Abilify 2 mg and lexapro 10mg

So I started this journey four weeks ago and thought I was going to see tons of weight drop. Honestly, I have just lost 4 pounds. I am discouraged that I am not losing weight like other people. Has this happened to someone else?

I have started taking Telmisartan 20 mg and my bp started going down like 114/70, sometimes 95/65 within 2 days. Also heart rate lowered to 50/60 at sitting, usually it was 80/90. Just curious, is it the expected behavior of Telmisartan, specially on such a low dose?

Hi all, I’m currently on 200mg 2 times a day of Wellbutrin and it wasn’t quite doing enough, so I talked to my doctor and they recommended adding Zoloft, starting at 12.5mg once a day for a could weeks and moving to 25 mg once a day if I tolerate it well.
I saw a lot of people who started on Zoloft and added Wellbutrin, but I was wondering if anyone had experience starting with Wellbutrin and adding Zoloft?

Ok, so I'm on my day 5, I did: 150/300/300/150/150 mg.
turning into 150mg Wellbutrin XL my libido is turning back again, slowly, also the quality of the erection, I was bombed during 300mg, was too much.
But the Time to Ejaculation is not improved, maybe during sex I'm feeling more pleasure (or maybe is a placebo), I can say that today I had also 2 orgasm, and the last orgasm send me in refractory period. but I have not ejaculated.
Before Wellbutrin I reached slowly an average time of 30/50 min, now is worse and I don't even ejaculate. Monday I'll do blood exams and I'll try to see if T, prolactin, thyroid are good. Any idea of way the input of the ejaculation doesn't start?

