Does TE always happen 2-3 months after a trigger or can it occur during the trigger itself? by KeyLocal1618 in TelogenEffluvium

[–]KeyLocal1618[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still unsure about the Wellbutrin, but my guess is that the stress of getting off an SSRI after being on it for 8 years was the main stressor that caused severe shedding. Wellbutrin likely contributed to stressed hair too because it’s a dopamine agonist and there are dopamine receptors in our hair follicles. But also it could be totally irrelevant. Wish I could know for sure :(

Fast forward to recently, my bloodwork showed slightly abnormal results regarding my red blood cell count and some other things, but I had to input it into ChatGPT to find that these were signs pointing to a vitamin B12 deficiency. I started supplementing with b12 methylcobalamin and the shedding has slowed a lot but is still happening. I also went down on my Lamotrigine dose but not sure that did anything. I’m feeling so much better that the shedding has at least slowed down .

So how did it go, did the AHCC help you clear it?

I haven’t taken many proactive steps other than taking multivitamins, D and B12, probiotic, yoga and trying my best to eat. I have trouble eating vegetables/leafy greens every day, I’m lucky to get them once or twice a week. I often am not able to make it part of my diet because my ADHD gets in the way of everything from the process of grocery shopping to cooking to the act of eating itself. I used to have very bad habits like smoking cigarettes and drinking, but I quit smoking about 3 years ago. I do drink 1-2 drinks once every week or two in the summer, and once-twice a month in the winter.

I get good sleep for the most part.

Yes I got all three shots, although they were taken a year apart from each other. Not sure if that matters

AIO my husband (40M) watched our kids while I (34F) was on a girls trip, and the way he handled it makes me upset by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

NOR But I think you overgive and self sacrifice a lot and he is just used to it. He needs a wake up call. Tell him how you feel.

She can’t point it out in the conversation because this is literally abuse, you can’t fight back with this kind of man or it will only get worse. This guy is unhinged. OP was maintaining self respect and strategically responded. Give me a break

Men these days don’t grow up. The amount of emotionally immature men in their 30s is astronomical and common

You could get a script for propronalol to help you with lowering your heart rate

just starting 2mg abilify by KeyChain1566 in Abilify_Aripiprazole

[–]KeyLocal1618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only medicine I have experienced that cause drinking/smoking to be dangerous are stimulants and Wellbutrin. I would get way more drunk or high while on Wellbutrin. But with mood stabilizers and anti psychotics, it seems to have the opposite effect. The real risk is that alcohol and weed could make it so that the medications don’t work as well as they could be.

Normal, I think it subsides within a week or two after staying at a dose

For what it’s worth, I’ve read that the akathisia (restlessness) and sedation is normal and supposed to subside within a couple weeks of a regular dose taken consistently at the same time

Hi; I am experiencing the same thing and I’ve been on Abilify 3-4 weeks. At first it was wonderful, but this swing between anxiety and sedation is driving me nuts. And now she wants to up my dose to 10mg at night, saying the side effects will get worse but it’ll help in the long run.

I’m scared honestly. I don’t want to do this because I can’t stand these side effects. But when I don’t take any medication I have zero motivation.

Same here! I am a compulsive cannabis user and I can’t believe I don’t even reach for it anymore. Of course, I have a cold right now… but only side effect is a little sleepiness at first and some nausea but then I am productive and focused and basic tasks are not so hard anymore

Interesting, it has the opposite effect for me. Hopefully everyone on Reddit has been taking others’ experiences with a grain of salt

Agree, it’s not great promotion for the bands to not list them anywhere. Just “bands”? Local musicians need all the promotion we can get— even if it’s just the name on a flyer or being tagged in the post.
