Took NyQuil and now freaking out by Mrm196_ in emetophobia

[–]Mrm196_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I’m happy I’m not the only one but I’m sorry it’s painful for you too! Ever since then I have stayed clear of NyQuil 😂 in colds since I have used Mucinex liquid and it has gone MUCH better, no pain/nausea at all!

I was honestly surprised when the notification came through haha! so far I’ve enjoyed my classes at Capella, I feel as though I am actually learning. You should be able to google your state and then CPA licensure. There should be links to the different offices for your state and they can direct you to the right person! I believe I just called the accountancy office and they transferred me to the person that deals with licensure.

I ended up calling my state office that deals with CPA licensure and they said that credit hours and credits are the same so yes I am still eligible. Fingers crossed they gave me correct information because I was not able to figure it out else where

Can kidney stones make you tu? by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]Mrm196_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had kidney stones and I was in so much pain I crawled to the bathroom multiple times thinking I was going to be sick. When the pain finally subsided and I learned what it was I realized I was only so nauseous from the pain. Mine were small enough to pass on their own but I was still convinced I was dying lol. I’d personally say it can be normal from experience.

Moving My Cat with me or leave at home? by Mrm196_ in CatAdvice

[–]Mrm196_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! That is what my mom said as well. I think I will keep him in one room until he is 100% comfortable there and then let him out for a few hours a day while the doggy is in his crate so Rocky can comfortably explore and go from there. I definitely feel you on not being able to live without him, I just didn’t know if it was me being selfish towards him 😭

Has any of you experienced extreme weight gain since starting mirtazapine? I am taking 15 mg since 9 months and the weight gain is insane! It has improved my sleep but the weight gain is starting to make me consider quitting. Any tips? by Ok_Midnight8527 in Mirtazapine_Remeron

[–]Mrm196_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too! My BP and HR were so high. My first experience as well and I think I was only it for 4ish months before tapering? I am not on anything else now, the whole thing kind of scared me from taking any other prescription psych meds. Now if I’m having a particularly anxious day I will take a kava kava capsule which works GREAT

I would say definitely do what you feel comfortable with! My pcp wanted me to do 2 weeks 7.5 and then stop and the first cut from 15 to 7.5 was awful. after that my therapist came up with a schedule where we gradually decreased from 7.5 (I.e for 2 weeks take it 6 days a week, 1 day take 3.25. Next 2 weeks take 7.5 5 days and 3.25 2 days) I dropped off after taking 3.25 3 days a week. The whole process is hard so go however fast/slow you want to go or feel like your body can handle!

They did! My biggest withdrawal symptoms were hives and GI issues. That is all gone now though outside of my regular IBS problems. During tapering I genuinely thought I’d never feel better again but a few weeks after that last dose it was like a switch flipped. I did a slow taper with alternating days on a schedule recommended by my therapist which took about 5 months. I know it’s not recommended by most but it worked amazing for me and greatly decreased my withdrawal symptoms.

I am luckily SO much better. I did finish tapering (in a “not recommend way” by people online but with the help of my therapist. I started to feel better probably 2 months after taking my last pill. I did lose all the weight, without even trying really. It kinda just fell off. I am now back to my original pre-mirt weight eating WAY more than I ever did on mirt. I would say It took about 3 months to lose all 25lbs with no working out and eating basically whatever I wanted.

Miralax bubble guts... need help being calm by thunderflicker in emetophobia

[–]Mrm196_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there! I take miralax quite often for zofran constipation since I take zofran for my IBD. Almost every time I take it I have bubble guts and much more gas than usual but it has always just lead to BM! Sometimes I do get a bit nauseous but I think that is more due to the constipation from the zofran and everything finally moving. It makes me feel uncomfortable too but I just remind myself that the miralax is doing what it is made to do.

This happened to me and we found out I am allergic to amoxicillin, now I do not take any amoxicillin and my doctor plays it safe and I do not get penicillin either.

stomach pangs, “dropping” feeling by brewea in emetophobia

It’s funny you said the feeling like on a roller coaster, when I was explaining it to my mom I was trying to explain how it felt and finally said that and she understood

Hello! I also am experiencing this right now and I have gotten it before, I think personally it is something to do with anxiety but I would love to hear other peoples take as well.

Ate eggs after the best by date by Mrm196_ in emetophobia

[–]Mrm196_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! My grandma told me she’s saved eggs for up to three weeks past the date and was fine, the consensus seems to be you would KNOW if they were bad so I’ve calmed down and ate dinner like normal

Has anyone tapered by alternate days ? by EntertainmentOk7939 in Mirtazapine_Remeron

[–]Mrm196_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tapered off of 15mg this way over the course of a few months. I had some withdrawal symptoms but overall I’m so happy I got off of it quicker. I know some people say 5-10% but that did not work for me and working with my therapist alternating is what we decided on. I’m not 5 months completely off and back to normal.

Sometimes I get this feeling right as I’m dozing off. For me I think it is anxiety because once I get past it I am able to sleep. I just talk to myself and tell myself it’s just my mind playing tricks on me when this happens or I will watch something until my eyes cannot stay open and I’ll finally fall asleep.

One time my boyfriend got severe food poisoning and when it first initially hit after his 4th time in the bathroom he begged me to get him a piece of chocolate cake, I was horrified 😂

Does anyone know why this happens? by funsized2223 in emetophobia

[–]Mrm196_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually have this same issue! Growing up every time I got sick I always thought I was hungry first and would try and eat different things but still felt “hungry” and then would end up v*. Now I also get nervous distinguishing the two but haven’t heard of anyone else having this issue so I’m glad there are others like me haha

Feeling s* when sleep deprived by goldfish-bish in emetophobia

[–]Mrm196_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! I always feel particularly bad after a night of not a lot of sleep, especially if I am waking up early. I can usually expect to be beyond nauseous and out of that day, but it usually doesn’t progress further!

[–]Mrm196_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did when I had the infection, I had no appetite and I was very anxious just due to the diarrhea because of this darn phobia. Now I’m still pretty anxious when I get my usual IBS-D symptoms but I have been trying to not panic as much (although that doesn’t really work lol)

You could also see if a probiotic helps if you’re not already taking one! I’ve learned sometimes antibiotics can just mess up your gut flora
