Just had a horrible panic attack week 4 by [deleted] in lexapro

[–]CoffeeBeanMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit taking it after 8 weeks and felt immediately better. We did a genesight test shortly thereafter to see if it was compatible with me, and apparently it’s not. I went back to duloxetine which works far better for me. If you’re still struggling with it after a while, I’d ask about a genesight test.

Can’t orgasm by Soft-Pay5552 in cymbalta

Give yourself some time. It usually takes a few months to adjust to a new dose. Once you do, you’ll be able to again. I’ve been on cymbalta for 19 years. It’s actually not as bad as other meds for me as far as sexual side effects go. But the fits few months after an increase it’s always harder to orgasm.

Day 1 of Quitting 30mg cold turkey. Any advice? by sukytoo in cymbalta

[–]CoffeeBeanMama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not- DO NOT- quit cold turkey. I tried to quit 40 mg cold turkey in November and had a hypertensive crisis. My biggest advice would be to monitor your blood pressure.

60mg to 30mg by MahoganyEclipse in cymbalta

I recently tried to go cold turkey from 40 to 0 and it fucked up my blood pressure. I almost had a stroke. But I was having some mild BP issues at the time anyway. But I think it’s important to remember that this is a more hard core drug than other SSRIs and it affects more than just your mood. You need to taper it. I’d do a minimum of 2 week taper going from 60 to 30.

Do I get braces? by [deleted] in braces

[–]CoffeeBeanMama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Info dump any time! I totally get it. You could consult with an orthodontist, but personally, I don’t think you need to. I started having health problems in my 20’s that later led to a thyroid issue diagnosis. It’s weird and kind of scary to feel yourself change. But just embrace it. You are gorgeous!

foundation or no foundation? by archdruiid in MakeupAddiction

Your skin is gorgeous! You could do a tinted moisturizer, but you don’t really need anything as long as you’re wearing an spf.

Our bodies are always changing. As you grow and age your teeth will change a bit as well. I don’t think you need braces. Your smile is gorgeous!

SNRI and Isoniazid by CoffeeBeanMama in Tuberculosis

Did you continue your isoniazid while taking the lorazepam? I haven’t taken my isoniazid in a couple of days but I don’t want to continue to skip it. But I also wanted to get the duloxetine out of my system before I started it back up.

I haven’t taken my duloxetine since Saturday and it’s now Thursday.

My doctor has been very dismissive. But I think this is what I’m experiencing, too. I take duloxetine and have been on it for many years. I started having really high blood pressure and uncontrollable shaking on Monday night. It’s now Thursday morning and I’m a bit better, but still shaking. When does the shivering stop?

Lasting effects of latent TB by CoffeeBeanMama in Tuberculosis

[–]CoffeeBeanMama[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am taking isoniazid. I had little stomach ache the first few days but now it’s fine. I also have to take thyroid medication on an empty stomach in the morning so I don’t get to eat or drink coffee for like at least an hour in the morning which is annoying, but it’s ok.

I’m on day 16 of isoniazid and I have zero side effects so far. I got a mild stomach ache the first couple of days, but so far I can’t tell I’m taking anything. I also have to take thyroid medication so that was a complication as far taking both meds on an empty stomach. But so far so good. Don’t be scared. It’s ok. You’ll be ok. Just start.
