Moderator brassmonkey Posted August 4, 2020 Moderator Share Posted August 4, 2020 This is from April 2016, it was at the beginning of page 13 of your "find content". Looks like there may be a system glitch if you're not finding it. "I’m new to this website/forum," 20 years on Paxil starting at 20mg and working up to 40mg. Sept 2011 started 10% every 6 weeks taper (2.5% every week for 4 weeks then hold for 2 additional weeks), currently at 7.9mg. Oct 2011 CTed 15oz vodka a night, to only drinking 2 beers most nights, totally sober Feb 2013. Since I wrote this I have continued to decrease my dose by 10% every 6 weeks (2.5% every week for 4 weeks and then hold for an additional 2 weeks). I added in an extra 6 week hold when I hit 10mg to let things settle out even more. When I hit 3mgpw it became hard to split the drop into 4 parts so I switched to dropping 1mgpw (pill weight) every week for 3 weeks and then holding for another 3 weeks. The 3 + 3 schedule turned out to be too harsh so I cut back to dropping 1mgpw every 4 weeks which is working better. Final Dose 0.016mg. Current dose 0.000mg 04-15-2017 "It's also important not to become angry, no matter how difficult life is, because you can loose all hope if you can't laugh at yourself and at life in general."

Moderator Emeritus elbee Posted August 5, 2020 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted August 5, 2020 @brassmonkey and @ChessieCat thanks, I've actually been able to figure out how to get what I want, I'm more just pointing out things in the system that seem counter intuitive to me, but that are probably not a big deal. Like when I click on the "all activity" tab, I do not see "all activity" in the results because the default results seem to be limited by a date range. And even when I do a search by author in the search, the results again seem to be limited by date range, so nothing appears in the results from outside the date range. And when I try to adjust the date range in the search, it seems to have no effect on the search. I appreciate your attentiveness and I don't want to take up any more of your time or energy on this. These are quirky things that most users would probably never even notice. Thank you My suggestions are not medical advice. They are my opinions based on my own experience, strength and hope. You are in charge of your own medical / healing / recovery choices.

bubbles Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I often read SA on my phone. I usually post from my PC but will read posts on my phone. Over the last few days, on the mobile website, I can't see all of the sections. I see "Members Only" and "Current Events" but not "Support". It is still there - if I do a search on my name, for example, I can get into my intro thread, but the usual navigation isn't there. The regular version that I view on my PC is fine. Any ideas?

Moderator Emeritus ChessieCat Posted January 8, 2021 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted January 8, 2021 Hi everyone, I'm wondering if any other members are having difficulties logging in to the site. Over the last few weeks it can take me a lot of attempts before I can log in. One of the other mods had issues before mine started. It was suggested that they clear their history, which I did, but it has not helped. When I log is (and the password is definitely correct) I get the unable to sign in and the Wait "x" number of minutes before trying again. Please let us know if you are experiencing the same problem.

Moderator Go2zero Posted March 7, 2021 Moderator Share Posted March 7, 2021 I would like to show some graphs in a post. But I cannot do this since, I have placed one photo once in a post that takes nearly all of the maximum for attachments (500 kb). The graphs I want to show are not big in kb, but since my maximum of 500 kb is almost reached, I cannot show them in the post. Which is a pity, since they contribute a lot. Is there a way that I get more room for attachments, or that I can remove the attachment I placed earlier? So that I can show the graphs? 1993 Anafranil (Clomipramine) for a few months.

Moderator Go2zero Posted March 7, 2021 Moderator Share Posted March 7, 2021 Thanks for the reply. Isn't there a way to clear the memory of my existing attachments? It is only 1 photo which I placed in a post to another member. It is a pity that I cannot share some graphs directly in my posts. Would be much clearer and more helpful to members who I try to help with this information. Google Docs is an option of course, but a graph in the answer itself is so much more clear.

Moderator Emeritus ChessieCat Posted March 8, 2021 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted March 8, 2021 Members have a limited amount that can be used for attachments. Staff have a limited amount, which is a little bit more than members, but still not very much. Only admin can delete attachments. If you delete the current attachment and create new ones (smaller sizes) you will still end up reaching the limit. What then happens when an attachment is deleted then it no longer displays in the post and leaves gaps in the information for people in the future. Using Google docs means that admins do not waste their valuable time for which they do not get paid.

But I cannot do this since, I have placed one photo once in a post that takes nearly all of the maximum for attachments (500 kb). The graphs I want to show are not big in kb, but since my maximum of 500 kb is almost reached with this one photo, I cannot show them in the post. Which is a pity, since these graphs contribute a lot to other members Is there a way that I get more room for attachments, or that you can remove the attachment I placed earlier (or make it smaller in size)? So that I can show the graphs? Thanks, Go2zero 1993 Anafranil (Clomipramine) for a few months. Later in 1993 Paxil for a few months 1993- 2006 No medication 2006 Effexor, Cymbalta, some Benzo’s.

Oaktree1 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I don't know if I am posting on the right page but as I was writing my last post whenever I pressed 'enter' the cursor went back to the start of my previous paragraph. Then when I pressed 'enter' some of my paragraphs disappeared completely. I am checking my laptop for a viruses/malware currently but my keyboard appears to be functioning in Microsoft Word.

