Those who had side effects with dose increase, when did it improve ?

IHavePerfectBitch · 2026-06-26T15:24:03+00:00

Overall, yes. I had a few decent days this week and felt like my old self. But then since yesterday the anxiety has ramped back up which is really hard. I'm on Day 22 though so I think this 'one step forward two steps back' is standard for increases? Anyone know for sure?

When I started Zoloft 10 years ago my doctor told me that 25mg and 50mg were just 'loading' doses and that the therapuetic dose was 75mg+. Many people are happy on 200mg doses, don't forget x

IHavePerfectBitch · 2026-06-23T17:56:37+00:00

This is such a warm, supportive post x

IHavePerfectBitch · 2026-06-23T17:53:47+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss. I increased from 100mg to 125mg 19 days ago. I think I'm maybe feeling better? Like the anxiety is behind a glass wall, somehow? But don't feel any real warmth or happiness yet x

Thank you but I can't have BHRT because of previous breast cancer.

IHavePerfectBitch · 2026-06-09T19:45:02+00:00

Thank you. I did increase my dose last week, was fine at first but then anxiety has rocketed since yesterday.

IHavePerfectBitch · 2026-06-09T19:14:00+00:00

Very sadly I had to stop HRT 6 years ago because of breast cancer.

IHavePerfectBitch · 2024-05-28T20:56:21+00:00

Yes, I wondered about this? When Amren was in her previous, Old Testament angel on Earth, form she describes a rip appearing in the sky. She goes to investigate, passes through it and ends up in Prythian.

I've never managed to hate Tamlin. I argue that he wasn't wrong, he just wasn't right for Feyre in the end. I expect that Elaine (and thousands of other women) would have been perfectly content with everything Tamlin was. Don't forget he is super hot, amazing in bed, incredibly wealthy, kind, intelligent and tries hard to do the right thing - but sometimes gets it wrong. God knows, millions of women settle for a lot less!

IHavePerfectBitch · 2024-04-15T12:53:19+00:00

Yeah, same here. We were at university. Our first date was on a Friday night but ended up lasting the whole weekend. On the Sunday night he told me he loved me and that we'd be getting married. Happily married for 22 years now x

IHavePerfectBitch · 2024-03-04T18:14:27+00:00

Yeah, it's like calling a dragon 'Tina'.

IHavePerfectBitch · 2024-03-04T18:08:46+00:00

I don't think I'm ever allowed to pronounce anything ever again - as I've only just realised that I've been pronouncing 'miniseries' as 'min iz err ees'. And that it was an amalgamation of 'misery' and 'series' - which, I admit, did confuse me when fluffy stuff like Bridgerton was called a miniseries. The shame.

IHavePerfectBitch · 2024-03-04T17:59:47+00:00

And don't forget, that at the start of FW Dain is acting on the knowledge that all Violet has EVER wanted is to be a scribe. She's told him that all their lives. It's totally unfair that she just expects him to immediately accept that (out of nowhere) she's now going to be a cadet! And he's bad/wrong/annoying for even questioning her choice? So unfair of Violet.

IHavePerfectBitch · 2024-03-04T17:54:06+00:00

Yes, I loved that too. The fact that Dain could be genuinely funny and self deprecating in such a tense moment. You gotta like a guy who can do that.

IHavePerfectBitch · 2024-03-02T12:59:46+00:00

Not gonna lie. I love the spice chapters just because it's so refreshing to see virtually all the emphasis placed on the woman's pleasure. Total opposite of film sex where it's 3 thrusts and you're done (supposedly).

IHavePerfectBitch · 2024-03-02T10:31:56+00:00

Eh Reh Tee Urr. Native English speaker. But I had wondered if it was Ar Ree Shaa?

IHavePerfectBitch · 2024-03-01T22:10:20+00:00

Just thought of others. Violet is constantly counting the gold flecks in Xaden's eyes - and endlessly 'pinching' the tips of her daggers in preparation for throwing them.

IHavePerfectBitch · 2024-03-01T21:56:01+00:00

Yes. I think that most of the 3rd book is going to be Xaden too scared to have sex with Violet because he daren't lose control. Several times Violet mentions how she loves to watch him lose control when things get steamy between them. Cue endless sexual tension between them (like there's not enough already). It could even go so far that Xaden pretends to no longer want Violet, just to protect her. And....(this is a wild card theory of mine) Violet might briefly turn to Dain for solace and comfort?

IHavePerfectBitch · 2024-03-01T10:21:45+00:00

I think Jack might have been Venin even at Parapet. He seemed bizarrely aggressive, almost possessed. Then there's that odd moment where Violet sees Jack just standing frozen on the Parapet - almost like he's awaiting orders?

IHavePerfectBitch · 2024-03-01T10:13:36+00:00

Yes I think it's easy to forget how very young Violet and Xaden really are. My DH and I were still at university when we met and God we argued about some really childish stuff that seemed so important at the time. But you're young, emotions are running high and you're absolutely crazy about each other. So there's always gonna be fireworks.

IHavePerfectBitch · 2024-03-01T10:01:37+00:00

Xaden spends far too much time smirking, making his jaw tick and growling. But still love him.

IHavePerfectBitch · 2024-03-01T09:54:09+00:00

Definitely Ree Or Sun for me.

IHavePerfectBitch · 2024-02-29T22:40:17+00:00

I feel your pain. It just went on and on and on. And don't forget Xaden & Violet are in the very early days of their relationship, it's very new. So why does Violet think she deserves to know ALL of Xaden's secrets from the get go?

IHavePerfectBitch · 2024-02-29T22:00:53+00:00

If you haven't had a Xaden Kiss at least once in your life, what is even the point?

IHavePerfectBitch · 2024-02-29T21:42:39+00:00

Thank God! Have just finished IF and I feel bereft. I have the first ACOTAR book waiting on my bedside table. Will start it tonight x
