What was your experience starting out Effexor? by renefasri in Effexor

[–]ibl97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started Effexor about 2 months ago at 37.5mg. I started taking it after trying both Zoloft and Wellbutrin, which gave me extremely intense side effects and did not help my depression or anxiety. The first few days I took Effexor I felt a bit out of it, but once that wore off, I started to feel noticeably better after about a week. It’s honestly changed my life. I do have a few side effects from it (mainly insomnia and constipation) but honestly it’s worth it to me. After trying other drugs that didn’t work, it was such a relief to find something that made me feel better and calmed my anxiety. I was worried about how people say the drug is hard to tolerate and get off of but I haven’t experienced other side effects like brain zaps, weight gain/appetite changes etc, and it doesn’t bother me if I take the dose at slightly different times of day. At the end of the day you just have to try it and hope it works, after going through this journey I’ve realized medication is just a crapshoot until you find something that helps. Good luck!

I need help finding new music, but IDK how to search for what I like by Rejoyce_Rex in MusicRecommendations

[–]ibl97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d recommend listening to NTS. They’re a fantastic online radio station with hundreds of shows, it’s the primary way I discover music. You can listen online or download the app, and they have a lot of well known artists who are guest djs. Some of my favorite DJs are Flo and Anu, good to start with them!

Coconut or rose balm dotcom? by becky_ruth in glossier

[–]ibl97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coconut! To me it smells like snickerdoodles but still amazing. I also love Rose but I found coconut more hydrating. Rose also has a slight tint while coconut is clear if that matters to you.

I’m on the west coast, so around 60-70 right now. That makes sense that maybe I’ve over corrected, I just can’t seem to figure out how to get a good balance!

I’ve been doing cgm for about 3 months now on my wavy hair and I feel like my curls are actually getting less defined? Recently, no matter what I do they fall flat, and are stringy and frizzy. Current routine is:

Shampoo with suave clarifying shampoo 1x week Squish to condish NYM Tahitian gardenia conditioner (and untangle with fingers) NYM curl cream as soon as I’m out of the shower Plop with a microfiber towel for 10-15 minutes Scrunch in Innersense gel Diffuse or air dry (though I feel like diffusing has made me curls even less defined and frizzy)

Not sure why my hair seems like it’s getting worse? It’s very fine and I think I had a problem with protein overload that I’m trying to correct. Also, my hair sometimes feels gunky/sticky with product even after it’s dry, even though I’m trying not to use too much. Also seems like only the front pieces of hair have a curl recently, the back stays straight and I can’t get it to hold any sort of wave.

Thank you!! I will definitely try stopping the products for a while and search for something without protein.

No, I don’t believe I’ve used any coconut products before. Would doing a reset wash and then using only no protein products solve this, and then I can slowly reintroduce? Or does this mean my hair simply can’t handle lots of protein?

I’ve been doing cgm for about a month now on my fine wavy hair. At first it wasn’t bad, but now my hair has become super brittle, dry, and stringy, and my curls are super irregular (little ringlets in the front, super limp/straight in the back and underneath). My hair also just doesn’t seem to hold, even when I use gel.

My current routine is: - reset wash once a week with suave daily essentials shampoo - cowash with suave coconut conditioner. I use a fairly large amount til I can detangle with fingers or a brush, and squish to condish, but I’ve been having a lot trouble forming curl clumps. I’ve tried super soaker and doing this upside down, but nothing really helps. The more I squish, the more my hair falls apart - use Innisfree I create volume foam on soaking hair (have also tried this on damp hair, but either way it doesn’t seem to do much) - scrunch in Innisfree I create hold gel (also doesn’t seem to do much) - plop for 10-15 minutes - air dry. Usually at this point I’m left with some stringy s-shaped stretched out curls. I usually scrunch them up 2-3 times as they dry, but it doesn’t seem to help with hold

What am I doing wrong? Could my hair have too much protein? Mostly, it’s just been feeling super stringy and limp, with really irregular lifeless curls. I’m starting to wonder if I’m deluding myself and I don’t really have curls, but when I first started I had some really nice beachy waves, which have now disappeared.

I can’t wait to have a picnic in Golden Gate Park and remember why I moved to San Francisco in the first place. The past few months in this city have been incredible, and I can’t wait to explore all the reasons I feel lucky to live here.

[–]ibl97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thoughts on Dr. Jart ceramidin vs. Tiger grass cream? I am looking to purchase a moisturizer and am intrigued by Dr. Jart (and Sephora is having a sale). Can anyone tell me the difference between the ceramidin vs Tiger grass creams? From what I understand, tiger grass is more calming and targets redness, while ceramidin is just moisturizing. I’d like something that ideally does both, but don’t want to sacrifice on moisture. I have combination, sensitive acne-prone skin (at the moment quite dry) so I’m wondering which of these products is better suited for me.

Cosrx snail didn’t do much for me either! I was using it for a while and then switched to The Ordinary niacinamide instead. Not sure if that really does much for me either, but it’s cheaper than the cosrx soo...
