I badly wanted it to work because it didn't cause weight gain (looking back after years on APs it's laughable that I was upset about 5 lbs I gained on mirtazapine) but it didn't.
I'm also glad scary pdoc hasn't been so awful.
The septum piercings look so painful. Doesn't it pull on it to blow your nose? I'd constantly be catching on something. |
I'm only on a tiny dose of wellbutrin. 100mg. I think the starter dose is 150mg? Not that it really matters I guess if it made you so nauseous! That really sucks. The only med I can think of that made me nauseous was buspar. 🤢 Hated that med, and it didn't even work.
My septum ring doesn't get caught on anything. It's actually a great piercing to have because it doesn't catch in your hair or anything! I've had my labret and eyebrow pierced before, and both of those were a bigger pain in the ***. Eyebrow piercing would get caught in my hair. Labret wore away at my teeth and gum line, so I had to take it out. Not to mention with a labret piercing you can always feel it there because it's partly in your mouth!
Septum piercing I can't feel. It doesn't even hurt to clean. It only hurts sometimes when Husband and I are kissing because it's still healing, but even that is getting better.
Getting it done however....
Ouch!
Piercer, "You'll just feel a small pinch."
Me, "Whatever. Just do it."
Feels like someone is stabbing a knife through my nose.
Afterwards, me, "Ow!"
For the love of Pete! And I have a high pain tolerance. Probably hurt so much because it's such a sensitive part of your face. Once it's all healed I'm getting my nostril pierced. Now I'm sure THAT is going to hurt! BRING ON THE PAIN!!! HAHAHAHA.
Yeah. I know I'm sick. Lol.
Oh, wanted to add, I've only blown my nose once since getting it done. It hurt because it's still healing, but it was a very... interesting experience.
