I am glad Wellbutrin helped you, bon!

Glowing Angler Fish Tricycles

Oh my lord, I need one of those. We have this on the bedside table: [link] but it isn't even remotely as cool as a tricycle.

I've had only good experiences with Wellbutrin as well. Plus for me it worked as an aphrodisiac.

tommyrot, the Makershed reminded me -- did you ever get your 3D printer?

Plus for me it worked as an aphrodisiac.

The first time I took it, it totally did for me. The second, NSM. I begin to wonder if my hormones changed in between and that affected it. It's entirely possible.

did you ever get your 3D printer?

Yes.

It's currently half-built. I need to put together some shelves and reorganize my apartment before finishing it.

Yeah, I start a lot of projects that I don't finish. Hopefully this won't be one of them.

Yes.

That is cool as HELL! (The printer. The shelves could be cool, too -- if they are, post pictures!)

Our house is perpetually in a state of needing more shelves and DESPERATELY needs re-organization. And the motivation for same on the part of its inhabitants.

I've been wanting a 3D printer forever! Well, for as long as there have been 3D printers. Am jealous of tommyrot.

If Lexapro is working well for you, I honestly would say don't switch. Antidepressants are so dodgy (in terms of what works for one person but doesn't for another) that it is ridiculous to stop a drug that's proven to help your brain just because it *might* make you lose weight. Because it also might *not*, and then your brain is fucked. Or maybe you lose 5 pounds. Is that small of an amount worth fucking with your brain?

I agree absolutely with this.

Tom's gained about 100 pounds during the time he's been working on getting the right concoction of ADs- like from 2008-2009 I think?

Just as a data point, at least this buffista had a life-saving Wellbutrin experience, and it absolutely worked on me to quit smoking while I was on it.

Yes, me too.

Pupil dilation could be “a subconscious indicator of sexuality”

Your pupils tend to dilate, or widen, when eyeing somebody that you find particularly attractive. Now, newly published research suggests that measuring pupil responses may be an effective way of assessing a person's sexual orientation.

Cornell Researchers Gerulf Fieger and Ritch C. Savin Williams summarize their findings in the latest issue of PLoS ONE:

In general, self-reported sexual orientation corresponded with pupil dilation to men and women. Among men, substantial dilation to both sexes was most common in bisexual-identified men. In contrast, among women, substantial dilation to both sexes was most common in heterosexual-identified women.

"The pupil reacts very quickly, and it is unconscious," explains Rieger, "so it's a method that gives us a subconscious indicator of sexuality."

So when Skynet becomes active and the terminators come for us, they'll be able to tell our sexual orientation. But they'll have to show us pictures of pretty men and ladies first.
