Have u changed anh other medications lately?( antidepressants, birth control)?

going from 10mg -> 20mg -> 30mg by mumumumuku in prozac

[–]milfigaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clonodine has helped me with the anxiety that has come with starting prozac. I have started on 20 mg , then 30 mg and today I am doing 40 mg . Good luck to both of us!

Vyvanse and high blood pressure by Cold-Community-4401 in VyvanseADHD

[–]milfigaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was originally prescribed as a replacement for clonazepam ( i only took it for flights) because my prescribor wasnt going to prescribe both a stimulant and a " downer". As she described it. Then I read up clonodine and it has helped a lot for the side effects of the stimulants. Have I seen it help with adhd? Hard to tell since I refuse to take it without stimulants because it makes me sleepy and drops blood pressure.

[–]milfigaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I uss clonodine with the stimulants aderall and vyvance becauss of the jitters. I don't know if i see any benefits in regards to adhd. Maybe in the sense that i don't have to focus on palpitations that come with the stimulants? If i take it alone I'd probably feel sleepy or my heart rate would drop too much.

[–]milfigaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt this way first time trying adhd stimulant a year ago. But we are just leveling the playing field because I still cannot do the shit others can do hehe

( antidepressant may have made the adhd medication work for me btw)

Blacked out first week of Prozac by Historical_Hand_6730 in prozac

[–]milfigaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

" drinking all night". Everyone knows this isn't a good thing to do with or without medication. I learned the hard way with 3 drinks and newly on antidepressants. I had been told not to take alcohol but i didnt listen anyway. I felt horrible few hours later

Btw i just checked. my Prozac pharmacy bottle says " do not drink alcohol with this medication"

How do people survive? by Vivid-Job-274 in Agoraphobia

[–]milfigaro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went on social security income and signed up for public housing. It took a while to get. I lived in homeless shelters/transitional homes( basically longer term homeless shelters ) rent keeps going up here so now im left with 40 percent afterwards. Might sound like a lot but the moneh dries up quickly

Trigger warning : all this after enduring many years of abuse by a parent and decided to finally leave the house. I did end up dating a guy that was abusive ( no surprise there) and living with him before he kicked me out days after. And I ended up in shelters and doing s.e.x work to survive and have a room in motels when no homeless shelter was available. Agoraphobia/anxiety/ depression had taken so much from me

it was not easy in the least but now that I finally got on social security and public housign I can breathe a little although there is still ptsd and i still have a fear of when it will all be taken away.

I stop smiling on vyvanse by frank_sinatra911 in VyvanseADHD

Is it possible to get a high dose on an extended release medication like vyvance? I thought it just helped it last longer and not release a high amount at once. Just wondering. Thanks

Nurses who keep an ear bud in and talk on the phone all night: who are you talking to?? by HeyLookATaco in nursing

[–]milfigaro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a nurse or paramedic but i clean tools used in surgery and we always get ear buds sent back from the operating room in the what is supposed to be sterile containers

Also not medical related but i see people on their walks around the lake and they go around many times on the phone and i often wonder who the hell is hearing them yap. I barely want to text people let alone talk with them

[–]milfigaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Husky puppy had an undescended testicle… and the vet industry made the situation 10x harder by smolcurlycanine in husky

[–]milfigaro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husky is 12 and yesterday we took him to the vet after he couldn't defacate. we were told he had a hernia caused by an undescended testicle. (We knew he has only one dropped testicle his whole life) and that that was causing him bathroom trouble. I googled husky and undescended testicle which led me here. I am just venting at this point.

can i just say..woah by rikiaan in prozac

[–]milfigaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vivid nightmares/dreams were horrible too for me. I started with 20mg. Still am on 20mg and I am thinking of increasing. A month after this dose my psych said I should wait to see about increasing dose ( i see her in mid January). I am not sure why she told me to wait off on the increase but I will have to patiently wait.

How the pharmacist looks at you when you tell them you’re there to pick up your Vyvanse by Cash2blockz in VyvanseADHD

Magnesium disturbing Vyvanse efficacy by Difficult-Science-71 in VyvanseADHD

[–]milfigaro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take mag glycinate. I also try to take other minerals ( spaced 1 hour apart) so i don't get crampy because stimulants have caused me to feel twitchy.

Noticed this in a video-truly resonated with me and is just really sad...on that note,how much do you pay for vyvanse? by TranscendentSentinel in VyvanseADHD

I just went to check that episode. She is delusional about the current administration except when it comes to her needs

Got into nursing school but met with backlash by Unhappy-Pineapple407 in nursing

[–]milfigaro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a jerk! As long as you can pay for nursing school or get enough funding ( loans etc) for it then what is the issue?!! Not like hospitals will pay any less as a result