Recently Gates of Hell released the American faction and did a full overhaul of the German faction, leading to a pair of interesting factions with an incredible variety of historically authentic uniforms. You could zoom in on any of the squads and see the diverse uniforms depicted right down to the insignia on their caps and the regiments on their patches. Shermanator’s interview of Chase/Trudel (the lead animator & 3D human artist) gave me faith in the developer’s passion for the history and the game. This made me quite excited, because we have yet to see a British Commonwealth faction but there is some heavy implication that we can expect one in the future.
I wanted to make this thread, because I wanted to express my desire to see elements in the game that would make the Commonwealth faction a wealth of interesting units, uniforms and nationalities, particularly via the doctrines system that exists within the game. The intention is to throw in representatives across all the major nations of the British Commonwealth as well as some of the Allied armies-in-exile that came under British command. I also want to highlight some of the vehicles that are rarely mentioned in other games due to their obscure theatre or role. For the record, I'm not telling the devs what to do - I'm just making some example doctrines that I came up with as an example of the variety of units I'd love to see and making their inclusion plausible. Mostly to get the community talking.
I won’t talk about early war, partially because ‘Early war’ in Gates of Hell is largely post-Dunkirk, but also because I feel like what I am asking is still quite a lot just for one faction across two eras. I also I won’t be mentioning the more obvious or general units like Stuarts, Crusaders, Cromwells, Grants etc, as I expect them to be added nonetheless. It’s the vaguer aspects of the Commonwealth I wanted to talk about; the weird, wonderful and the diverse.
Mid War Doctrines
I think the mid-war should be largely inspired by the North African Campaigns, centred largely on the 8th Army and utilising the huge variety of cultures that fought within it. Extra bits can be added from the Italian campaign where the faction is lacking, and the Italian campaign can also be represented in the ‘Temperate’ skin for the mid-war faction. There are a lot of inspirations one can draw to create a variety of options for the Commonwealth player and each doctrine should draw from their unique aspects.
All-Round: Inspired by the Desert Rats, the 2nd Battle of El Alamein and Operation Crusader this one balances the various aspects of the other doctrines while keeping it unique. I’d like to see the Infantry include British Desert Rats Infantry, 2nd New Zealand Infantry, & 1st South African Infantry. I’d also like to see South African Marmon-Herrington Armoured Cars (multiple variants) as an early-battle option, plenty of the more common tanks and maybe the Bishop as a slow but mobile artillery piece. As a special call-in, we could probably include the Free French Legionaries as a powerful assault unit, just to really complete the variety in this division.
Defensive: Inspired by the Siege of Tobruk, this doctrine should primarily represent the Australians. Variations of the Australian 9th Division troops as infantry alongside minor British elements with a heavy emphasis on field engineers, emplacements and field guns. Defensive doctrine could also include RAF Regiment infantry, RAF 20mm Oerlikon guns, RAF Rolls Royces, India Pattern Carriers (from the Indian 18th Division), air strikes and, as a special unit, they could even have captured Italian tanks from the 6th Australian Division Cavalry Regiment! As a defensive doctrine, they should also have access to the best mid-war field guns, including the rare (but historical) ’Pheasant’ 17/25 Pounder Field Gun.
Offensive: Inspired by the Battle of Tunisia and Operation Torch, I think this one should show off the might of the UK’s heavier vehicles in the latter stages of the African campaign, particularly the Churchill III, Sherman III, the Priest 105mm and the Stuart Command Tank, alongside the more standard British tank options. As for infantry options, we can include Indian troops of the 4th Infantry Division (India), Gurkhas, and a motorised unit of 22nd Guards Infantry. I would also add the British Commandos in this division - partly because they were involved in Operation Torch, but also because they had an iconic impact on the mid-war (outside of Africa) that it would be a pity not to add them.
Irregular: This one would be quite unique in mid-war as it is effectively the light vehicle special forces doctrine. Although some standard British units would form the basis of the army, they would have access to a variety of assets representing the Long Range Desert Group; Chevrolet trucks with mounted Vickers MGs, Boys AT rifles, twin 303 Brownings or even Bofors and captured 20mm Breda guns! ‘Bamtam’ jeeps with twin Vickers Ks or 303 Brownings. The transport and logistics would be different too, using the Marmon-Herrington 6-ton Heavy Truck or the White 1064 10-ton. Other unique special call-ins would include an LRDG WACO Recon plane and the SAS (armed with the Lewes bomb). The downside to this doctrine, however, is that imagine it to be much lighter on armoured support, relying mostly on towed guns for its heavy firepower.
Other Units: I’ve tried to use inspirations from specific parts of the war to get a rounded but also diverse array of units, but there are loads of obscure units across the mid-war that I’d love to see; the Priest 105mm SPG, the AEC Deacon Gun Carrier, the Daimler Dingo, the Humber Light Reconnaissance, and so on.
That is as much as I want to say on mid-war without labouring the point. I’m sure there’s interesting things I’ve missed accidentally, and I’m afraid there’s some I have missed on purpose. For example, I considered the Australian Matilda Hedgehog, but it turned out to be late war and never used. I also considered the Greek and the Czech Division, but I think I’ve already stretched it too far as regards voice acting alone without adding units that, as distinguished their service might be, are just too obscure without adding anything extra - appearance or gameplay. That said, my hat would go off to the devs if they achieved that.
Late War Doctrines
Here we get to represent the Commonwealth units from Operation Overlord up until Operation Varsity.
All-Round: The quintessential British doctrine, combining bog-standard infantry with hardy tanks and a decent array of equipment. Partially based on Gold Beach, but also Operation Varsity/Plunder towards the end of the war, I would personally give them 50th (Northumbrian) Infantry, RAF Regiment Gunners, RAF Humber Light AC, Churchill AVRE, the Cruiser Mk. VIII Challenger and the Comet. Maybe give them some 6th Airlanding troops and 1st Canadian Parachute Infantry as a reference to the Normandy paratroopers if we feel they need more skilled infantry.
Offensive: The Canadian Doctrine - mostly inspired by the First Canadian Army in Normandy with elements of their experiences later on (including the Battle of the Schelt and Operation Veritable) with the doctrine largely focused on armoured assault infantry. They’ll look quite unique compared to the British because their uniforms were greener and they were the first to use the British-designed Mk.III helmet at D-Day. Troops of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division as standard, supported by assault infantry. Eventually, armoured infantry can spawn in Buffalos (used at the Battle of the Schelt) and, as a special call-in, Ram Kangaroo APCs (sporting an armoured MG turret). The Otter armoured car would be an early call-in, with M4A1 Sherman Grizzly tanks as well as Ram IIs available in the standard tank tab. Some unique but limited special call-ins would include the Skink AA tank (of which 2 saw historical combat in Normandy) as well as a skilled sniper wielding the Ross rifle.
Defensive: Just as the US Defensive doctrine features the 101st Airborne (no doubt inspired by the Battle of Bastogne), the British Defensive doctrine can feature the British Airborne - particularly based on the defense of Arnhem Bridge in the Netherlands as part of Market Garden. Infantry units can include the 52nd (Lowland) Infantry, 1st Airborne Paratroopers, 1st Airlanding Infantry, Parachute Squadron Royal Engineers and 1st (Polish) Independent Paratroopers (who are distinctive with their grey berets). Armoured units can include the Tetrarch and the M22 Locust. To suit their defensive doctrine, they should get some decent guns and I’m thinking the airborne jeep-towed 20mm Polsten Gun, airborne 17th Pounder as well as (in a departure from the Parachute theme) the BL 7.2-inch howitzer. The Patchett sub-machine gun could make an appearance here too.
Irregular: Based on Sword Beach, Commandos and the 79th Armoured Division, with the more unusual units in the British arsenal. Probably with 3rd Infantry Division Infantry as standard, this unit could have access to No.41 (Royal Marine) Commandos, Fusilier Marines Commandos (based on No.4 Commando’s assault on Ouestreham), the Centaur Mk.IV QF 95mm, the Sherman DD, the Churchill Crocodile and Royal Engineer Assault Teams deployed in the cute Terrapin 4-ton Amphibious. If we want to be really wacky, we could even add the M3 Grant CDL (an unarmed searchlight tank) for armoured spotting, similar to the 150cm Flakscheinwerfer searchlight.
Other Units: Further unique units that would fit in any one (or multiple) of these divisions (based on balance) include the Land Mattress Rocket Launcher, the Loyd Carrier, the Universal Carrier WASP (flamethrower), the Sexton SPG, Sherman Firefly, the Archer TD, Achilles TD, the Priest Kangaroo, the Morris C8, Staghound and so on. There are SO many strange and obscure British vehicles that don’t often see the light of day, but would be perfect for Gates of Hell.
Post-release Doctrines -
More of a final thought than anything else, but if/when the Japanese get added into the game, I’d love to see a fifth doctrine to represent the British 14th Army to match the Japanese. A doctrine that is mostly comprised of Indian infantry and Indian tanks, with representation from the East/West African Divisions, Gurkhas and the British 2nd or 36th Infantry Divisions. Special call-ins could include the Chindits (using Thompsons and the Jungle Carbine) and paratroopers of the 50th Indian Parachute Brigade. If we’re feeling generous enough to allow the doctrine to encompass the Pacific Islands as well, we could also include an Australian squad armed with the Owen SMG, South Pacific Scouts, the Matida Frog (flamethrower) and the Matilda QF 3-Inch.
Conclusion: I apologise for such a long read. But I hope we see how a bit of ambition could really help the Commonwealth stand out and be worthy of the variety seen in the other factions since their overhaul. While the Germans have Spanish soldiers in their ranks, the Commonwealth can see the UK, Canada, India, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Poland, and France (and technically Nepal) all get some recognition. While the German Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe stand out on the field, the Commonwealth might get the distinctive blue battledress of the RAF Regiment, or the long white tunics of the Foreign Legion. We would see such a variety of hats including pith helmets, berets, kepis, dastars, keffiyehs and slouch hats. Some units, like the LRDG vehicles, might even stand out as unique from any of the nations already in the game. It’s a lot of colourful uniforms, a lot of voices and a lot of strange and wonderful machines.
However, it does come with its downsides. Firstly, Africa and Europe are such dramatically different theatres that their version of mid & late war are incredibly different to one another. So much so that the depth of variety might make the faction too big, making it a lot of effort for the art department (especially with uniforms changing for the map’s climate. Imagine making skins for temperate, desert AND snow). The second issue is whether France is getting its own faction in future iterations of the game (the French flag appears in the loading screen during Axis vs Allies games). The final (and probably biggest) issue is voice acting. I’m no expert on games development, but I gather that getting enough voice actors for a faction is hard enough as it is without having to accurately represent 9 countries at once. I would love to hear the developer’s thoughts on the matter - whether such a project is within the game’s scope and if they have the ambition to take it this far.
Do let me all know what you think as well.

