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.

Hello friends,
I wanted to share that I am in my first job as ui/ux expert and I am the only ux/ui person in the team. I am expected to take care of entire research and design of the product. It becomes very overwhelming as the product that I am working on is in a early phase and I am expected to think about ui as well as ux and also design entire app on my own.There is no user interview or user testing happening as my project manager thinks it can be done after product is launched. Please help!

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience.

All because I couldn’t solve 8 months of payroll issues in a day. 🫠 Good riddance, I’m getting a lawyer.

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?
