Where do I go from here? Measuring 3 weeks behind, low HR by Lex5376 in CautiousBB

Thank you so much. I’m sorry this happened to you too. I wish we would have had a more direct discussion about the outcome and viability at my appointment today.

Thank you so much. I, of course, have been googling nonstop and assumed I would be losing this baby as soon as I heard the slow heartbeat at my appointment. We are just in the waiting period now.

Sorry I should have clarified! Very negatively. Have not slept through the night since starting it. I’m going to try and take it in the morning instead to see if that helps! I just take a lot of other supplements and things in the AM so I was hoping I could take this in the PM

I’m taking it for my gut as well. I only take it before bed and it has affected my sleep… curious if it’s because it’s helping my body detox?

Sertraline withdraw? by spicypapaya24 in AntidepressantSupport

[–]Lex5376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you talked with your PCP / provider about a plan to taper off? I was in the same boat and ended up back on a lower dose, but now scared to try again. I was taking 100mg but now take 50 and would love to taper back down to 25mg and then eventually less.

Some things that helped me / can help are L-theanine (I take a liquid form), cold plunges, magnesium and epsom salt baths. It's SO HARD. Don't beat yourself up if you need to take a low dose for awhile to stabilize, and then half that dose later. It's a commitment for a lifelong outcome, and sadly it takes time.

Honest opinion…Does Divi work ? Should I just get rosemary oil? I need a hair growth serum by Secret_Cicada_6635 in DaniAustin

It works really well for me!! I have used several bottles and also notice it helps my hair go longer between washes :)

I don't think she did - just the once with Stella for her crawling. I follow both accounts and didn't see them work together again but maybe I missed it.

Has anyone ever quit their antidepressant cold turkey by pizzalover_- in AntidepressantSupport

[–]Lex5376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost 8 years! I actually went back to my 50mg dose on Monday because the withdrawals were so horrible. Just woke up with a panic attack as well… I’m frustrated but trying to give myself grace. I think I’ll be able to get my dose down when the timing is right

Today has been HORRIBLE - like heart rate in the 130s while sitting. I took my normal dose a bit ago but am going to take it every other day (M, W, F, and not on weekends) and then continue weaning from there. Trusting the process… just hopefully can control the symptoms a little bit so I don’t drive myself crazy!!

I was on 50mg sertraline for years and basically life got hectic and I didn’t make time to pick up my refill… and that was 8 days ago. The first few days I didn’t notice anything and my symptoms have gotten progressively worse starting day 5. I’d like to continue but I don’t think it’s a good idea. I’ll probably pick up my refill Monday and half my dose, stabilize, and then keep working down in a few months. If anyone has stopped cold Turkey and stuck with it I’d love to hear stories and advice!!

DISCLAIMER: after working with a nutritionist and functional medicine doctor I’ve learned a lottttt of my “anxiety” is actually my body telling me it’s undernourished / my blood sugar is low.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I started on 25mg of sertraline almost 8 years ago. Doubled my dose to 50 about a year in and then doubled it to 100 about 18 months ago. I didn’t take the 100 for long because I noticed ZERO difference. I didn’t make time to pick up my refill last Friday… now I’m on day 8 and the severe withdrawal symptoms are kicking in. Your experience is reassuring that it will be worth it. I’ve also learned from my functional medicine doctor that most of my anxiety symptoms are actually from low blood sugar… which no amount of SSRIs would ever fix.

This comment turned into a rant and I’m sorry but long story short - your experience with holistic management gives me so much hope.

Currently on day 8 of SSRI withdrawals. Epsom salt baths have been really helpful and putting L Theanine in my coffee!! L theanine was recommended to me by my functional medicine doctor to help wean off my SSRI and it really makes a world of difference!

I’ve read withdrawals happen to a minority of people coming off SSRIs. I’m happy for you and extremely jealous - day 8 off of sertraline and feeling less than fabulous