Hi All,
I had a WILD experience last night. Just for some background, I was diagnosed with UC almost 2 weeks ago, currently taking prednisone (10mg x 3 times a day) and mesalamine (1,600 mg x 3 times a day) been on a low fiber diet to help my colon relax and heal and have had no blood, mucus or diarrhea, in fact my my BM (1-2 a day) progressed from soft to actually having a structure to them I don’t remember having. I will also preface that both my daughters seem to have a stomach bug and have been throwing up and complaining of stomach pain. So around 5:30 PM I’m keenly aware that I feel/look pretty bloated no pain, just distended. Then I start to feel nauseous…I had to run to the bathroom and projectile vomited. And it took everything out of me, literally and figuratively, then came the shits…i immediately clear everything from inside me (water and soft poop) mixed with hot flashes and this pattern of puke and poop maintained for about 6 hours, couldn’t keep water or sprite down and was literally crawling on the ground because I had no strength, my body was definitely draining itself. Body finally calms down around 1:30 AM and get sleep. I wake up today and generally feel great. No pain, no bloat, I’m tired for heaving from both sides of my body, but no urgency to use the bathroom and now I’m about 6 pounds lighter. I’ve never had a “proper” flare since I was just diagnosed and the last time I guess I had a flare was when I was peeing blood with urgency every 10 mins. If this is what a flare is then I’m never leaving my house again.

