Yes, I love it. I've been on it for several years and it's just super.

Good to know!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm not really stress eating the refined sugars all that much. More the potato, bread, and cheese food groups. Mac and cheese, cheese pizza, various cheese-based spreads on crackers. Yummy, if not nutritionally complete. And great with wine. Oh, hey, that's fruit, isn't it?

Hee.

It actually stops ALL my compulsive eating, not just sweets. I think the lack of blood sugar bounce has a lot to do with how I respond to stress.

I used the Nuva ring before I was pregnant, and preferred it infinitely to the pill. Easier to remember to use & much lower side effects.

[edited to clarify that I did not get pregnant while ON Nuva ring. It was just the last BC I was on before going off it entirely to get pregnant.]

Yeah, this is why my doc recommended it. I had a terrible time on the pill (worst side effect? lowered sex drive) last time I was on it which was ...many years ago.

That will definitely increase your sex drive.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I should add that Ativan has been helpful for me; I know other Buffistas have taken it, and I think it's been helpful for them, too.

Ativan probably saved my life when I was going through the divorce. It was a godsend for me. (Valium was also nice, but the Ativan was much more useful, since I needed to be fully-functional more often than not.)

Huh. I should look into the Nuva ring.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

um ... I was on Zoloft for six months or so after I had my stroke; I was badly depressed and, seemingly, it's good for your brain. It helped.

Ativan and Zoloft. I'll look them up--thanks!

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

I liked the Nuva ring. I had mildly stronger cramps and sore boobs than with the pill, but it was nice to put in and then pretty much forget about it.
