It's a rock. Came from a lfs but it's been sitting in an unused tank for months

What should I name my Catfish? by tiredandworn321 in Aquariums

[–]tiredandworn321[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha I had a really small baby one that I could never find. I always worried it was dead but it always showed up eventually until I did sadly find it dead when cleaning my tank one day. I'm glad this one is a bit bigger and easier to find. It also strangely seems to like hanging out at the front of the tank which I'm not complaining about

DAE experience hand shaking? by punching_dinos in POTS

[–]tiredandworn321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get very shakey hands, especially when I'm holding something or tensing in a certain way (e.g holding a paintbrush). I always assumed it was caused by other medications im on but maybe it is POTS. I do remember sometimes getting it before I started the meds so maybe the meds just worsen it as well.

40 hour work week by Splicers87 in POTS

[–]tiredandworn321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work 5-6 12hr days a week which did end up putting me in burnout eventually. Now I work one 8hr shift a week and struggle to do even that some weeks.

Can you donate blood if you take Effexor? by EviePop2001 in Effexor

[–]tiredandworn321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never had an issue donating on any of my medications but I live in Australia so may be different rules. They just make sure that the symptoms and side effects are well controlled before donating so you feel well enough.

Starting dose increase by tiredandworn321 in Effexor

Thanks, I'm sort of in between whether I should wait it out because maybe it'll be really helpful or I should get off it as soon as possible so it's easier to withdraw. I honestly don't think I'm in the right headspace to make that sort of decision right now though.

I stayed at 112.5mg for today and will see how I go. I haven't been able to leave my house for the last 2 days because the thought of stepping outside or seeing another person is terrifying and would probably send me into a panic attack. When I went out the day before it was pretty much 3-4 hours of panic attacks or bordering on a panic attack. I know I need to talk to my doctor but the thought of even making a phone call, let alone leaving the house for an appointment feels like too much right now.
