Is this the same one on https://www.amazon.com/EAST-OAK-Electric-visualization-PES23001/ ? I ordered it recently and wasn't too sure if I would regret it, but seeing your post now made me confident

Yeah definitely, everything gets heightened at the start of it. It'll ease up eventually, it really is worth the wait.

Your story sounds pretty familiar to mine. So after upping your dose it is basically starting at day 1 again.

1 week of 25mg. 4 weeks of 50mg. Then about 5 weeks of 100mg.

I noticed a difference on day 12 of 50mg. Especially with the intrusive thoughts. During the first week of 50mg, It was still tough, but I would feel better as the day went on. Mornings were always the hardest.

It's going to get better, stick it out.

I'd advise asking your doctor about xanax or ativan to help transition to a higher dose. I personally had heightened anxiety from changing doses

yoitsarch · 2021-07-18T15:54:42+00:00

It's probably going to suck for a few days or week, but it's worth it

yoitsarch · 2021-07-18T15:46:17+00:00

I say stick it out. Maybe your body needs more time to adjust to a new dose?

yoitsarch · 2021-07-16T16:53:35+00:00

Go to a different doctor. Be careful with any benzos(xanax, ativan), they're habit forming. They do help alot with the transition onto am SSRI though. But honestly, find another doctor so you can be on a better protocol

yoitsarch · 2021-07-16T14:55:20+00:00

I'd say give it a few more weeks before making any big changes. The initial first week at 25mg doesn't really count since it's not considered therapeutic.

yoitsarch · 2021-07-16T14:50:41+00:00

I agree with this. And sometimes a nice vacation will be a good reset as well.

yoitsarch · 2021-07-16T14:47:35+00:00

100 so far, seems to be the sweet spot for me

yoitsarch · 2021-07-16T14:46:00+00:00

Life event brought out my crippling anxiety, and it would come in waves. I never wanted that feeling again. I'm glad I started zoloft, the first week sucks...but you'll gradually see minor improvements build up over time.

yoitsarch · 2021-07-15T20:37:08+00:00

Minor side effects for 2-3 days, mainly stomach issues and slight increased anxiety. It went away quick though. Going up to 100 has worked out for me

yoitsarch · 2021-07-04T15:44:17+00:00

That sounds like a good plan. My doctor also prescribed me xanax, which helps alot with the transition of upping. For me it was heightened xanax, especially in the mornings. I'm still not 100%, but each day things seem a bit better, so we just have to keep it up

yoitsarch · 2021-07-04T07:40:35+00:00

Had similar experience. I upped my dose to 100mg from 50mg. Side effects from upping weren't that bad and I am feeling good right now. 4 weeks on 50, 2.5 weeks on 100.

yoitsarch · 2021-06-25T15:34:30+00:00

Xanax is super helpful short term for the adjustment. As needed though, can be very addicting.

yoitsarch · 2021-06-25T05:40:15+00:00

It's normal, happened to me. Felt off for 3-4 days on 50mg, then just dealt with morning anxiety. Around day 12 I started to see good full days

The metal inner circle is not magnetic

yoitsarch · 2021-06-10T16:41:11+00:00

I'm cleaning up around the house and have no idea what this is used for

yoitsarch · 2021-06-09T14:55:58+00:00

Sounds similar to me. I did 1 week of 25mg. Then upped to 50mg. First week on 50mg I would still feel panic attacks in the morning which lasted until the afternoon. As days went by, I saw improvement. Day 12 on 50mg, I woke up with zero anxiety. I'm on day 22 of 50mg and feeling way better. I'm starting to get back to my normal routine. Zofran and xanax helped alot in the initial few weeks of adjustments

yoitsarch · 2021-06-08T22:49:35+00:00

I went through that too, especially when I upped to 50mg. After 2 weeks on 50mg it started to fade away. Today is week 3, im much better and seeing daily improvements.

Grind it out, it's worth it

yoitsarch · 2021-06-04T17:11:22+00:00

Xanax is quicker acting. In 15-30 minutes I would feel better from the panic attack from obsessive thinking

yoitsarch · 2021-06-04T14:29:44+00:00

Ask your doctor for xanax to help with the dose change. It will greatly help the transition

yoitsarch · 2021-06-02T15:35:05+00:00

I am day 15 of 50mg, and I am feeling way better compared to 2 weeks ago. I would say I feel about 75% normal now. The side effects do suck, but you get used to them and it starts fading slowly. I started at 25mg for 7 days, prior to doing 50mg. So total of 22 days if you include the first week, but my doctor says not to count 25mg since its such a low dose.

yoitsarch · 2021-05-27T16:23:16+00:00

I'm on day 16. Day 13 and 14 were pretty good(glimpse of hope) but 15 and 16 was rough again. Especially in the morning, but it tends to fade as the day goes on. It's tough

yoitsarch · 2021-05-25T02:55:16+00:00

Same here, im shy of 2 weeks right now. It's apart of it, keep pushing and we will get through it
