  • I spend about $200/month just for myself. I cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Take lunch with me to work everyday. I eat very very plain food (ie rice and chicken every day). With grocery prices up, I cut out a lot from my diet to keep around $200/month. No beef, no fresh fish, no fruits, no yogurt/kefir.

    Meat: chicken, turkey, tuna fish, eggs and egg whites Veggies: kale, collard green, frozen veggies, tomatoes Carbs: rice, pasta, sweet potato, canned beans, peanut butter, granola bars, cereal Fruit: I admit I bought a bag of apples recently Dairy: milk, mozzarella cheese

    I go to the gym regularly and drink 1-2 protein shakes per day.

    Kind of embarrassing that I live on such a restricted boring diet, but at least I cook for myself, stay within budget, and stay away from processed foods/ snacks.

  • Tell me you live in Texas without telling me.

  • I read these books as a kid: A series of unfortunate events

  • Hi, just wanted to clarify in case I read this wrong but Jardiance (empagliflozin) is a SGLT2 inhibitor, not a GLP-1. Ozempic (semaglutide) is a GLP-1.

  • Make sure you are practicing good sleep hygiene. Things like - going to sleep at the same time every night, keeping the room dark and cool, limit screen time prior to sleep, not eating dinner too close to bed time, etc.

    Would recommend search for "sleep hygiene handout" and take a look at a couple of the lists.

  • I did the same exact thing with my smart watch. The notifications were constant and distracting. It's now just a regular watch that I use for date/time.

  • Bupropion is a NDRI. Then you would have to add on an SSRI. However, 2 antidepressants aren't usually prescribed together.

    Edit: dextromethorphan/bupropion (brand name Auvelity). The dextromethorphan hits multiple targets including NMDA and sigma 1, but technically has some inhibition activity to SERT. I am unsure how strong that activity is, whether it is dose dependant, if its an active metabolite etc. Also should point out that nowhere on the manufacturers website do they talk about using the dextromethorphan to hit serotonin. According to the website, the true mechanism of action of Auvelity for treating MDD is not well understood.

    Edit2: check out this page. Gives more info and some references. Apparently fairly strong against SERT. [(https://tmedweb.tulane.edu/pharmwiki/doku.php/dextromethorphan)]

  • Hi, pharmacist here. I wanted to clarify that the "discontinuation" you saw on the FDA website regarding sertraline does not mean the drug has been taken off the market. It simply indicates that one manufacturer—Strides Pharma Inc.—has recently stopped producing all strengths of sertraline tablets (25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg).

    Sertraline is a widely used generic medication, and many other manufacturers continue to produce it.

  • Lol ya and all that video footage is owned by the company of those cameras, like Ring aka Amazon. They can access it at anytime and they can even give it to the police.

    Edit: there are setups in which you can store your footage on your own drives. However, many people don't know how to set it up so they use out of the box camera + app which stores all the data on the company servers.

  • Damn that sucks if true. I really do feel bad for them, but like what is the point of me donating if he's not going to speak out against this administration. Doesn't he realize it's not just about his situation, but for everyone else who's also impacted by this? I rather give to another family that will not only use these funds to hopefully turn their situation around but also you know like then also give back/help others and speak out. To be honest I didn't look into OP's comment to fact check because you know I'm only human, busy and got problems of my own. If true though this is really sad ....

  • Oh ok that makes sense. I could see AOC being a good pick for that as she is very direct and not afraid to call out BS. I think the committee would be most effective composed of a diverse group of representatives both young and old.

  • Hey, I tried a quick google search but no luck. Was wondering if someone knew what the position entails? What does a member of the house oversight committee work to do? Forgive my ignorance. Thanks in advance!

  • "There are very few people in the history of the US healthcare industry who had a bigger positive effect on American healthcare than Brian [Thompson]."

    Lol you fucking shitting me? This guy's whole speech is a lie.
