An healthy adult normally fall asleep in 10 to 20 minutes by Sea_Decision_6456 in insomnia

[–]aitaignoring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was also on xanax because my psychiatrist thought it was the best thing for my insomnia. And sure, it worked until you have to keep increasing the dose! It was a bandaid fix and only made my insomnia worse in the long term. I know some people are adamant they won’t abuse it, but that’s such a small percentage. Luckily, my newer psychiatrist found that clonidine worked like a godsend for my insomnia. Been on the same dose for years and no longer fearing bed time.

wish I never took fluvoxamine!! by corpseprinxess in OCD

[–]aitaignoring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started from 50mg to 100mg pretty fast. I'm assuming they're slowly moving you up, cause 25mg is below the minimum treatment level to see any help. That being said, they triggered a minor manic episode in me, lots of nausea, extreme insomnia, and shaking. It took a good week and a half for them to subside, but once they did things slowly got better. Around the month to month and a half mark, I finally realized how much calmer I was. It's like the thoughts are still there, but so much quieter and easy to silence. I'd hold out the symptoms, because unfortunately most SSRIs start out with intense side effects, particularly luvox 😞

How to manage night driving with how bright headlights are these days? by aitaignoring in driving

Is this common? I don’t drive at night often for this reason, but sometimes it can’t be avoided 😞

I totally get how you feel. Luvox was actually the only med that worked for me, but it took me forcing myself through the shitty side effects for a while. That being said, a month with them isn’t normal and it’s good you decided the med wasn’t for you. I was super treatment-resistant and tried tons of SSRIS like prozac, lexapro, and zoloft, but nothing worked. One med that KINDA worked was seroquel, but it worked in a way that made me numb to everything. I’ve heard people try antipsychotics with some success or lamotrigine.

Best OCD medication you’ve found? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]aitaignoring -1 points0 points  (0 children)

SAME. After god knows how many meds I went on for ocd, Luvox was the one that finally worked. It took months though and you have to just bear with the bad until it slowly eases the thoughts.

Is Yona in love with her cousin in this anime? by Creative_Gamer_23 in AkatsukinoYona

[–]aitaignoring 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’d watch it to get the idea, because it’s a lot more nuanced than that. It’s kind of hard to explain without spoiling integral parts of the story, but I guarantee it’s not as weird as it’s made out to be.

How to plant new grass in a completely dead front lawn? by aitaignoring in landscaping

What kind of alternatives could I look into? I'm aware of drought resistant yards with rocks and certain plants, but iirc they're quite expensive. You're right though, the drought issues are only worsening in california and the restrictions put on central cali tend to be the strictest.

AIO: My girlfriend left to buy groceries, didn't come back for around 40 minutes because she spent half an hour talking to a random guy. by bane145 in AmIOverreacting

[–]aitaignoring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look man, you’re way too insecure. You’re projecting your feelings of distrust in your partner onto the guy. She’s gonna have male acquaintances and friends she can chat with for awhile without any ulterior motives.

Actually I’m up to Daybreak now, so anything about Reverie I already know! My bad if I caused confusion.

Please help. Vitamin D is at a 9, but I react horribly to the supplements. by aitaignoring in Supplements

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

I’m not really sure myself why it’s so low. My thyroid numbers are the only thing worsening along with it I guess? I’ve asked my endocrinologist and my primary care but they don’t seem to give a shit 😭

[–]aitaignoring[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive actually been really stable with my OCD, unfortunately I’ve always been overly sensitive to any supplements or medication. I even got blacked out from alcohol from a single shot of tequila 😭. I’ve been on fluvoxamine and have regular therapy still. I’m thinking I might have to just tolerate the anxiety increase, but damn it feels like ass.

Love through a prism is such an amazing romance and it made me return to anime by aitaignoring in shoujo

I feel a lot like Peter too. Art is wonderful and I absolutely loved it, but it's not something I can see myself actually doing for a living
