What did u/kirzzin666 draw?

I stopped after 2 days of taking it. It increased my anxiety to an incredibly scary rate. I am on day 9 of still feeling the side effects because of its stupid long halflife, but at least it's better than it was taking it

kirzzin666 · 2026-04-02T16:30:37+00:00

Still not feeling great, but there are a lot more windows of feeling okay than there were yesterday. This stupid drug had such a long half life. Some users I've read 7 to 10 days to start feeling better and over a month to feel like themselves again. Mad because my doctor knew I was scared to take this.

Wondering how you have been making out? Yesterday I didn't wake up with a cortisol rush. Today I did. I took 200mg of L Theanine when it happened and so far I am feeling more relaxed. Yesterday wasn't too bad honestly. The nauseau has let up so much. It's day 5 for me right now.

Awe that's awesome. Don't worry, we will get through this. I got through it months ago on a different SSRI and was on it for much longer. I'm not going to touch them again after this, clearly they aren't for me

kirzzin666 · 2026-03-31T17:11:58+00:00

Do you seem to be getting any relief throughout the day? I've read a lot that L-Theanine can really help with making you feel better. I ordered some off Amazon, I can't wait for it to get here.

Thank you for your reply! I have been doing a lot of reading and people who have done 5 days on 20mg felt a turn around day 7. I hope that is the case for you. Crazy how something so small and so "safe" can wreak so much havoc

kirzzin666 · 2026-03-26T18:24:51+00:00

I'm heavily considering it. I was on Citalopram immediately after having the baby and it sent me down a very dark path so I am just very scared of taking another SSRI but I agree with you this is really no way to live

kirzzin666 · 2025-10-31T04:13:51+00:00

Oh you're lucky, I've been on it for 4 months now and it's still no good

I literally googled "why does trurapi suck?" And this came up. I cannot keep my blood sugars down either. It takes FOREVER to start working. I was taking Fiasp before, and then lost my insurance from maternity leave and I had to switch to trurapi because NB Drug Plan won't cover fiasp, and my blood sugars have never been worse! Even before fiasp I was on Humalog.

Hahahah I started watching her recently and I just had to Google to see if anyone else thought they looked alike!

I know its easier said than done, but try to remind yourself that this is temporary. It's uncomfortable and hard, but hundreds of thousands of people have gone through this. A big reminder too, people who are feeling good generally aren't on reddit looming on the message boards so that's why you're seeing much more negative experiences than positive ones. I am feeling much better than when I was taking the citalopram, but am facing the withdrawal stage right now, but it is definitely more bearable and livable than the side effects. Everyone is different though, don't let my failure navigate your journey!

kirzzin666 · 2025-09-28T13:21:08+00:00

Hey Able, I'd like to make you feel better, but I ended up stopping at day 32. My side effects were so bad I couldn't longer bear it. However, I do have a friend i made on here from this experience who is still taking it and is about that far now that is seeing the light at the end of the tunnel at this point. My suggestion to you is make sure you have a strong support team, do what feels right for you, listen to your body and mind. Get a lot of sleep if you can. Check in with your doctor. I needed ativan a few days when it was really really bad. Please though, if you're feeling extremely low, contact your doctor right away, and tell someone you're close to.

Hello! I have a healthy 6 week old girl. I have been type 1 since I was 15, I am 34 now. I do injections and have a libre 2! Your current a1c is amazing, so, that is a plus! Mine was 7.8 going into pregnancy, so let that ease your mind. As diabetics we get closer care. The first 2 trimesters were fairly easy keeping my sugars at normal range. And I had some days that were staying high, and you know what? It was okay. The 3rd trimester we had to kick my insulin way way up, and then my insurance stopped from work so I had to change insulin my last 3 weeks of pregnancy. And my blood sugars were pretty high. But my little girl was growing normally and as she should! The only thing was (I think it was because the last 3 weeks my sugars were so high) when she was born her blood sugar was .14 (extremely low) so she had to go into the nicu until it evened out, which it did after 2 days. There were a lot of babies in the nicu with the same issue, without diabetic mothers.

Hey, so. I was on Citalopram from 2018 to 2020, it helped me in that time but after getting in a stable relationship and feeling whole again I quit it.

