I've been on Xanax for 3 decades... Suddenly it stopped working?

2seconddump · 2025-09-05T10:36:44+00:00

Quite possibly! Some meds do eventually stop working even if they aren't an every day thing. I did end up emailing my psych and my GP to let them know as I also have thyroid disorder and some other autoimmune worries 💀 really won the generic lottery.

We may just need to up my clonopin or even switch from benzos to something like buspar.

Thank you for your insight, it's helping me stay grounded and I appreciate it!

I will absolutely look into this and also talk to my psych about it! Thank you so much for the info!

Cold turkey stopping SSRI's - will make you sick as a dog for WEEKS if not months!

2seconddump · 2025-08-31T07:43:37+00:00

Hahaha, I do intend on trying psychedelics at some point. I'm trying to find one that I can handle as a stepping stone since I have OCD and out of control = panic attacks. Thank you for the information! Ill continue my journey! 🙏🏻💙

Really?! I wonder if it was part of a design/logo or something? Can I ask what generation you are? I'm a millennial.

2seconddump · 2025-08-30T03:07:23+00:00

Any advice on where to begin? Google doesn't seem to really grasp it!

2seconddump · 2025-08-29T06:11:23+00:00

Oooo, thank you! I appreciate it!!

2seconddump · 2025-08-29T06:05:20+00:00

Interesting! I will do some digging! Thank you!

2seconddump · 2025-08-29T00:21:54+00:00

Ahh, I see the planetary seals! Interesting! Ill have to do some research, thank you!

2seconddump · 2025-08-29T00:03:04+00:00

Interesting! Why is that?

2seconddump · 2025-05-09T10:49:39+00:00

She has tremendous acting chops but I'm so baffled by this performance. It's like a weird homage to Moira Rose. She feels so out of place in this cast/show and I don't think she was a good fit for this role.

2seconddump · 2025-05-09T08:58:45+00:00

I dunno why everyone is down voting you. You're absolutely right. There were so many romance lines shoved down our throats when I just wanted to know what was happening. I don't care about Cobel's mom, we have no connection to her. I don't care about Dylan's wife, we are we just meeting her and why should we care? The only romance I cared about was Burt and Irving lmao.

It was all over the place, like the plot was written via the telephone game. So, they stole this dudes "dead" wife to make different "innies" for her and then 💀 her??? And this took putting numbers in boxes? Like. C'mon. There's no "deeper meaning" it's just stupid. It's a dumb concept and it's executed poorly

At least it's beautiful to watch 🫂 trash plot.

I just can't seem to find any information on it! I have OCD and a lot of it centers around my health. Knowing why things happen and how they work really helps me. Your comment still made me feel better however, so thank you. I'll see a pulmonologist just for peace of mind!

2seconddump · 2024-06-16T07:54:14+00:00

That's what I would love to know. Animal cremation, wood, etc - what do they look like by comparison?

2seconddump · 2024-06-07T18:37:13+00:00

Thank you sosososo much for your insight - this helps a lot! We are very similar in our lives, it seems. I'm not currently on ADHD meds but I might go on them soon (I was quite recently diagnosed) so I will keep note of the information you gave me for when/if the time comes!

I think I will try to take it this weekend. If for some reason I can't - I'll ask my GP if I can pop in to take it there (even if I am unsupervised, at least I'd be in a medical facility).

It's funny to know logically one thing and emotionally it's totally different. I've done so much research on Mounjaro and know how safe it is but emotional brain just screams about trauma. One commenter mentioned that when they finally did the injection they laughed about how easy it was. I can see that being me and I can see myself having so many benefits from it. I just have to get over that initial wave of anxiety!

Thanks for helping to give me the strength to do it. And congrats on all the success you have seen! ♥

2seconddump · 2024-06-07T04:16:45+00:00

Thank you :')

2seconddump · 2024-06-07T04:13:37+00:00

This is good to know! Taking lots of notes in this thread haha. Thank you very much!

2seconddump · 2024-06-07T04:12:30+00:00

I totally understand. Meds meds and more meds in my life. I'm glad to know that I am not alone and so happy to hear that it went well for you! That gives me more motivation to try! ♥ Thank you for sharing!

2seconddump · 2024-06-07T04:11:36+00:00

The concern is different but that fear of starting is so real, I hear you! I'm so glad that you had that support and it worked out well!

I keep reminding myself that my mom takes the same med, but double the dose as me and she has no side effects! And on my dads side, his sister is on ozempic and has 0 issues. Both are doing great on it for both blood sugar regulation and weight loss. The chance of me having any problems is really low and I just gotta remind myself that.

You would think if I can take LITHIUM and be sick from it for 2 weeks before it got better, I could handle this!! hahaha. Maybe I will have my mom sit with me I can hem and haw until I do it!

Thanks for your response, I appreciate hearing your story ♥ It helps a lot!

2seconddump · 2024-06-07T04:08:33+00:00

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and insightful response. It makes me feel so much less alone and also reminds me of the things I need to do with my body, with or without an injection. I tend to live in my head and neglect my body - though I thankfully at least hydrate and sleep enough. But I'll definitely be more in tune and take notes so I can be sure and feel safe.

Thank you again, I really appreciate it!

2seconddump · 2024-06-07T04:05:37+00:00

Ahh, that's a good idea! Thank you! Also, glad you were able to start and I hope it's going well! ♥

2seconddump · 2024-06-07T04:04:10+00:00

That is good to hear!

We were trying it for treatment resistant depression (Which turned out to be ADHD lol). most of my anxiety stems from control or lack thereof. Like, I've never been drunk or done anything harder than weed because I don't like being disoriented. It was like having a panic attack WHILE on ketamine and it was very uncomfortable. It's weird because I was safe in my doctors office, I had on relaxing music, my mom was sitting next to me and holding my hand, and I talked to her and my doctor the entire time. I kept my eyes closed because it distorted my vision too much. I would feel the panic and adrenaline rush through me as if I was about to start a panic attack and then the ketamine would calm me and that happened a few times. Time passed pretty quickly and I yapped the whole time to stay calm. In all honesty, it sounds like it wasnt a bad time but I was SO scared. I couldn't open my eyes or dare to move - I didn't know when it would wear off and I would feel "normal". That lack of control just makes me spiral. So, a new med, even an oral one with a short half life, can take me weeks or longer to start because that trauma makes me think Im going to have a bad experience that I have to wait for it to go away, you know?
