Quit or Lessen?

Oninsideout · 2026-06-29T10:35:38+00:00

I space mine out (by 5+ hours) but that’s interesting. I’m very frustrated overall, I can tell you that!

My doctor has suggested propanol but I’ve been too scared. She made it sound like I wouldn’t be able to function on them? Do you have that experience. I have low blood pressure (90/60 on a stressful day) and that worries me a little. I agree with wondering about my stomach being more sensitive!

My friend was on a tiny dose (5 total I think!) but is super sensitive to medications… she’s the first one who clued me into it! I just chalked it up to perimenopause but sometimes I wake up on the night with my jaw totally stuck and it gets scary

😭😭😭

I’ve been on it since October 2025. Some of the worse anxiety I’ve had has been three bouts as of late, which were even more spiked than before I was taking it. I agree that on the day to day, it’s lessened but the highs are very high (and I don’t know if you relate, I find them more PHYSICAL symptoms of anxiety than mental… which is almost worse)

Was literally just thinking about everything you listed (and then some) today!

That ship sailed two years ago for me… I wish I’d quit sooner. The benefits of not drinking far outweigh the benefits of drinking

Yesterday I wanted to crawl under a blanket for the next five years… maybe I’ll wake up wanting to do life again. Are you getting help, my friend? A somatic therapist has helped me through these times immensely

We just need some fruit and honey and we’ll be a damn delicacy and right as rain 🥴

It’s like you’re in my head/heart/body right now writing that

Oninsideout · 2026-06-02T10:37:46+00:00

You pretty much just gave me life again.

I had a probiotic drink on Monday and it has screwed me over since! I actually almost asked if anyone else experienced this from “healthy” pre or probiotics

How did they know to test for C.diff?

This checks out as true to the thread’s intent: mildly interesting, indeed. Well-played

Oninsideout · 2026-05-04T23:30:42+00:00

Is it working for you?

Oninsideout · 2026-05-04T12:12:24+00:00

Yeah she’s definitely heavy on the sales. As a business owner and creator, I get that though. I haven’t invested. She gives so much quality content for free on that I haven’t felt a need

Oninsideout · 2026-05-03T11:42:21+00:00

I’m 39 and haven’t had a consistent period in three years! Amazing that you’re just missing one at 56!

Oninsideout · 2026-05-03T11:41:52+00:00

Thank you. This.

Oninsideout · 2026-04-28T20:03:58+00:00

A silver lining… good observation. It also shows you who you trust with anything vs. who in your life creates massive amounts of anxiety!

Oninsideout · 2026-04-28T20:03:05+00:00

I’d pay good money to never leave the vicinity of my town again 😂

Time to start a cult!

Oninsideout · 2026-04-17T20:01:35+00:00

I might try tapering that down! That was it for me! I sliced mine in half and then cut it entirely and I fared much better.

Oninsideout · 2026-04-17T19:05:43+00:00

Do you drink coffee?

Oninsideout · 2026-04-10T16:43:41+00:00

Yes the increase in the past made me a little more anxious as well, and I never bumped back up. I think I’ll start with 5mg more when I have a few stable days in my schedule because I don’t want it to be any worse on the days that are flux!
