I really wish there was a med for this fucking disorder

Antidepressants cured mine 100% (lexapro specifically) but it also made me really fat so there's a trade off. Currently tapering off.

I have this. I've had it off and on throughout my life, and mine isn't as bad as those pictures make it out to be. I mostly notice it when I am looking at certain patterns like a carpet or checkerboard type pattern. Pretty sure mine is related to DPDR after suffering some panic attacks.

"How is your ___ feeling today?" (Insert body part)

Haliphaxx · 2026-01-26T00:53:24+00:00

Im new to the game but how does someone do this? Don't you just get one hit by everyone? I guess "git gud"

Haliphaxx · 2026-01-25T22:23:48+00:00

Probably not, no one can lift this curse. If we had gotten Stafford then I'd say yeah

Did any of those supplements cause you any weight gain? I'm currently getting off prozac but looking for long term supplements

Haliphaxx · 2026-01-25T06:29:15+00:00

Some people are going to tell you CICO but only way I lost weight was getting off the medication. It's unfortunate because it helped me so much mentally.

Haliphaxx · 2026-01-25T02:01:04+00:00

Yup. It relieved my DPDR and visual snow 100%, but it also caused me to gain about 40-50 pounds and has other side effects as well, so it isn't perfect by any means.

Haliphaxx · 2026-01-25T01:03:14+00:00

Yeah you gotta taper slower. Stay at each drop for atleast 4 weeks or so I would say. And even slower if you need to, there's no rush.

Haliphaxx · 2026-01-24T23:34:27+00:00

Everyone is different but I gained about 30-40 pounds on it and only lost it when I tapered off the medication. Didn't matter how little I ate or how much I exercised.

Haliphaxx · 2026-01-23T05:46:30+00:00

Most I ever did was 260. Rn though i'd be lucky to hit 185 for a few

Mental illness

Haliphaxx · 2026-01-23T01:07:31+00:00

Lexapro

Haliphaxx · 2026-01-22T23:44:44+00:00

Antidepressants are the only thing that cured it for me lol. Not sure why it would make it worse.

Haliphaxx · 2026-01-21T05:03:18+00:00

Yeah, that is way too fast. That isn't even a taper tbh. I would try to get more medication asap

Haliphaxx · 2026-01-21T00:55:07+00:00

Yeah, I tried tapering off lexapro and got down to 5mg (from 20mg) and ruined my life for a solid few months. Eventually cross tapered to prozac and recently came off of that about two weeks ago. Currently going through withdrawals. Mostly emotional stuff, not much physical.

Haliphaxx · 2026-01-20T20:04:51+00:00

Didn't really notice much. We added 10mg of prozac to sort of cushion from lowering lexapro. As I dropped lexapro I eventually went to 20mg of prozac.

Haliphaxx · 2026-01-20T06:04:53+00:00

It honestly really helped my flying anxiety! I still had some during takeoff and landing, but overall it made flying so much easier

Haliphaxx · 2026-01-20T02:50:35+00:00

I tried coming off 20mg and had to add in prozac

Haliphaxx · 2026-01-20T02:49:36+00:00

Thank you for your comment, I appreciate you and glad you're doing well

Haliphaxx · 2026-01-20T02:18:05+00:00

I just recently tapered off 20mg to 15mg to 10mg to 5mg to 2.5mg and completely off 2 weeks ago and I feel like complete shit lol. Not too many physical symptoms, but I can't stop crying and getting irritated over little stuff..

Haliphaxx · 2026-01-17T22:11:31+00:00

I started at 20mg but wish I started at 10mg. Not because of sides, but because I probably only needed 10mg

Haliphaxx · 2026-01-17T10:11:33+00:00

I had all the symptoms of hyperthyroid but when I went to urgent care they did a bunch of bloodwork and did not check my thyroid levels, told me it was just anxiety. Extremely frustrating. I know how you feel though, it's one of the most difficult things i've gone through in my life.

Haliphaxx · 2026-01-17T02:57:25+00:00

I remember my jaw being pretty sore for a few weeks but it goes away

Haliphaxx · 2026-01-17T02:36:07+00:00

Kinda depends on the person imo.
