  • Congrats! I have used antidepressants several times to help manage my depression. It can be amazing how helpful they are. Not just in the relief of symptoms, but in giving the breathing room to engage in longer term, deep impact activities, like therapy and exercise. Despite the popular advice, neither of those is really easy when you are in a depressive episode, but I was able to engage in both longterm thanks to antidepressants, and that made lasting changes to my mental health. I have occasionally refilled a script for antidepressant, (just in case), but haven't actually needed them for years

  • Different classes of antidepressents have different timeframes and take effect differently. SSRIs certainly behave as you say, but others such as Trazadone (a mixed agent that works seretonen and andrenergic receptors) or Buproprian (norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake, nicotinic receptors) have very different profiles.

    Trazadone works rather quickly, has minimal suicidal ideation, and has a side effect of making you sleep. Its often prescribed off-label for insomnia, and always has the instruction to only take at night, before bed.

    Buproprian takes full effect within 3 or 4 days o, the first dose. It also is nit certain whether it needs a full titration schedule to discontinue, In trials, it was not distingaishable from placebo in causing suicidal ideation.

    Based on OPs report of immediate sleep quality improvement, I would certainly not be surprised if short or long term trazadone were part of their prescribed depresshon management strategy. Its often prescribed in tandem with other agents as well, which we also do not know about.

    TLDR: theres more than one kind of antidepressant, they have different mechanisms and side effects, and we don't actually know which ones OP is using

  • Yeah I did. You should check the topic of discussion before joining discussion.

    I would think it follows that if I joined an instance supportive of a certain stance, and some other instance defederates because of that stance, maybe I didn't agree much with that other instance anyway. It takes a certain kind of person to get upset when they lose the ability to push their views onto others regardless of consent, and I don't want to be that kind of person

  • What about the innocent users on this instance? I chose this instance because its a home for piracy and anarchism. The explictly anti-hate code of conduct is why I'm here. But what good is the DBZer0 code if exploding heads fash can jump to a neglected instance and polute our timelines with all their garbage?

    federation is a mechanism for cultivation; helping the good stuff grow and pruning the weeds

  • Small nit: you don't compute sigma, you prove a value for a given input. Sigma here is uncomputable.

    was not aware of the machines halting only iff conjectUres are true, tho. Thats a flat out amazing construction.

  • My training plan varies between 3 and 6 miles a day, which I do at a ten minute mile. I am definitely potato shaped. I'm not the fastest, but I do it day after day.

    theres different kinds of fit and shape is just one of them.

  • Well, during heavy excercise, a lot more than salt is lost. Another thing lost is blood glucose. It can help you recover to replece the glucose as well, so the sugar in sports drinks can be useful as well.

  • This is quite true. The only people who need to worry about this on the regular are endurance athletes (and people with equivalent jobs). Anything where you are working at an elevated heart rate and sweating for hours or days. Not common for joggers or people who shoot hoops after work

  • Gatorlyte. It has 490mg sodium and 350mg potassium per bottle. It has that very distinct Pedialyte flavor that tells you it's legit. I can get it at the convenience store next to the local hiking trail, but not the one on main street

  • Yup, they are the basic electron donators for almost everything. In the context of sports drinks tho, hyponatremia is the #2 threat (after hypernayremia, funnily enough), so the rest of it was sort of overcomplicating
