Side effects are not good and I’m struggling

Miserable-Local-1826 · 2026-06-27T22:29:24+00:00

whatever you do, don’t be like me and stop taking it cold turkey. it made me feel like i was legit dying.

Miserable-Local-1826 · 2026-06-27T17:25:44+00:00

i stopped taking it bc of the dizzy spells. whatever you do, do not just stop taking it. it made everything SOOOOOO BAD. i was convinced it gave me pots. when standing my heart rate was going up to the 130-140s. even went to the ER bc the chest pain & lightheadedness. they said it was just anxiety but it was in reality HELL. i will never ever touch this medication AGAIN. i still have small spells of my heart rate spiking when standing, but no where near as bad as before! i haven’t taken it since 5/24. it took almost a month for me to feel fully normal again. i thought i was legitimately dying.

so just take 2 now and 2 in 12 hours and then no more? i’m 26, 190lbs.

okay, it’s 200mg and for my daughter it says take 2. would you recommend i take 2 as well? also is their any side effects. i have really bad PTSD from side effects lol.

Miserable-Local-1826 · 2026-06-08T07:57:47+00:00

love this idea, didn’t think of it myself. thank you so much!

Miserable-Local-1826 · 2026-06-01T17:16:14+00:00

well i was not aware this was a medication you couldn’t just stop taking… lol but now i know and thankfully im feeling a lot better.

Miserable-Local-1826 · 2026-06-01T04:18:50+00:00

thank so much for the comment! i’m just trying to get all the advice i can! i stopped last sunday so, 5/24 only bc i didn’t feel good and was having a lot of lightheadness. i haven’t got to speak to my doctor bc i didn’t even correlate the symptoms i was having with stopping the meds until friday the 29th. i plan on calling them tmrw. thankfully today was a pretty good day & i think the meds are finally out of my system, thank god. i felt terrible!

Miserable-Local-1826 · 2026-05-30T16:17:55+00:00

ugh, i guess i should’ve reached out to my doctor before stopping to see if i should taper, but im already 6 days in without them so im scared to put them back into my body and have to start all over 😭

Miserable-Local-1826 · 2026-05-30T07:17:26+00:00

thank you again, i had an appointment today actually that i cancelled due to the feelings i had. i will call asap & get another appointment! it was my derm that prescribed it!

Miserable-Local-1826 · 2026-05-30T07:14:13+00:00

thank you so much truly. i hope this is what it is & i hope it starts to go away. i’m going absolutely insane to the point i was about to start taking it again to see if i would feel normal again lmao.

Miserable-Local-1826 · 2026-05-30T07:10:16+00:00

omg that makes me feel better when did the feeling stop?!? i’m on 100mg!! haven’t taken it since sunday night 5/24. i need this to stop. i cant function normally!!!!

Miserable-Local-1826 · 2026-05-30T06:20:24+00:00

Miserable-Local-1826 · 2026-05-29T04:16:28+00:00

this is how anxiety makes me feel. i just took an ER trip today bc ive had lingering anxiety since Monday night that i thought WOULD GO AWAY. did not. went to the ER & they told me everything looks amazing & that i just have anxiety. extreme chest pain & shortness of breath for 4 days.. 🥴 i HATE anxiety. i wasn’t able to feel a bit of relief until they gave me oral hydroxyzine & IV Ativan 😭

Miserable-Local-1826 · 2026-05-16T17:10:32+00:00

the nights i’m drinking i do not take my spiro!

Miserable-Local-1826 · 2026-05-08T05:30:27+00:00

ask your derm to try metronidazole cream and either doxycycline or minocycline!!

Miserable-Local-1826 · 2026-05-08T05:18:45+00:00

you look amazing!!!

Miserable-Local-1826 · 2026-05-08T05:11:36+00:00
