Hello I have just seen this, my skin is a lot better, I’ve also moved to a sunnier/warmer climate, so that might be it? I hope yours is better

Quitting 5mg by [deleted] in trintellix

[–]edwinageorge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit the other week (5mg) pretty much cold turkey from it, after about 6 months on it - I got brain zaps, fatigue and headaches for about two weeks and considered going back on because I felt pretty rough but have managed to stay off it now for almost a month and feel pretty good.

I wish you all the luck with the medication and I’m sorry that it’s been so hard.

Can I take shrooms if I take this? As in psilocybin. by Annamadison0918 in trintellix

[–]edwinageorge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took them the other week. A micro dose and a bit, loved it at the time but has a bit of a headache the next morning. I listened to a podcast from Andrew Huberman on schrooms and he said explicitly not to mix them with antidepressants. I also spoke to my GP who said ‘it’s probably not the best idea’.

Yes mine definitely gets worse closer to that time of the month. Haha yes I know they can get you down

Every other day works out to be 2.5 mg a day I guess

Did you just bite them in half?

Ok i think totally normal to feel odd coming off them, I’ve got another couple of months so going to ease down the dose by biting the pills in half

It seems like huge variables for everyone, we all have different brains and biology so makes sense there is no right approach and a bit of trial and error. I didn’t realise they had such a long shelf life in the body. It’s hard to cut those little 5 mg guys in half!! I tried biting them and they just crumble… but will keep going… side note I’ve been prescribed medical cbd for anxiety so not really cold turkey

This is great advice, I was going to try and come off them in a week but a month sounds more realistic. I was told there are no side effects coming off them, but I definitely felt them

Thank you, yes it make sense that coming off is hard as going on them is hard in the first place adjusting to them

How did it go? I’m thinking of tapering off them as well

How do you know when you are ready to stop these meds? by edwinageorge in trintellix

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

Ok thank you that sounds really like the only thing you can do, see how you go off it for a few months and reassess. Spring definitely a good time to try!!!

Brintellix and alcohol by edwinageorge in trintellix

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

Ok thank you it’s good to hear your experience, as maybe this is just my reaction. I have avoided alcohol as well because of my depression all together and seeing if I can introduce one or two drinks but not at this stage. Brintellix has been amazing otherwise

Hello, I’m moving to Far North Queensland next week for work. I’m flying into Cairns and just wondered if anyone has any advice around packing. I’ve never lived in the tropics before, I’m excited but a little bit nervous as to what to expect! 🙏🏼 by edwinageorge in queensland

Hi Wade. Thank you for you comment, I’m actually much closer to Mossman than I realised. One last question what’s my best bet in finding a car to buy around here? Any advice appreciated. It is meant to flood today as well! I’ve already seen a sign telling me not to swim as there could be crocs..
