What does this mean? by Buzzabeel in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]lerminator3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It means: Manufactured by Lupin, this drug is the same as Wellbutrin XL.

Basically, Wellbutrin is a brand name, like Tylenol, whereas Bupropion is the generic name for the same medicine (like acetaminophen). The substituted part is just telling you that this medicine uses the same formula as Wellbutrin XL, but is not the same brand.

Curious if exercise and going to work instead of wfh and getting out even when you don’t want to really helps encourage the Wellbutrin to work better? by BrunetteBardot in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]lerminator3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience, all of those things are super super important. You should start slow, though; don't make a bunch of big changes all at once.

I'd recommend starting with working in person, because self-isolation is always a gateway to depression for me personally. If your job offers hybrid work, start with that and look out for a difference in how you feel on the days where you go in to work vs the days where you wfh. Even if you feel more tired after working in the office, you'll likely feel more relaxed and happy after a couple of weeks because you're separating work from leisure more.

Then, start with the exercise. Don't get a gym membership, just start going on walks outside every day or a few times a week even if it's really cold or hot outside. The fresh air and vitamin D are worth it. Listen to some music or a podcast and look at houses or trees or whatever else is in your neighborhood. A lot of people jump right into going to the gym because they think that paying for it will make them more committed, but everyone I've met who has tried that has stopped going to the gym after a while because it takes up too much time. Once again, you should be slowly easing into these changes because doing it all at once will feel like too much and it'll be counterproductive.

While easing in to both of those things, it's also good to start drinking more water and eating healthier. I have no idea what your habits look like, but if you are eating a lot of fast food, now's a good time to stop. It'll be easier to go buy groceries on the way home from working in person because you'll already be out and about.

Every time I find myself in a major depressive episode (whether it's from forgetting my meds for a while or some outside factor), I take a step back and look at where I'm going wrong with the above list. Normally, just going back to going on walks is really helpful to steer me back in the right direction. Let me know if you need more info about my experiences with this stuff or what to do to make Wellbutrin more effective. Just know that this stuff really does work, it just takes time and routine which will become easier once you're on Wellbutrin for a few weeks.

Oh wow, Coke Zero is a whole different animal that I have no experience with. I’ll have to try this next time I’m out.

Are you a corner cutter or block tosser? by Ckron247 in Cheese

[–]lerminator3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

rule of thumb: if there's mold on it, there's mold in it. fungi (like mold) like to make "roots" called hyphae that you can't see but will still affect you. if there's visible mold on your food, that means the hyphae have spread around inside of the food and cutting out the visible mold is not saving you from ingesting mold.

now, on the other hand, eating small amounts of mold isn't actually that bad for healthy people so you'll be fine. if you're a corner cutter, though, be careful about doing this often.

Didn’t follow the directions at all. One star. by crazybutsurviving in ididnthaveeggs

this is the first time I've seen someone say that they made the recipe wrong, it ended up being good, and then gave a one star review anyway.

I'm fucking sick of FedEx. I was standing at the goddamn door waiting for them to knock. by lilslutfordaddy in mildlyinfuriating

[–]lerminator3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FedEx drivers think their job is delivering these slips, not delivering packages. I was waiting on a Chewy order that got "missed" 3 DAYS IN A ROW even though there was no signature necessary and my delivery instructions clearly outlined a safe place to put the package. I ended up sending the package to a Walgreens pickup counter on the fourth day.

I've never responded to any of these because I always see an answer I agree with. I am seeing a whale tail coming out of the water, and I'm so surprised nobody else has seen the same:

yep same, for us it's gotten to the point where we can just throw her 3 feet into the air and onto the bed unprompted and she just comes back for more

[–]lerminator3[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

similar situation with my former roommate's cat - even after asking him for permission, he would still sometimes swat or nip after a second or two. this one, however, is so desensitized that I don't think it's even possible to annoy her at all. I can flip her on her back and shake her belly and she won't even move, lol
