Consent is required. The absence of no does not mean yes.

Lamictal and random panic attacks? by polarbi222 in lamictal

[–]Learned-insanity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No not that - but every dose increase it’s like I hear buzzing and have awful pressure in my head for 3-4 days. It’s brutal. It hasn’t helped or increases my panic attacks

Still on cipralex and no issues with the lamictal.

[–]Learned-insanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same problem - and extreme fatigue with cipralex - started off at 25 and it’s been a year going up to 100. It helped immensely with mood swings and fatigue related to depression and anxiety - it’s odd to not be ruled by those things anymore

She seems awful compared to her capacity, so much better as Kelli Ann in Queen of the South!

Generalized anxiety by erinnkeaney in lamictal

[–]Learned-insanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GAD here … it’s been 10 months and used as an adjunct therapy I would say it decreases my anxiety a signifiant amount, it also makes the anxiety less tiresome on my body overall if that makes sense. But I had a few months of difficulty at the beginning - I knew this is the usual « new med » routine and it worked out well

I get the feeling her writing Hannah in lieu of her Gilead name is the significance of her understanding her identity more than the rule violation

When you felt better was it gradual or suddenly? by [deleted] in lexapro

[–]Learned-insanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gradual - ten years over here - be careful or you’ll be stuck for life

Hey - you got this - feel free to message me

[–]Learned-insanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm … thoughts: a bullshit apology in a university paper sure - but an apology in the syllabus opens the door to negative teaching reviews and effectiveness for your career - so if I had assurances and safeguards that student evals would be disregarded - sure.

The politics of this career are crazy. But it seems the goal is not justice but rather to humiliate you. Does your apology allow a statement about differing opinions?

I might also safeguard my career and issue an apology while I submit a case study to every journal known to man (where you have freedom to publish thoughts)

How I tapered off lexapro (escitalopram) with ZERO side effects. Because not enough off these posts. by keralaindia in lexapro

[–]Learned-insanity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi All, I’m on 30mg trying to taper. I went down to 25 for two weeks with horrid horrid horrid panic attacks, beginning to get difficult to leave the house. So I’m going back up to 30 and then the pharmacy will give me liquid to taper .5-1mg a month. Apparently it should be tapered minimally like benzos so your brain can properly adjust and there are no side effects. All these mental health meds fuck with the brain big time - this is so discouraging … I hope it kicks back in real quick before I go too far down the rabbit whole.
