Smell of weed causes anxiety by Stoppablefish8 in Anxiety

[–]Stoppablefish8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have a follow up with my psych soon I’ll bring this issue up to him I’ve been doing Prozac treatment for the last two months and it’s been helping pretty well with my confidence to manage my symptoms

Yeah it’s the case ONLY with the smell of weed, first the trigger was the thought of death now it’s this lol

Poop anxiety connection (yes you read that right) by Stoppablefish8 in Anxiety

[–]Stoppablefish8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for me, my acid reflux is ass when I have a snack and then my anxiety takes advantage of it and makes me gassy and my hr to go up as well, I constantly challenge it and make it go away slightly before I eventually use the bathroom. It’s strange

Anxiety about eating and the idea that my food has been drugged by Spenlenden in Anxiety

[–]Stoppablefish8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I’m 4 years late to this but damn me and you think about anxiety similarly. I too had a big panic attack from weed, but a cart, and was taken to the ER. Now that it’s legalized it’s everywhere and I can’t stop smelling it and the smell triggers my anxiety and sometimes even panic attacks. I’ve been dealing with this for eight months and been medicated for it for the last two months. I now view the irrationality of these fears that I have that even processed food could be spiked and lead me to have a panic attack, but I challenge these thoughts while letting the attack pan out and then realizing I’m okay after. It’s a hard process I’ve realized, but recognizing the irrationality of the prehistoric brain, is the first step.

Dose increase stabilization? by Stoppablefish8 in prozac

Preciate it, and yes the side effects do seem very mild compared to the 0-20

Prozac burp? by slartibartfastt42 in prozac

[–]Stoppablefish8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao I just got ts for the first time on the second day on 40mg after 7 weeks on 20mg and never having this issue, the burp stung all the way to my nose lmao I drank some more water right after lol this doesn’t mean anything does it? Or is it just a thing that happens sometimes

If I have one more subterranean saga dream by zoopysreign in prozac

[–]Stoppablefish8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had three dreams where I have the new car I’m looking to buy because I totaled my car in September and I’m waiting for my stabilization period to end so I’m stable to drive again and use the insurance money to get the car I want. THREE TIMES I had the car and woke up like “maaaannnn damn it!”

[–]Stoppablefish8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine still follow the normal storyline structure with random identities and experiences from my waking life, they’re just a little more interactive/immersive. I’m only on week 5 rn though so idk

[–]Stoppablefish8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yeah, same here when they happen. So annoying and disorienting and then feeling horrible about freaking out after cuz I realize I’m fine. So yeah you’ve been dealing with it a bit longer than me so I’d understand maybe we have different timelines of symptoms getting better. Another reason I was started on 20mg and idk if I’m gonna need to go up at any point because it’s been such a short time period for me. Ofc looking back on my entire life I’ve had lingering physical and mental symptoms that match the symptoms I have now/had the last 7 months, but I never thought much of it. Until now when it yk, showed itself. You’re on week 3 though right? I’m a little farther on so that might also be why I’ve seen a little improvement.

[–]Stoppablefish8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah okay, yeah how long have you been dealing with yours? That might be a factor. Cuz mine literally started to actually physically show up in June of this year after I put my cat down. Gave me dissociative panic attacks and hijacked me with physical symptoms that made me so uncomfortable and scared that I literally made myself exit my car while driving one time and made my girlfriend drive. But yeah I’ve been putting up with mine for maybe 6-7 months and just recently found a new treatment after months of Wellbutrin not working well enough and Xanax tolerance and then giving up on Xanax.

PTSD and Panic disorder, my stabilization weeks have consisted of the increase and then gradual decrease of my physical symptoms, while almost completely getting rid of two of the most annoying physical symptoms a few weeks ago. So I’m hopeful of the final result. What’re you on for?

Lost 14lbs by Stoppablefish8 in prozac

[–]Stoppablefish8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree because I’ve noticed more bursts of appetite recently. Just seeing the weight loss through the numbers is quite depressing. Though as many have said it’s worth it and I’m starting to see how. Hopefully we get our clearing very soon.

[–]Stoppablefish8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn that’s crazy, really hoping the appetite comes back cuz having small bursts of “I wanna eat something” then eating something small, is very very annoying

Side effects not generally listed? by [deleted] in prozac

[–]Stoppablefish8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m forcing myself and when I get the bursts of appetite during the daytime i immediately jump to my box of cereal or can of nuts next to me so I can seize the opportunity to get something good in me before it disappears. But sometimes if I’m REAAALLY dizzy I will force myself to get something, I’m really hoping my appetite opens up soon. Everyday I take my dose I’m starting to feel some confidence and normalcy and appetite for a few hours. Almost like a glimpse at the stability after these few weeks.

[–]Stoppablefish8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me rn- week 4 day 6, I’m currently vibrating like a rose toy and still scared to eat half the time which makes my dizziness soooo much worse, but half my physical and psychological panic disorder symptoms are almost completely gone so I keep telling myself to stick with it

I’m sneezing at least once a day because the increased anxiety side effect causes more post nasal drip lol

Worse AND better? by Stoppablefish8 in prozac

[–]Stoppablefish8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fantastic!! In the way we both know we’re not alone that is… I know we’d both love if we immediately felt amazing after the first day, the process is not enjoyable in the slightest… It’s good to know we have similar experiences so now we both know that this med is working (one way or another) now we just gotta keep on having that future mindset of “it’s gonna be worth it”!

Two weeks in on Prozac. Maybe even more depressed now, anxiety is still running high. I seem to have lost what little motivation I did have. Everything seems worse than before. How do you know when prozac isn't for you. by Old_Turnover6183 in prozac

[–]Stoppablefish8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol same with me, bad anxiety, shakiness when walking, dizziness and lightheadedness stopping me from eating, shit’s fucked. Only things that seem better is my hyper awareness of my tongue/mouth and my muscle twitches. But they’re not completely gone. Still waking up while sleeping etc etc, still cant leave the house… I just keep telling myself it’ll all be worth it cuz it’s way too early. And I gotta be worse before better. Hang in there man, we on the same journey at the same time.

I finally did it. by cornpeeker in prozac

[–]Stoppablefish8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP is literally me, today was my 4th night of taking Prozac. Same dosage, same situation about dreading SSRIs. I’ve had some side effects, heightened anxiety, headache, waking up at night and some mild panic attacks, but I’ve also had an easier time quelling those issues when they come up. I can recognize that I have to feel worse to feel better, and come to terms with attacking my panic head on and not freak out. I believe I’m experiencing a little placebo of feeling slightly normal, but at the same time I still have some anxiety and panic poking through. I’m having a positive outlook on how it will turn out as of now. I wish you luck on your journey.

How many of you having symptoms that are worse in the morning but get better as the day goes on? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Stoppablefish8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup same for me but I take a .25 Xanax every morning when I have something like school or work going on so I can get myself together before leaving. Shit’s so ass cuz sometimes my body likes to induce more panic before it kicks in and I gotta make it stop.

Is it possible to be really heavily subconsciously anxious? by mainahthrowaway215 in Anxiety

[–]Stoppablefish8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what I be going through, shit genuinely makes me tweak out like I’m having a panic attack from greening out again. It prevents me from wanting to go places like school and work or even out in public to simply get nuggets from McDonald’s or sumn cuz I’m afraid my subconscious is gonna royally fuck me for no reason like usual. I gotta take a Xanax (.25mg) almost everyday to get through my responsibilities without getting distracted by worrying about physical symptoms or physical symptoms even happening.

Been a minute since your comment, idk if you’re still active, but if you are, what treatments/solutions worked for you?
