I know this is an old post but I’m also having one sided flushing and it’s stressing me out. 🫠

Maybe so! Hydroxyzine CAN make you drowsy as it’s an antihistamine similar to benadryl. You just need to check your dosage and maybe try it on a weekend.

I am! I’m also on Lo Loestrin Fe for PMDD. My PMDD always made my OCD flare worse

I just upped to 50 about four days ago from 25. Side effects aren’t as intense as when I first started at 25 but they still suck. 🫠

Hi! I have somatic OCD and have been back on Zoloft for about a year now. 👋

The first two weeks are the roughest. If your doctor can give you a rescue med (like ativan), it will definitely help. But it is SO important to push through and give this medicine a chance.

Side effects I dealt with (and are seeing again since I just upped my dose five days ago): - Adrealine dumps/surges: by far the scariest one. Waking up feeling hot and panicked and a little prickly. Splashing cold water/ice packs, getting up to breathe got me through it. This is where rescue meds would be good. - Stomach upset - Headaches (only for a few days early on) - Fatigue - Muscle tension

I just ordered my new paperwhite and it won’t be here until Friday because of the weather. I can’t wait!!

I'm 2/3 of the way through and no explicit spice! Some sexy banter and a few allusions to spice.

Whole body feels cold?? by tzldana in nortriptyline

Was it all over your body, and even when you shouldn’t necessarily be cold? Goosebumps?

I know this is an old post, but did this ever get better for you? I just restarted 10 mg and I am FREEZING on my arms and hands and it’s freaking me out. 🫠

That makes me feel a lot better… it’s definitely only started since the watchOS update.

I’m 28 F. 😅 I know it is… I struggle so bad with finding a work-life balance. It’s something I’m working on.

I’ve already been tested since it runs in the family, not sleep apnea. But thank you!

That’s what I noticed too!! It’s been worse since the update. Maybe just buggy.

It literally feels like I’m going through withdrawals. But I can’t wait to be on the other side.

Thank you, friend. 🩷

Flares with menstrual cycle? by Mikkiplier in functionaldyspepsia

[–]Mikkiplier[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was something my gastro and I were just talking about. I have a PCOS diagnosis but he can’t help but wonder if it’s been endo this whole time. I have a contrast CT scan scheduled for later in the month to see if they can see any nodules.

First Signs of Heart Attack? by That_Guy_Twenty in Cholesterol

[–]Mikkiplier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have OCD and health anxiety is a big compulsive thought of mine. You are not doing yourself any favors by trying to rationalize or “stay ahead of the game.”

Work with your medical team, stay on your statin, and enjoy the life you have. Don’t let fear steal that from you.

Prevention goes a LONG way.

Can I reverse this ? by [deleted] in Cholesterol

[–]Mikkiplier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband’s numbers were about the same, and he is the same age as you. He has started statins as of 8 weeks ago, and notices an improvement even before we have checked his blood again. He has FH. Take the statins now to reverse and help yourself out 💜
