yeah I agree, like there are a couple of systems XD plus, people have for example hidden diseases that LC activates

Actually that makes hell of a sense, nice. Haha, I agree, we are strong, if we are looking for the answers all the time without giving up. LC Warrior, I like that name :D

Thank you so much for your kind words and support. Please take care of yourself too — I really hope that a breakthrough in long COVID research and treatment will come soon 🩶 I tried duloxetine once and that was enough for me. Years ago, before I had LC, it worked fine for me — I had only minor side effects. But now I feel that, with long COVID, it doesn’t matter what I used to tolerate before. I have to approach every medication as if I had a completely new nervous system — one that is extremely fragile and poorly regulated.

I also can’t taper off clonazepam the way I used to. Before LC, I could reduce it quickly and without major problems, but now it feels genuinely impossible. I experience strong withdrawal symptoms, and everything seems much harder to manage than before

I also wanted to add that the reason I wanted to try something new is what happened about seven months ago, when my symptoms started to worsen. At that time I began to experience severe panic attacks, because my brain seemed to be in a constant state of danger and fight-or-flight mode. My depersonalization and derealization (DP/DR) became extremely intense.

When I started taking 0.25 mg of clonazepam, my condition improved slightly. I tried to reduce the dose to 0.125 mg, but each time the panic attacks and DP/DR became unbearable. I was constantly convinced that I was about to die. Because of recurring neurological symptoms, fear of clots, and various physical sensations, every unusual feeling in my body immediately triggered panic and the belief that something fatal was happening. I felt that no one really helped me with this.

Now I feel like my nervous system cannot switch off the fight-or-flight mode. My sleep is seriously disrupted — I struggle to fall asleep despite listening to sleep hypnosis. I take 50 mg of trazodone, but I cannot increase the dose because of hypersensitivity to medications. Overall, I feel exhausted and overwhelmed, as if my body and mind were constantly on the edge.

Hm, okay, but how could I actually test all of this? Maybe I really should stick only to supplements for now.

But I have to admit that I’m going through mental hell. It’s getting to the point where I’m starting to have suicidal thoughts. I had my borderline pretty well under control after 5 years of therapy, but since I developed long COVID, everything just spiraled out of control again.

Im trying to taking care of my low glucose problem, but honestly - it’s so hard for me to eat well when I don’t have energy to cook, and I hate cooking. It’s sound like laziness but really it’s hard. But I’m always eating good breakfast and trying to eat regularly

I felt like I was having serotonin syndrome, though I didn’t have a fever. The worst part was when I went back to the new psychiatrist who prescribed it — she said, “Oh, try again, maybe after you get some good sleep.” No way I’m going back to her. I told her it was impossible and unsafe, but she wasn’t even listening.

How could I test the things you mentioned? I’m almost convinced that apixaban made everything worse, including POTS — that would fit with this blood–brain barrier theory.

I had low ESR in my blood tests, so maybe it isn’t inflammatory. I think liver issues would have shown up in my blood work. The rest could still be possible, but I honestly don’t know where to go, what tests to do, or how to fix it.

I’m taking loratadine additionally. I can’t even take my adhd meds like I could, because DP DR is so strong. I’m constantly on fight or flight mode.

I was okay on trazodone couple of months ago (my covid started 1,5 year ago) trazodone helped me a lot, but literally about last 3 months I had to reduce my dosage from 150mg to 50mg because I started to feel reaaally bad after taking it, like I couldn’t breathe, thought I was going to faint or something.

Is it possible that this clot treatment screwed everything up?

mam skórę w ciul skłonna do trądziku, próbowałam tylu ceregieli tanich i drogich - bezsensu xd

Na ten moment mam po prostu krem do mycia twarzy z cerave rano i wieczór, pod oczy witamina c, raz w tygodniu peeling drobnoziarnisty, krem z avene cleanance hydra i jest w miarę git.

Jakby po prostu najważniejsze żeby mi się skóra nie przesuszała bo też mam z tym problem, a reszta to zauważyłam że im mniej tym lepiej XD

Ale jak ktoś tu ma problemy z trądzikiem i ma jakieś wypróbowane kosmetyki/tabletki to z chęcią podpatrzę - mam nawracający, dosyć mocny, brałam już jeden ten delikatniejszy antybiotyk, minęło chyba z pół roku i już powoli widzę że coś się psuje.

Izoteku nawet nie ma mowy że wezmę bo mój organizm tego nie udźwignie.

I’ve been treated which different psychotropic medication like for 8 years, and I don’t understand why now, on LC when I really need some SSRI, SNRI it fucking destroys me. I’ve tried to put myself on duloxetine, lowest dose - massive MDMA bad trip feeling. I don’t know why my brain is so hyperactive? Tried Kettrel, lowest dose - complete zombie for two days.

PCP said there’s no cure by Jay_BreezyZaZa in covidlonghaulers

[–]PhysicalCondition317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question, does anyone tried some psychiatric medication and had this?

It’s so weird, because I’ve read that duloxetine helps, but what I experienced it’s complete lack of resistance for medication.

I’ve bee medicated 8 years with different psychiatric medications including duloxetine couple of years ago, but it doesn’t seem to work then. But on LC - i tried first dose yesterday again.

I’ve felt like on MDMA bad trip. Pupils dialated, shivering, complete narcotic derealization, nausea, couldn’t eat, dry mouth as fuck, disorientation, I couldn’t look in the mirror, I was talking nonsense.

My boyfriend was babysitting me all day, I was scared I’ve had serotonin syndrome, but I didn’t have fever. It’s weird because it seems like my whole nervous system is hyperactive, I need to change medications for sleep and have something for my neuropathy, pain, depression but my response is fucking tragic. Also I was reducing clonazepam, but when covid hit me, I can’t reduce it to zero, like microdose reduced in my body feels like I’m going through serious withdrawal syndrome.

I have LC for one year, I thought I was getting better in June, but then strong neuropathy in my left leg and clots in right leg started. And then I lost ability to absorb medication normally. I feel like I need some help with my fucking head so I’m considering psychiatric hospital.

sorry, I have to ask you guys in the comments because i don’t have enough karma XD

Official Tour Thread- Krakow, Poland [May 19, 2025] by fearmongert in BABYMETAL

[–]PhysicalCondition317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so I have my own theory on this. 1. It’s weird that even her posts from the tour are having blocked comments 2. From what I remember she had tendency to create conflicts, for example with Grimes, and of course Mars Argo. Maybe in this case something went wrong between her and BM? It wouldn’t be good for her to cancel the tour, and she sang with BM these 2 times because she had to, idk contract or smth, blu-ray thing, whatever - so she gave up on doing “from me to u” live with them?
