  • I spend about $200/month just for myself. I cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Take lunch with me to work everyday. I eat very very plain food (ie rice and chicken every day). With grocery prices up, I cut out a lot from my diet to keep around $200/month. No beef, no fresh fish, no fruits, no yogurt/kefir.

    Meat: chicken, turkey, tuna fish, eggs and egg whites Veggies: kale, collard green, frozen veggies, tomatoes Carbs: rice, pasta, sweet potato, canned beans, peanut butter, granola bars, cereal Fruit: I admit I bought a bag of apples recently Dairy: milk, mozzarella cheese

    I go to the gym regularly and drink 1-2 protein shakes per day.

    Kind of embarrassing that I live on such a restricted boring diet, but at least I cook for myself, stay within budget, and stay away from processed foods/ snacks.









  • Bupropion is a NDRI. Then you would have to add on an SSRI. However, 2 antidepressants aren’t usually prescribed together.

    Edit: dextromethorphan/bupropion (brand name Auvelity). The dextromethorphan hits multiple targets including NMDA and sigma 1, but technically has some inhibition activity to SERT. I am unsure how strong that activity is, whether it is dose dependant, if its an active metabolite etc. Also should point out that nowhere on the manufacturers website do they talk about using the dextromethorphan to hit serotonin. According to the website, the true mechanism of action of Auvelity for treating MDD is not well understood.

    Edit2: check out this page. Gives more info and some references. Apparently fairly strong against SERT. [(https://tmedweb.tulane.edu/pharmwiki/doku.php/dextromethorphan)]