Following helpful advice from moderator OnMyWay (see her reply of the 5th March) discovered taper with the dilution was 3.8mg (calculated by dividing 30/33 so that every 1ml of solution has 0.90ml of Mirtazapine. 7.50 - 0.90= 6.6ml which was the starting dose on 16th Aug 2021 not 7.5ml).

Moderator Emeritus ChessieCat Posted September 26, 2021 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted September 26, 2021 @Oaktree1 I have the exact same thing happen to me occasionally. In fact it happened a couple of days ago. I think it might happen went the internet slows down, ie the connection between our own computer and the server where SA is hosted, and then it seems to get a bit confused. I have managed to work around it but it's a bit tricky to explain. The easiest might be to copy and paste what you have already typed. Or I think I have copy and pasted in the same place a few words of text that I have already typed (eg me occasionally which I typed in the first line). Even highlighting some text and bolding it might work. I really cannot remember exactly what I've done. It's almost like you have to do something completely different to what you are trying to do to snap it out of the "freeze". However, what I did might not have actuallly worked and it might have just been a coincidence. The other option would to copy the text you have already typed and open a new page and start a new post. Anyway, just knowing that it happens to someone else can help, especially knowing that it is not something that you have done and that it is not a virus. It might even be that the server is being backed up at the time it happens. * NO LONGER ACTIVE on SA * MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: (6 year taper) 0mg Pristiq on 13th November 2021 ADs since ~1992: 25+ years - 1 unknown, Prozac (muscle weakness), Zoloft; citalopram (pooped out) CTed (very sick for 2.5 wks a few months after); Pristiq: 50mg 2012, 100mg beg 2013 (Serotonin Toxicity) Tapering from Oct 2015 - 13 Nov 2021 LAST DOSE 0.0025mg Post 0 updates start here My tapering program My Intro (goes to tapering graph) VIDEO: Antidepressant Withdrawal Syndrome and its Management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirtazapine Taper: 2021 16th Aug - transitioned to liquid from tablet by dissolving two 15mg tablets into a solution of 15 ml water and 15 ml maple syrup on a starting dose of what I thought was 7.5ml; 17 Sept - 7.31; 24 Sept - 7.13; 15 Oct - 6.95; 6 Nov - 6.78; 21 Nov - 6.61; 5 Dec - 6.51; 2022 - 1 Jan 6.41; 1 Feb - 6.1; 9 Mar - 5.8; 13 Mar - 5.9; 7 Apr - 5.8; 21 Apr - 5.7; 7 May - 5.63; 23 May - 5.55; 8 June 5.50; (got COVID on 12th June so held); 1 July 5.4; 15 July 5.32; 8 Aug 5.2; 15 Aug 5.1; 22 Aug 5; 19 Sept 4.9; 2 Oct 4.81; 13 Oct 4.71; (COVID Booster 17/10/22 so longer hold ); 1 Nov 4.65; 3 Nov 4.60; 10 Nov 4.55; 13 Nov 4.50; 17 Nov 4.45; 20 Nov 4.40; 2 Dec 4.30mg; 9 Dec 4.20mg; I discovered that the volumetric container measured 33ml rather than 30ml in Dec 2022. Following helpful advice from moderator OnMyWay (see her reply of the 5th March) discovered taper with the dilution was 3.8mg (calculated by dividing 30/33 so that every 1ml of solution has 0.90ml of Mirtazapine. 7.50 - 0.90= 6.6ml which was the starting dose on 16th Aug 2021 not 7.5ml). I decided to keep using the solution as I didn't want more change to deal with than I had to. 2023 17 Mar 4.1(3.7); 26 Mar 4.0(3.6); 14 Apr 3.9(3.51)28 Apr 3.8(3.42); 6 Jun 3.7(3.33); 19 Jun 3.6(3.24); 30 Jun 3.5(3.1); 19 Jul 3.4(3.06); 27 Jul 3.35 (3.01); 29 Jul 3.3 (2.97); 4 Aug 3.25 (2.92); 7 Aug 3.2 (2.88); 21 Aug 3.1 (2.79); 14.09 3 (2.7); 29th Sept 2.9(2.61); 15 Oct 2.8(2.52); 30 Oct 10 2.7(2.43); 13 Nov 2.65(2.38); 20 Nov 2.6(2.34); 26 Nov 2.55(2.29); 10 Dec 2.5(2.25); 2024 - 14 Jan 2.45(2.20); 22 Jan 2.40(2.16); 29 Jan 2.35(2.11); 2 Feb 2.3 (2.07);15 Feb 2.25(2.02); 22 Feb 2.21 (1.98); 29 Feb 2.17(1.95); 7 Mar 2.13(1.91); 21 Mar 2.05 (1.84); 31 Mar 2.01 (1.80); 14 Apr 1.90 (1.71); This is not 'medical advice' - my 'non medical advice' is don't get any more 'medical advice' or you may end up getting more 'medical treatment' i.e more drugs, DSM labels and/or ECT.

Oaktree1 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I am trying to make my signature more readable and tidy by inserting coloured font headings but I don't see that option available in the account settings under signature. Do you just create it in a separate document and copy it to the signature?
