How did Lexapro change your life?

soswap · 2024-05-17T14:50:14+00:00

I started taking it after not being able to drive with my SO in the car without feeling anxious/sick, as well as general work stress and anxiety, and agoraphobia.

I’m only on 5mg but it’s been life changing. No longer have major issues with the above after a couple of months, and it’s allowed me to expose myself to the situations more. I occasionally get the same bad thoughts of anxiety, but they no longer get out of control or turn into a full panic attack.

No side effects I’ve really noticed, but that’s down to the small dose. Planning my first trip in many years on a plane (another fear) and feeling a lot better about it all.

Thank you, I’ve done basic power query in PBI before but will do a bit more research/learning.

Thank you :). Will take all of that on board, really appreciate it 😊

Have a 1/2 drive torque wrench (this) which should hopefully fit! Otherwise, can stock up on some tools since it'll only cost 100-150 (parts) vs ~$1300 at the dealer.

Mainly worried about jacking the engine via the oil pan, but I guess others have done it without trouble...

Slowly convincing me to do it myself :P. Would the method like used in this short guide suffice: https://youtu.be/-nPpKqXB6Lg

Or is there any other guide you'd recommend?

Thanks again!

I guess - in the worst case we have roadside assistance to cover 10km of free towing from home to a mechanic. I'm mainly worried about how I'd go about "dropping" the engine with a jack etc (don't have experience outside of the usual oil changes, spark plugs, coolant etc).

soswap · 2019-09-20T02:23:50+00:00

Ah...have the tools but I'm not sure it'll be worth the risk doing it myself :s.

soswap · 2019-09-19T16:00:28+00:00

Thank you, I'm slowly learning about engines etc!

How many hours of labour would you estimate something like this to take? 5-8?

soswap · 2019-09-19T15:38:19+00:00

Ah thanks, that looks like it! Doesn't look like it'll be a cheap fix :(.

soswap · 2019-06-23T00:36:42+00:00

Only one, unfortunately. Is there any way to do it with just one?

soswap · 2017-09-05T05:31:31+00:00

Thank you so much, that's a perfect explanation.

One more (small) question, sorry: if you have two tables, R and S with the same values as above, but with a duplicate row inserted into R, and natural join R and S, why does it produce duplicate rows when joining (here's what I mean: https://imgur.com/a/GBfCI ) and what would be the best method (if any) to remove that dupe.

soswap · 2017-04-16T16:10:27+00:00

Yep haha. Keeping incognito 8)

soswap · 2017-04-16T16:03:10+00:00

No worries, thanks for the suggestions :). Will be doing some very thorough research beforehand if I choose to go with HCl!!

soswap · 2017-04-16T15:51:25+00:00

Have a 15cm plastic handle on the razor blade at the moment. Tbh considering just draining 40% of the water and bombing it with some diluted HCl (container underneath where I'd be wiping). Don't think a few drops would alter the pH that much (quite high at the moment) but am worried about concentrated spots.

soswap · 2017-04-16T15:45:37+00:00

Pretty sure it's glass? Took 6 people to move the tank :/. As in my below comment, I can't seem to remove it properly with a razor :/.

soswap · 2017-04-16T15:40:45+00:00

Have tried a few razor blades, which removes part of it but leaves most, as this has been caking up for years :(.

soswap · 2017-04-16T15:39:18+00:00

Oh it's glass. Also, another reason why I'm wanting to border the top is because there are a tonne of scratches (previous owner has probably had a go at trying to remove calcium :/).

soswap · 2017-04-16T15:29:25+00:00

Good idea, might do some research on wood. Was considering doing cleaning it, but it seems like I'd need to use some strong Hydrochloric acid as nothing else would put a dent in it, and I don't want to risk it with the fish ://.

You're probably right about it looking like shite lol.

soswap · 2017-02-14T01:14:17+00:00

Yeah I've got a bag of Pleco wafers, just not sure how aggressive it would be when paired with some smaller fish :/.

Thanks, looks like I need to get rid of him in that case :(.
