Cipra REALLY helped me. I always took it in the morning (was easier for me to remember). Now have been off it for about 10 months.

I’m clearly not a doctor but when my Wellbutrin was no longer as effective as it had been I asked to switch and was switched to lexapro (form of Cipralex) and it was awful, I stopped taking it within a few weeks. Sharing this story with a friend and she had taken it at one point and had a similar experience.

I loved escitalopram but it made my jaw tight and clenched and made me lose hair. It works initially then stops.

There is a gene insight test which tells you which anti-depressants are likely to work best for you. Instead of wasting time on trial-and-error, consider doing the test. In my case, Wellbutrin didn’t work and the test revealed that. I tolerate Pristiq and Sertraline better

Thanks ... what’s the name of the test?

Hi! I’m moving to LA from Chicago, base 90k - no debt. I live in a 1BD rn and have been browsing the market in LA to get an idea of rent. I’m mainly looking west of DTLA (ktown, la brea, pico rob, etc)it’s seeming like a 1BD may be out of reach. I’m not looking to pay more than $1800/mo. Any suggestions on neighborhoods I should consider? I’d like to be near grocery, restaurants, and would need parking. I enjoy being outdoors and would look to go on hikes/runs in my free time if that helps. TIA!

Has anyone dealt with parents that never listens to what you actually need? All I need is support and empathy, but they always hand me oranges when I ask (specifically for apples). They think they are doing their best to care for me. But when I explain that I’m not happy at work and all they do is shame me for not being strong or smart enough for it. They ignore me when I keep coming out to them as gay (had to do it multiple times), and still keeping asking me to get a bf. I’m so bottled and mad

Really not sure how to handle it aside from counseling but that isn’t getting me anywhere fast. Thoughts?

I really feel like I’ve been dealt a really bad hand in my life. It feels like no one gives me a chance. Whether it’s a job I know I’m qualified for, or someone I’m interested in. Even things that appear to be good at first end up sucking. I know I should be grateful for what I have and that so many others are less fortunate. But I still can’t help but think that for a person in my position, given the opportunities that I was given, I am just a complete failure and nowhere near what I could be.
