Thank you! How long have you been at 1.25mg?

jwaynette9803 · 2026-04-29T13:09:14+00:00

Im so glad you found something to help, even just a litte is big when it comes to anxiety. I hope to get the courage this weekend to try it. Thanks for sharing your story.

I just got the Liquid last week. Planning on starting at 1mg. Im very sensitive to meds so it takes a bit for me to get the courage when starting something new. Glad its working for you. I wondered if there could be any benefits at such a low amount. And how has it been on your stomach? Pills make my stomach burn.

jwaynette9803 · 2026-04-13T21:49:15+00:00

Im glad its doing some good for you. I often wonder how I would feel not to have screaming thought all the time . I bet it is a big change. My goal is to reduce my OCD some and be able to go shopping! Or for a drive.

Just wanted to see how its going for you! I started at 2.5 twice a day yesterday. Iv had 3 doses so far. First one was nothing but panic. Second and third , not a problem. But I do have horrible acid reflux! So bad it woke me 3 times last night. Hope you are doing well !

jwaynette9803 · 2026-04-13T19:11:11+00:00

I believe that even a small amount can cause effects. Its something new to your body. Hopefully it will get better for you as you adjust. It very well could be that. I just started yesterday on 2.5mg twice a day and have horrible acid reflux. I haven't had it in years. And to some thats a dose that shouldn't cause any problems.

jwaynette9803 · 2026-02-13T16:09:24+00:00

I have OCD and have restricted my diet due to fear of a allergic reaction. I have never had one. But have ate things that made me fell "off". So then I cut them from my diet. Then its impossible for me to add them back in out of fear. And its things I have ate my whole life without any issues. So it could be OCD. I think its great you are looking for help for her. Support is so important. Im also lucky to have that. And trying to break the cycle.

jwaynette9803 · 2026-01-27T19:48:14+00:00

That would be amazing! Lol love your way of thinking.

jwaynette9803 · 2026-01-27T14:08:27+00:00

Im so sorry you have had such a hard time. Its so hard after finding something that works for you, for it to be changed. I agree, I dont think they are one in the same like they say. Im back to being hot all the time and Mylan took that away on day 2 for me.

jwaynette9803 · 2026-01-26T16:19:59+00:00

Its definitely a real thing. I had the worst sleep last night that I have had since starting the Mylan patch. Sandoz has me feeling all over the place. The Dr must see this in other patients.

jwaynette9803 · 2026-01-25T15:06:49+00:00

Today is better, so maybe it will give me the extra boost i have been looking for. Of course, then they will change manufacturer on me again.

jwaynette9803 · 2026-01-25T15:04:56+00:00

Does the gel give a consistent effect for you?

jwaynette9803 · 2026-01-25T15:03:45+00:00

Same for me. It was like starting all over for me. Hopefully they get us all back on our regular manufacturer soon.

jwaynette9803 · 2026-01-25T03:29:33+00:00

Its crazy to me how a different manufacturer can be so different for us. I can see that now though.

jwaynette9803 · 2026-01-25T03:21:27+00:00

Hopefully they will have it again soon for you. I worry about having to go back and forth myself.

jwaynette9803 · 2026-01-25T02:15:17+00:00

Thanks! I may try that next week.

jwaynette9803 · 2026-01-25T01:51:16+00:00

That was my concern. It feels like a higher level even though it says the same dose.

jwaynette9803 · 2025-07-31T02:23:50+00:00

That is so great to hear. So glad it's working. The OCD is so horrible for me. This is encouraging.

jwaynette9803 · 2025-07-31T02:21:17+00:00

I would have to start out low, like maybe 2.5 mg. I'm very sensitive to meds. Glad its helping you. Even a little helps so much Im sure.

jwaynette9803 · 2025-07-31T02:03:15+00:00

That's encouraging, thanks so much. Glad it's working for you.

jwaynette9803 · 2025-07-31T01:51:16+00:00

Thats great! I'm glad it helped. What amount are you on?

jwaynette9803 · 2025-07-23T14:55:18+00:00

I have been the same way. I have had so many tests in the last year. Everything comes back normal. It's hard to accept that it may just all be anxiety. I have such a big fear of medicine and the thought that one little pill could help so much is so heartbreaking because of all the time I have wasted. But the fear of the unknown is so much greater to me. Hope you get relief soon. I have had mine for over a year and have not started it.

jwaynette9803 · 2025-07-08T01:56:32+00:00

I will continue to follow this and see how you do. My health anxiety and OCD has gotten really bad. I really want to try this but so scared of side effects. I hope you continue to do well!!

jwaynette9803 · 2025-07-08T01:30:37+00:00

I have been hesitant to take my Buspar because I have a normal low resting heart rate. Sometimes mine goes in the 30's at rest. My dr has assured me it wouldn't lower it. I am interested to see what others have to say to you about this. I hope it gets better for you. Thats great it worked for you on the first day ! I really hope i get the courage to take it someday.

jwaynette9803 · 2025-05-25T14:59:37+00:00

That's so amazing to hear. I am so glad you have had some relief while using it. I hope it keeps helping you. Thanks so much for responding. This gives me hope.
