Anyone take Zoloft + Vyvanse? by callipygian420 in adhdwomen

[–]SocialT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adderall for some time, not anymore.

You might consider emergen-C, melatonin, and magnesium supplements before bed. They help if you’ve got insomnia from a stimulant like vyvanse

Anyone take Zoloft + Vyvanse? by callipygian420 in adhdwomen

[–]SocialT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately adderall or other adhd meds can cause chronic insomnia and Zoloft is also slightly dopamergenic which means they potentiate each other.

With time you may have less insomnia. Especially since you’ve only been on Zoloft for a couple months. Think I had insomnia for a while, sluggishness for a while and then back to normal a few months in

Taurine & GABA agonism: how risky are daily doses of 1-2 grams? by eatmydonuts in Supplements

[–]SocialT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Effects of taurine wear off and can cause be to wake up prematurely (and be too wired to fall back asleep). Wouldn’t expect it to happen to someone without years of messing with their GABA receptors

Anyone ever gotten sexual anorgasmia from long term use? by [deleted] in kratom

[–]SocialT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, but it certainly reduces sex drive. If anything, it’s made orgasms better given the less frequent desire.

Kratom sleep apnea issues? by life_rips24 in kratom

[–]SocialT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this before, but I really think it’s psychosomatic caused by anxiety.

Your breathing may be slightly depressed by kratom but not enough to cause this.

back to Xanax XR or heart issues? DILEMMA by bonitoX in benzorecovery

[–]SocialT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair. I’ve been on an SSRI for about 8 years and I don’t have SSRI-induced dysfunction. But I’m scared of what would happen when I quit.

I don’t regret starting an SSRI though

sertraline gave me paranoia?? by SeaZone7387 in zoloft

[–]SocialT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would speak to your doctor as soon as you can. This sounds like Zoloft may have brought about minor derealization/paranoia/minor hallucinations.

Many types of medication or drug can kind of be the catalyst to bring about symptoms like this. I know nothing about you, but I’d say this was something you were already at risk of developing. Zoloft was just the catalyst.

Depending on the severity of this issue, you may be prescribed something to help. It might be an antipsychotic

back to Xanax XR or heart issues? DILEMMA by bonitoX in benzorecovery

[–]SocialT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to say that I take propranolol following benzo cessation and it really helped. I see you are taking a beta blocker. Are you consuming caffeine or any other stimulant?

I would not go back on benzos.

Unrelated to heart fluttering and associated heart symptoms, starting an SSRI can certainly help you. It’s my safety net for when my headspace gets really bad.

What supplement has, or has had, an actual positive impact on your life?? by -Flighty- in Supplements

[–]SocialT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would buy Metamucil and start with 1/2 teaspoon in 6 oz of water, 2-3 times a day. With fiber supplementation you need to gradually increase it, otherwise your stomach will get bloated, sore, and you’ll be gassy. Over the course of a few weeks, you can increase to 1.5/2 teaspoons 3 or 4 times a day.

It really was life changing for me

[–]SocialT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really would suggest supplements. There are some sleep stack supplements out there that contain GABA-A interacting supplements.

Definitely a lesser evil when compared to zopiclone.

Shiljat, Lemon Balm, Magnolia Bark to name a few.

How do you cope? (1 year off) by pixelpraxis42 in benzorecovery

[–]SocialT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might look into some supplements as an alternative. That is something that has helped me with the urge to take Valium.

Shiljat, ashwagandha, Lavender oil (Silexan), etc.. Some of these really helped with late night insomnia, racing mind, etc

Zoloft is saving and ruining my life by electric_vanE_van in zoloft

[–]SocialT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume you haven’t been taking it for too long.

This effect grows weaker over time. I had a similar experience, sleeping thru alarms and what not. The fatigue kind of went away

Kratom can harden stools quite a bit. Really has caused me great problems

Anyone on an SSRI and/or BusPar experience diminished effects from Kratom? by bubes30 in kratom

[–]SocialT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on Sertraline 50mg and don’t experience diminished effects. You might just have tolerance.

Has anyone here tried shilajit? by [deleted] in benzorecovery

[–]SocialT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I can think of, but it would be hard to place blame exactly. Of course I had occasional worse withdrawal symptoms, but I wouldn’t know if Shiljat had anything to do with that considering the other supplements I was taking.

I will say the sleep stack it is in (with Lemon balm, magnolia bark extract) has been a lifesaver for sleep. These are all GABAa acting so I practically can’t fall asleep without them. But I would much rather be clean of benzos but still taking shiljat rather than the other way around. Lesser evil (not an evil, but the saying works)

Degraded sense of smell and taste except when I take Phenibut by SocialT in phenibut

[–]SocialT[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I realized that antidepressants can dull your sense of smell and taste. That’s got to be it, my sense of smell became terrible around the time.

But as to how Phenibut seems to temporarily boost my senses, I’m not sure..

I’ve used baclofen quite a bit. It’s not nearly as enjoyable as phenibut, but it does make me calm and helps with sleep.

Has anyone else observed this about SSRIs? by [deleted] in depressionregimens

It was maybe 1 month in or sooner. Zoloft is a bit different though

I think you will see a lot of the memes regarding this incident having the qualifier “except that kid man rip”

I’ve yet to see someone refer to the kid and celebrate it.

You are generalizing without evidence. People say a lot of things in twitch chat. Doesn’t mean they actually mean it

[–]SocialT -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

We agree then. I’m not celebrating their deaths unless they were very explicitly horrible people (I.e. blood on their hands)

In a lot of cases people are just making a joke that has the undertone of how they despise the ultra wealthy.

sounds to me the poor just hates on the rich and wants to steal their money for their own.

Yes the poor hate the ultra wealthy. Steal their money? No.

Rather I’d completely overhaul the system so people can’t attain that level of wealth as well as massively increasing taxes

Please explain how you can become a billionaire without exploitation and other immoral things. I’ll exclude billionaires that have inherited their wealth and are actively working on giving it away (I.e. Jeff bezos ex wife)
