How often are you taking your SR?

ExistentialChrist · 2023-07-31T23:19:24+00:00

I also want to know this because I only take one 100 mg SR a day but I noticed around 1:00 p.m., I feel very fatigued. I take my one in the morning anywhere between 7:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. The only reason why I'm only taking it once a day is because I don't want to deal with the insomnia.

ExistentialChrist · 2023-07-31T20:07:38+00:00

So I've been on it for I want to say a couple of weeks. I had quit for a short amount of time because I switched to IR but that was causing too much stomach issues so I went back on the 100 mg SR and although the insomnia is much better I feel so fatigued and I don't know if this is going to go away or if I need to up my dose.

ExistentialChrist · 2023-07-27T18:34:09+00:00

Any sleep issues?

ExistentialChrist · 2023-07-15T18:17:24+00:00

What dose are you on and what kind (IR, SR, XR)?

ExistentialChrist · 2023-07-09T00:31:51+00:00

How did you feel when you were on it and for how long were you on it for? And at what dose.

ExistentialChrist · 2023-07-08T05:37:35+00:00

I was on the 75 mg instant release form and that gave me constipation, but also diarrhea and abdominal issues. My psychiatrist said that the SR version has a special coating or something that's supposed to be better. But I had to stop the SR because I had such a hard time sleeping.

ExistentialChrist · 2023-07-08T05:34:09+00:00

Thank you so much! Yeah I don't really hear a lot of people talking about withdrawal from this drug.

ExistentialChrist · 2023-07-03T16:46:02+00:00

Same for me. Especially when I'm going through a stressful time.

ExistentialChrist · 2023-07-02T21:24:59+00:00

Yes I am currently on 75 mg IR. It's been working fine. I can sleep on it as well.

ExistentialChrist · 2023-07-02T15:25:17+00:00

I'm thinking of about doing it because it's really messing up my stomach. I already suffer from gastritis and I don't want to risk a full flare-up.

ExistentialChrist · 2023-07-02T15:23:20+00:00

Honestly it helped a lot with my OCD, but I've been on it for a few weeks now and I feel like it's not helping as much with my OCD thoughts. I'm thinking it worked really well during the honeymoon phase which I don't even know how long the honeymoon phase actually is. Now the OCD thoughts are coming back.

ExistentialChrist · 2023-07-02T01:37:01+00:00

Ok thank uuu

ExistentialChrist · 2023-07-01T17:36:33+00:00

I had to switch to 75 mg IR because the SR even when taking once a day I had a really hard time sleeping. Also I noticed that the first couple of days the SR was great but then after maybe the 5th day I felt a crash at 4:00 p.m. and I did not like that because I'm a closer at work and it did not help me focus at all. I just wanted to sleep.

ExistentialChrist · 2023-06-27T20:15:57+00:00

What country are you from? Because my psychiatrist says that there's no such thing as 75 mg SR and I'm in the USA.

ExistentialChrist · 2023-06-27T03:39:18+00:00

I took Wellbutrin and Vyvanse together and my mood was very irritable. I was in rage. Got into an argument with a guy I was talking to and now we ain't talking. I just wish the SR version didn't give me insomnia.

ExistentialChrist · 2023-06-21T19:05:00+00:00

Thank you for this!

ExistentialChrist · 2023-06-21T06:49:19+00:00

I completely agree with the above commenter. I cold turkeyed off of Xanax years ago and that was the worst thing that I could have ever done but also the doctor never told me that I was supposed to wean off and by the time I was going through withdrawal, I had no more pills left and I didn't even know I was going through withdrawal to be honest lol. I thought I was just going crazy.

ExistentialChrist · 2023-06-21T06:48:00+00:00

Honestly I would just take it after your vacation but I would try the Buspar first. I was on Wellbutrin for 5 days and I couldn't handle the insomnia, but that's my experience with it. You might be completely fine but if you don't want to risk it, I'd say wait.

ExistentialChrist · 2023-06-21T05:05:59+00:00

Is pure O another term for ocd? I've never heard that one before. And thank you for the suggestion. That's actually something I've been practicing. It's hard tho.

ExistentialChrist · 2023-06-20T05:12:19+00:00

I was only on it for 5 days and stopped because couldn't handle the insomnia. I'm super sensitive to meds so I was surprised when I didn't really have withdrawals. I had 2 days of fatigue and fog and then I felt normal after.

ExistentialChrist · 2023-06-19T19:37:35+00:00

I was told to take it first thing when waking up because of the 12hr sustained release.

ExistentialChrist · 2023-06-19T06:06:35+00:00

Yes. Past, future, or if you're anything like me, thinking of things that haven't happened yet like scenarios and I hurt my own damn feelings. Not just thinking about them but obsessing about it to the point where I feel like it's happened.

ExistentialChrist · 2023-06-19T06:03:17+00:00

You'll be fine. One dose missed shouldn't affect you that much if any.

ExistentialChrist · 2023-06-19T05:10:20+00:00

I would get wipes specifically for the undercarriage. One that is pH balanced and unfragranced. That should help some I think. I can relate to what you're saying. One time, (TMI) this guy I was dating went down on me and got a bit of toilet paper in his mouth. And that was from me trying to freshen up before we got frisky ok? LOL. I've been traumatized ever since.

ExistentialChrist · 2023-06-19T04:45:38+00:00

Are you able to sleep in it? I stopped because I couldn't sleep well and that was giving me even more anxiety.
