i just wanted to make a post for anyone who was nervous or worried about starting this drug. I was diagnosed with MDD, GAD, and ADHD. i’ve tried the following:

lexapro
wellbutrin
buspar
exeffor (one dose, and i said absolutely not).

i was very hesitant because of the horror stories of people experiencing diarrhea, nausea, increased anxiety, etc and i wanted a med that didn’t effect me sexually as well. it’s been almost a month (10mg for 2 weeks, just recently moved to 20mg) and honestly the only symptom i had was mild stomach irritation the first three days, and i do sleep a little less, but that’s not a bad thing for me as i used to be insanely fatigued.

other than that, i have never felt better. i wake up, and do things. literally that’s it. i’m not glued to my bed, im not sad and ruminating, im able to just get up. i can go to work and do my job without feeling debilitating anxiety or anger. i’m not quick to get irritated or upset. i laugh, i talk, i smile more. i just feel like so much has been lifted off of my shoulders.

for anyone scared to try it, don’t let the bad experiences get to you too much. some of us may already have anxiety so it’s natural to be even more anxious that it may not work, or cause you to feel unwell. you truly never know how your body will react to something until you try it! we are all different.

has anyone ever declined work study on accident and they were able to change it? i didn’t even realize until i was applying for an internship and usf takes forever to get ahold of on the phone so im wondering if it’s even worth calling for 😭

wondering if anybody else has this issue. submitted a florida shines application to take a class at hcc that’s about to be full now, because financial aid still hasn’t signed off on my application. the deadline is close and i’ve emailed, called, and nothing 😭😭

anybody here went publix to vendor route? what’s the best company or route to go? i consider it time to time because publix pay isn’t cutting it for my bills and i don’t want to move up to management here.

not sure if anybody can answer this but i’m a full timer going to school full time as well. i’m really trying to secure a better job, and want to get an internship for experience because literally all i know is publix. but if im not offered a position after said internship, i wouldnt want to lose my full time spot and the guaranteed pay and job security. is there a process for temporarily going part time, or anything of that sort? any advice would be appreciated

I graduate summer 2027, but if i’m being honest i feel like i haven’t learned any technical skills from my degree so far. I learned the basic of collecting information and what it is etc but i don’t see how it will ever apply to a job. I know it’s kind of a degree that you have to find your path in but i’m not sure what extra things i should do cert or project wise or what would look good on a resume. Any advice is appreciated! i really don’t want to spend my time in college for nothing.
