From 9/20 to 10/23 we used an average of 31.4 kWh/day (72% over winter average). Now, mind you, the house is a lot bigger has more things going on. Instead of 1,350 sq. ft., itâs about 3,200 sq. ft. Thereâs 180 watts of light bulbs that are on from dusk to dawn (roughly 2 kWh/day).ut the âwinterâ (non-summer) power is considerably higher. So far, the townhouse seems to consistently use 15 kWh/day more than our old apartment â thatâs 80% more power. Electricity seems to be costing about 25 cents per kWh, so thatâs less then $4/day, or about $115/month additional.
The medications prescribed for treating PTSD symptoms act upon neurotransmitters related to the fear and anxiety circuitry of the brain including serotonin, norepinephrine, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), excitatory amino acids such as N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), and dopamine, among many others.
