Maybe I lucked out, but everyone in my section was standing up for basically every song, it was awesome and really great energy, lots of headbangers. My friend in a different section however got yelled at by someone for obstructing their view by standing up. What is the done thing?

I was prescribed 30mg during an acute MH crisis and at the time it was an absolute godsend, I have a lot to thank this medication for. In recent times, however, I’ve been feeling mentally much better and the fogginess got worse, so I’ve been slowly tapering off - did 1 month on 15mg, currently in the middle of 1 month x 7.5mg, then alternating then to 0.

The weight gain has been hard to cope with and I’ve been really blaming myself a lot for it. I haven’t weighed myself since I noticed I gained weight. I used to have anorexia many years ago, so it hits me kinda hard. My estimate is I gained 10kg (170cm female), I went up 1 dress size roughly.

I guess I’m looking for some kind of reassurance that the weight gain isn’t my fault, as I could swear I haven’t eaten that much - if anything I’ve even exercising more than ever for months - but I feel so horrible. I guess I was also hoping to lose weight quickly as soon as I reduced the dose, but no luck. Once I reduce to 0, will it be easier then?

Thanks everyone. If anyone is curious I’ve had a really nice time coming off it too, I feel better than ever. I felt a bit fluey in the first few days after going to 15 from 30, but that was it so far.

Hi everyone, hope this is allowed. I’ve seen the topic raised here previously but not in the last 3 years, so wanted to ask if there have been any updates in people’s experiences.

I am a dual UK-Russian citizen. I’ve lived in the UK all my life, and giving up the Russian citizenship is a highly long and complex process that for many reasons is not possible.

After having a very negative experience with Interactive Investor, who placed a bunch of restrictions on my account making it impossible, essentially, to have a pension unless it’s invested in a few individual stocks, I am looking for alternative platforms that will allow me to invest low/mid 6-figures.

From previous threads, I understand Vanguard, Fidelity, and AJ Bell also want nothing to do with UK citizens in my position. HL were great when I called them up, so I’ve considered joining there, but the fees are quite high.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? From personal experience especially.

Thank you!

I’ve been running for almost a year in the Vomero Plus, starting from almost 0 (couch to 5k) to running 10-12ks comfortably. Currently training for a HM and have a FM booked for April 2027 as I just love the training so much.

I love the Vomero Plus so much BUT at longer distances (5k+) I start to get stability issues. I don’t know if that’s just something to get used to.

I did the mistake of walking into a well reviewed running shoe shop, told them all of the above, did a gait analysis and walked out with a pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25. To be fair they did feel great on the treadmill but actually running in them is horrific, they’re now a walking shoe.

I now feel super overwhelmed by all the options and guides online. I’ve tried Novablast 5 but they don’t quite have the bounce of the Vomero Plus, they reminded me too much of the Brooks. I tried 8k or so in a kind friend’s Saucony endorphin pro 5 and was wowed, but even in my usual running shoe size the toebox feels a bit tight (again, not sure if it’s something to get used to). Now I’m too nervous to commit to a size in case it doesn’t fit down the line.

What kind of shoe should I try as a companion to the Vomero Plus? I’m currently using that for all my runs, and I’d like to have 2 pairs ideally.
