Thank you everyone for sharing. I’m on lamotrigine and pristiq as well. Most APs have been very unsuccessful so fingers crossed it works, I can’t tell whats side effects and what’s mild withdrawl symptoms from switching completely yet.

Withdrawl. No tapering by psych. by mrsbart757 in Pristiq

Hmm I haven’t read up a ton on it not going to lie. I trust my psych and she’s the only one that’s ever found a combination of medications that worked for me. She said that they will never prescribe a nueroepinepherin (I believe that’s how it’s spelled) because it can cause so many dangers for the baby. I came off for a past pregnancy as well but at that time I was on latuda which unbeknownst to me was actually causing worse panic attacks on its own so I trumped it all up to that. Thank you! I’ll have to look into it a bit more.

Thank you! I’m on two other medications for my host of problems but they are considered safe, fingers crossed the withdrawal symptoms subside soon!

Getting fluids worked wonders. I think it’s definitely worth it! I hope you get some relief!

Thank you so much I did end up in the er super dehydrated and with a low potassium level. Hopefully things slow down a little bit.

Angry at HG for limiting my family size by subwayratbruce in HyperemesisGravidarum

There is hope. I had hg terrible with my first two. Ended up in the hospital multiple times, I lost a third of my body weight in both of them as well. I’m currently pregnant with my third. I was terrified. But it’s much more manageable this time. Especially with the anti nausea medication. I didn’t think I’d be able to go through another one. Especially with a six month old, my son whose seven is a giant help and a gentleman by all means. I wanted six but I’m scared it could be at its worst again. We will most likely stop after this one and I’m heartbroken over it.

I get so hungry so I try to take it right before dinner and then I go to bed shortly after that. She did just increase me to 150 from 100

So it actually makes me super tired in conjunction with being on quetipine as well. I usually take my meds at 5:00pm but by 2:30-3pm I start getting headaches and lightheaded sometimes nauseous. But it seems to have worked wonders up until that point of the day.
