  • Cat constantly walking away when i pet her and/or licking her fur excessively? ?

    I own a female long haired cat and she is about 11 years old now. Health wise she seems fine. I have noticed clicking when she walks but have started giving her supplements. She is able to run up and down stairs and can play with toys as well as jump on her chair still which is great. However the main concern is when i pet her, within 10 to 15 seconds she will move somewhere else or will obsessively lick her fur for a while. Sometimes even my hand for minutes. So why is she leaving me every time i pet her and why is she constantly licking her fur so much??

  • Propanolol and slow metabolism question? (Doctors only question or nurses or med student)?

    I did what I should not have done and looked up the side effects of propranolol online and found out that propanolol slows down metabolism. However it's not a 100percent proven exactly as it seems. They just list it can possibly lead to weight gain as a possible side effect. Honestly I just need to make the choice to exercise so that is my choice. I don't want to blame the propanolol or anything. It just seems that there are investigations going on about the metabolism. Does that mean that Propanolol slows metabolism? I just want to make sure that the side effects of it doing that are not a fact and that I can just put to rest these panic attacks I'm having mentally because it is driving me crazy. The real question is : IS IT MORE OF AN OPINION/ASSUMPTION THAN A FACT THAT IT SLOWS METABOLISM? because everyones body is different Thank you!

  • Antidepressant question?

    I'm currently on Wellbutrin XL 300 mg. I've been on it since October of 2018 so that marks about four months now. I began the 100mg version in October of 2017 . So I've been on this drug brand in general for about a year-and-a-half almost .My depression is gone a lot worse. I have gained about 10 to 15 lb. The main reason why I'm on us is because I got depressed because I was constantly eating a lot. However because I still feel very depressed do you think I'm just better off without this medication?

  • Feeling of lack of control of hunger?

    Currently I'm taking bupropion XL 300 mg. What caused my depression was overeating gaining weight and low self-esteem. I was good for 10 months when I first began bupropion XL 150mg. Then after those 10 months I started getting a ravenous hunger again and overeating like crazy. It started at once a week then happens every other week and now it's almost every day. I'm going to be seeing an endocrinologist and cardiologist because I was rushed to the hospital the other day due to heart palpitations and they noticed my metabolism is out of whack. The going all the way back in time. I used to be very thin and had a routine diet. When I stop doing that routine diet I went into a panic and started eating everything in sight. I gained weight lost self-esteem and lost hope. When I first began the bupropion XL at tge 3rd week it motivated me to move on and I was able to be good for 10 months and I was relaxed. Now of course at first I felt like the drug lost its magic but that's not the case the truth is I need to stop doing this overeating and I'm just wondering. I don't get depression unless I screw up and before I get the screw up I get anxious and stressed. Should I even be on bupropion at this point? Will I need a different type of antidepressant to set me back on track? Because I don't seem to be feeling like myself. My mind feels like it's constantly racing and I can't shut it up.

  • Wellbutrin xl 300mg question?

    Okay so in December of 2017 I was prescribed Wellbutrin XL 150 mg. It worked wonders for me. The reason why I needed to take it was because I was binge eating and getting extremely depressed afterwards with anxiety of binge eating. The Wellbutrin XL 150 mg took away those symptoms until early October of 2018. I started to freak out and immediately went to my doctor. He increased the dose to the Wellbutrin XL 300 mg. However I am not noticing much of a difference. I am able to bounce back from the depression but I still seem to be getting these rushing urges of eating. How much longer is it going to take for this to work? Maybe I need a higher dose? I am aware the highest doses 450 for the Wellbutrin XL. I'm going to be seeing my doctor on December 1st. I just want to know this in Advance before I go talk to him.

  • Cardio question?

    Okay so I'm kind of starting to realize that when I workout I tend to overeat more as opposed to if I'm not working out. I've noticed if I do not work out I'm less stressed and I don't think about food as much. What should i do?

  • 2018 Mustang GT 10 speed automatic question?

    Okay so this is the second time this is happening. When I shift the car into drive it feels tight as I'm shifting. But once it's shifted into drive the car jerks and it feels like the suspension goes down as if it's going into a mode. Even if I'm letting the car roll a little bit as I'm shifting into drive it still jolts. What is going on here? I brought into service once and bringing it in again and they said it was a sensor issue. There is no leak or anything but why is this happening again?

  • Eating disorder recovery depressed feeling?

    Okay so for about 4 years I did a diet where I would eat very restrictive from Monday through Saturday. Sunday id be having a full-blown binge or cheat day. Eventually the diet worked too well and I got too skinny. What eventually happened was I kept binging and now it s been about a year and I still overeat. I wouldn t say I binge as much anymore it s more of just overeating. One positive is I m still motivated to work out everyday and that makes me feel good . I finally looked at myself in the mirror yesterday and I m very depressed at what I see. Is this normal? I am a hundred thirty pounds now as opposed to the 98 I was a year ago. Im a 5 1 female. What should I do because it s really starting to affect me I m crying a lot and I don t really want to go out as much. Last night I literally had to take a Xanax to stop crying so I could go to the movies with my boyfriend. :/ help! And if anything does anybody have advice on how to stop overeating and fearing failure of diet and staying motivated to go forward and get to my happy weight finally? Thanks!
