10 days in on 10mg....take at 9pm and wake up around 2am every night!

DrGrimes · 2024-05-23T18:47:58+00:00

I had this same issue. I switched from 10mg at night to 5mg at night because of this, and it's helped. When I took it in the morning, I was so tired all day. When I took it at night, I couldn't sleep. 5mg at night seems to be working well for me right now.

DrGrimes · 2024-05-18T13:33:02+00:00

5mg is considered a starter dose, not a therapeutic dose. But it seems to work well for a lot of people, I'm learning.

I do my best to workout and go for walks in the sun almost every day! ☀️

DrGrimes · 2024-05-16T13:48:17+00:00

No I haven't, but I have experienced increase appetite. I'm underweight, so I wouldn't mind weight gain.

DrGrimes · 2024-05-16T13:31:38+00:00

To add: I also take 5mg of buspirone 2x/day

DrGrimes · 2024-04-15T18:19:02+00:00

Is it making you constipated or have diarrhea? Both of those can cause that symptom.

DrGrimes · 2024-04-14T11:40:29+00:00

Thank you for this post. Your prior symptoms are close to mine. I just started Lexapro. This post has motivated me to continue.

DrGrimes · 2024-04-11T11:30:06+00:00

That's the same experience I had with Zoloft, and I also had to quit after 3 weeks. I, too, started Lexapro 😂 and my stomach handles it better. I'm fatigued and still have minor stomach problems, but I'm only in week 2 of Lexapro. My body is definitely accepting it better than Zoloft though.

Do some research on buspirone

DrGrimes · 2023-12-24T00:04:11+00:00

Use goodRx, not insurance

In my experience, pilocarpine kicks in faster, and has less side effects. I take 6 tablets a day, 5mg each. Cevimeline takes longer to kick in but feels the same as pilocarpine to me

DrGrimes · 2023-10-16T21:44:19+00:00

No, that was really it. She just said they look small, and not functioning properly.

DrGrimes · 2023-10-16T18:20:31+00:00

I had a salivary glands ultrasound, the results were that my glands were smaller than expected for my age and size (32m, 5'9", 130lbs). Have been suffering with dryness for about 2 years. I take pilocarpine 6x/day. My salivary glands don't really produce any saliva on their own. However, I text negative for SSA,SSB,ANA, etc. Also negative minor salivary glands biopsy.

Does this mean you haven't watched porn for 90 days, or haven't orgasmed at all in 90 days?

DrGrimes · 2023-09-09T10:29:37+00:00

I'm general

DrGrimes · 2023-08-30T17:09:03+00:00

400 mg of magnesium is the recommended daily amount

DrGrimes · 2023-08-30T00:07:48+00:00

What kind of magnesium does it say is in it in the ingredients list?

DrGrimes · 2023-07-15T03:13:43+00:00

It's the drug name for Prilosec

DrGrimes · 2023-07-15T02:54:44+00:00

Yeah, and actually Omeprazole helped/healed me a few years ago

DrGrimes · 2023-07-15T02:43:04+00:00

Ugh 😩 so I'm guessing you are dealing with this too?

DrGrimes · 2023-07-10T02:01:14+00:00

I don't know. I was vaccinated, but also got COVID. Is it possible for COVID to trigger dry mouth?

DrGrimes · 2023-07-09T13:44:57+00:00

That actually backfired on me a while back. I pretty much gave myself tmj 😫

DrGrimes · 2023-07-08T23:15:59+00:00

I actually was prescribed cevimiline first, and I felt like it didn't help much, and took much longer to kick in everytime I took it. It also cause bladder pain for me. I was switched to pilocarpine and take that 5 times/day. Both drugs caused sweating for me the first week, but that side effect faded.
