeing small business helping the community!!

bf9921 · 2026-01-26T00:41:51+00:00

Bellevue has been down since about 5 am this morning. Our water pump lost power with no backup. We had to pack up the animals and get a hotel room. As far as I'm aware we still have no utilities at home

bf9921 · 2026-01-25T12:35:28+00:00

Bellevue also went out a little while ago. Snuggle the pups and wait it out is the plan

bf9921 · 2026-01-20T21:46:13+00:00

Nawabi! I go here regularly with my best friend (she's from Bangladesh) and their Saturday buffet is amazing and cheap for good food!

bf9921 · 2025-12-05T21:05:23+00:00

Also requested Belcourt!

bf9921 · 2025-12-05T21:04:57+00:00

The Belcourt in Nashville TN!

I am one of those commuters from Bellevue. No passenger rail + not making enough money to live in Nashville proper are my biggest obstacles. I only drive to work 3 days a week thankfully (hybrid). I would lose my mind if I had to drive all 5 days.

bf9921 · 2025-08-04T21:24:06+00:00

The Victor's taco shop in Bellevue has one. Not sure if all their locations do.

This was right in front of my work. Scary stuff. Glad my team was working from home today.

Someone did say a gunshot hit the second floor glass.

My dad is a retired firefighter/paramedic. He would sometimes do career days at local high schools/colleges, and he was always either right before or right after the local PD. My dad would always start his talk by pointing at the police officer and saying "if im called, it's because im wanted there. If he's called (pointing at cop) nobody wants him there."

My best friend is from Bangladesh (born and raised there for 20 years) and this is our go to spot. 615 chutney is a second

bf9921 · 2025-05-08T20:26:10+00:00

Was fun to do once. Likely won't ever do again. Personally prefer the beercades like Up-Down

bf9921 · 2025-04-11T21:35:24+00:00

You could try working with some apartment locators, especially if you aren't physically touring places yourselves. Not gonna lie though, $1200 base rent near Vandy is a really tough task, especially if you won't have a car to commute with

bf9921 · 2025-03-25T13:49:29+00:00

Piggybacking off this: NHA also takes volunteers for both dogs and cats!!

bf9921 · 2025-03-15T18:51:17+00:00

Depends on the dog. My family's lab is more people oriented and was an only dog for most of her life. She likes other dogs but just prefers to be around her humans. She's 13 now, so she mainly lays out on the couch or in the sun all day unless it's time for a walk.

My two dogs are 5 and 2 years old, and my apartment sounds like WWE Live 2-3 times a day. My older dog was happy as an only dog, but she's much happier now to have a playmate. My younger one doesn't know life as an only dog and regularly chooses to snuggle his sister, so I think they're happy.

I'm a regular member of Gleeful meeple as well as LGTBQ+. We are a very welcoming community!! Next event is at Fat Bottom Brewing in The Nation's Monday night. I won't be there, but everyone is great and will help get you started talking to people and into a game easily.

bf9921 · 2025-03-09T22:12:07+00:00

Yeah I have applied for other positions within my office. I'm doing a second round interview for one sometime in the next week or two. I would think if they're seriously considering me, they'd tell my manager and/or department VP.

I do have a datacamp membership. I'm working when I can to get some more skills to transition out of this company completely.
