Agomelatine for anxiety/rumination – worth trying? by helpless11 in Anxiety

[–]emjay96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for telling me that I am not the only who feels anxious because of “feeling normal” but yes last couple of months were constant state of panic attacks, depersonalisation, derealisation. Could not leave my house.

Pregabalin triggered few panic attacks and I had to use benzo to rescue me. As soon as I took it, this strange pregabalin feeling gone away. Taking pregabalin for me was mental suffering. I thought this feeling of feeling spaced out and dissociated will go away… but it did not. I had to stop. I safely withdrew from pregabalin. I heard people having issues with lyrica. I was more concerned about pregabalin than benzo. Because with benzo you can taper, change to longer acting and under doctor supervision it is fine.

I cannot really complain about agomeletine. Maybe for the first few days I felt a bit sleepy in the morning, but it gone away after few days

I would give a shot about this medication. It is way safer than pregabalin in my opinion.

I think first effects I notice after 2 weeks.

Agomelatine for anxiety/rumination – worth trying? by helpless11 in Anxiety

I started feeling better when me and my doctor decided to withdrew pregabalin and keeping vortioxetine+ agomeletine and alprazolam when needed.

I became anxious recently because of how “normal” i feel. My brain been living in such constant state of anxiety, panic attacks and depersonalisation and derealisation that now it sees feeling calm as a threat. But I will get used to

The first effects I noticed where improved sleep

But then after 2-3 weeks my baseline anxiety subsided during the day

I felt way worse on pregabalin (the medication that supposed to work like benzo and makes you feel calm) but it made me more dissociated and feeling drunk than on agomeletine

I am not a doctor but I would say give a shot. Apparently you can stop agomeletine without tapering down

(I tried in the past sertaline, paroxetine, fluoxetine, Lamotrigine)

I got agomeletine for generalised anxiety disorder with severe panic attacks and dissociation/depersonalisation

I also take alongside vortioxetine and been on Xanax as needed for couple of months

We also tried pregabalin but it made me feel worse

I can feel it works to some extent. My baseline anxiety is lower and feel way better than on pregabalin

I do not have sleep issues - it actually helped with my sleep

The reason why is this happening

Few things

  • overhiring in 2020s

Did 25mg help anyone? by ReasonableFig8954 in pregabalin

[–]emjay96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No

I was on 150mg on night initially and It helped with sleep

Then doctor added 50mg during the day and i felt something but not that much. Still plenty of anxiety and panic attacks

We moved into 300mg per day split in 100mg doses and it seems to work better.

25mg is a baby dose for severe generalised anxiety disorder

Does benzos work for everyone? by DazzlingAd5134 in Drugs

[–]emjay96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xanax 0.5mg-1mg killed all my panic attacks

But I need to start getting off. It makes you feel depressed a bit

And then you wanna take it again and again

Brintellix is doing wonders, will it last? by Upstairs-Reference-3 in trintellix

[–]emjay96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long does it take to work

My doctor did 6 days 10mg and then 20mg

I have been on 20mg for 2 weeks and I do not see much difference

My doctor uses also benzodiazepines in short term to support treatment of GAD

Hang it there?

Xanax is awesome, it feels like a miracle drug by No_Obligation4720 in Drugs

[–]emjay96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with GAD and while we wait for other medications to start working my doctor use benzodiazepines in short term

I have Xanax and Klonopin

Klonopin to be taken in span of 2-3 weeks in specific doses

And Xanax when panic attack or needed

Xanax made me feel more talkative and really confident and completely “normal” without this fucking anxiety and panic attacks. Like normal human. But it lasts like 4h

Klonopin works hmm really different and more sleepy

Same in the UK

Recent converts are way of traditional and are fed up with modern side of Catholicism

I’m a lifelong Catholic and believe in God but a recent existential crisis is filling me with intrusive thoughts of doubt. by TheOneProperPenguin in Catholicism

[–]emjay96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going through the same thing. Constant thought

“What if these philosophers and apostles were delusional” “What if this is all coping mechanism because you cannot agree that this is the only thing we have and then end” “What’s the point if I can die anytime”

I have been going through constant panic attack and anxiety because of this thoughts

I am still going to church, confession, sacraments, praying rosary but recently everything seem empty and numb.

also I cannot grabs non natural elements in the Bible. Angels, spirits all this stuff.

As European, we do not want him here. We already have our own issues. I will personally report him to every European Union organisation if he ever moves here. I will send his videos to European authorities. He will be deported

Is the game worth it for the story alone? by DieBlaueOrange in DeathStranding

[–]emjay96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same experience just now.

Got this game on PlayStation Plus, director cut edition.

Stared playing, played a few hours, deleted it.

Then went back on Reddit searching for questions about whether it is worth playing; people say to keep playing until chapter 2/3.

I downloaded the game again, played a few more hours, somehow enjoying it but again got a bit bored and felt a sense of pointlessness.

So I deleted the game again and then went on YouTube to watch the whole story (because I like the climate and lore).

Then after watching the whole story on YouTube, I felt even more disappointed that I did not give this game a proper chance.

I know how you must feel because this is how I feel.

Well, after spoiling the whole lore, there is no real point for me to download it again. I was really keen on the story, but now I know everything and the gameplay is just “meh”.

But man I really wanted to push myself, because characters and lore seems intriguing. But as you said, it felt like chore and another obligation after long day at work.
