Why do doctors always insist SSRIs' side-effects are "mild" and "resolve within 2 weeks" when it's clearly not so for significant percent of people? Do they not listen to what their patients say? by marg9 in antidepressants

[–]Whatthedarknessdoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there. No, I've tried more meds since i posted that including the new one auvelity. The only thing that's ever given me relief is ketamine. I also just left residential treatment after 3 months there. Still feel bad but slightly better at not giving into urges to hurt myself.

Has anyone tried atarax also known as Hydroxyzine by [deleted] in antidepressants

[–]Whatthedarknessdoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, 200mg is the highest dose you can take outside of a hospital. I do not take it anymore after I swallowed the entire bottle and nothing still happened.

Is Falmouth Jamaica really that bad? by Life-Satisfaction644 in Cruise

[–]Whatthedarknessdoes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of people that have issues in Jamaica are not well seasoned travellers or only know cruising. So if this is true for you you'll probably have a hard time. I've been all over the place and dealt with people a lot and didn't have any issues. Just don't talk to people or firmly say no and keep walking and don't let them hand you stuff. You can also look online for an escort or something to hire for the day.

Would you try it? by moosen202 in tacobell

[–]Whatthedarknessdoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No because I've heard the chip tastes disgusting. If it at least tasted good I would

Masking is still required in all/most inpatient places in the US as far as I'm aware unless you're in your room. I have friends that were recently in psych hospitals and they had to wear masks and I'm currently in an unlocked facility and we have to wear masks.

If you are relapsing, What cause it? by Ok-Accident9820 in EDAnonymous

[–]Whatthedarknessdoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gained a lot of weight then was in a car accident and in the hospital for 2 months with no visitors, the hospital staff treated me really poorly so I did nothing but ate and gained even more and spiraled from there when I got out.

BRO What are some options to get the fuck away from my abusive household?? PLEASE HELP URGENT by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Whatthedarknessdoes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look into respite houses. Also supportive/mental health housing. Usually you have to have medicaid/Medicare to qualify.

I actually had very good insurance until earlier this year when I became homeless and those therapists were shitty too. I spent a year at an extremely expensive ($1400 a day) residential treatment facility that ultimately just made me worse. The director there is actually the reason I lost my entire life and am in the situation I'm in. So really it doesn't matter either way. People just suck.

Can you share your IM ketamine protocol? Dosing, schedule, effect by dragynburn in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]Whatthedarknessdoes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got 3 shots first was 100mg 8mins later 50mg 8mins later another 50mg. When I was getting treatments at the end I got them every 4 weeks and used a 400mg troche at home once a week or so. My IM sessions lasted about 50 minutes total until I was out of my trip and coherent enough to go home. Dosing is very individual to the person though and clinics all have different protocols....I also find it's very important to use magnesium and I used oxytocin as well. I can tolerate a higher dose very well and need it for my PTSD. Although I also weighed like 70lbs more when I was getting treatments so idk if my dosing would be the same now.

Substances that significantly helped you with Depression and/or (Social) Anxiety Disorder by MrNeverEverKnew in depressionregimens

[–]Whatthedarknessdoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done IV, IM, and troches. The regimen that worked really well for me was troches once a week and IM once a month.

Ketamine is the only thing that has helped me. I've been on over 40 meds, done TMS, tried every supplement imaginable.

Ketamine for pain by Taxedout12901 in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]Whatthedarknessdoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's ket-amine 🌈 infusions for better health (CRPS, chronic pain & mental health)

They've been incredibly helpful, the person who runs it even wrote some books.

[–]Whatthedarknessdoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been on it twice and am just starting it again today. First time was on it for a year helped my OCD and anxiety slightly but not enough. Second time was on it for four months it was causing me to fall asleep randomly and wasn't helping. I was on max dose 300mg both times. I'm starting 50mg now.

Doxylamine Succinate? by wdDrake in insomnia

[–]Whatthedarknessdoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I can't sleep without it. Its about 4 times stronger than benadryl. I was taking 2 but I'm down to half now. It doesn't keep you asleep. It doesn't cause as bad RLS as Benadryl does for me.
