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.
I had a psychotic reaction to Wellbutrin that caused me to almost lose my job.
Well, hey. The developer who obscures to save his ass--out on said ass.
And a deployment I gave the ultimate thumbs up to had an error in it. The signoff says me and a developer approved it, and the error was on her side, not mine, but I'm the PM, so shit rolls in my direction. I don't know if I'm supposed to chase her down and interrogate her, though.
Not to mention I'm
still
waiting for the business to check it out over a week later...they didn't notice we broke it until now...
Still, ouch. That's not good. Thank dog the pain has calmed down. It would be nice if one of the three doctors who owes me a prescription would call back, or the apartment manager would send someone to fix the kitchen sink...
Wellbutrin totally destroyed my short-term memory. I would take my meds, and then have absolutely no idea whether or not I took them. It was scary.
Wellbutrin seems like it's either really good or really bad; no "meh" reactions.
It's hard to give a frack about rewriting 100 references to style when other people have put a spaceship on Mars. I"m regretting most of my life choices today.

Ahahaha. I keep trying to tell myself that this article about neonatal patients with congenital heart disease WILL HELP BABIES, but in the end I'm all "Curiosity, WOO!!!"
Oh, hey! I take Wellbutrin, in theory. I have no idea if it works, or if I experience any side effects. It's one of the meds I'm waiting for a refill on, as things would have it. I've been off for a week. And, stuff.
shrink-wrapped bodies by julien palast
french photographer julien palast has conceived his 'skindeep' series. the vivid image-based project silhouettes the beauty of the human form by shrink-wrapping bodies, exposing the contours and curves of male and female figures with vibrant colors.
More or less worksafe, IMHO.