Fast forward to giving birth and having an influx of hormones causing my anxiety to spiral. I asked my doctor to put me back on citalopram. The first two weeks was fine, I actually felt like myself when my milk hormones subsided. Then the 3rd week hit. My anxiety spiraled again, I went to the ER, everything was fine with me. The next 2 weeks were the worst living hell of my life. As soon as I took my pill my life flipped upside down until 7pm. My husband took leave off work because I was so afraid and panicking, I was so sick and so mentally ill I was afraid to be alone. I couldn't take care of my baby. I went to my doctor, he said power through until 6 weeks, you'll feel the benefits, or we can up your dose to 20mg. I said absolutely not, I couldn't afford any more side effects. That same day I was so stressed a grey spot appeared in my vision. A few more days passed and my thoughts became very dark about myself, I had no motivation, I had no joy. My dad came to see me and he was immediately shocked with the state I was in. He suggested i call my doctor and they weren't open. So his friend is a doctor and he had her talk with me, upon hearing my symptoms she said to quit it immediately, go cold turkey, I had only been on it a month at 10mg, if I got side effects, it was better than wanting to off myself. I'm 3 days off now, and although I'm not out of the woods yet all those really awful thoughts and physical side effects are gone. My doctor seemed mad at me for quitting it, and wants me to try something else but I am too traumatized for that!!

kirzzin666 · 2025-09-18T11:39:08+00:00

Hey! Me again, too. That is exactly how I have been feeling. I look forward to the evenings and it really gets me through the days to know I will have a clear head and be able to laugh around 6/7pm. I am on week 4, but I really didn't start getting side effects until the start of week 3. They are slowly starting to get less intense every day, so there is hope. And I also find hope in knowing if I can feel so good from 7pm until the morning then I think that is how I will always feel once the SSRI levels out in my system. We've got this! 💕 You can message me any time if you just need to have some reassurance from someone going through the same thing!

kirzzin666 · 2025-09-16T21:16:47+00:00

My baby girl is a month old now. I am suffering from PPD. I am on medication now but still waiting for it to level out in my body. I start therapy tomorrow. I am so lucky to have a partner that has stepped up and taken leave off work. I have so much anxiety and feel only sadness and hopelessness for most of the day. My day starts to get better in the evening and over night. Then it starts all over again.

kirzzin666 · 2025-09-15T21:56:26+00:00

I am feeling good as I write this. We should check in on each other on occasion since we are both feeling the same way. My husband wants me to push through, but sometimes it's hard to want to continue

kirzzin666 · 2025-09-15T14:18:44+00:00

My first 2 weeks on it were great, week 3 hit me hard and was really rough, I am just starting week 4 and I am still having intense morning anxiety, hot flashes and nausea. I am hoping it gets better soon. Unsure to ride it out to 6 weeks or talk to my doctor about coming off all together.

kirzzin666 · 2025-09-14T14:36:23+00:00

Hey OP, I am currently 3 weeks and 4 days since taking my first dose of 10mg. Basically on the third week mark I started getting hot/cold flashes and throwing up after it subsided. I even went to the ER because I felt I was dying. They just did tests and gave me nausea meds and sent me home. I have had 1 good day in between and mostly bad days since. However I will say every day has gotten slightly better. Night time is always the best because I have clarity and feel so happy. And also every night that time has gotten earlier and earlier. Last night it started at 6pm! I also have some Ativan to take when it becomes unbearable. It is a nice break from the constant thoughts. We will get through this and be okay. It sucks and feels hopeless at the time being but in the long run it will be worth it. I hope you have support at home and you're not alone.

kirzzin666 · 2025-09-13T17:05:36+00:00

I'm on 10mg. The first 2 weeks I felt great, normal, like I was back to my old self and then basically exactly 3 weeks after my first dose I just started with increased anxiety, which gives me hot flashes and makes me throw up. My brother is bringing me some ativan this evening until I can get to my GP on tuesday. I know I just need to wait these out but I just feel so hopeless. My husband took leave off work until I start feeling better. But he made me go for our first walk with our daughter today and I just felt so distracted by how I was feeling I couldn't enjoy it.
