We grabbed some treats from the small house. Honestly, I’ve tried seven different bakeries and hated them all. I can't stand it when every single dessert tastes exactly the same. They look different, sure, but the flavor is identical. Just gross...
At the small house, every single pastry actually has its own unique flavor. I even picked up a cake there after a wedding when I was the maid of honor at a christening... everyone absolutely loved it.
I usually don't bother buying sweets for Christmas or Easter since I hate that store-bought stuff.
We got our cake from the sweet secret... it was delicious, but mostly I just wanted something a bit more out of the ordinary, you know? Like those gourmet sampler boxes.
Anyway, that's my experience. Hope it helps someone... 😉
Anyway, we’re grabbing the treats from 'small house cake'—this is my seventh time trying them... and they are seriously amazing... every single one has its own vibe... a pound is $27....
I'll post the review after the wedding.... hopefully positive 😍
Nathan Cox25 said:I’ve heard all sorts of things about unknown—not that I actually know if their pastries are any good. How much does The Cookie House charge per $30? We used to order them back in the day, but I don't recall the exact price—pretty sure they were way out of our budget at the time. The local bakery in Brooklyn is $23 + 5 if you want them on platters—I think the total comes to 65. Monika charges $27/kg for bulk orders over 20kg, and the machine-made ones are probably just $27/kg
That little bakery $27. I grabbed a kilo just to test them out, so we'll see. Everything else I've tried so far has been pretty 🤷 The stuff from Kašnar was decent enough, but then again, I've heard so many rumors that I don't even know anymore... As for the cake, we're going with the sweet secret. 😍 Our little elephant-themed gift boxes 😍 😍
Tried Absum, didn't like them one bit. Osmijeh was the same, and they even cut the edges off my pieces! Sweet secret is okay, I guess, but $30...
I figured I'd combine being practical with being indulgent, so I went ahead and ordered some treats from a few different bakeries for Easter... we'll see if they're actually any good 🙂
I usually live for baking and cooking my own stuff, so I'm definitely not one to just buy sweets, but hey, whatever...
I'm not on Zoloft myself (I take Celexa), but the side effects usually die down after two or three weeks... unfortunately, you just have to power through it... What anxiolytic are you taking with it? Just crossing my fingers it passes quickly 😉the first few days were the absolute worst for me
I started on Coaxil, and honestly, after just one pill, I was convinced I was going to drop dead. I quit cold turkey on my own, but my psychiatrist insisted I stick with it, so I eventually managed to work my way up to a full dose... Unfortunately, they didn't do a damn thing for me, so now I'm on Celexa. I was terrified to even take them because I was scared of feeling that same way all over again. So, I spent a few days just taking half a pill at a time. When I finally moved up to a whole one, I felt absolutely miserable for a couple of days, but I managed to deal with it using some Xanax. Right now, I'm at one and a half pills, and I'll probably move up to two soon...
briskmoose7 said:I felt this absolute crushing sensation—like my nerves were literally snapping or I was about to drop dead right then and there. But honestly? It’s just me. I see other people going through the same thing and they aren't even feeling it half as hard. We're all wired differently, isn't that just how it goes?
Make sure you take some Xanax with the Celexa. Personally, I used to take Apaurin. I also felt like my skin was crawling... those side effects are brutal, but they usually pass in a few days. It was absolute hell for me too.
If you're terrified of them coming back, just take half a pill. It helps...
Did your psychiatrist even tell you to stop taking it?
I haven't tried Prozac or Zyprexa myself, but hopefully someone here who actually takes them will chime in...
As for side effects, I'm pretty sure every antidepressant has them, at least at first. You just have to grit your teeth and push through the first two weeks. I'm currently on Celexa (10mg for now). It's been 13 days. Last week was an absolute nightmare... stomach knots, couldn't eat a thing, dizzy, nauseous, panic attacks, feeling totally detached from reality... I barely made it through thanks to some Xanax, and now I'm just praying the worst part is over... and that things actually get better soon...
But honestly, today isn't great either... this heatwave out here is absolutely killing me...
Does anyone know if increasing the dose makes the side effects hit even harder? 😕 If you've been there, please let me know...
I’ve been on Celexa for a week now. They told me the side effects should taper off after two or three weeks, but honestly, I feel way worse now than when I first started...
Anyone else dealt with Celexa before? And do these side effects just vanish in a day, or do they actually start getting less frequent as time goes on? thanks
Maybe you have some cysts that burst, so they weren't showing up on the ultrasound before. Honestly, I’d say just go get an ultrasound when the pain is really hitting you hard. And the fact that it hurts now? Not surprising at all, especially since your period is late. Don't stress too much... 😉
Ryan Gomez4 said:I have a 2.4 cm cyst myself. It doesn't hurt and it isn't bothering me at all, so I don't get why my OBGYN is insisting I have to have my ovary removed. There is absolutely no way I'm agreeing to surgery, and I don't even have another gynecologist to go to for a second opinion. 😢
So, that needle idea sounds pretty great to me.
Remove an ovary 😲 ?????? Switch doctors immediately. It’s not just "oh, let's just pull an ovary out." And what kind of cyst is it? Mine is fluid-filled. Or at least, that's what they tell me.
Last June, I ended up in the ER because of some intense pain. They found a 2.5 cm cyst on my ovary. After that, they put me on Duphaston, which I took for five months. Since the pain finally stopped, I figured the cyst had just burst or something... But I went in for an ultrasound yesterday and nope—it didn't burst, it actually grew by over a centimeter! My doctor told me to stay on Duphaston for one more month but at a higher dose, three times a day, then come back to see her. She also gave me an "option" to start birth control, which I definitely don't want, or she'll just poke the cyst with a needle...😲 Has anyone else dealt with this kind of thing?
fadedbear92 thanks... I read the exact same thing over there...
I was actually wondering if anyone currently on this stuff could give me the real scoop... I'm starting tomorrow... honestly, I'm already freaking out... hope it's fine...
