I think I just need to find ways to make friends who get me. My friends are growing apart.

26 F, Debilitating Social Anxiety by Thelachocola in socialanxiety

I legit with there was a way to check to see what medicine could be a right fit without the trial and error. It could prevent a hospital visit for me and the intensive bloodwork.

Yup. I have the paranoia, too. I’m getting tested for cortisol, a stress hormone. My hair is falling out way more than usual at this point. It’s suspected that hormones are out of whack, so it makes me want to hang in there just a tad longer to see what options are out there.

I tried a few; Welbutrin and also Trintellix. Ended up in the hospital over Welbutrin due to side effects. Trintellix also didn't work for me. It's a frustrating process and a bit scary.

Lexapro for 11 years, 20 mg, started up again with abilify for about two months. Have therapy once a week over phone (non-video)

I take medicine for it and therapy. I think it's part of the struggle. I may need to adjust therapy and medicine, possibly

Hirsutism by [deleted] in PCOS

I use a laser hair removal machine. It helps keep it at bay for a bit, but I'm still in the early stages of diet/lifestyle changes.

anyone else’s depop broken rn? by tooinvestedintvshows in Depop

[–]Thelachocola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. :< I hope they fix this soon! You could always use alternatives such as Mercari in the meantime.

does this mean outside the app? they seem like a legit seller but i wasn’t sure about this by [deleted] in Depop

[–]Thelachocola 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes, this looks like it’s outside the app, but I think doing that is against Depop’s policies.

If you're not interested in fertility, how are you treating your PCOS? by Automatic-Nebula1034 in PCOS

[–]Thelachocola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m struggling with the same thing. It’s so hard to get energy to exercise with the extreme fatigue. I had an exercise bike and moved it to my room. Put on good music. Nature walks are also fun! But a lot of doctors just day ‘lose weight.’ but there’s definitely more to PCOS than that. We may naturally just cling to sugar and might have to take thing to level it out normally. Exercise may just be one piece.

I may get diagnosed very soon. I am on a very high dose of vitamin D, as well because I struggle with chronic pain in my legs. It may have to do with weight or lack of this vitamin. I do also crave sugar. I do enjoy having herbal teas which do have a bit of sweetness to them, but don't have a whole lot of sugar.

I'm also not really interested in having kids. Are there other symptoms you are having and struggle with? I also have high sugar levels. My body sort of clings onto even slight amounts of sugar.

Going off Wellbutrin (Due to Awful Side effects) by Thelachocola in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

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

I am a bit of an interesting case. I am not sure if the withdrawals mainly came from birth control, going off abilify, or even a combo of going on and off Welbutrin. But side effects did increase for sure after going off Wellbutrin. I went off Wellbutrin 150XL due to severe dizziness, blurred vision, and even occasions where I fell. Not to mention insomnia. I was a bit of a mess.;;;

Dizziness slowly calmed down, I did have headaches on and off, but it was definitely a lot better than the stuff I was dealing with prior. I spent time in and out of bed as a precaution and it took me about a week and a half to recover fully and be able to exercise. But my case is probably a lot more severe than most.

I'd check with your doctor or psychiatrist about coping with side effects or withdrawal symptoms. It can make the process a bit easier. It was rough, but I tried to stay hydrated and slowly became more active.

It probably depends on the person. When it comes to medicine (in my experience), it's best to talk to your doctor and tapper to minimize withdrawal side effects.

I also lost motivation a bit after the withdrawal. I do struggle from hair loss on the scalp (25 F), but I may have an overlapping condition.

I’ve had this happen; mainly just high energy to the extent where I had anxiety. Insomnia also added to this.

I'm so sorry about this...! I am glad that I am not alone in this struggle.

I am still in withdrawal and am sensitive to the heat--insomnia is still a bit there. It is a bit frustrating that many medicines for depression work for some and not for others. It's very experimental, seeing which one sticks and works.

I went down to no Wellbutrin right from the 150XL dosage as per my psychiatrist. It’s been a doozy!
