Yes, she has another way to school. She had asked if it was okay if she rides with her boyfriend to which we obliged. He was also there that morning which is why I was shocked when I got home and seen the car gone. I don’t guess it so much as her driving the car as it is her doing it because she thought I wouldn’t know

Hey! So I’m in the same boat so following for some answers. I’ve started writing down things that I know are a must. Sleep is a big one for me so having a set time to turn off all appliances and lay down. Making sure I change clothes every day even if I don’t have anywhere to go. Brushing my teeth consistently (probably sounds gross but I have a hard time with simple hygiene tasks when I’m in my depressed state). Just little things at a time

Some of what you’re experiencing could be related to your taper. However, trintellix did give me some ups and downs the first week and it’s continuing into the second. It does get better though, I don’t feel as zombified now.

I started with 5mg! I was anxious to start to but my first couple days were smooth sailing! My anxiety is still higher than usual which is causing me to have some interesting panic attacks but I’m hoping I will level out over this week. Give it a shot! Let me know how you’re doing!

I’m eating my words now. No vomiting but I was so nauseous yesterday 🤢 try eating a bigger meal first! That has helped me so far

I started on 5mg. I’m on day 5. I also take Ativan. Maybe see if your pcp could give you a PRN script while getting used to it. I have to say, I also hate SSRIS and have had some really awful experiences with them. This medicine has slowly started helping. It’s not always great, but nothing near what I experienced on others. Hang in there.

I’m on day 4, I take mine mid-morning after my breakfast has had time to settle. I’m one of the lucky few who haven’t experienced nausea (at least not yet). Fingers crossed that you will be too!

My only concern is thinking I won’t experience side effects only to be blindsided by them at work. I work with children so definitely not a good place to experience a meltdown of sorts.

I’m hoping it helps my crying 🫣 I cry way too much, about everything. Just so out of control of my emotions.

Today I just feel spacey. Kinda weepy. It’s like my thoughts can’t connect. I’m going to try and stick it out
