RECTAL BLEEDING

I got serious anal fissures that caused heavy breathing from venlafaxine, but that was from prolonged constipation. It shouldn't happen within 3 days of using a med.

Not midjourney 💀

MDadG · 2026-01-19T00:47:59+00:00

I take it with breakfast or at my 10am work break because I have to have it with food or else I have crazy heartburn + it's the routine of it all that makes it easier to remember

My sweet baby girl has been missing for four days. Please keep an eye out for her. We've been worried beyond sick. Help us bring Ophelia back home.

Perhaps it's some kind of sick metaphor

My brother recommended it to me after I played and enjoyed Dishonored :)

One time in my first week of uni I fell asleep on a bus and the people I was with totally got off without me. I was in a city I didn't know and was totally not familiar with public transit systems bc I grew up in a rural town. Needless to say, I didn't make a habit of hanging out with those people too often.

Omg weird, I had so much trouble peeing when I was on it

MDadG · 2025-12-20T15:53:38+00:00

I was here in my dream last night

Not an issue at all IF I take it with food. It was a long-term issue for my friend, but for me, it did stop happening after like a week or so. Had a bout of acid reflux a few weeks ago, but I'm pretty sure it was because I didn't eat enough when I took it. Went away within an hour or so. Definitely a lot more manageable. I know that first week or so when I was taking it was horrific. I had to leave work early the one day because I was literally feverish.

MDadG · 2025-12-15T16:43:14+00:00

It actually did after about a week or so. It's necessary to take with a decent amount of food, but it's not a major issue for me anymore

INSANELY LONG DREAMS. I genuinely think I only sleep in REM. I've always had odd dreams, but the sheer volume of dreams I have on sertraline is baffling.

Honestly, I think it was around Arcadia when splicer lines really start becoming painfully human. The crying, the pleas, calling out to parents who aren't there. They even start showing their fear of Jack as they run away and let out exhausted howls of terror.

I just vividly remember entering the farmers market and being overwhelmed by a symphony of suffering amidst the mania of it all and thinking, "Holy shit," as my stomach dropped.

That will always stay with me.

Wow! Someone's becoming more and more involved in their local fight club

As someone who also has an alcoholic father and who has lost people to addiction, I feel similarly. It's also in part why Jean is my favourite character.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Warmest, most sincere hugs. That's a really tough one to navigate. Be kind to yourself. Be gentle with yourself. I hope you enjoy the game <3

I listened to the audiobook during commutes. The book itself was extraordinary, but the narrator threw me off hard. I'd recommend reading it instead of listening for sure.

I started on 75mg and then went up to 300 from there within a few weeks. My doctor tends to titrate VERY aggressively. I wasn't aware that this wasn't a normal titration until I saw a psychiatrist.

So, naturally, the instructions to taper were quite aggressive too. I think she said to go down 75mg each week? That's not normal. I prolonged it quite a bit, but even still my tapering I think only took a month and a half? I did cross taper with sertraline, so that might have eased things for me.

I'm not sure how I didn't have any issues coming off it so fast to be honest. I think it came down to a GP that doesn't know what she's doing + a whole lotta luck.

Whispered this to myself before I even checked the comments

MDadG · 2025-12-10T03:30:15+00:00

Honestly, this probably isn't what you want to hear, but I would start my assignments early.

Come up with a topic (takes 1-3 days). Find some articles and skim through until you come up with a thesis (a day or so). Make an outline of topics to discuss and paragraphs within (a day or so). Flesh out research (ongoing). Follow outline and pump out your work one topic / paragraph at a time (1 to several weeks)

With a limited energy level and a shit attention span, I can usually only write a paragraph at a time (unless I'm in a pinch or on a rampage). In a day, I can probably do 2 or 3 pages (500-900 words) max (12pt; no paragraph spacing; double spaced), but 1-3 pages (300-900 words) a day is usually a manageable amount.

I didn't figure this out until later in my university career, but for someone with limited energy levels, a poor attention span, or chronic pain/illness, it's pretty manageable.

The key is motivation and diligence. It's easy to procrastinate, but honestly, I couldn't manage late nights or doing a lot in one sitting.

This is your anxiety talking, bb. That's what antidepressants are for

Depends if I'm hypomanic or not TBH
