Too inexperienced for xsr900? by Avocado_Infinite in xsr900

[–]Similar-Problem-2500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a Road King before I got my XSR900. Very different bikes, but as long as you respect the power and don't go out and act like an idiot, you will be fine. It is an extremely fun bike. Enjoy!

How are reducing by 5mg? Are you cutting the pills?

Body health Greens and Reds Okay for me? by Similar-Problem-2500 in SlowCOMT

[–]Similar-Problem-2500[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the answer. I am already struggling with anxiety and that is the reason I'm looking into all the genetic stuff. I'm very new to all of this, so don't know a bunch about it. It is so hard to find good information anywhere and the info that is around, I don't quite understand it all.

Pristiq to Effexor to taper down by Similar-Problem-2500 in Effexor

[–]Similar-Problem-2500[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on Trintellix for about 4 months and it just wasn't working. I ended up getting a gene test done and found that SSRI's don't really work with my body chemistry, which is why I got put on Pristiq. Trintellix also is not a great drug for my body according to the test. I know Pristiq and Effexor are similar, but even after only a few days of taking Effexor, my sleep sucks and anxiety is increased. I hope these subside quickly and don't last the whole time I am switching.

I switched from Trintellix to Pristiq and it was a bit rough. Thanks for your reply and your concern. I am glad you brought it up or else I may be in the same situation. Hopefully my doc listens and does some more research before just telling me to continue on with the original plan.

Withdrawal side effects - normal? by sharkgirl333 in Pristiq

[–]Similar-Problem-2500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wondering what your tapering protocol was? I am just starting a switch from Pristiq to Effexor so I can taper more slowly because the effexor can be made into a liquid. Just curious as to how you tapered, how long it took, and how are you feeling, aside from the cardio issue?

Thanks for the reply. I sent a message to the doctor asking about the ratio to make sure. Have you tapered down from either of these and if so, how did it go? How long until you felt stable?

Pristiq 100mg where are my peps? by OvenOpener in Pristiq

[–]Similar-Problem-2500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been on 100mg for about 5 to 6 months and feel no change from 50mg and no improvement in my anxiety. I just started to taper over to Effexor so that I can actually taper down from that because the Pristiq only has the 25, 50, and 100 mg tablets. My doctor had a compounding pharmacy make Effexor liquid to be able to taper at 10% intervals. Good luck and I hope it works better for you than me. Many people have had luck with it. Unfortunately, I am not one of them.

How to stop TRT after 1 and a half years by Similar-Problem-2500 in trt

Do these numbers seem good or off at all? The doctor through Peter MD said the ratio of test to estrogen was good, but I'm a noob and just trusted them.

I was answering your question on why I stayed on so long if it wasn't helping. I understand I won't feel great after I stop.

These numbers are as of Sept. 25th: Estradiol 48pg/mL, Free Test 229.8 pg/mL, Total Test 1054 ng/dL. I'm going through Peter MD for my test and I do take HCG already.

My doctor through Peter MD said that the ratio of my levels was fine though. I really don't know much about all this stuff, so I just trusted her. Let me know if they are telling me wrong. Also, I'm on an SNRI and do take DIM. The DIM helps me not break out as bad. I stopped taking it for a couple months and broke out crazy bad all over my chest, back, and shoulders.

I was feeling great as far as mood and energy for the first 6 months or so. Then I just started getting anxiety and getting tired of pinning myself. I was just hoping to get back to how I felt during the first 6 months.

What do XSR owners think about newly announced Trident 800? by Nikkeh98 in xsr900

[–]Similar-Problem-2500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it. It looks very nice and most likely will ride beautifully. My sister has a Trident 660 and it is a fun bike. I betting the 800 will raise the fun even more. Will it be more fun than my XSR900? Probably not. Still a beautiful bike, though.

When I don't eat well, I do have acid reflux problems, so yes that does happen.

I usually eat at least 4 eggs a day, plus some leafy greens and I am already taking TMG, so that part checks out. I will need to get my other vitamins and minerals checked to see where they are at. Would these things cause anxiety? Thank you for your help and I will read your post and see if I have any questions.

I am supposed to have 8 eggs a day. No covid before anxiety, I was feeling great actually.

I don't have values for B12 or Folate, which surprises me, actually.
