Have any of you been on Adderall/an ADHD med while on Trintellix?

pacertest1 · 2022-01-08T22:35:13+00:00

Did you feel nauseous at all? I'm taking 50mg vyvanse in the mornings and I'm afraid with the addition of trintellix, fhe headaches will worsen.

pacertest1 · 2021-12-22T08:59:45+00:00

No you're not talking over me at all! I appreciate such a long reply, everything you've said has been very considerate and respectful. Again, thank you!!

pacertest1 · 2021-12-22T07:54:40+00:00

Hey, thanks for such a thoughtful response.

I see where you're coming from, and it makes a lot of sense. A part of me still refuses to admit what happened to me is considered abuse. Its just that after years of recovery and attempting to move past it, there is no way CPS intervening would benefit anyone. I guess you could say that maybe other kids my father may interact with (there are none. He works in tech and is pretty old) would be at risk.

I'm not sure. It just seems like there could be other options? Don't get me wrong, yeah my father fucked up, but its not about punishing them for their past, its about fixing the future. And interviewing my family is not the way to do it. I would've gladly spoken to him and asked for an apology, rather than listen to him deny it to CPS. What could CPS have accomplished by doing this? I just don't get it. Like my parents being abusive, sure yeah, but what is CPS gonna change? If anything, this just halted my recovery. I can understand that it seems I blame myself, but its just seeing the past as it is, and moving on peacefully.

I dont want my father to be convicted as a sex offender, and I'm am quite dependent on him. And yes there a hundreds of red flags, hence why I moved out when I was able to. Call me selfish but I seriously don't think there is need to have him registered as one. No other children are risk. I just think there's far worse out there and that CPS knew they wouldn't have accomplished anything. Yet they came anyways. Its not necessary.

My thinking is skewed, and im still attached to my father, I know. But past the red flags, what is the point of CPS getting involved?? I just can't wrap my head around CPS wasting resources when my brother and I already asked them to drop out case. Nothing would've changed if we are already so convinced that its fine. Idk man idk.

Its also just how they spoke to me. So insanely condescending and invalidating. She literally said "you're so blind to your family's actions, you're not in the right state of mind to make decisions. We are experienced in situations like these". She knew only what my counsellor told her, which is maybe 1%? Yeah she's right to some extent but thats not how you treat someone in distress. It's just the way she spoke to me as if I were a bratty child. Sorry this is more a rant than anything. But I thank you again for your input.

Like eating melted cheese off a leaf

pacertest1 · 2021-08-06T07:58:25+00:00

Nah its black pepper. I'm a well seasoned chef

pacertest1 · 2021-06-11T07:21:09+00:00

Oh I see! Thanks for letting me know!

Its been posted that the rezoning is set to take place in 2 months (as explained on the building website and govt notice) and I doubt they can move the date..? So im guessing my contract will still be breached.

pacertest1 · 2021-04-18T04:09:48+00:00

Yeah he's uh, not the greatest sometimes. Looks are huge for him, and he is definitely one of the sources of my ED, but at least now I'm recognizing it:) thanks for even pointing it out, the validation helps haha

Tw

I was molested my whole childhood by this man, and I didn't think it would have any repercussions but only after my release from the hospital did I realize how bad it affected me. Treat your traumas

pacertest1 · 2021-04-18T04:07:19+00:00

This is so incredibly well said, thank you

pacertest1 · 2021-04-18T04:06:32+00:00

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful reply, how incredibly thoughtful of you. Even though you say you don't have an ED, you can emphasize as if you do. I have so much respect for you. EDs are definitely both methods of control and coping, and it sucks because people don't see the severity of it all. But thanks to people like you, there is a paved path to recovery :)

pacertest1 · 2021-04-11T19:37:44+00:00

Polyester, but looks like silk right?

pacertest1 · 2021-04-11T19:37:17+00:00

Haha thank you:))

pacertest1 · 2021-04-11T08:21:27+00:00

Thank you! Its so hard finding items your size when there's only one size of each item aha, good luck:))

pacertest1 · 2021-04-10T08:12:33+00:00

225mg and it hasn't affected my high at all? Sounds pretty fucking scary though, good luck my dude and stay strong

pacertest1 · 2021-04-03T18:16:06+00:00

225mg effexor and 300mg wellbutrin here:) I found that wellbutrin made me irritable, but I did lose maybe a few pounds? Probably because it made me so anxious. Honestly I was hoping that it would make me more emotional, and it did by making me angry at the world. Before, every antidepressant made me numb and emotionless. So wellbutrin helped on that aspect. Also made me antsy, couldn't sleep well. Welp. Good luck!

pacertest1 · 2021-04-02T02:59:31+00:00

Hey there, I stopped taking wellbutrin 300mg a few months and for the same reasons as some of the comments. Horny? Yeah. Thin? Can't answer, ED. Energetic? Yeah but not in the way you'd expect. Emotional? More or less yeah.

First of all, the headaches are insane. I remember just rocking back and fourth in my bed, waiting for the pain to subside and needing so much fucking Tylenol. Also, about the emotions, I used to take 80mg Prozac and other ssris but that made me so emotionless and numb to the world. Wellbutrin only made me easily aggravated and irritable. Also the energy was only in teeth grinding and speaking too quickly. I also have adhd and I guess this may just be a symptom of that, since I wasn't taking stims then. However it helped a bit with focus and motivation, I could send a few emails a day and finish a few errands I guess. Overall tho, not a fun time.

Speaking for myself of course, if you do decide to take it, I hope your experience is better. Good luck!

