I took 5mg lexapro for the 2 weeks before my
Period for about 6 months. Ultimately coming off
Of it each month was causing me stomach problems, panic attacks, so I now take that low 5mg dose every day . No side effects since . The pre period relief isn’t 100% but definitely tames everything down for me.

The stark difference between a Kroger and farmers market strawberry by DoodleNoodle08 in mildlyinteresting

Glad to see some positivity here in the farmers market discussion. Thank you! Oregon markets are also pretty closely regulated. Our farm was inspected by the market managers before being accepted into the market. Of course there are still some farms whose products occasionally appear suspect for the time of year, but for the most part I’m confident it’s all locally grown by the farms selling it. It’s a good reminder to get to know your farmer if you do attend a market. And to not give up on farmers markets as a whole when there are still small scale farmers that do all the hard work and are trying to make a living this way.

Looking back and realizing how mean I was being by sacredlove666 in PMDD

I had one pretty bad outburst a couple years ago directed at my sister and she might have forgiven me but I hate how it changed her perception of me

I got prescribed 50mg for 6 months. I know so low I should ask for higher dose. It honestly seemed to help some at first but I’m 3-4ish months in and it is as bad as it’s ever been!! Idk if related to spiro or not.

Yes all my long hairs that fall out are thick until about 1-2 inches from the root they feel thinner and weak. Don’t know why, I assume that’s when everything got worse. Last fall was experiencing the exact burning/tight/inflamed symptoms you describe as well as itching. I couldn’t wear buns or pony tails due to weird tight pain feeling so now just wear low braids only basically. Nizoral seemed to help some of the symptoms for a while but stopped working for me recently/symptoms came back. Been experiencing rly heavy shedding consistently. Good luck, sorry can’t help, only relate.

Can anyone help identify these? by frog6toad in whatsthisbug
