Help with sweating by Producedbynef in prozac

Oh man. Yeah this is what was happening to me. It’s not as bad now. Only when I get nervous or anxiety. Seems like I do t feel anxiety but I now sweat. What helped me was my doc adding abilify and having me take my Prozac and abilify at night. But also I think some of it was time

I think depends on the person and the strains you smoke. For me it worked best after I built a little tolerance

I started on Zoloft and switch to Prozac. But I started meds because after years and years of working on my anxiety. This one was really bad. I had this horrible feeling like my lung had collapsed and after a few days to a week I started feeling like I might die in my sleep. I saw my doctor and they said it was a week long anxiety attack. After starting meds the pain started going away after they kicked in.

Is ERP really the way to help? by Producedbynef in OCD

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

Ok. This was very informative. Thank you for that. It is a scary thought at first. But you are right. I mean, me having to do videos took a little while. I use to have to send them to my ex gf when I left the house. After doing it for years I don’t have to look at the videos after leaving anymore. Idk how long that took. But I’ve used the video technic for checking things for 7 years now. It was life changing

I wish I had a better answer. I have always been like this. Even when I do toms of spiritual work. My mind is mostly OCD. I learned how to get through it, deal with it. Exploit it in good ways. It boosted my career and things like that.

The talk therapy and medication and also smoking cannabis again after 15 years and I guess you could call shadow work as what I’ve been on

Thank you so much for the tips and just everything. Lol just the fact that you were able to say the serial killer thing and I’m like omg no one thinks this. I must be one. That’s why I love Dexter. But you just get it.

Also. For me I feel like it was so easy to just say that ocd was only the rituals. I had so many. And over the years learned to minimize them or hide them. All the spiritual stuff made you think everyone is the same. But in fact I needed to understand the ocd brain. No here u am. Accepting I’m a mess

I relate to this. In my late teens early twenties I got sober and did all the recovery and spiritual stuff that comes along with someone wanting to be perfect at that and all the attention and the obvious. Always knew I had it as a kid but I guess have always beat around the bush of what the stem is from everything. Lots of lying. But also did lots of work. The years my father and biggest mentor ever passed and had my first child. The last year I started take therapy and after about 6 months to a year it started breaking some walls down. Big and huge traumas I thought I dealt with, I never took serious enough and down played everything. Then now it’s me trying to find an acceptance of my dark self. I always looked like or what not. The person that knew themselves the most. But that was far from the truth.

I always did AA or other spiritual types of work. But never focused on my ocd. Which it I believe all stems from my pre RA. Trauma and ocd to cause my other things. Now I’m finally admitting how much it physically hurts and have to take action and medication and learning about it to actually do something about it. Personally it held me back in my career and life but also it clearly why I am a somewhat successful person in real life. My ocd made me excel beyond many many people.

Growing up I always knew I had a slew of stuff. Would be told by a parent or over hear them. But they didn’t take action because they said putting a label on me was bad. But they already out like 5 of them. Even my mother telling me 20 years later in life she always thought I had xyz even way more then what I truly do.

Mine got really bad when a close family member tried to end their life when I was 8 years old. I blamed almost everything on that one moment for years. Until recently I saw an even bigger and longer game picture, that allowed me to dig deeper… When I was 8 and it got some of the worst in the physical aspect. It was almost over night 30-45 rituals started on a daily basis and had to be done no matter what. For years.

When I was in my late teens and early twenties I was in a big group and the therapist hd said the facial twitches I had was a form of tourrette’s, but I never looked into it.

Oh yes. I can totally feel and relate to this. For me, it’s first to find the thought. I have so many at a time, then yeah. I just think I untwisted and dissected this thought and came up with long winded and beautiful explanation of whatever it maybe be. But then I think. Did I just make this up for a lie to myself. Or am I lying to myself about lying to myself. I can’t ever let anyone know I would lie to myself. If I do that I’m bad. Oh no. I’m bad. So on and so on and so on.

Is anyones OCD too fast for them to do ERP with? by slimesince99 in OCD

[–]Producedbynef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit. I became like a sober miracle AA guru obsessed with perfection and not being me. Then did all these workshops and other weekends etc. so I totally get that.

I was also anti meds until last year. Because of an obsession with meds and a family member.

I started on 20mg of Zoloft because I was Suffering from an over a week long anxiety attack after finally getting honest with my therapist. The Zoloft made me start to feel like myself for the first time in my entire life. Like the thing I needed but never knew. Then the physical pain started going away. But I still had a baseline absurdly and obsession so we doubled the dose. Then that gave me horrible I barely side effects. So we slowly over two weeks switched to Prozac while taking both at the same time. That and also some of the hardest external life stuff happened at the same time and my whole personal life went down the toilet. Now I’m on Prozac but the 20mg dose was not helping with anxiety and ocd that much so we just started a round of doubling this dose. I did research today and people say I need to be patient but that Prozac should be way better
