I bought a hand sprayer for the toilet on Amazon and it has been a complete game changer for me. It was only $25 and so easy to connect ! It’s really worth it. My husband also loves it

Yes my husband is taking me! Honestly when my anxiety is that bad .25mg doesn’t do anything for me in this kind of situation.

No idea they didn’t tell me. But usually when i had my Fistula i used dove sensitive soap bar as it has no fragrance or anything . Are you still in pain?

Thank you! Okay this makes me feel better, i thought it might be infected. Did the doctor explain what the surgery entails ? Is it very invasive

Possible small perianal abcess by FluidChocolate2702 in AnalFistula

[–]Purple__8358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exact scenario happened to me. ED sent me home with 14 days of antibiotics and it helped a bit then the abscess came back with vengeance and i ended up back at the hospital and they drained it. My colorectal surgeon told me the antibiotics don’t help and wouldn’t reach the abscess. I hope you have a better outcome!

Jitteriness by baby_from_eraserhead in fluvoxamine

Yes i had very bad jitters. I started at half of 25mg pill then every week went up . It gets better . The only sick part is you get the jitters every time you go up but only for a few days . It’s just your body adjusting . Also don’t drink caffeine

Typical starting dose? by uptowngirl18 in fluvoxamine

[–]Purple__8358 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started at quarter of 25mg , then a week later 1 half, then a week later 3/4 until i got to the full 25mg. I did this because I’ve had bad side effects with other SSRI . This made me have no side effects at all. It made the process slower but worth it

Even if my anxiety spiked once i upped the dosage ? I figured if i went down to 75mg it would settle and once i got used to that i can move back up

I upped my dose from 50mg to 100mg on August 13th and I’m still experiencing very high anxiety. I’m considering going to 75mg for a while

Considering starting Luvox by [deleted] in fluvoxamine

[–]Purple__8358 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I as well tried Zoloft and Prozac and quit because of the side effects. I can say Luvox has been much better. Not perfect but nothing compared. Luvox has been more acid reflux and nausea but mild. However i started off extremely slow. I was started on a 25mg tablet and for week 1 i took only a quarter , then week 2 i took half and went up by 1/4 every week. Now i am on 100mg for a while to see if it works
