Levothyroxine is helping my SA tremendously lately

I've been taking Levothyroxine 50 mcg for borderline low thyroid and social anxiety has been much improved lately. It helps my general anxiety, depression, rumination problems too. Motivation is much better lately and I'm a self-described avoidant who inexplicably feels like going out lately without much concern of other people around me. Which is unusual because these problems have been consistent for decades now. Levothyroxine is used along with antidepressants to help depression + anxiety. Its been about 4 wks that I've felt these noticable changes since restarting it on everyday basis. I had been taking it but only semi regularly due to laziness. Now I've been taking it every day with these good results. I'll update if it stops working as good as it's been doing.

2004 TSX how many watts do the parking lights draw?

Can someone tell me what this car draws when just the parking lights are on? I like leaving my parking lights on when I'm parked sitting in the car just curious how much I'm drawing the battery down. Please don't tell me it's not much and not to worry about it because I'm not too worried about it but still would like to know the wattage lol. Thx!

Dealing with restaurant employees bugs me most

Most dropoffs i don't even see the customer either and never really get a hard time from them anyhow. But for me the least favorite part of the job is dealing with rude immature sometimes nasty store employees of which most aren't even half my age. It gets on my nerves standing around waiting for the order wasting time while often surrounded by people who are not happy with their jobs making idiot comments to each other. When the food is ready and I'm in + out quick then I'm a happy guy. I am 60 yrs old and find it hard to stomach rude behaviors from 20 yr olds (or younger) while realizing my pops retired when he was 3 yrs younger than i am lol so that doesn't help. Sometimes i like the job especially if the money is flowing in and it's busy but it does really get on my nerves sometimes so i only do it 2 or 3 nights a week max. On warm summer nights i actually enjoy being out after 11pm up until 4 am or beyond since it's so peaceful and there's no traffic either. Anyhow just venting amd sure some of you can relate.

Brand New Delta kitchen faucet has water hammer problem

Other reviews of the same unit also mention this problem. We tried to bleed the air out by letting the hot and cold run for quite a while. Other than this problem we like the new faucet so should we think about getting water arresters (are they easy to install) or return this one for a completely different model? If we get water arresters is it almost guaranteed to solve the problem or not? Perhaps just closing the valves just a little bit might solve this problem? Our old faucet didn't have this problem though.

Brand New Delta kitchen faucet has water hammer problem

Just installed new unit and have this problem. Quite a few online reviews say other people having same exact problem with theirs too. I let the water run for long time on hot and cold to let air out. We like this delta faucet aside from the banging. Should i think about getting water arresters (are they very simple to install) or return this faucet and get another model or brand altogether? If we do get water arresters will that pretty much guarantee to solve this or might there still be a problem? Perhaps just closing the hot and cold valves just a little will make the difference? But our old faucet didn't have this problem though.

Doing quite good lately with Levothyroxine added to low dose Zoloft

I started taking Levothyroxine 50 mcg regularly again with Zoloft 20 mg and been feeling quite good. The anxiety, social anxiety, depression, worry, etc seems noticably improved. I feel more motivated and have better energy too. I originally started levothyroxine for a borderline low thyroid and not long after did feel better and even went off disability and wanted to start working again which i did. But for a long time now i stopped taking it everyday out of laziness mainly and since i restarted it again every day been feeling quite good. And i read levothyroxine is used with antidepressants to augment them with often great results. I also read they even use high dose levothyroxine for schizophrenia and bipolar treatment.

Anyhow, a low thyroid should not be over looked since it can cause depression, anxiety, loss of motivation etc. I do believe they prescribe levothyroxine for depression + anxiety even if thyroid isn't low. Btw i had already been on Zoloft 20 mg for months now and the only change made lately was taking Levothyroxine everyday beginning a couple weeks ago. I felt an improvement right away and continuing lately. Hope this holds up and I'll update in a few weeks.

Hope this helps someone!

Package pickups, does anyone else put them in plastic bags like i do?

I picked up packages from a person and i insisted all their stuff needed to be put in sealed plastic bags becisuse of my concern about bugs. I told them it wasn't personal and i even do this with friends of mine who bring bags of stuff in my car. I told the person i would cancel the pickup otherwise so they got large plastic garbage bags and I helped them put everything in there. Now i hope they don't complain to uber about my demands of everything going into sealed bags or be canceled. Anyhow, anyone else do this too?

Btw now I'm thinking I should carry large plastic bags for next time I get a package pickup.

If I use a good case is a screen protector even needed because apparently the screen protectors are known not to stay on these curved screen phones, any suggestions?

▲ 4 r/phones

I just got 2024 moto g stylus which has 6.7" screen and it's a bit too big for my taste. I see 2024 moto g play is 6.5" but the height of phone is actually taller than stylus. Ideally I would be wanting 6.1"- 6.5" screen size for $250 or less. Is there anything out there?

Idk maybe if I give this phone a chance I'll get used to it but coming from a 5.7" screen to 6.7" seems a bit weird.

My G7 play needs new screen and since I don't think i can replace it myself the options are either buy Amazon renewed for same cost as screen replacement (labor + parts = $70) or upgrade to a newer budget moto phone. So I'm wondering what newer motos make sense for me when price is a concern and i like smaller phones. G7 play is only 5.7" screen I guess anything newer is going to be bigger. I'm not a gamer and dont require anything fancy. Any suggestions?

Btw can anyone convince me to try replacing screen myself becaue i watched YouTube vids and seems daunting lol.

My muscles are more sore lately and only thing I've done different lately is taking Zoloft 20 mg. I walk, bike ride, and weight train but soreness especially in legs seem more of a problem now. Has anyone had this problem on Zoloft?

I took the S40 bus to the ferry and paid my fare then later on about 2:30 am got the same S40 bus at the ferry terminal but no one was charged getting on it. Did everyone basically refuse to pay and the driver doesn't say anything because when I seen severyone ahead of me not paying I also walked on and didn't stop to scan my credit card so it appeared about 7 or 8 of us all rode for free. I'm not from Staten Island and don't know what's going on. Is everyone basically riding for free if they don't feel like paying lol? Now i feel guilty for not paying. At the time it just appeared to me perhaps it was a free bus but that doesn't make sense after I've had time to think about it.
