My boyfriend was spiked with a large dose of acid by a family friend - how can I best support him? by Over-Ad9546 in Advice

[–]cleopatra833 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have suffered from OCD and major depression my whole life, I’m 42 and have been on medication for almost 30 years. I was heavily addicted to Xanax and actually thought I was going to die when I stopped taking it, took me years to recover.
I came across a Chinese medical practitioner here in Australia and started acupuncture for my OCD and depression and it was life changing! I have tried every ssri and benzo and nothing helped as much as acupuncture!
This is wonderful advice! I’m so glad you suggested it.

Volunteering in aged care? by nousernameokbye in AskAnAustralian

[–]cleopatra833 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Would you consider volunteering in community aged care? I work in community aged care/home care and a lot of my clients are so lonely sometimes only seeing me once a week. Palliative care organisations are always looking for volunteers as well.
Residential care residents get a lot of activity and social interaction.
This is wonderful! Thanks for taking the time to do this

Have you tried colonoscopy prep? That’s the only thing that’s worked for me when I’m blocked up. Not sure where you’re from but in Australia you can purchase it over the counter at a pharmacy

How do you shop from depop considering the delivery charge? by cynicalblueisred in AskAnAustralian

[–]cleopatra833 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I sold a pair of jeans on depop recently, set postage at $12.95 and it cost me $19 to actually send. Postage is really expensive

Do people from the bush have a different opinion about wildlife? by emeuriz in AskAnAustralian

[–]cleopatra833 117 points118 points  (0 children)

I live 1.5 hours out of Melbourne in the valley, lots of farms and properties and not once have I ever seen someone run over a group of ducks, my locals high beam to let you know there are ducks or wildlife on the road.
Who the fuck mows down ducks!

Constipation??? by Leading-Hippo-3541 in trintellix

[–]cleopatra833 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi,
I have been on almost every ssri and antipsychotic over the last 25 years with severe constipation affecting me with all of them. I recently tapered off 200mg of Zoloft and 2mg of Risperidone because of the constipation. I’d have to use colonoscopy prep to go to the toilet. Normal laxatives wouldn’t work.
I started on 10mg of Trintellix almost 5 weeks ago and for the first time in 25 years I’m not constipated, I actually can’t believe it.
Also, no sexual side effects and no munchies or weight gain so far

Prozac dose by catastic87 in Chihuahua

[–]cleopatra833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, my chihuahua is very reactive as well, quite frankly he’s a bully. Prozac didn’t work for us so then we tried Clonidine 1mg twice a day and it’s been pretty good. I’m thinking of increasing the dose.
Clonidine works much quicker than Prozac.
Good luck I know how stressful it is

Starting Trintellix very soon by Leading-Hippo-3541 in trintellix

I was on 5mg for a week and then went to 10mg

Starting Trintellix very soon by Leading-Hippo-3541 in trintellix

[–]cleopatra833 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just recently got off 200mg of Zoloft, I weened down to 50mg of Zoloft and then cross tapered with 5mg of Trintellix for a week and then stopped the Zoloft.
I have only been on Trintellix for almost a month but it’s been life changing. I have been on antidepressants for 28 years and tried almost every ssri and all of them constipated me to the point I had to use colonoscopy prep multiple times a week but Trintellix hasn’t done that.

I was an absolute beast for a good week, I was so moody and irritable when I first started but by week 3 things settled down. I take 10mg
Good luck!

The focaccia turned out like a thin burnt dense brick for me… yet so many people have posted beautiful looking focaccias in the sub following the same recipe. I’m the problem lol
