  1. CW: Medical, meds question

    Sanity check because I don't trust my doctors an inch:

    My psychiatric meds currently are the following:

    • #Lisdexamfetamine (Elvanse/Vyvanse): 30-40mg / day
    • #Promethazine if needed, to calm down anxiety/to fall asleep if I'm nervous.
    • Vitamin D supplements and HRT which should be irrelevant here.

    I have now additionally been prescribed #Sertraline (50mg/day) to combat my depression.

    I am experiencing high levels of anxiety, nausea and general distress as a response to the sertraline. It is hardly possible for me to live life right now.

    Is this dosage sane?
    Is it advisable to power through the side effects somehow or is this a warning sign? Any interactions here with my other meds that anyone might have missed?
    Is Sertraline as an SSRI safe to take alongside those other two?

  7. CW: antidepressant diary, day 2 (mh, ph)

    second day of #sertraline.

    couldnt sleep all night yesterday. Not sure if it's related.

    Today I've not been doing badly emotionally really, but I've been having a constant anxiety attack and very little executive function. Not sure if it's related but SOMETHING is weird. I feel shakier and more jittery than usual. I'm also cold.

    Took a #promethazine a few minutes ago to try and curb the #anxiety

  10. Any other Sertraline users experiencing dizziness and increased anxiety during these heatwaves? I’ve struggled to grasp what was causing my recent bad episodes and it appears symptoms increase during heat exposure.

  13. #Sertraline gives me emotional regulation issues but it also does a pretty sweet job of holding the #depression at bay. I know which poison I prefer.

    Makes me wonder whether I truly am cyclothymic or if the agitated ups are just sertraline side effects.

  18. If you're prescribed #Sertraline in the UK, there has been a fuck-up with packaging by one manufacturer.

    Affected boxes have blister packs of Citalopram in them instead of (or as well as) sertraline.

    Make sure you double-check what you're taking:

  22. Since halving my #sertraline dose, down to 50mg / day, my brain feels like it’s halved in processing power. Words are more difficult to find, my speech is slower, my thought patterns and creativity are stifled. I’m generally more lethargic. On the plus side I’m less agitated and less prone to angry outbursts. If only I could have all of the good bits and none of the bad. That’s not really how life works though, is it.

  25. 1/ I’m guessing I dropped down from 100mg of #sertraline to 75 around 2 months ago. I lowered the dose because I was getting irritable and aggressive as we emerged from the dark winter months. I dropped it further still to 50mg around 2 weeks ago. My irritability and #anger has subsided, to be replaced by mild #anxiety, lethargy and #depression. I think this might be a reasonable balance between the two states, although I’d rather feel a little more perky.

  28. Je crois que j'ai accidentellement pris double dose de #quviviq et #sertraline.

    Bah ma mère, ma soeur et moi, dans notre maison aujourd'hui détruite,notre ADN contaminé par des micro-organismes d'une autre galaxie, devenions des sortes d'araignées-Venoms à la fois invisibles, protéiformes et multicolores.
    Je décimais - en spectateur passif - un escadron de flics venus nous arrêter.
    Finalement nous nous enfuyions en nous envolant , sous formes de cocons reliés par des fils d'araignée, poussés par des courants d'air, avant d'aller rejoindre des filaments interstellaires pour partir vers le lieu d'origine des micro-organismes nous ayant contaminé.e.s.
    C'est pas mal, la chimie moléculaire, finalement !

  29. dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/ #zoloft #sertraline #antidepressants #harmreduction #neuroscience #psychedelics #fda #mdma #mentalhealth Was this drug studied with cognitive behavioral therapy & compared to #ketamine by the company who marketed a daily drug with a reductive cartoon? How many medical doctors prescribe this, chronically, and take advantage of patients’ vulnerabilities while on it? #adversereactions

  30. #fda says #mdmaassistedtherapy risk management would not specify any certain type of therapy — #ptsd treatment standards of care indicate cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR as current gold standard treatment — Future studies need to include current standards of care given with and without a medicine, and an active placebo (like #ketamine), compared to current pharmacological interventions #sertraline #paroxetine both with and without assisted psychotherapy.

  31. Started #duloxetine (#Cymbalta for north Americans lol) today for the 1st time.

    Hoping combined with starting + actually taking #Lamotrigine (#Lamictal - mood stabiliser) that it will help my mood.

    I’ve been off meds for months so makes sense to start the new #antidepressants now (originally was moving from #sertraline aka #Zoloft but haven’t taken it in ages lol) so might as well give it a go.

    Hoping for stability + renewed resilience/positivity but maybe a miracle ask 😂 #mentalhealth

  32. What a dreadful night!

    I've woken up #today with a headache after a fitful night's sleep where I was having weird dreams every time I dozed off.

    My jaw aches from tension, and I've got a bunged up nose.

    I'm thinking that I'm suffering with some sort of hay-fever - I don't normally, but have occasionally in the distant past.

    I'm also wondering if this #Sertraline isn't doing more harm than good. I feel a GP appointment coming on.

    Thunderstorms are forecast for later today.
