Sounds like you’re talking about those osirises with the horrible colors

Probably. I mean hey, not getting serotonin syndrome is pretty cool. Wouldn’t wish that on anybody

I mean if you drink a lot a lot, I probably wouldn’t cold turkey it. On wellbutrin, I always noticed that one beer was fine, but if I went past that it got really nasty. I’ve heard that the hangover thing gets better over time, but I’m trying not to drink anymore so I won’t have anything on that. I’d say give it a shot, but have some ibuprofen on hand in case it goes wrong.

Yeah, if you feel overstimulated and anxious, it’s probably the wellbutrin. Although not all SSRIs work for everybody. I don’t really know why they’re starting you on both at the same time.

I’m doing pretty good! Really need to move out of my ex’s. You buying me a coffee for tomorrow was a nice pick me up. I got put back on zoloft (think I said that in the mutual aid post) and that has been really great. Makes me pretty much who I remember myself being without the depression, and I think it’ll be easier not to drink now that I’m on it. 8 months is really cool, I’m glad you’ve been able to get there. Alcohol is truly the shittiest thing I’ve ever been addicted to. Stim cravings are super hard too though. Never got addicted to any stimulants, but still get random extremely strong cravings for them even after extremely long periods of sobriety from them. So I’m glad you don’t really have a way to get it right now. I mean I like being totally broke some days because it helps me not drink.

That job is so cool. I’m really glad you’re getting caught up on finances. It makes such a big difference in stress levels to start getting by again. I really love that for you.

No clue unfortunately, I just noticed

I don’t scroll anywhere else, everybody else is depressing

Seratonin syndrome is usually a pretty obvious thing, as someone who has gotten it multiple times. Uncontrollable shaking, hypertension, shortness of breath, extreme anxiety, and I have schizophrenia so I can’t gauge this, but visual and auditory hallucinations can also come with it. It’s pretty hardcore

Everybody has pretty much said what I was going to say about the meds. Here’s a bunch of stuff to avoid.

Avoid caffeine like the fucking plague for at least your first few days. Caffeine made me sick af on Wellbutrin at the start. It will make every side effect of Wellbutrin worse.

Avoid alcohol at the start. Wellbutrin makes the hangover absolutely unbearable off anything more than 1 beer. Lexapro has this same effect so I’ve heard.

Also DM cough syrup. You can’t take that as long as you’re on Lexapro. Wellbutrin just makes it way stronger so that’s safe enough but probably not something you want. Cough medicine often contains an SSRI called DXM in it. Mixing two SSRIs is how you end up with what is known as serotonin poisoning. It is deeply unpleasant and potentially fatal if left untreated.

All that being said, I also had a headache the first day I took Wellbutrin, but it went away the next day. However, I discontinued Wellbutrin because of the side effects. I am autistic though, and get easily overwhelmed by stimulants. If you have ADHD, it may work better for you. I switched over to an SSRI (the group Lexapro is in) and that has done more than pretty much anything.

Damn they didn’t close at 12:30, kinda ruined the post

Mao saving me from embarrassment when I can’t

I’m doing pretty great! I got put back on Zoloft this week and that has been excellent so far. I just feel a helluva lot happier, I’ve been slowly working on the horrible depression den that is my room. As always, I’m on the Pokemon Showdown grind. I need to get back into reading.

You know, I didn’t notice that immediately but that’s weird af. Maybe they include piss in scat?

I swear to God, all y’all in the comments, I’m the type of autistic that can’t understand sarcasm and I’m being dragged over coals right now.

Just asked my millennial room mate about socks. I’m a zoomer and somehow this lines up with our household. I didn’t know long socks were a fashion thing, they’re just more comfy to me

That’s the plan 8)
