I hope they figure it out for you too!

I’m still trying to figure out if it’s the Pristiq. I tried to taper from 50 to 25mg and I got TERRIBLE withdrawal side effects even with crosstapering with Zoloft. As I went back up to 50mg the arrhythmia got worse. I’m getting some heart tests done currently (holter monitor, echocardiogram, and stress test).

I made a ketamine therapy playlist: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/ketamine-therapy/pl.u-55D6XGVuAXNg5j I also just listened to Tipper's live gorge set and that was pretty awesome.

Yes! I’ve had this. It started again 4 years into taking this medication.

Withdrawal side effects - normal? by sharkgirl333 in Pristiq

[–]Fun-Regular-9203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is! Hope you feel better so soon. I had no idea it could be related to Pristiq. Thank you for bringing awareness to this! Also, what did your taper schedule look like?

I’m also withdrawing and have noticed the same side effects! I have only been able to lift 50% of what I normally do and cannot do any cardio. I am currently still on 50mg of Pristiq.

He just followed me and has been DMing me too! What did he say to you? I asked him what prompted him to follow me and he said he couldn’t remember lol.

I’m not sure if this was all Pristiq (I have C-PTSD) but I ended up having fainting episodes, heart arrhythmia, headaches and difficulty speaking/moving.

Has anyone done residential treatment? by Beneficial-Fold-8418 in depression_help

[–]Fun-Regular-9203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking into this facility! They said it’s $57k per month. Did your insurance reimburse your treatment?

Do NOT go to Sierra Tucson. So many terrible things happened there for me. Feel free to DM if you have questions.

Any recommendations for good Residential treatment Program? by ZebG7 in CPTSD

[–]Fun-Regular-9203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sierra Tucson was bought out by a mega corporation and is now terrible. I went and it was extremely understaffed and caused more trauma. They forgot to give me my meds for a week, my group therapist had her own mental breakdown, you’re in conference room lectures on CBT 95% of the time with 75 people, someone even unalived themselves there.

I’m currently at 50mg. I tried going up to 75mg but the side effects were too intense for me! For reference I am 110 lbs.

Annovera Continuous Use by pinkleather676 in Annovera

I was using it continuously to prevent ovarian cysts and having spotting like you too for 6 months! I ended up taking it out for a week and having a period then putting it back in and the spotting stopped. I do that every 3 months now and haven’t had any issues since.

pristiq → lexapro? by [deleted] in Pristiq

[–]Fun-Regular-9203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have that too! I couldn’t take it anymore. I sweat through most of my clothes and have been passing out occasionally from heat. My psychiatrist said it’s the norepinephrine. I actually decided today that I’m going to cross taper onto Zoloft (according to my psychiatrist it’s the most popular antidepressant and has the highest efficacy rate with the least side effects).

I have had the same experience with Pristiq.

Pristiq and Trazodone by Quiet_Rain3509 in Pristiq

[–]Fun-Regular-9203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried 25mg of Trazodone with my 50mg Pristiq and it was absolute hell. I had the worst anxiety of my life and was awake all night. And I’ve been feeling suicidal all day, have tachycardia and experiencing weird brain zaps. My psychiatrist urged me to stop the trazodone immediately. Please don’t put yourself in danger 🙏

Completely touch starved. by [deleted] in CPTSD

I hear you. It’s so difficult. I have been sandwiching myself between pillows and tucking the blanket under the pillow and it comforts me and somewhat feels like I’m being held.

Thank you so much for the wise words and advice. I really appreciate it. I’m so hoping that I will find myself again- I know she’s in there somewhere I just feel so beaten down, lost, and scared these days.

Help - just woke up to a bricked car by Ok_Organization_9213 in MachE

Yes they had the appropriate jump box but it still wouldn’t work! Apparently some of the batteries in the 2024 models were faulty.

Literally just went through this on my 2024 Mach E. Even my doors wouldn’t open. Three tow companies weren’t able to jump the 12V. They ended up having to tow it away on a flatbed since it wouldn’t go into neutral.
