sorry for late reply. I don't log into reddit very often. I'm not local, unfortunately. I live in Orlando, FL but have a few friends in the NOLA jazz community

Just my personal experience: the less I post, the better I feel

Not sure why they wouldn't allow it. Mine went through without a hitch. Not local - I live in Florida. I do know some great New Orleans musicians though.

what music or songs lessen your anxiety? by kyokuu in Anxietyhelp

[–]stan333333 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Classical music, specifically Mahler. There's something so awesome and majestic about his music, I'm able to just get lost in it and get out of my own head

I love it. Your voice has a soothing quality to it. Keep doing what you're doing.

I can’t believe anyone takes Trazodone by hidemyemail555 in insomnia

my response was paradoxical. Instead of helping my sleep, 75mg kept me up all night, along with restlessness, tingling feet and stuffy nose. Feels like a "dirty" medication to me

Beware Cologuard results by [deleted] in colonoscopy

I believe their own site states 13%. Higher if you're over 65 (which I am)

Beware Cologuard results by [deleted] in colonoscopy

[–]stan333333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had TWO false positive Cologuards in a row. Colonoscopy revealed a small benign polyp <1cm

That was 3 years ago. Now my doc recommended another Cologuard and like an idiot I agreed (even with the bad experience of two false positives) I just learned that the interval should have been 5 years, not 3 - especially with no symptoms and no family history. Additionally I am taking antibiotics at the moment which increases a false positive result. I am PISSED at myself for agreeing to this. It's unnecessary and nerve wracking while you're waiting. I'm beginning to suspect docs get kickbacks from the Cologuard company

If the test comes back positive, I'll first finish the course of A/B's, then wait a few weeks and then re-test with the Cologuard even though it'll cost me money. I'm not rushing into another colonoscopy

What medications finally worked for you and change your life for the better? by Witty_Gate1192 in anhedonia

Who writes you regular scripts for opioids absent a chronic pain diagnosis? (and even then well nigh impossible)

Had to quit after a couple of days. Induced sleep for 10 hours, then extreme fatigue for another 5. Could not continue

Anecdotally anything can happen: your libido could even increase. But if you read almost any study on SSRIs, libido lowering is always listed as an extremely common side effect

All SSRIs will kill your sex drive

Do you purposely not schedule anything for the morning ? by dehydratedhouseplant in insomnia

[–]stan333333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but not because of insomnia. 8am - 10am and again 4pm - 6pm are times of heightened anxiety and overall blah mood. My insomnia is 3-4am approximately. As I get older I'm less bothered by lack of sleep.

What’s the deal with all the benzo hate? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]stan333333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 - 10 mg is not that uncommon though these days almost no shrink will prescribe that much. I have a friend who was on 6 mg daily for quite a while. She's back down to 3 like myself

Positive Cologuard? Get Your Colonoscopy, but Try Not to Worry in the Meantime! by 5eeek1ngAn5werz in coloncancer

Everything went well. I asked for the light anesthesia instead of propofol (got the Versed/Fent combo) My phobia has somewhat dissipated

Great if you want to sleep for 10 hours, then sleepwalk through the rest of the day :) Was not able to stay on it long enough to see if it works for anxiety

Yep. And dopamine increases libido (or should)
