I'm pretty happy with my Boox devices (I have a Note Air 5C and a Palma Pro 2).
Boox, if you're out there, PLEASE add Dark Mode support in Reader that works exactly like EPUB. It's literally the only thing I want, and every 3rd party solution I've tried fails to deliver both smooth stylus annotation and dark mode. (If I'm wrong and other users know of one, please let me know!)
I know this is a dumb phone subreddit, but as an owner of both the Kompakt and the Oasis, I find the Kompakt to be barely usable, but the Oasis to be just wonderful. That is all.
First, I just joined the Air club, and I'm in love with this phone.
Second, I got an absolutely flawless model from Best Buy's refurbished section for $650 USD. Battery at 100%. Seems like they resell models from cell insurance providers, so I can't guarantee that every one is in condition as good as mine.
I'm just over 2 months into my auvelity treatment. Like many others here, after the initial adjustment of 1-2 weeks, I honestly felt better than I have in my entire life (with the exception of a few shorter periods). My primary diagnosis has been ADHD for about 20 years now, and I honestly had never treated my depression as a primary problem. I wouldn't have even considered auvelity if my prescriber hadn't suggested it after clocking my depression symptoms.
I felt calm and at ease in social situations, several friends commented that my humor was very on point. I even said aloud, "I could imagine going off ADHD meds if my brain can work this well."
Unfortunately, after about week 9, I noticed that I was back to feeling almost the same as prior to starting the medication. I think my cognitive function was still a bit improved, but my mood was pretty flat, pessimistic, and a general sense that life was a series of chores/responsibilities, interspersed with some inconveniences and some fun moments. The state I'm back to is nothing new, so I'm pretty cabable of existing here, though I have to admit I'm a bit a heartbroken after getting a taste of how good it was possible to feel, and then having it disappear suddenly.
So I've got a follow up with my PMHNP. Yesterday, I switched to regular Wellbutrin and will give my system a break from the DXM component.
Have others been in this situation and had success, either in the auvelity working again, or with other treatments? Am I thinking about this wrong, and maybe the target of the auvelity is more long-term neurogenesis than short term mood elevation? Am I just chasing a high? I was not prepared for this.
I don't know anything about this, just stumbled onto the video.
The creator does have a Github with this mysterious link.
I've been tinkering around with methods to reduce my screen time for a few months now, including locking my phone down and testing out an E Ink dumb phone. I was lucky enough to find a brand new Palma Pro 2 for a fraction of the asking price on local marketplace, so I had to take the plunge. I was honestly a little skeptical after watching a bunch of reviews, but I'm so glad I picked one up.
It's only been a couple of days, but I already feel that my technology usage has become so much more intentional. I still have a smartphone, but I'm only reaching for it when I need to make calls or texts. I've been reading a lot more and scrolling so much less. I pick up the Palma. I do whatever it is that I need to do, and then I put it down. It just doesn't have the same pull on my attention that my phone did.