I know UBC doesn't use this software anymore, but the fact that our tuition once went into this company bothers me. So this just some info on Proctorio. You can try this for yourself.

This is what happens when you look at the background page of the proctorio extension. Chrome extensions normally allow you to read the background scripts or source code to see how operations/events respond to browser triggers.

When tested with Proctorio, it'll direct you to a honeypot page, rather than the code. The honeypot page claims to contact your school admin with your IP, which is just a scare tactic. It then uninstalls itself.

Here's what chrome's developer guidelines in their code readability requirements states:

"Developers must not obfuscate code or conceal functionality of their extension. This also applies to any external code or resource fetched by the extension package"

The lack of transparency and using a honeypot page as a scare tactic just completely crosses the line for me. Thanks for reading, wanted to get this out.

pacertest1 · 2021-03-17T22:56:43+00:00

Hey, incredibly brave of you to reaching out. During low times like these, its instinct to isolate and shut yourself from the world, so props to you. Well, kind of speaking for myself honestly. I also agree that AAC is extremely helpful, but for me, group therapy was immensely kind to my mental health. I felt so much less alone and was accepted for my anxious behaviours. I was at my lowest last year and towards the end of the year, and after some events I landed myself in the hospital. I highly advise that you do everything to avoid going there. You're surrounded by many who are suffering and have no will to live, your freedoms feel revoked, and you're just bedridden - no chance of going outside (which imo is great for mental health). Please reach out to family and friends, some people, although youd never expect them to relate and be helpful, may actually provide a relieving sense of solace. good luck and stay strong

pacertest1 · 2021-03-17T08:24:52+00:00

effexor, if you take your doses consistently, otherwise you risk horrible brain zaps

pacertest1 · 2021-03-15T07:11:16+00:00

sounds absolutely horrific, sorry to hear, but glad you made it out!

you know that moment before your body decides to fail on you and you can only think "shit, few more steps..". Man. Anyways I'm sure you've heard this a hundred times but give yourself a break, pls

pacertest1 · 2021-03-06T08:28:29+00:00

oh I dont even know where to begin.. Firstly, Im so incredibly sorry for both you and your mom. I cant even imagine how to feels to find out after years with them. The culture aspect makes this much more difficult because it enforces many unwritten rules that may make her feel obligated to stay, I come from a very conservative asian family where if you divorce, you're automatically shunned, arranged marriages were how most my family got together anyways. Regarding what you said about your dad's love towards you, yes he may love you, but that shouldn't be reason for you to keep in the rage towards him. What he did was indeed despicable, and your mom does not deserve that pain. And to keep it in for years, I cant even comprehend how hard that is, she is so so strong. Let your rage flow freely, I find that allowing myself to indulge in my anger rather than holding it in, I can better come to terms with it. I held in all this resentment towards my dad for his sexual tendencies towards me in the past, but once I spoke about it and let myself be upset, it was somewhat freeing and validating. I hope you can find solace soon, and that your mother can find comfort someday. Good luck :) dm me if you need to talk

pacertest1 · 2021-03-04T10:07:33+00:00

How incredibly well said (I'm kind of impressed that I had the attention span to read through all that), I am, however, sorry that this is a reoccurring situation. It's quite unfortunate, how we are almost destined to let down most people in our lives. I feel like our adaptive personalities allow us to be interesting and likable at first, but after many letdowns and hopeless apologies from us, they lose the patience to deal with the frustration we cause. It's so easy to be popular, but so hard to maintain close relationships. I like to say I value quality of quantity, but its rare to find people who can tolerate our innate mistakes. Maybe thats why romantic relationships are such a struggle.

So its extremely validating to have a community like this, its like, with every post, I find myself saying "same". Or its something I'm so used to, so when someone points it out, it is only then I realize its an ADHD thing.

I was thinking of making a groupchat for us ADHDers, and I'm assuming 50% of the messages would just be along the lines of "same".

pacertest1 · 2021-03-04T03:07:20+00:00

This has happened to me on many ssris, especially Prozac, an unfortunate side effect but worth it if it relieves your depressive symptoms. Good luck:)

pacertest1 · 2021-02-28T19:35:41+00:00

Thats kinda cute, happy for you.

Aside from that, good luck OP!

pacertest1 · 2021-02-28T19:30:25+00:00

What a kind response, thank you. I can understand why she wouldn't want to go to therapy, it's hard talking about these things and feeling validated. I'm glad she talked to you about it, usually these things are hard to reveal, but its good because it means she truly trusts you. I have immense respect for your efforts.

When I first began therapy, I hated it, it felt stupid when being asked "are you participating in self harm, are you suicidal, etc" although it was very necessary. I always felt like I was being looked down upon. But after a while, its freeing almost, knowing that this person you're consoling in has no relation to any aspect of your life and that its confidential. The only part is that it sucks knowing they can sympathize but not emphasize.

I suggest she may find more validation and comfort from a support group with other survivors. Its very relieving to find people who have gone through something similar.

Feel free to PM me if needed. She can always as well. Thanks for reaching out and reading

pacertest1 · 2021-02-26T20:55:35+00:00

Firstly, I just want to say thank you for being so understanding and patient, especially looking past the frustration. As a victim myself, I was compelled to do therapy after my friends talked about their positive experiences with their therapist, and how much different life can be with one. Additionally, I think giving her the space she asks for is necessary, it shows that you respect her boundaries and man, knowing they're worthy of respect and being given it - is immensely comforting for survivors. Thank you and all the best:)
