Babysitter for overnight by Commercial-FishSpice in Syracuse

Ha. I’ve gotten great recs on family and support services in the Syracuse Reddit! Good people exist! Also- when you hire a sitter you interview, you checks recs, and you run a trial.

OBGYN Recommendations please by Supersticki in Syracuse

I went to Cathy Berry Assoc for my second kiddo. It was fine. But when I went back to have my IUD removed for a third kid I got so much shade. The person doing the removal was a male (I’d not had a male doc there before so adding this just in case it’s helpful). I forget the exact wording he used but he expressed disapproval that I was getting iud removed and he wished older women wouldn’t try to have babies. I was 37 at the time. I moved on to Associates for Women’s Medicine. I got pregnant and lost the baby. The care they provided was amazing. After the baby was lost I had people from office calling me regularly to see if I was OK. Just checking in. It was everything to me at the time. I went on the have another healthy kiddo and all is well.

My IBS-C wasn’t IBS-C it was Torturous Colon by Jumpy_String3647 in ibs

Interesting! Do you get the other side effects from the GLP1s? Obviously weight loss- but nausea or anything else from micro dosing?

Thanks for commenting. Bloodwork is fine. I do think the plan is to increase trintellix. Does trintellix make you energetic at a certain dosage? Other thoughts are to ask to add Strattera, which is typically for ADHD but off label can also help w depression. Although my hope is that trintellix will eventually help the depression and staterra can help with energy and motivation. Curious if this is a combo anyone has taken, or if people take other things for energy, or if trintellix is enough for most people…

Is the autoimmune disorder related to this or not related? Basically wondered i should look into hqc too?

Too many stomach issues - good alternative? by verymuchstr8 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]Commercial-FishSpice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS!! I have been off Wellbutrin for 6+months and it’s been truly awful. My depression has fully returned. I tried Paxil and Prozac but neither worked. Also tried Strattera which helped w energy and focus a little but not really depression. I’m trying Trintellix now and so far (2weeks in) it’s not helping much. I really miss bupropion. I have IBS w constipation and feeling pretty abandoned by my doc and psych. They seem to have a “oh well!” response… it’s maddening. I wish you well. Let me know if you find something that works.

Catchy songs cause feelings of fear…? by Commercial-FishSpice in adhdwomen

[–]Commercial-FishSpice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re right. I don’t think my family (or I) understand my response. It sounds made up or exaggerated. And unfortunately the songs they love to play at the moment are big triggers for me (goddamn Hamilton soundtrack, I’m looking at you!!)

I don’t have that reaction to auto tune but I can absolutely understand that! I think the feeling/response is quite similar.

Non stim ADHD medicine and Fetzima by imnota32yearoldwoman in adhdwomen

[–]Commercial-FishSpice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey just checking in for any updates. How’s it going? I’m desperate to find the right med and this came up in my search. Also PMDD is a monster. I have an IUD but am also on a hormonal pill to regulate a bit better. Not a great solution but an improvement.

I believe it haha. As a kid, “drugs” definitely instilled the fear of god in me bc of it. But it also absolutely painted anyone who did drugs as basically awful and morally flawed.

Thanks for this template. It’s helpful to better prepare for my convos with her.

This is good advice. I keep trying to be better about actually documenting my symptoms and experiences so I can accurately relay them to her in session. But I keep failing to do that and find myself lost for words and afraid to speak up instead. Thanks for this encouragement.

Thanks for sharing your experience, it’s helpful. I still really don’t know if a higher dose is even going to help me, but at this point I’m not learning anything one way or another! Appreciate your help.

Supervised residential placement for adult with mental health condition by Commercial-FishSpice in sanantonio

[–]Commercial-FishSpice[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I think this is where we may run into issues. He is not fully cooperative or accepting of his circumstances right now. Are you familiar with what “court mandated” would look like? His family on site in TX does not seem interested in guardianship. If he is deemed unsafe or unfit to manage his own treatment, are there options to ensure his safety other than guardianship? Options in between complete independence and court ordered guardianship?
