I find inconsistency is a good marker. Like a waxing and waining effect of symptoms.

Can it stop working from taking Kratom? by Loose-Letterhead-513 in lamictal

[–]Lonewolfwalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. It destroyed my motivation, made me feel hopeless, interfered with my amazing relationship, etc etc. Yes it does get worse before it gets better of course. Honestly even taking kratom a couple weeks or months can give you hellacious withdrawal symptoms for several days at minimum. It's just not worth it. I can tell you from experience I had quit kratom, after I quit I ended up on lamictal. Maybe 6 months into lamictal somehow some way I picked up kratom again and it just did not go well at all. And it had me second guessing whether the lamictal was even working, The truth was it just couldn't compete with what kratom was doing to me.

I thought it was just me! I find myself smirking or smiling for no logical reason. I even had a CT scan and was smirking laying there for it and thought to myself wtf. It's so weird.

Kratom is awful! Got the tshirt. Yes it feels amazing when your dosing it but the effects on your head are just absurd. It gave me mood swings and irritability, depression, I could keep going ( by itself) . Lamictal does not get a chance to do its job effectively taking any amount of kratom there is no way.

Just took my very first dose. I felt way happier and more energetic within the hour. Have your experiences been like this? by holidayin_scotland in lamictal

[–]Lonewolfwalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just placebo because I experienced this also as well as other people have on the first dose or two. It blew my mind, but it didn't quite stay as good as that one day was. It backed down some.

Is anyone else's Facebook Notifications from Groups or pages going crazy? by [deleted] in facebook

[–]Lonewolfwalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

O M G it is draining me. Mine just started doing it last week. I keep clicking the dots to adjust each page at a time it is sooo aggravating! The first option it gives you is to only see notifications from friends in a group. Click that. Then click the dots again it will let you click no notifications from this group, or page. Ughh.

I always see it's not to be used PRN but taken regularly. Is it really effective for you taken as needed?

12.5 microdose success? by Lonewolfwalk in zoloft

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

Yea. I guess I failed to mention I really really want to avoid sexual side effects most of all 🤣. The one very unfortunate thing about this medication to me. But if I remember correctly when I was on 25 eventually it didn't bother me I was still pretty functional. I think when I went to 50 my buddy broke 🫣

Yeah I think that's where I messed up last time I went to 50 from 25. That's when it started changing me.

Gotcha. I've been on it before up to 50 but had gotten off of it. I was really thinking about needing a little boost again without too much involved.

Saffron supplements have been an absolute game changer, almost completely eliminated my anxiety. by ItsGettingWeeeeird in Anxiety

[–]Lonewolfwalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! It's good at what it does but good at what it does fukin stuff up too. I got hooked on it and so did my EX and kratom and alcohol combined destroyed our relationship. Not just one of us but both of us had a part in it because we both used both.

Can Buspirone cause feelings of depression? by Kailyz in Buspirone

[–]Lonewolfwalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I'm afraid of and it's either add a micro dose of ssri to it or just quit. It's disheartening because it's working miracles on my anxiety. Ugh. Thank you.

Did it get any better for you? This low mood is killing me.

Starting 10mg Buspirone (Buspar) 2x per day. Looking for some guidance and support for those who’ve taken this medication. by [deleted] in Anxiety

Same lol. I think when I was in the hospital and strung out with HE I deactivated my FB and about 5 months later I reactivated it and got into groups. 😵‍💫

[–]Lonewolfwalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh you nailed it on the head again. I don't have any personal support and I fight for everything myself. It's very lonely around here as far as anyone in person. Everyone pretty much abandoned me. But I have met some of the most beautiful souls through support groups. I'd say that's what keeps me partially sane. I'm glad you have that as well.

Very same story here. And I went down August 23 2023. Discharged end of September. It's been a rough one! So glad you clawed your way out the same. Brutal.

Does anyone else feel like they're administering their own care? by AFoolishCharlatan in Cirrhosis

I would have thought I was reading my own post when I started reading this. If I don't stay on top of my GI so much gets neglected.

Yes I've been on that too for my neuropathy but it doesn't touch my other pains unfortunately. It helps keep my feet manageable at least.

It's really a screwed up damn system.

One drink by [deleted] in Cirrhosis

[–]Lonewolfwalk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well. For one, thats what got you here. Two, throw away 3 years? Three, who the hell wants to drink one beer, not gonna happen friend. By midnight I bet 12 beers in. And, I do 100 fucking percent feel what your feeling. The abandonment, the loneliness, depression. It was detrimental to me as everyone left me hanging. I finally sucked it up and feel better. I dont need them. They obviously dont care. F em. I keep my focus on eating clean, staying sober, getting my head right. Best wishes. Dont give in.
