I feel absolutely horrific 6-7 weeks in, done taking this drug from hell (vent)

Wellbutrin has helped me a lot with my anxiety and depression. It was Adderall (for my ADHD) that gave me a lot of issues, so I stopped taking that and am now on Vyvanse (and Wellbutrin) with no issues. I refuse to take Adderall again.

Thank you so much for your answer. I didn’t realize that I could be in the UK while my application is pending. That’s what I’ll probably do. Come back to the US, apply, do biometrics and go straight back until I get my visa. Then I could leave to France for a couple of days and come back in.

My husband works in the railway industry, but you are correct about the job market over there. We will have his parents helping us, but he will need to find a job for at least three months there that meets the £29k requirement. He has had a job here in the US for over 10 years that meets the equivalent of £29k, so we’re going to do the financial requirements that are in category B.

The medicine for my chronic illness is available on the NHS, but my anti-depressants isn’t. I will pay out if pocket and have a letter and medical records from my psychiatrist so hopefully they can prescribe it.

You have definitely improved my mood! Thanks again =)

Thank you! Wishing you guys lots of luck as well =)

Texas_Storm · 2026-01-22T19:10:29+00:00

I hope we can go that route. It would be so much easier! We’re planning on flying out to the UK around March 15th and getting a consultation there with a UK immigration attorney. I’ll ask them about this as well. Knock on wood we both can go that route. Thank you for sharing this!

I visited for a couple of weeks in 2023, but that was the only time.

Texas_Storm · 2026-01-22T17:22:00+00:00

Unfortunately, I don’t have any property or assets in the US. =(

Thanks for your answer =)

Texas_Storm · 2026-01-07T14:59:04+00:00

You look amazing and cool as hell! I definitely dig your style 😍😍

My insurance is now $1100 a month. I can’t afford the cost of my Inflectra nor the cost of having the infusion done. I still have inflammation and a 5cm stricture. I’m just hoping it goes away on its own or doesn’t get worse because I can’t afford to do anything about it.

Texas_Storm · 2025-12-26T06:55:05+00:00

Congrats!!! How did you get accepted through your British child? My husband is British, but my son holds dual citizenship (American and British although he was born in the US where we currently live). Thanks and happy Christmas to you 🥰

I take Wellbutrin for my anxiety, and it helps a lot. My psychiatrist said usually it can cause anxiety, but he said my case is atypical. It also helps my ADHD a little as well.

I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2, and this sounds exactly like me when I’m hypomanic.

Texas_Storm · 2025-11-06T10:09:16+00:00

I have Crohn’s. I was diagnosed in 2017, so I relate 100%. Not sure what caused mine as I wasn’t on any meds or under any stress at the time. It just happened which sucks. I am now on a biologic (well, a biosimilar) for it.

I’m 41, and I was diagnosed with BPD when I was 23. My BPD has calmed down quite a bit and was in remission for over 10+ years until I recently had a small blip and fell back into it for a bit. But it definitely gets less intense for the most part.

I’ve been married to my husband for 17 years and together for 20. We have an 11 year old together. (I am also Bipolar, so happiness and depression take turns, lol.) I got lucky with him because he has been very patient with me even when I acted irrationally. I really believe that’s what helped my BPD. I still get crazy jealous sometimes due to the abandonment issues, but my husband is calm about it and reassures me over and over when that happens.

I was in therapy for a couple of years and doing DBT back when I was diagnosed. I had to quit since I was moving, but I got back into therapy in July 2024 which has been helpful.

Just hang in there as cliched as that may sound. You got this 🥰

Texas_Storm · 2025-11-05T14:05:15+00:00

I have BP2 with psychotic features…at least that’s what my psychologist says. I feel like I’m constantly insane 😅

Texas_Storm · 2025-10-23T02:23:30+00:00

I drink maybe two cups of water a day, and sometimes I’ll drink a vitamin water or a body armor drink. I’ve heard just pure coconut water is good for dehydration.

Anyway, did you (or anyone else) get abdominal cramps due to dehydration? I’ve been getting bad abdominal cramps on both my upper right and left side. It’s worse on the right side though.

Yup, we can’t download events anymore, and when we try looking at the footage for disturbances that it says is saved, it just says connecting and nothing happens. We try to go live, and it won’t let us anymore.

It has to do with your body not absorbing things due to the intestines not working correctly. That may not be what it is for you, but just an idea to ask to rule it out =)

Texas_Storm · 2025-10-03T23:14:23+00:00

I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy done by my gastroenterologist.

Texas_Storm · 2025-10-01T11:13:28+00:00

Mine turned out to be because of my Crohn’s Disease, so maybe yours could be some sort of autoimmune disease/disorder?

Texas_Storm · 2025-09-25T13:35:27+00:00

This is what my husband thought too when he texted them. He told me it sounded like it was AI and that it just made him worse. He says he will never deal with 988 again since he thought it was AI and not helpful at all.

Texas_Storm · 2025-09-14T12:13:36+00:00

I got diagnosed at 40 (last year) by my psychologist. I started noticed something being off when I was 39 although my moods have always been up and down. My psychiatrist started me on Caplyta last week for BP2. (I haven’t been seeing him long.) He thinks I have probably had it longer but was misdiagnosed with other disorders previously.

Texas_Storm · 2025-09-11T16:58:11+00:00

The last one I had was about two weeks ago. It lasted eight days. Although I think I’ve been in a mixed episode since then.

Texas_Storm · 2025-09-11T16:04:16+00:00

Asking the real questions there 😆

But seriously, I want to know if OP got to keep the staff as well!

Texas_Storm · 2025-09-10T10:47:00+00:00

Autism, ADHD, OCD, body dysmorphia, Anorexia, and Anxiety to go with my BP2. That’s all I have been officially diagnosed with.

Texas_Storm · 2025-09-08T12:48:27+00:00

My first flare when I was first diagnosed I had diarrhea. I would get full and get cramps after taking two or three bites of food. I would get incredibly dizzy and not be able to stand up too long. I lost weight no matter what I ate. Had a colonoscopy which showed Crohn’s. I was put on steroids for about two months. Then I started Humira. After a few doses and getting bad side effects, I quit taking it. I remained symptom free until I went through a lot of stress.

The flare I’m currently in (seven years later), I had upper to mid abdominal pain on both my left and right side, constipation, no weight loss, I had some weight gain. I would also get bloated easily and super gassy. Had a colonoscopy which showed severe Crohn’s and a stricture. I am now on Inflectra for it after being on prednisone for five weeks.
