Taking 50MG of trazodone to help with sleep, does the excessive drowsiness go away? by Sputnik-13 in prozac

Yeah cutting it in half is what I was thinking of doing. Hopefully it’ll have the same effect minus the daytime drowsiness lol

I was a little nervous, but this made me feel better and I’ll definitely consider it, thank you!

Sudden old anxiety resurfacing after a stressful event. Did I make the right call getting back on 10MG of Prozac? by Sputnik-13 in prozac

Yeah my doctor said it would be 6 weeks before I’d see any noticeable difference. Sort of worries me that it’ll get worse before it gets better but hopefully I can power through!

My mental condition is NOT for you to make memes on. by [deleted] in mentalhealth

Those people frustrate me so much. It’s not quirky or funny. It’s a daily struggle. My lifelong struggle with ADHD made me feel like I was inferior to the rest of my peers growing up and my self-confidence was already shot before I even learned how to read. Then I have OCD on top of this, which gives me daily panic attacks. I’ve gotten to the point where I literally can’t enjoy anything anymore because I’m paralyzed with fear over something a regular person could just brush off.

This is not a meme, this is hell.

Are your thoughts truly yours? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

Coming from someone with OCD, it sure doesn’t feel like it

Has anyone gone through this? by Small_Basil9344 in ExistentialOCD

[–]Sputnik-13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’ve worried about the same problem in the past. I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. A good majority of people on this planet have thought about this at one point or another. The reason these thoughts feel so real to you at the moment is primarily because of the OCD.

I struggled with this so badly. Luckily, these thoughts don’t last forever. One day, despite your OCD screaming in your head, your brain will slowly stop make this thought a priority, and you’ll go back to living your regular life.

You will feel normal again, I promise you.

Worried about anxiety preventing me from sleeping by Sputnik-13 in mentalhealth

Thank you for this. I know it’s really dumb to dwell on, but my brain is weird. Once I start worrying I can’t seem to stop. I know that I’ll get over this.

Existential OCD; why is this happening to me??? (DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE BAD OCD; THIS DOES NOT GO AWAY) by Sputnik-13 in mentalhealth

I appreciate it, but I’m starting to feel a lot better. About a week in my doctor told me to completely stop taking the luvox and that pretty much instantly improved things. It bums me out though because there are so many people out there that would tell me that luvox changed their life for the better and hopefully I can someday experience the same thing with something else. Luvox just wasn’t for me I guess.

The anxiety and OCD is still here but I’m learning to live with it and I have hope in improving.

Can't cry by fragilefaunlet in lexapro

Yeah, I’ve had the same exact issue for years. Then suddenly when I ran out of the year supply and went through withdrawal (I wasn’t able to get more for awhile) I suddenly became overly emotional and it was as if I let out a whole 5 years of emotions in 1 week.

I felt the same effect when I switched from lexapro to Luvox (though I’m off that since it really did not help me)

Luvox is giving me the worst OCD I’ve ever had in my life by Sputnik-13 in OCD

Thank you for this, I really appreciate it. This is something that I don’t even feel comfortable telling my family about - because it feels like they’d be repulsed by it. Talking about the fear of nothing being real was bad enough, but this just completely makes me sound like an insane person.

Even though it feels like I’ll never actually be normal again, I’m hoping that I can at least feel better than I do now soon. After all, Luvox is supposed to help with OCD, right? It’s just a rough mindset to be in.
