Update-it literally made more depressed and lethargic. Switched to zoloft

That's so interesting! I couldn't stay awake to save my life on Zoloft. I'm wired on Wellbutrin.

The mind is a fickle thing.

Most people really like it and it’s safe. I took it for stress. And Work wise it calmed me down and I felt good to get through crazy days without getting hyped up or overwhelmed. Down side - I stopped caring about everything else in life and went from a Type A person on top of things to someone who moved slower, didn’t care about the gym or doing anything like cleaning, shopping etc. It bothered my husband a lot and I ended up stopping.

My SO has been on it for years and would recommend it.

It works well for a lot of people, esp since it doesn’t have negative sides effects of SSRIs. Wasn’t for me though. Made me start to feel unstable and it triggered a relative to have a major bipolar episode for the first time ever. Prob a genetics thing.

Zoloft FTW. Amazing and I’m sad I waited so long.

And it's great if you are trying to quit smoking too.

I’ve heard positive things from others, but it unfortunately gave me terrible insomnia. Didn’t sleep for around 3-4 days.

Recommend a cheek swab genetics test to take some of the guesswork out of the medication process. Your doctor can administer and send to the labs.

For anyone else looking for feedback, Wellbutrin has changed my life. I'm on it for my ADHD, and it honestly resolved lingering depression I had. I feel alert, focused, and I even sleep better. Combined with my Cymbalta, I feel the most human I've ever felt. I can't believe it's taken me this long to start it.

Not good not safe nothing manmade is.

It helped with depression/adhd for a while, then I realized it was gradually loosing effectiveness and causing crazy alcohol cravings end of day. Took a long time to realize the meds were causing it. Just something to watch out for.

When I negotiated my comp, all my discussions were around me being a junior and I only accepted my comp for that reason (would not have accepted if I was step above junior since it was low). Negotiations happened with HR, but my offer letter and documents never mention junior (but I have proof from HR saying I am a junior). How do I approach this with my boss as I’m not sure she’s aware I’m actually technically a junior? Revolving around asking for a move up + raise

Hi all, I’m currently a solution architect with 1yoe and two bachelors degrees. I also hold two cloud certifications and make 60k a year.

Thanks!

I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know.
