  1. CW: Mental health update (meh); meds

    Further to our previous update, the switch from sertraline to paroxetine seems alas to be increasingly making us far too sleepy and unfocussed for it to be of any long-term use. We've just sent an email to the practice manager at our NHS GP surgery to advise.

    We've tried the following classes and drugs on prescription:

    • SSRI - citalopram, sertraline, paroxetine
    • SNRI - venlafaxine

    Discounting the older types with typically-worse side effects (tricyclics; tetracyclics; MAOI; SARI; sNRI), our last-ditch options appear to be either vortioxetine (SMS) or St John's wort (herbal remedy) 🤦‍♀️

    Please note that NHS England only has limited prescription options for treating depression and/or anxiety relative to the larger number of total antidepressants.

    Le sigh :FaceExhaling:

  6. Saw this Maoi, or statue, today on the south coast of Te Whanganui-a-Tara. It was a gift from the President of Chile on his visit to the capital in 2004. These statues were carved by the Rapa Nui people, on what is also known as Easter Island. According to a nearby plaque, their language and their customs resemble those of Māori. This gift was chosen by Chile to acknowledge the link between Rapa Nui and the tangata whenua of Aotearoa.
