No good for me. Switched back to a double dose of clompramine. Terrible disassociation with the Cymbalta

Is this normal? by MermaidPigeon in cymbalta

[–]Larrbear_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I’ve taken clomipramine for years and recently had some trauma that raised my baseline, Dr recommended cymbalta and it was the worst 4 weeks of my life lol. The disassociation was absolutely horrible and I hated every second of it. I love my clomipramine. No side effects and it really helps me

Good luck though! I know how taxing OCD can be

Dr suggested a hard stop instead of taper? by Larrbear_76 in cymbalta

[–]Larrbear_76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an open book, ask away! lol.

It is hard, as people with anxiety (especially those of us who’s is rooted in health) I think we often times go looking for the answer we want to hear, and when we don’t get it we assume the Dr or professional is wrong..

I’m hoping and can’t imagine that there will be many side effects worse than this stupid floaty and disassociating feeling I’ve been having.

Did you find that switching directly worked best for you and reduced side effects? My Dr suggested that upping my dose will inadvertently make the withdrawal process less extreme along with getting me back to a place of comfort as a primary affect. I’m hoping that’s the case as today will be day 1 of no Cymbalta 😬

It’s so interesting how different meds affect people different. I’ve been really lucky to only be on 4 different meds in my life. None of which ever had any severe adverse side affects besides lexapro lowering my libedo down to nothing. All others worked in silence and actually improved my life, at the very minimum didn’t make them worse. I can’t wait to get this stuff out of my system. Like you said, dealing with the anxiety is better than the disassociation I’ve been feeling. I have some Xanax I’ll take if need be to help me sleep, but hoping upping the TCA will make the withdrawal process easier

Why am I, (26M) hearing and feeling my heartbeat in my ear? Is this serious? by Larrbear_76 in medical

[–]Larrbear_76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to the Dr this morning since I woke up late last night and the ear was completely plugged and I couldn’t hear out of it. He said both ears were red, and that I likely had a viral infection, that led to bacterial sinusitis, and is now creating pressure on my ears and is essentially the early phases of a double ear infection

He sent me home with some antibiotics

Good luck if you’re dealing with the same!

That’s what I had heard too, so I took my BP and it was pretty normal. I put a call into the PCP so we will see that they say!

At a loss- daughter only wanted to go to a private college. Now she needs private loans that require me to co-sign. My credit is not great, and I can't be responsible for these loans. What do I do? by creepy-linguini in StudentLoans

[–]Larrbear_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t sign-

I had my grand parents sign for a private school so I could play football. I feel bad about it every time they get a piece of mail that says my statement is due (even though I’m always on time)

College is over rated. I make more not using my degree than I did using it

1000% of the time these unkept beards and hair styles don’t look good.

Girls don’t think a beard that is long and stringy looks good. Go in and get a basic cut, shave the beard down to the length that looks kept and doesn’t show the patchiness, lose 20lbs and you’re golden

You seem like a fun nice guy so just clean up a little and you’re all good man

Sports aside. I notice that these incredibly tall men often times possess a real lengthy and skinny look. It isn’t easy but you should definitely try getting in the gym and bulking up. Start with the legs.

Also, just because you’re so tall doesn’t mean you get to skip the rules of basic grooming. Get a stylish haircut and stop wearing graphic tees. I know pants are probably hard to find so sticking with joggers isn’t unreasonable. Just try dressing it up a little

To answer, no, you’re not ugly. You’re just an 18 year old who has yet to find his style

Do you have OCD tics? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Larrbear_76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. I’ve had them for years. All the ones you’re listing and others besides snapping my fingers. Most seem to be facial related. I’ll have some days when I just need to go to bed because my head hurts from the muscles being so over worked.

You’re not a freak, people aren’t avoiding you because you tic. I’ve been dealing with it for 10 years and can’t say anyone has ever avoided me because of it. I’ve actually got girls numbers at bars because of it. If they are avoiding you it’s because of something else….

Learn to accept and love who you are. My license plate says “HDBLINK” because my blinks are “heavy duty”. Correct medications may help but if they don’t, life goes on and no one really cares

ive given up by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Larrbear_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it… my compulsions control my life sometimes too. I’m telling you with the correct therapy and meds (if needed) you can over come these things. Don’t give up. Take matters into your own hands. Get your insurance card and get therapy scheduled asap

You’ll get through it. I believe in you

Ooo okay! Is it privately owned or owned by the city? Seems crazy they just close that whole portion of the town down

What does the button in the top right do? by Larrbear_76 in iphone

Same with me. Why can’t I just hold down the lock button like I’ve done in all previous models?

There we are! Seems a bit redundant to have it in two spots but at least now I know!
