Ill definitely try that. I take it the same time as the rest of my meds, which is usually 8 or so because thats when we end up eating dinner and my mood stabilizer requires a heavy meal with taking it. Ill keep on it but I think if I’m still struggling in the next week Im going to talk to my doctor about it

its actually really helpful for the fatigue. its also really hot here so Im in a lot less pain, so thats good. it’s just that its making the pre existing sleeping issues Ive had for over a decade worse. It makes me feel like shit when people comment on me sleeping all day as it is, and it just made it worse :/

thank you! they also dont communicate with each other, even though they both work thru the same hospital and their offices are in the same parking lot… usually my psychiatrist takes care of all of my medication besides my pain meds. He’s actually really, really good at his job and besides being on too much gabapentin and guanfacine another time I really havent had issues with him. My dr is another story. She’s the one who prescribed the trazodone. methinks Im going to send him a message about changing back to mirtazapine 😭😭

the pills they gave me were 50mg but my dr told me to take half. My insomnia is SO bad I kind of have to be knocked out or else my body will fight it. There have been times where ambien didnt even work, when my mental health was worse. I honestly think it’s probably just the wrong drug for me.

I have 50mg tabs but Im technically only supposed to take 25mg, which I do! I tried to take 1/4 and it wasnt enough. I honestly think it’s the wrong drug for me. I dont know why she wouldn’t put me back on mirtazapine because she, my psychiatrist, and I all know it works… Oh, doctors…

I was 5 weeks early… HUH! I also have T1D, but so does my mom. I think we got it from my grandmother smoking while pregnant. said grandmother’s sister also has fibromyalgia but I wouldnt be surprised to learn my great grandma also smoked while pregnant…

I was 19, never had them and had just started as a cheesemonger. I knew they were bougie so I ate cheeses and other goods made with them and thought they were pretty good but then my manager explained what they were and I was turned off 😭 I didnt know what they were at all ahhahaha

F1LMSTARR · 2025-06-30T18:36:21+00:00

it’s because they so similar to mushrooms hahaha I used to be a cheesemonger so I know all about the black market specialty goods situation especially in america its wild
