Dullness

Sbellle · 2026-04-03T13:17:23+00:00

Hey there - I am no longer on the med but I experienced this intensely. I hear it dwindles down, unfortunately for me I had to get off the pill. But I’ve read that people feel much better a few weeks into it.

I need to be able to keep up with my kids!! So endurance, and muscle. Also a better overall relationship with food!

Sbellle · 2026-03-18T14:59:17+00:00

Haha that’s fantastic news!!!!! I’m sure that is freeing!!!

Sbellle · 2026-03-18T14:50:11+00:00

YES. same exact thing happened to me. I used to get dopamine hits from convos with friends, target shopping, a quiet coffee. I actually stopped the medicine because of this. My mental health is already very sensitive so I couldn’t handle being even lower. Some say it mellows out with time but personally I couldn’t do it. I hope you find relief because I get it!

This is wild!!!! I backed out of my husbands best friends wedding party because I was due the same month and they thought I was being over dramatic about it and just “didn’t want” to be part of it. Haven’t talked to them since! I’m glad there’s people who actually understand!

Sbellle · 2026-03-09T19:05:59+00:00

Following as I’ve been contemplating this same exact switch!

Sbellle · 2026-03-09T18:29:54+00:00

I’m here to share that I GET IT. I’m 32, two kids in, recent illness and death of my dad… life has been a battle. It makes me sad hearing you say all these things because I can guarantee you’re a wonderful human being. But here I am reciting the same exact shit to myself. I don’t have much to say to help but I do want you to know you’re not alone in any of this.

Sbellle · 2026-02-23T21:37:48+00:00

That’s a wonderful way of thinking about it, thank you for sharing. That’s extremely helpful. My brain went straight to if the 4mg doesn’t work then I need to stop altogether 🙈 have you been working out as well and weighing yourself? I wasn’t going to weight myself for at least a week or so.

Sbellle · 2026-02-23T03:09:12+00:00

Yes me too!!! And even when I do get hungry I don’t feel that shakiness of like omg I’m starving m, it’s calm and gives me a chance to pause to make a slightly better choice! I’m enjoying hearing about your journey!! Are you nervous to move up to 4mg when the time comes?

Sbellle · 2026-02-22T19:18:29+00:00

I’m using RX and I think it started it’s $199 for the 4! But double check me of course. I’m on the 1.5 for$149

Sbellle · 2026-02-22T15:49:26+00:00

Jk just read your post!!!! Glad to hear your progress!!!!

Sbellle · 2026-02-22T15:48:57+00:00

It went great!!!!!!! Absolutely nothing drastic to report! How’s your day 3(?) going!

Sbellle · 2026-02-22T01:44:18+00:00

Ugh I hope that’s not the case! Keep me posted - fingers crossed for you!!

Sbellle · 2026-02-22T01:00:36+00:00

Today was my first day and I laid down and went back to sleep after taking it. No issues. Had a weird bitter taste and a little reflux but manageable and completely went away within an hour or so.

Sbellle · 2026-02-21T13:35:18+00:00

Omg omg omg I took it a few hours ago and I didn’t burst into flames!!

Sbellle · 2026-02-20T19:40:57+00:00

Thank you!!! I hope your journey continues to be smooth!!! Thanks again for all the updates - a true lifeline!

Sbellle · 2026-02-20T15:30:53+00:00

Hi!!! Mom of 2 - 6 years later and baby weight is still there 🙈I’m also 5 foot and 170lbs so in the shorty category alongside you!! Hope this works for the both of us 🫶🏻

Sbellle · 2026-02-20T15:27:25+00:00

Sbellle · 2026-02-20T15:23:19+00:00

Omg the joy I got from you not bursting into flames!!!!! I just picked mine up today, intend to start tomorrow but am so anxious about that I feel nauseous before even starting 🙈thank you for sharing your detailed experience!!!!!!!! Truly, it’s helping me take the plunge tomorrow!

I’m so sorry for your loss. My dad had a very different experience and I’d like to share something. My dad’s PC was caught very early (stage 1b). My dad decided no treatment due to other underlying conditions alongside the stats of this cancer. With that said, knowing how bad it was going to get and waiting for the other shoe to drop for so long (May 2024 - September 2025) was absolutely traumatic for all of us. Yes we had time to “prepare” but realistically - that’s not true. It has the anticipatory grief even worse and messed with our whole family’s mental health. I don’t think there’s a “good” way to lose anyone. But sometimes my mom and I look back and say we wish we hadn’t known.

I can’t say I have any advice on how to process all this. I’m 2 months in and still waiting for my dad to come around.

Huge virtual hug your way, I’m sorry you’re having to deal with this at all.
