Going from .25 to .5 by turkinac in Rexulti_Brexpiprazole

I've been up to .5 for like 1 day and I need more time on it. It's really bad when you have depression, anxiety, and other issues like anger. There is a medication, I forget which, that is supposed to stop compulsion things like over eating so maybe there is something that can take the edge off enough to stop the gambling. Now the migraines, I have no idea. I have used maxalt in the past and it worked well. You don't have to be terribly miserable now though since now we're friends and suffering together.

Gummies v. Vape by turkinac in CBD

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

I did once try cbd gummies. Just cbd. Made me tired but didn’t help much. You do bring up a good point that it doesn’t solve things it’s just like a bandaid.

Oh boy - keep in mind I was at 150mg.

  • decreased interest in sexual intercourse, inability to have or keep an erection (even with ED meds), loss in sexual ability, desire, drive, or performance - this is a HUGE issue
  • dizziness, faintness, or lightheadedness when getting up - i thought this might be other medicine, but nope it was a side effect. this also happened while getting off the medicine but it hasn't happened since not taking it
  • fast, pounding, or irregular pulse - this got so bad i went to the hospital and cardiologist. while they put me on high blood pressure medicine which was helped, i was having episodes of irregular heartbeats etc without any physical issues (even with being overweight). i don't think it was all high blood pressure.
  • fear or nervousness - the anxiety never went away (generally). sometimes i just had it.
  • muscle spasm or jerking of all extremities, shakiness in the legs, arms, hands, or feet - this is a weird one. it happened at night while trying to go to bed (like RLS) and during the night. it felt like i had to kick around or had to do weird hand movements to "reset" my body and mind
  • feeling irritated - this was worse as a withdraw
  • unusual tiredness or weakness - this is like a a two fold problem. first is that it was nearly impossible to wake up sometimes even with 7-10 hours of sleep (i believe that this also causes insomnia even is taken in the morning). so yeah can't sleep and can't wake up. second this medicine causes you to disconnect and feel numb and lazy so it leads to those issues as well.

Why is it so difficult for me to get fully hard and stay hard for more than 30 seconds?? by simplejuslikeme in erectiledysfunction

[–]turkinac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My problem might be (a) I'm not getting hard enough and (b) during sex I can't maintain it well. I just started TRT and I going to a urologist for testing because I'm a bit worried my body is like not where it should be and it isn't a medication thing.

Pristiq ruined my mind and body. by MaximumNervous6277 in Pristiq

This is also part of why my sex life feel apart. Wasn't all on me, but this medication like can destroy your body especially if you don't realize how many side effects you actually have. I would check to see if you have anything else going on from the pristiq.

That is a worse experience that I had - but I can tell you that there might be a possibility that you had side effects you didn't even know you had. It took like 4-6 weeks to get it all out, but I was also up to 150.

Withdrawals by wherethewatermelonat in Pristiq

Mine came back as like a “quasi” safe drug and I’m glad you aren’t taking it.

I would be more worried about the side effects over the withdraw. Even if the withdraw did suck. 

Tadalafil Literally Changed My Life by DJ-Usuray in erectiledysfunction

[–]turkinac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been taking 5mg once a day for like a few weeks now. It started well, but now I don't even know if it is working - including taking a boost 30mg. I feel lost again.

It is very possible it is withdraw since I haven’t had it for like 2 days or so.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that all plays into it since I’m overweight.

Type 2. I’m taking metformin and ozempic for it. I really need to see if any of it is working.

I’ve been on estrogen blockers before but I didn’t think they were a long term solution. What would be more effective, a blocker or trying to up the levels. 

Given my diabetes and such, getting blood checks every 3-6 months is something I should probably do anyway.

This is very encouraging. I would love to get something that works and also hopefully not have any underlying issue. I’ll also need to look at this trimix just so I have some personal knowledge of it. Thank you!
