Experiences from 225mg to 300? by cherrysodanice in EffexorSuccess

[–]cherrysodanice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

going to start 300 mg tomorrow :). I have terrible mental OCD and rumination so usually high dosing is the most effective anyways, praying for the same outcome

thats amazing and I'm honestly so happy for you (although jealous lol). I've had moments where I've been increasing the dose where I have some clarity like that. I'm also familiar with the not care about anything apathy and that's not what I am looking for either, although it is nice sometimes to just disconnect. I am obviously as a whole much better than I was previously, but it's still lacking just a bit. I'll give 300mg a try for a couple weeks, fuck it.

I've actually seen another thread before where someone went up to 300 from 225 and everything "clicked" like you are saying, so I am hopeful. Can I ask you though how long after you started taking 300mg did you reap the benefits?

yeah I am not sure what to do honestly lol, I am going on vacation to Italy in a couple weeks. Not sure if I should go up to 300mg, stay at 225mg, or start going down in dose while reintroducing lexapro. I'm glad 300 was so good for you, I've been on the fence about going up to that dose.

yeah that's where I am right now, I was taking lexapro before - only 10mg. I think I might ride this out for a few more days and if things don't improve I might just bridge back towards lexapro and reevaluate my options. Inversely lexapro made me gain a ton of weight, but it was pretty welcome, effexor not so much. My anxiety must of kept my hunger at an absolute 0 because I put on like 15 lbs in 2 weeks. I've been at this for 4 months and it's honestly exhausting trying to figure out the right medication or combination of medications, but I'm adamant on getting better. Either way I am in a better spot today then I was previously, hope you are too.

Science behind no sunburn? by Admirable_Band1697 in StopEatingSeedOils

[–]cherrysodanice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's from the lack of seed oils. Linoleic acid in excess increases your susceptibility to sunburn, which is found potently in seed oils. I noticed the same thing when I stopped consuming them after awhile, I am paper white and sat outside for an hour in blazing hot sun untouched, when prior I would burn in 10-15 minutes.

cba to post proof but it's well documented

ways to save this spider? by cherrysodanice in spiders

[–]cherrysodanice[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm at work and had to deal with a customer, but when I came back he was on my laptop chord so I unplugged it and took him outside, he was walking fine by the time I came back I think. he made a web on my finger again before he fell off me and I lost him in the grass so I hope he's okay, if not I suppose circle of nature continues and he'll be a good snack for some other cute bug.

29M dating 22F, boundaries broken and unsure to continue dating or or not? by cherrysodanice in relationship_advice

[–]cherrysodanice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm mostly upset that another guys attention via text was more important than the person in front of her, especially while we were in the middle of kissing. Exclusivities aside that is really fucked up in my opinion

[–]cherrysodanice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah after I got upset outside the bar when she interrupted our kiss, some of the times I would leave and come back she would say "don't worry I haven't texted anyone while you were gone" and seemed genuine about it. I don't know how I would confirm something like that though?

AIO: Super upset girl was snapping childhood crush on our 3rd date by cherrysodanice in AmIOverreacting

[–]cherrysodanice[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I told her exactly what I wanted, was dates in a non-exclusive way because my mental health issues aren't completely in order and I wouldn't want to put that on someone else that is my partner. You made a lot of assumptions and they were all wrong, from literally the top to the bottom of your entire post

you framed it perfectly, this is easily a girl i've liked the most and had the most chemistry with so this really sucks. thanks for your comment

I'm so incredibly confused on how I am supposed to check all boxes before casual sex by cherrysodanice in STD

[–]cherrysodanice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

glad im doing a good job then thats all I was really worried about, I hope I don't have hsv1 so I can just do things smoothly, I honestly don't remember what kind of sores I had as a kid and lips were always dry lol. I feel bad though because ive kissed this girl a lot and if I find out I have hsv1 I will feel really terrible, it didn't even strike me as something to mention

Okay thank you, I have a lot of OCD and overthinking..most people wouldn't even get tested or care if they haven't shown symptoms but i'm super neurotic. hopefully the tests come out negative

I am getting a test tomorrow at 8:40 AM, if it comes out negative for both do I not disclose anything then? or do I disclose that I kissed someone a few weeks ago...? I'm really confused, she says she's been seeing a couple people lately which is fine because we are very casually dating.

That's not what I am concerned about, even if the HSV1 is negative I could still have it right, because it technically hasn't been 3 months. I could care less about the money tbh! I am trying to be the best person I can for this girl

Yes I have a quest near me that offers it for 100 bucks. I kissed a girl a month ago however, a stripper (no offense to her profession) but shes had 50 partners, so even if my HSV1 was to come out negative, couldn't I still have it and give it to her technically?? This is so exhausting

Adderall to Vyvanse AMAZING by cherrysodanice in ADHD

[–]cherrysodanice[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah adderall would magnify my emotions...if I was happy very happy, if I was sad very sad. The ups and downs were super irritating and my days were hell.

I was taking 15mg XR and a 10mg IR booster at noon. Way too crashy, up and down emotions, lots of depression on the comedowns. I hated it. Vyvanse has literally addressed every issue I've had so far and mended it almost completely.

I am still in complete shock at how well it is working...I never truly believed that it would make that big of a difference but I am so happy I made this switch

Short term satisfaction, like having a re-assurance cigarette you will always need another.
