Experiences with

Body dysmorphic disorder

I am going through a tough time right now. I can't seem to get back on track. I want to tackle addictive issues first before I start really working on my mental health yet I keep going back to my addictive behaviors. It seems like I have no ability to control myself. I feel as if my addictive behaviors

Hi all, for those of you who went on to have another pregnancy and birth after your initial experience with PPP - I have a few questions. My psychosis happened a year ago. I’ve been fortunate enough to remain well. Next year my husband and I will be trying for another baby. My psychiatrists are confident

Not asking for medical advice, just seeing if anyone’s had good or bad effects with the following medications/supplements for anxiety/depression: -OTC Lithium Orotate (5-10mg) -N.A.C (N-acetyl cysteine) -Vitex Agnes-Castus/Chasteberry -Luvox *all suggestions from my new psychiatrist* I’m at my

any help is greatly appreciated. I’ve been on it for years and it never really seemed to help to my liking. Anxiety wasn’t reduced, I’m bipolar 2 so if anything it’s helped with the highs. I’m at rock bottom and since starting pristiq about 3 months or so ago I’ve fallen deeper in the hole. I’m planning

did this work? Any side effects or guidance.? I have high thyroid antibodies that might be why this is being proposed.

Hi, I'm quite new here. I wonder if anyone can help. I am wondering if I could maybe have an underactive thyroid or maybe even Euthyroid Sick Syndrome? My symptoms are tiredness, weight gain, depression/anxiety, intolerance to cold and muscle cramp. I had a TFT blood test, which came back normal

I had this super weird experience in the middle of the night after waking up. I was very tired. I woke up and once I tried to fall back asleep, it felt like my body was trying to sleep before my brain could fall asleep. I was conscious but feeling very heavy. My eyes were seeing these vivid colours moving

Hi, after 1 year alcohol free, I was expecting to feel great but find myself feeling anxious and/or depressed much of the time. Life is good in most areas so I can't fix things by simply improving my finances, relationships, health...looking forward to learning from others in the community.

Hi, I had drug induced lupus back in the early 2000s (13/14 years of age) which was debilitating at the time. I came off of Minocin and the symptoms pretty much disappeared, however now I’m in my 30s I am noticing big issues with my finger, wrist and elbow joints (wrists have always had bad mobility

I went to the doctor's office today for a regular check up, but I was scared out of my mind. I have bad anxiety issues and was terrified of God knows what might happen or that may usual routine was disturbed. I don't like having to do something too much out of norm. I was terrified of something going

Hello I have anxiety and depression but I can’t take ssri or snri. I’ve heard about quetapine and olanzapine. What’s your experience with them? Thanks for reading my post. Xx

I have no control over my anxiety. I am having to take lorazepam every day to control it, and it has not been helping much lately. My diagnosis is bipolar disorder and general anxiety disorder. I can't function. Extensive treatment has yielded very limited results. It just won't end. I don't feel safe

Hi has anyone noticed spotting with hyperthyroidism? I've been on sayana press progestogen only injection for 4 years and not had a period in that time. But the last few days I've been spotting.

I got a stomach virus about two months ago and ended up not being able to take my medication. I was on 100mg pristiq and realized it was making me numb. My psych said it was fine to just stop taking it…now two months later I am very down, lost, scared, constantly worried. I don’t know if this is withdrawal

Stopped Paroxetine - 10mg- without tapering- been on it 20 years. Had complete anxiety/panic crisis. GP prescribed Sertraline. Really disagreed with me- agitated panicked insomnia…got up to100mg- side effects ridiculous. Tapered off and started 50mg Trazadone- started sleeping better immediately- now

hello all. Not sure if anyone can see my post from last year but long story short my husband had his first manic episode in April of 2023 requiring me to 302 him. The worst possible experience of my life. He has since been much better and stabilized on medications and our life has been pretty joyous.

I don't want to sound like a record that keeps skipping but I have to get this out. I am three months out from withdrawing from an SSRI that I had to stop taking and about two months from amitriptyline which I only took for two weeks. I was on the SSRI for a short time, and at a low dose. I did genesight

TRIGGER WARNING I had some really scary/traumatising hallucinations around my daughter after she was born. When I would look at her, her skin would look blue/purple in tone like she was not able to breath or dead. At the worst of it before I was given Olanzapine her eyes were going full black along
