So this is a drug I got from talking to my psychiatrist about reducing my drinking amount without fully quitting drinking (because I don’t want to). he prescribed me 50mg of Naltrexone and told me to take it daily for full effectiveness. Essentially what NAL does is suppress the dopamine you receive from drinking alcohol, curbing cravings and slowing consumption. it works by binding to opioid receptors. it is not an opioid, it is not addictive and it doesn’t cause withdrawal symptoms. best of all? It WORKS. Pretty fucking cool right?

basically i feel totally normal most of the time but my depressive symptoms are less intense and don’t last as long. also doesn’t affect other aspects of my life that some other antidepressants have been said to affect. big fan tbh

my first post in ages… sorry was so fucking depressed but i think my antidepressants are working. SO i recommend bupropion (generic Wellbutrin) the XL version cause you only have to take it once a day and I think I appreciate the small things in life again

This isn't an anti-depressant but a mood stabilizer, I actually just started around 2 months ago and I could not recommend it enough. I was basically a shell of a person last year and its been a tremendous experience gettin' the ol mood stabilized

about 3 months ago I made a bet (or like was challenged or something idk) with my dad to try and go 6 months without drinking any drinks with sugar in them. not anticipating how hard this would be (even for money) I agreed. around 3 months in and as someone who absolutely hated artificial sweeteners I have grown to at minimum tolerate and at most mildly enjoy sugar free drinks. my favorite is sugar free red bull, and I just had gatorade zero today. i also learned that most artificial sweeteners that are used (excluding a couple, like aspartame) have no documented adverse health effects. color me impressed. you win this round, science nerds.

I had been buying a bit too much coffee out as of late and I wanted to switch it up. I have an older nespresso machine and Laura sometimes makes cold brew (it’s a bit of a process), but neither were ready quick enough or were cutting it energy wise. So I bought a Krups 5-cup coffee maker for $25 on Amazon. It does literally only that - make coffee. I load it up with Chamberlain Coffee (which is also a definite recommend), pour in the water, close it and flip the switch. then I drink the entire pot and clean my whole apartment. Good stuff.
