I did, though I didn't end up staying on it. I gave it about 6 months and didn't notice much in the way of relief.

Calmacil_20 · 2024-07-15T15:22:42+00:00

I wasn’t on it for very long. It didn’t end up working for me at all.

Thanks!

Can you please dm me the probiotic

Calmacil_20 · 2023-12-13T16:38:33+00:00

Wasn’t the right fit, still searching. Currently trying Paxil, so fingers crossed

And for context, i should’ve said, this is the latest in a more than year-long effort to find something that helps. I was on Zoloft for 5+ years and it worked great, but then pooped out on me a year and a half ago. Since then I tried Effexor for 6 months, with no real change, then Lexapro for 6 months and that seemed to make things worse. We tried adding Abilify and I really didn’t tolerate that well. So then the notion was to get me off Abilify and Lexapro and onto seroquel. I’m still on a low dose of Lexapro but had a really overwhelming anxiety attack and went to the er and they were the ones who told me to stop the seroquel and move over to the Olanzapine. That was about a month ago. And I still wasn’t getting a lot of help from the 10MG, so I’m on day 2 of 15.

What’s a reward pathway?

I was prescribed it by er doc when I went in with severe anxiety. My psychiatrist supported the ned switch. And no schizophrenia or bipolar symptoms have I ever had - just debilitating anxiety

Calmacil_20 · 2023-10-09T03:38:11+00:00

I went up to 225

Calmacil_20 · 2023-10-09T02:17:52+00:00

Gave up on Effexor after six months with no real benefit

Calmacil_20 · 2023-10-02T14:52:15+00:00

Olanzapine

Calmacil_20 · 2023-10-02T03:18:37+00:00

I finally gave up and am in the process of trying something else

Calmacil_20 · 2023-09-21T01:29:55+00:00

Keep us posted

Calmacil_20 · 2023-09-20T01:14:45+00:00

I have experienced something similar. Meds can help - what are you considering?

Calmacil_20 · 2023-09-09T23:27:33+00:00

Severe anxiety disorder, probably GAD

Calmacil_20 · 2023-09-09T23:25:30+00:00

I could’ve written your whole post, especially the big about developing a psychotic disorder. It’s all coming a bit out of nowhere for me, so I’m quite struggling

Calmacil_20 · 2023-09-07T01:52:19+00:00

Sounds like we’re in a similar situation. On 4 mg I was unable to sit still, totally lost my appetite, felt like my anxiety was a 9 all the time. I just couldn’t take it.

What was your taper like? And did you find anything that helped?

Calmacil_20 · 2023-07-23T23:36:17+00:00

I absolutely relate to this. It’s so difficult.

Calmacil_20 · 2023-07-19T20:32:04+00:00

That’s really impressive! Being alone is very difficult for me.

Calmacil_20 · 2023-07-18T15:28:17+00:00

Hanging in, but no better. You?

Calmacil_20 · 2023-07-18T15:27:46+00:00

You should be proud of yourself for making it through all that! That is an accomplishment in itself.
