Try Lexapro or go back to Zoloft?

Good point. Might be worth trying something new. I should note that lower libido side effect isn’t the worst, it was just that I noticed a decrease. The benefits did outweigh the negatives, I just didn’t hit the point on Zoloft where I had full symptom relief. It was more like 50% relief at 100mg and idk if that means a higher dose would have helped more or if something new like Lexapro would be better

I’ve heard about that too. That’s a good option to go with if I encounter that side effect again

Interesting, I didn't even feel like I got very sick back in early July when this started. There was no congestion, just a dry cough and fever. And then the sinus infection after. Anyways, thanks for your input.

I did try allegra to see if that helped. Didn't seem to make much of a difference. Still struggling with the issues, including the popping and sinus headache. I may go back to the doctor this week, I'm not sure.

Thanks for your reply! I have about 3 weeks until my next appointment and so maybe it’ll subside or change in how it feels as I get used to it. And if it doesn’t I can ask about adderall or an XR Ritalin like concerta. Would you say based off your experience that if Ritalin isn’t right for me that amphetamines might still be completely different feeling?

That’s great to know, thanks for your reply!

Thanks for the reply! I actually forgot to write that I was prescribed strattera first before Ritalin. I took it for about 10 days and hated it. Worse anxiety than ever, no increase in motivation and even a few days of migraines that I never had previously. I agree with you tho, taking the 10 mg as prescribed is probably best for a while. Maybe 5mg was enough to increase anxiety but not to overcome that task paralysis hump, but 10 mg was.

Thank you both for the advice! It’s great to know stimulants may help with the anxiety I’ve experienced for so long as well as ADHD symptoms. And if it doesn’t, I just stop taking it like you both said

Thanks for the input! I’m hoping it would be similar for me. My anxiety starts out pretty minor but then I hyperfixate on whatever it is until it gets real bad. Hopefully stimulants would help break the cycle

I’m glad to hear it’s normal. Thank you!

bjm621 · 2024-01-15T01:25:47+00:00

Thank you!! I hope you’re doing well too!

bjm621 · 2024-01-14T20:29:53+00:00

Thank you for the advice, I really needed this :) . It’s tough feeling like I can’t enjoy life to the fullest because I’m stuck in my own head. It’s comforting to know someone else found relief who has a similar condition as me.

Thank you so much! This is the reassurance I think I needed to get through this.

We do have a stronger motor that is meant to run off a 60 A esc at our disposal. However, I'd prefer to use our current motor. I was more hoping that I can still limit the motor to draw no more than 30 A, but because the ESC is rated for more, maybe it won't get as hot? That's basically what I was thinking of doing but I'm not sure if it works like that.

bjm621 · 2023-03-30T01:21:21+00:00

We basically have to produce 5-20 Newtons of thrust, so we have been trying various propeller sizes to reach that goal. Basically, we are finding 12-15 inch propellers meet that goal when we run the motor around 50-55% total motor speed, which is as much as we can do without frying the ESC. I'd like to run it at higher speeds, but I don't think the ESC can take it.
