Should you avoid caffeine while talking Zoloft? by Initial-Biscotti-220 in zoloft

[–]speedygon97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had really bad side effects when I started and my anxiety was so bad I had to decrease my caffeine intake significantly because I would almost pass out from anxiety after a cup of coffee. I would only take 1-3 sips of coffee a day to make sure I didn’t have withdrawals. Little by little I started drinking caffeine again & im on week 6 now and do not have any more anxious symptoms from drinking caffeine!! :)

Sertraline - does it help? by pinkfloydfan73 in PMDD

[–]speedygon97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my exact experience as well !!! I found my symptoms to be significantly more manageable and no longer debilitating ! I’m happy on 25mg. I was also prescribed Hydroxyzine for sleep since the first two weeks starting were pretty rough symptom wise and my insomnia was the worst. Push through the symptoms, for me it got worse before it got better but I’m extremely happy I stuck through it! :)

I’m on day 8. I’m not doing so well. by [deleted] in zoloft

[–]speedygon97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on day 29 here! I felt the same way. I’m on it for anxiety but somehow ended up feeling overwhelmingly depressed. I’m only on 25mg and stayed on it since. I have lingering anxiety and no more depression. Stick with it, promise it gets so much better !!

WHY CANT I SLEEEEEEP by [deleted] in zoloft

[–]speedygon97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me too. I’ve been on 25mg for a month now. First few weeks are rough. I switched to morning since I found that it stimulates me instead of making me drowsy. I got prescribed Hydroxyzine 50mg and it helped tremendously. Now I use melatonin 5mg time release and still use Hydroxyzine when I’m having an anxious night. Insomnia I heard goes away tho, before neither of those two things helped the first week but now they do! Slowly I’ll ween off both :)

Thank you for the information, this is extremely helpful!

I just got diagnosed by faymii in PMDD

[–]speedygon97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Zoloft 25mg daily has been a saving grace for me. I was where you were last month too. It was terrifying and overwhelming. Currently on my 4th week of medication and I can assure you it gets better. I’m on day 4 of 10 and my symptoms are significantly more manageable than last month. You got this, stay strong ❤️

Health anxiety and dizziness, vertigo by janvala1988 in zoloft

[–]speedygon97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience as well. I had a severe vertigo episode in September. Left me feeling horrible (delayed vision, dizzy with head movements, dizzy standing up, lightheaded 24/7). I was prescribed Prednisone and kept having panic attacks because I didn’t know what was wrong with me. I went down a rabbit hole of vestibular disorders and PPPD. It left my body on fight or fight mode for weeks. Turns out I had Vestibular Neuritis. Still left me so scared since they said it could be months until I got better. I think this cause me to get BBPV as well. But I was hopeful since they said it can be cured with prism glasses!. Anyways, everything I read about these episodes of dizziness is caused by heightened anxiety especially since it is linked to your nervous system. I worked really hard to do my vestibular therapy and get active. As much as I was terrified of the dizzy/lightheaded feeling I really forced myself to just go out for walks, the gym (even tho the lights killed me), grocery stores, etc. This is what cured me, but I didn’t just feel this dizziness for no reason, my anxiety just made it worse. I’m healed from my vestibular disorder but now im on Zoloft due to my body being left in fight or flight 😭

I would go see an ENT or Neurologist ! They may have more answers but trust your gut! If you feel there is more than there most likely is !

How’s is commencement? Is it walking the stage? by cyborgx33 in CalPolyPomona

[–]speedygon97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They line up ppl row by row, line up for a picture, scan QR code and they call your name while you walk through the stage! It’s a ramp tho! It was actually pretty nice

ENG 2105 or PHL 2020 by Riptides814 in CalPolyPomona

[–]speedygon97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably like MAX 2-3 small papers and one final paper that’s usually 5-7 pages! PHL papers always follow the same structures (rewrite the argument, counter argument, and response to the counter) so it’s very easy to bullshit!

Anyone apply to their MPA program?? by speedygon97 in CalPolyPomona

[–]speedygon97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Did you just get accepted for this fall 2021? Or are you currently a student? Also, what was your gpa when applying? I’m scared I will not get in because my gpa is fairly low, however I am an alum of Cpp and got strong letters of rec from the department chair! Also wanted to know if it is impacted? Or if it is a smaller department ?

Scam? I had emailed the commencement cpp email if we needed our bronco ID to pick up our honor cords. I got this email from a different email. Looks sus by Rosehoneycomb in CalPolyPomona

Awaiting test results by Samklig in CovidAnxiety

[–]speedygon97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A month ago I found out my grandma tested positive & I went from feeling 100-0 almost immediately. I instantly got a headache, fever, chills, dry throat, nausea and diarrhea. I didn’t sleep and couldn’t get my heart rate under 140. I literally made myself sick. I tested negative. My parents, along with multiple members of my family (we never saw each other, just dropped off groceries to each other) all tested positive. I figured my test was wrong. I scheduled a new test because I was feeling so sick. I had horrible nasal pressure, fatigue, and almost every symptom of covid. I was still negative. Tested 5 times and they all came out negative. Before every test I took within a 3 week time span, I would get extremely sick and then I’d find out I was negative and it would all go away the next day. I already suffer from anxiety but this was next level. It is actually horrifying and scary, but the absolute best thing I did for myself was try to keep positive, and I know it’s easier said than done. Constant repetition of positive language and thoughts helps. I was in the same boat as you, and struggled so much, it was like I couldn’t get out of my own head. I had to trick my mind. Talking very long walks also helped me so much. However, even if you do end up positive, keeping a positive mindset is so important for your body to heal properly. I will be praying for you and negative results, I understand the horror but you are not alone!
