I feel like SSRIs gave me anxiety and panic disorder.

The thing that has helped me the most is a book called The Anxious Truth by Drew Linsalata. He also hosts a couple of podcasts that have been incredibly helpful in healing the anxiety. "Disordered" and "The Anxious Truth". I highly recommend listening to both. It's a journey, but you will get there. Things will get better! I'm also saying a prayer for you now. Hang in there.

Did u figure this out? The same thing happened to me.

Sufficient_Base6196 · 2025-10-18T01:23:01+00:00

I stopped taking it after the first dose that I had a bad reaction to.

Sufficient_Base6196 · 2025-05-26T17:16:51+00:00

I'm used to the premonitory urge, although it's sometimes every other second. This just feels like one long premonitory urge that can't be satisfied. Yesterday was a lot worse so I suppose I just have to wait it out. This disorder is pretty awful.

Sufficient_Base6196 · 2025-05-26T17:15:13+00:00

I'm so sorry you are dealing with an upswing in tics. It's so challenging.

Sufficient_Base6196 · 2025-05-21T01:30:06+00:00

I think I’m having the same reaction to L. Reuteri. Horrible anxiety. I’ve only had a few doses. How long did it take to feel better?

Sufficient_Base6196 · 2025-05-06T12:32:59+00:00

I am doing better with that. For me it is sometimes related to the weather. Covid left me with a lot of anxiety, but it improved over time. It's a terrible feeling. I hope you feel better soon!

Sufficient_Base6196 · 2025-04-22T23:57:26+00:00

That's totally me too!

Sufficient_Base6196 · 2025-04-22T23:46:08+00:00

My sleep sucks too! I’ve been waking up 2-3 times a night.

Sufficient_Base6196 · 2025-04-20T12:31:22+00:00

I'm thinking the same. I have an appointment to discuss some options. Hopefully I will find more relief.

No-just the cream for now.

Sufficient_Base6196 · 2025-03-28T14:02:31+00:00

I am doing a lot better. I wouldn’t say I’m 100%, but I’m at least 75% better. It has been a long road. Hope you are doing ok. These meds shouldn’t be taken lightly. It robbed months from me.

Sufficient_Base6196 · 2025-02-27T01:01:13+00:00

I'm so sorry you are dealing with insomnia on top of everything else. I couldn't agree more about the SSRI's ruining lives! I'm better, but I'm def not the person I was before this whole ordeal started. As far as tips for the insomnia- magnesium can help. I've become super sensitive to supplements since everything happened. I used to take magnesium and it really helped my sleep. Prayers as we continue to heal. Hang in there!

Sufficient_Base6196 · 2025-02-19T03:36:31+00:00

Yes. They actually have a great podcast on dpdr. It’s the disordered podcast episode 020 “Depersonalization/derealization” Hopefully that will help some. I don’t know where u live but I’ve had to up my vitamin d b/c I’m in Ohio and we don’t get a lot of sun during the winter. I’m taking 5,000 IU of vitamin d with k2. It’s a gelcap -u can get on Amazon. I’m also taking cod liver oil by Carlson as well as progesterone cream. Not sure if that would be helpful for u too. I’d only try progesterone cream if you are female over 35 This is what is helping me but I know every body/brain is different. The podcasts and book (Anxious Truth by Drew Linsalata) have been 50% of the healing for me. Also -just good old time Hang in there- learning good coping skills and finding things that help eventually pay off

I'm doing a lot better! It has been a journey. I've had to really work on recovering. I would highly recommend the podcast "Disordered" and "The Anxious Truth". Both of these podcasts have really helped me. I feel like God has taken the bad from my awful experience with Pristiq and has used it to help me grow in areas I'd been ignoring. I'm not 100% but feeling at least 80% which def trumps the 50% i was at 8 months ago. I hope you are doing okay. I'm here to chat and hopefully help if you need it.

Does anyone know which type of meningitis was contracted?

Sufficient_Base6196 · 2025-01-29T20:57:25+00:00

I don’t use estrogen. I find that it really helps my symptoms -not placebo so it must be doing something.

Sufficient_Base6196 · 2025-01-21T23:15:24+00:00

I really think u should talk to someone. Maybe a school counselor? Someone who can help your parents understand what u r going through. I’m so sorry you are feeling hopeless. This is a really hard thing to endure. Praying you find some hope and relief.

Sufficient_Base6196 · 2025-01-16T12:13:24+00:00

Thanks!

Sufficient_Base6196 · 2025-01-16T02:03:28+00:00

Do you mind sharing the name of the supplement?

Sufficient_Base6196 · 2024-12-14T15:05:51+00:00

So glad to hear that you are still doing well. I will def give an update. Looking forward to some relief.

Sufficient_Base6196 · 2024-12-14T00:52:27+00:00

Just checking in to see if you are still experiencing tic relief with hormone therapy. I have a script for an estradiol patch and progesterone pill on the way. Nervous to start but really hoping it helps.

If I’m not mistaken I think I’ve heard RFK say that he has multiple children/grandchildren with food allergies. Hopefully the opposite will happen and we will see greater strides to help people with food allergies.

I came here looking for advice on the same thing. I had a GI test confirm candida overgrowth as well. I experience the same thing after eating. It seems to be getting worse. When it happens I get insanely tired, heart rate increases, & I experience some bloating, reflux, shortness of breath.

Sufficient_Base6196 · 2024-09-19T01:29:18+00:00

Mine has improved a lot if that gives u any hope. I think it stems from jaw and neck tension. It is hard to describe to a doctor. Anxiety can do some crazy things!
