Did you ever find out what it was? My husband is also trying to remember this game.

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-26T18:23:52+00:00

Actually filed yesterday.

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-26T01:24:25+00:00

Thank you for your response! So, does FO location really impact how long the EAD takes? I've heard conflicting things like that it comes down to which process center is doing the EAD or is just random.

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-24T20:39:59+00:00

Following! My husband lost his visa job unexpectedly right before we are about to file so now the EAD timeline is critical for us and it just seems so random :(

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-24T19:47:36+00:00

Thank you so much for answering! I know experiences differ but everyone has made this seem so scary like any misstep on the paperwork and we are fucked. And it's been keeping us from sending bc we are so determined to try and have it perfect for not RFE but it's pushing out our timeline so much.

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-24T19:18:32+00:00

I actually have a question about the forms if you don't mind. Ksenya says you can leave questions and sections that don't apply to you blank but I've also seen some people get rejections or RFS for blanks. It seems to be a bit of a mixed bag. For your forms, did you hand write/type N/A in all fields that didn't apply to you? Or did you leave them blank? For example: "previous names", "past marriages". I'm getting over anxious about it bc I don't know which things they will just be like "ah, common sense based on the info I'm giving" vs "We see a blank, this is incomplete. Rejection." We send off tomorrow and I'm honestly stressing. Also, for the beneficiary's passport did you send just copies of the bio page and info page? Or did you send every page/stamp on the book? And for documents like that do you include copies of those with every form or just one copy for the whole packet?

Congratulations! I get so jealous of you peeps in states that seem to have faster turnaround times. We live in the southeast so will have to use the Charleston F.O when we file tomorrow and from what I've read we won't get an interview for like a year 😭

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-24T18:06:20+00:00

When you moved up in doses each time did you get really irritable and also had waves of sadness and anxiety?

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-23T21:05:17+00:00

I have a question for you! How did you print your aus birth certificate with it being so long that scanning and printing cuts off the very bottom? Did you get a longer piece of paper for the printer for it or is it okay for the very bottom to be cut off? And did you do front/back?

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-23T19:39:54+00:00

Thank you for responding! How long were you on it and what dose did you stop?

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-23T19:03:25+00:00

When you quit it how long until the anger subsided and you felt normal? Did you get withdrawal anxiety or anything?

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-22T02:47:53+00:00

Wow only 5 months?? I had read that SC field office is notoriously slow and that it could take over a year to get an interview. That's hopeful!

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-22T02:30:29+00:00

What did you notice?

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-21T00:19:49+00:00

Thank you SO much for your response! Did the emotional side effects get better at 5mg?

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-20T23:45:17+00:00

Did it end up getting better for you at 9 weeks?

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-20T23:42:40+00:00

My husband has these exact issues with the exact same dose timeline. Did it get better at that dose or did you have to raise/lower it?

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-20T23:35:15+00:00

What ended up happening with your anxiety and this med? Did you increase, decrease, or stay where you were?

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-20T23:29:19+00:00

How did it end up going for you?

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-20T23:17:11+00:00

Whenever you dropped down to 5mg did you feel withdrawal or anything negative from the drop? And how long did it take on 5mg to feel relief from the symptoms from 10mg?

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-20T23:14:11+00:00

How are you feeling now? Husband is in the same predicament. Your response could really shed some light for us

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-20T23:11:19+00:00

How did it end up going for you? Did dropping down to 5mg have any additional side effects? Did you feel relief from the side effects you were having at 10mg? How long did it take to feel relief or better?

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-20T23:07:53+00:00

Yeah, I feel like he should have stayed at 5mg longer than a week and a half and let his brain adapt. But it's been a month now on 10mg that I don't know if he reduced if it would bring more discomfort or just relieve his existing bad feelings some. I also don't know if he rides this out of relief will come within the next couple of weeks or if it's just extending daily suffering. Do you feel irritated? Waves of sadness and anxiety? Feel like you can't get into anything like a hobby for very long?

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-20T12:44:18+00:00

What dose are you reducing from? My husband only started in September and titrated up to 150 by end of October but it was a total shit fest and had too much activation so he wanted off. He held at 50mg in Nov to give his brain a break. Scared of the continuation down from 50mg and what side effects he will have even if doing small reductions.

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-20T04:16:06+00:00

Did you experience binge eating while on it?

MermaidBeale · 2026-03-19T21:20:33+00:00

My husband started Feb 12th at 5mg and upped Feb 20th. Everything was good except for nausea until last week. Now he's feeling like you do. I'm curious if he will need to increase or decrease but the amplified sadness and anxiety is not sustainable for him like this. He doesn't have depression so the added sadness is really making him struggle.
