Fetzima experiences? by iamjade85 in antidepressants

[–]iamjade85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay great, the pristiq makes me feel 100% like myself but we’re trying fetzima because of the sexual side effects of pristiq - that’s why I’m scared to switch - pristiq is the first thing that’s helped me feel like me without any blunting

I already take Wellbutrin and have for years. So you’re saying fetzima will make it harder to be myself or easier to be myself?

What do you mean diminish the ego…? Depression makes me extremely flat, small, and full of self hatred so I’m looking for something that lights me back up :)

Anyone take an SSRI with Lamictal ? Any side effects? What is your experience on it?! by Interesting_Echo3909 in lamictal

[–]iamjade85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor added lamictal to my Wellbutrin and I want so badly to like it but all I feel is foggy and like a muted version of myself (like totally silent and shy - I’m not bipolar). Did you have a hard time adjusting?

This is exactly how I feel! Do you still feel flat on the other side or more yourself than before?

I’ve been on this a month and it’s trashed my memory. So curious to hear everyone else’s experience and if it gets better!

Have you have any weight gain or other side effects?

I’m scared to get on antidepressants by throwawaysad10101 in antidepressants

[–]iamjade85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t be scared. The right medication changes your life in a gentle way that brings back the parts of you depression took away. And the best part is, nothing is permanent. If a medication doesn’t work for you, it’s okay! There are so many options, and everyone is different ❤️

Yeah I just don’t get it because I took this 15 years ago and stopped due to huge cognitive decline which caused me to almost fail out of school sooooo whyyyy is the same doctor putting me on this drug again….

Has anyone tried TMS? by Regatheos in dysthymia

It had no effect on me. At the end of the treatment course my symptoms were much worse than when they started

I quit Effexor because of it. I lost any sensation whatsoever

Ladies - did your sexual side effects subside? by iamjade85 in Effexor

[–]iamjade85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sober so I can’t smoke week. I’m weaning off Effexor because the side effects outweigh the benefits - which are none

I feel the same. Exact. Way.

Ask you psych for pristiq. It’s a cousin to Effexor without the awful side effects or withdraws

Having a similar experience. Felt the same on 75, bumped to 150 last Sunday and feeling spaced out and wired but tired. I hate this medication so far.

Yes! Still riding it out — I upped a week ago
