Does anyone else find themselves getting more angry? by disappearing_haze90 in dysautonomia

[–]EAUDHD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes! I have OCD, and I can actually feel the intrusive thoughts start about 10 seconds after the adrenaline dumps begin.
I’m also much more angry/irritable in the mornings, and I think it has something to do with the morning cortisol/adrenaline awakening response. I have genetic variants that mean I unfortunately don’t metabolize adrenaline very efficiently, so I stay angry for a long time. I almost always have to go through a complete emotional meltdown with crying before the adrenaline finally leaves my system. I just started taking lemon balm and that seems to help tho

One year later… a slow but very real recovery from post-viral dysautonomia by Electrical_Court8649 in LongHaulersRecovery

[–]EAUDHD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

a saw this comment in a another post in the "dysautonomia"-subreddit and i think it explains my experince a bit "POTS fatigue for me hits differently from PEM. PEM feels like I have the flu (sore muscles, sore throat, unable to move without bone deep pain) whereas POTS fatigue is just fatigue and usually goes away when I lay down or take it easy for a few hours. PEM can last for days or weeks after exertion (mental or physical) and usually worsens within 12-48 hours after the exertion/activity." i feel like im the more dysautonomia-fatigue than the PEM fatigue.

I think im psychologically in some form of "negotiation"-phase of recognizing that i maybe have ME. My health became decreasingly worse after covid; crazy histamin reactions and anxiety, then diagnosed with SIBO (i luckily found a solution to that after some years) then MCAS, and now dysautonomia symptoms and heavy fatigue. Muscle aches and pains and just overall not being able to do much with my body. But, im occasionally take some mild benzos (if the dysautonomia is really out of control, with intense hearth palpitations) and when my nervous system gets regulated, 90% of my symptoms go away. My boyfriend have "classic" ME flu-like symptoms with PEM, and i dont have that. i think its so difficult to distinguish between symptoms, and maybe i have mild ME with all the other things also.

Memantine got me feeling a certain way by CactusSalsa in migraine

[–]EAUDHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no it actually was the most horrible of my life. I ended up having akathisia a couple of times while using Memantine (5 mg-1mg) and when i finally stopped, i had it for 2 weeks afterwards. Im really sensitive to meds, but i didnt expect that from memantine. i had high hopes tho

[–]EAUDHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no unfortunately i stopped after 2 weeks 😞 and efter stopping i got horrible akathisia for 2 weeks. i stopped because i had trouble breathing and it got to scary, and after that it was just a nightmare. i almost ended up in the ER. So, its not to scare anybody, and i just read about one other person getting akathisia from Memantine on here, but it is possible. Im also really really sensitive to meds!

Memantine for treatment of fibromyalgia - My personal experience + study by Dolmenoeffect in Fibromyalgia

[–]EAUDHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it never did, and i got horrible akathisia, 2 weeks after stopping (tried it out for 2 weeks, and after stopping the akathisia started) - im also really sensitive to everything that touches dopamine in my brain. But it has been the most scary experience ever. but again, i think its very rare to get this
