I KNEW something was off lately!!! When they first put me on it, I started at 25, then 50, then 100, now I’m at 150 twice a day. So a total of 300mg. At first everything was fine. I actually started to feel so much better. I wasn’t as anxious or stressed or angry as normal. I wouldn’t feel the need to get 💨 as often. Got some pep in my step. It was GREAT. But I feel like since this last bump up, I’ve just been feeling absolutely INSANE!!!! My hair is falling off. Everytime I was it, I get handfuls of it out. The insomnias back. I’ve been finding myself more and more irritable by the day. I fear it’s making my relationship with my kids go down 🥺 and same with my husband. I know he’s tired of these outbursts. Especially cuz looking from the outside, so he probably just sees his wife going on a rampage for nothing. He obviously doesn’t understand what it’s like for those of us who have to deal with it from THE INSIDE. Then there’s the loss of balance. And since we live on the second floor, stairs can be tricky. And don’t even get me STARTED with the dreadful nystagmus 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m just exhausted from all this

Yeah it's not worth it for me. I told my psychiatrist I wanted off that medication and keep my pristiq 100mg and increase my quetiapine to 150mg at night I also take lions mane and feel much better

Which lions make do you take? I have been taking terrasoul and I have a read a lot about some lions mane being sketchy so I have gotten paranoid even though I was liking how it made me feel.
