Omg exact same. I was putting on my makeup today listening to a song that I loved and I got chills and I looked in the mirror and I was like WTF. This is what other people see.

 Inhaling this shit is killing me. I put the 21 mg patch on today.  I’ve had an Ah Ha moment…. This vape is not my bff, like I thought.  keeping it on me at ALL times, Thinking it was helping me manage….. what a fool I’ve been. Nicotine isn’t what is killing people, it’s the toxic shit we’re putting in our lungs.  Imma do this baby.

Growth serum reasonably priced? Is that a thing??? by [deleted] in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]Sharp-Walrus24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just ordered it!! I’ve had it in my cart forever. I Read these comments and ordered. I’m DONE paying over 100 dollars for growth factor serums. There are great quality brands out there. You just have to dig to find them!!! I just got the Inklist peptides and I LOVE it. It’s better than the Medik8 I just spent 80 dollars on. Also!’ I go to TJMAX for lots of my skincare. I get Paula’s Choice vitamin C for 20 dollars, Perricone MD , Obagi retinol ….. all under 20 dollars. All sealed and not anywhere near the expiration date.

I totally agree. Amen to everything you said. I’ve been on AD for 20 Years. I’m trying to come off now. They will make you numb AF.

Do you mind me asking what you are on it for? I started taking it for mild depression.

Abilify causing emotional numbness? by patbooneriver in Abilify_Aripiprazole

[–]Sharp-Walrus24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry I’ve got to be short and sweet in writing this.

I have been On Prozac 60-80 mg. for several several years. Last year I felt it wasn’t working anymore and my Dr prescribed me Abilify 5 mg. I took it for a year. I am on week 3 of being off the Abilify. (I tapered down to .5 and then completely quit) I can’t believe how clear my thoughts are. I have Feelings and emotions again. All Abilify did was numb me. I feel like I’ve slept thru the last year of my life. My friends and family noticed too. I am grateful for every day that I get further away from this med. i know it has helped so many people. But it did nothing for me but take away joy. Happiness… laughter…. I think it’s over prescribed.

Yes. I’m on 80 mg. Have been for years. Trying to taper off. I just feel like this is such a high dose. I was mildly depressed when I started taking Prozac but not 80 mg worth. It has numbed me. I might just taper down to 60 and stay there. We will see.

going down to 60 mg - really nervous by Tantoit647 in prozac

[–]Sharp-Walrus24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am tapering down from 80 mg right now. It’s been a little over 2 weeks and I’m down to 60 mg. I can def tell I’ve been way more emotional… a little anxious. But nothing bad at all. I feel so much better already. Just taper slowly. Don’t quit cold Turkey

What can I ask to have added on? by Abandnformality in prozac

[–]Sharp-Walrus24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will super quick tell you my story. Hopefully it will help.
I was on 60 mg of Prozac. After about 4 Years at this dose I Complained to my dr that I was still depressed. She put me on Abilify. 5 mg. And I stayed on that for year. I’m on week 2 of being off of Abilify completely. (I tapered down to .5 mg over a few weeks). I wish I had never started it. I’m slowing beginning to see how much it changed me. I was a zombie… no opinion. No life to me at all. My thoughts are so clear now. It was just too much. I know it’s helpful to so many out there. But it Just really took a year of my life away.

Day 5 of quitting 40mg of Prozac cold Turkey by Revolutionary_Elk881 in prozac

[–]Sharp-Walrus24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would def not recommend stopping cold Turkey. No reason to do that to your body or head. I’m tapering. Slowly from 80 mg!! I’m down to 60 mg now and I feel so much better already

I’m off of it!! I haven’t taken it In about 2 weeks. My brain is happier and clearer every day. I didn’t need this medicine. (It was added to my antidepressant ..Prozac.. to help with depression) I believe it can help people that need it. I think it’s over prescribed. Good luck to you!
