'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I just offered someone a bottle of wine in exchange for a taxidermied bullfrog playing an upright bass.
Are you secretly The Bloggess?
Oh my god, I should e-mail her, or tweet her (I don't know how to tweet at someone, though, so that won't work [I only have a Twitter account for following The Goddamn Batman and Feminist Hulk]) or something!
I SHOULD MAKE T-SHIRTS!
I used to be thin. I gained 100 pounds after I was put on SSRIs. Not one doctor told me weight gain might be a side effect. I'm bitter, all right.
I SHOULD MAKE T-SHIRTS!
Yes. Yes you should.
I gained 100 pounds after I was put on SSRIs.
I gained weight after going on SSRIs. But I also got older, and stopped exercising as much as I did in my 20s. So it's hard to say if I can attribute 5 pounds to SSRIs, or 50.
And in extremely rare instances, sometimes it can cause seizures. That you keep having for the rest of your life, unless you take meds. For the rest of your life.
Wow, seriously? That's awful. I had no idea.
I cut my dose in half because I was so jittery -- shaking hands, racing heart, sweating. Not pleasant. Tomorrow I get to tell the doctor I did, too.

It made me feel like a huge speed freak. Plus I didn't sleep for, like, 5 months. So I stopped it, because I like sleep.
I'm still sleeping, but I have other ... aids to help with that. I was also beginning to feel Murderously Irritable all the time, which was not so pleasant.
Also? I saw it gets prescribed to help people quit smoking, and I don't know how that works, but I'm certainly not tempted to smoke any less.

Oh, yes. I had that, too.
Hah--whereas being murderously irritable about EVERYTHING was a sign to me that I needed some meds to start with. God forbid they'd made me WORSE! (I have not, however, had magic weightloss or new stronger focusing powers or anything. Sadly)
Wellbutrin gave me a 24-hr mania/anxiety attack, so i wasn't on it long enough to judge if it was helping anything else.
Steph, what birthday is taxidermied frogs?
