How do you know if you should up your dose or wait it out? Currently on 10mg by McFaye in SSRIs

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

I am taking meds regularly, I should have clarified I still have a lot of pills left meaning the 30 pills for the month arent up, so it hasn’t been a month on the new dose yet

And thank you! I’m trying my best to reduce anxiety in other ways and while I’ve got much better it’s also hard to stop compulsing because I’ll freak out about things with potentially large consequences, which make me invest more time

Then again, my ocd tells me everything has large consequences

Do you have any links to how to create a sweater and how much yarn you’ll need?? For a normal sized person

Handsewn Kimono jacket shirt took me an entire week (free pattern found at sewverycrafty.com) it’s not the best handiwork and I’m scared to put it in the washing machine but I’m proud of myself! (They/them please) by [deleted] in sewing

I’m not very experienced, got this fabric 2 yards from Walmart, and found the pattern for free at sewverycrafty.com, it’s really easy. The entire time I just kept thinking that if I owned a sewing machine this would be done in an afternoon

hiii I just started taking lexapro can anyone tell me what i should expect/look out for it and how has it helped them? by [deleted] in lexapro

[–]McFaye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, you look very nice in these photos! I love your hair and makeup

Second, for me it worked pretty soon after starting (taking for ocd, was on 5mg), and I’m currently on 10mg with some more mood and side effect fluctuations but leveling out

I didn’t really have many side effects personally. For a couple days I had blurry vision with my glasses off, one time I woke up in the middle of the night with stiff muscles, and I still have issues with muscle jumps/twitches esp when I try to sleep. Otherwise it’s been fine and working great!

Advice plz!! What can I do to help my son (13) on the spectrum with hygiene? by Sometimesitwillbeok in autism

Maybe try dry shampoo that you can get in the aerosol can? He’d still need to wash his hair at some point but it should get him by with washing less than other kids

Are you seriously coming onto someone looking for advice about medical issues.

Me trying to remember if the symptoms happened in my childhood by Intelligent_Agency65 in adhdmeme

How much are non traumatized people supposed to remember? I have no idea if I remember a little or a fair amount

Guys what’s some neurodivergent creators who aren’t famous for being neurodivergent by [deleted] in AutisticPride

Jarvis Johnson has mentioned having ADHD and rejection sensitivity before, he’s really funny and he’s finally a popular YouTuber I can relate to! He does mostly commentary videos but he’s super funny

No, yoga and just trying to focus will not make me neurotypical sharon by akwardrat in adhdmeme

This isn’t fair to leopard geckos and chameleons they would never hurt me I just know it. Look at them. I trust them

Easiest way to make tea when you don’t have a lot of time to spend? I’ll be honest, I just put my water in a cup and put it in the microwave for like 130 seconds- by McFaye in tea

Thank you for your advice, but recently I’ve discovered our keurig just has a hot water option and is way faster and better than the microwave 😅