Hi all, sorry if this is a lazy question/answered elsewhere, but I am just curious if anyone has had their hearing bounce back after more than, say, six months?
My rough timeline:
August 2023: Bilateral Meniere’s diagnosis, but only left ear showing symptoms (hearing loss, dizziness, vertigo). It has luckily only ever been my left ear throughout.
October 2023: left ear hearing returned, dizziness/vertigo mostly under control with sleep and other measures.
December 2023: left ear hearing loss returned, daily tinnitus, daily dizziness, occasional vertigo.
January 2024: betahistine 48 mg 3x per day. Daily dizziness mostly abated.
February 2024: steroid injections in left ear. 3x over the course of one week. I think there was initial improvement but nothing too lasting.
May 2024: my hearing in my left ear is pretty poor. If I plug my right I generally cannot hear conversation. The dizziness is mostly gone away with enough betahistine, for which I am ETERNALLY GRATEFUL.
Ok, question time.

1. Given that my hearing has gotten worse since February (and did not snap back like it did the first time it went away) is it more likely that it will not snap back?
2. Is there any type of length of time threshold for which it doesn’t come back (i.e., if it is gone for six months, is it just gone)?
3. Has anyone have it come back after 1, 3, 5, or even 15 years?
4. Has anything specific helped anyone with this (other than standard sleep, no stress, no caffeine, no alcohol, JOH, etc.)?

Just trying to set expectations (for myself).
Again apologies if this is a lazy post, but as always I appreciate all of you and your help very very much!!
TL;DR: if I’ve lost hearing in one of my ears for 3+ months is it likely that it’s gone for good?
CHEERS

Hi, I was prescribed Co-Acetamol 500/30 to take 3 times a day for 10 days and Valium 10 mg to take 2 times a day for 10 days. These medications are to be taken post-surgery. I am reading online that combining these two medications can be dangerous as they both affect your respiratory system. My surgeon is very experienced and I don’t doubt his expertise but I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on combining these two medications. 40M 80 kg / 183 cm / mild controlled asthma, no recent attacks, no longer on maintenance medication. Thank you.

I often read about poop out or lower efficacy I’m at 35 mg. 3 weeks here. 2 months in total, and this seems to be amazing. Feel full range of emotions, no more sct or brain fog, positive, less anxious, 85% less depressed. More drive and thriving all around. Would go down to 20 mg for some days and then going up to 35 is advised? For it to not lose efficacy of I shouldn’t worry about it right now and until I feel the efficacy fade? Because I have also read the I lowered upped and now it doesn’t work So what do you guys think :)

Greetings! My allergist is prescribing the below list and I'm wondering if anyone has experienced benefits with any of these or a combination of them --

• 300 mg monthly Xolair injections
• (2) 5 ml Cromolyn vials 30 minutes before a meal and again at bedtime
• 10 mg Xyzal twice daily
• 20 mg Pepcid twice daily
• 250 mg Quercetin Phytosome twice daily

I started taking 10 mg for 1 week 2 weeks ago. For the last 2 weeks I’ve taken 20 mg. Every morning I have to fight myself to get out of bed. I usually get 7-8 hours of sleep and even if I get 8, it’s a struggle to wake up. I usually wake up an hour before my alarm and lay there dreading waking up to the point I can’t fall back asleep. I feel more depressed than I did before I started the medicine. My doctor had offered buspirone first and I elected to go with Prozac and now I’m regretting it.

I'm not sure if this is the single best subreddit to post this but upon google search the medications I searched for came up here a lot. Anyways, I have an almost 14 year old boston terrier. He is most definitely reactive. He has a whole host of other issues as well. He has suspected sundowners as he gets very agitated and barks in the evening, worse than the day. He also has general anxiety. He also has atypical cushings. He recently had cervical surgery for a herniated disk. That is important because he started trazadone during the pre and post surgery. Prior to his disc issues he was taking: 100mg gabapentin as needed for pain or as a sedative 0.5 mg of Xanax as needed (usually evening) 15mg Selegiline every day Mitotane one day a week for cushings melatonin and lignans every day for cushings
Pre and post surgery he was one a heck ton of pain meds and other things. They added the trazadone to keep him calm. Now that he is mostly pain free he is not on the pain meds. We brought up with primary what we can do to keep him calm since he can't have as much activity out of risk of re-injury. They suggested adding Prozac. Their current recommendation is to do: Prozac 10mg once a day Selegiline 15mg once a day Xanax 0.5 mg every 6-8 hours
They also said I could give trazodone on a situational basis. The idea of Selegilline and Prozac together is concerning? I've read that is not a good combo? But maybe it's okay? He would also continue the meds for cushings. I hear of serotonin syndrome and I don't know how common it is. I have been hesitant to start the Prozac because Trazadone has seemed to work the best but I know it may not be the best long term. BUT, he is almost 14 and he has never shown his age as much as he has the last few months. I've heard Prozac can take a long time to work and can make things worse before they get better. We've been through hell the past few months and I am scared.
Because of his reactivity and risk of injury we don't go for "normal walks". I have a treadmill that we walk on. I have a fenced in yard for going potty and roaming around. We just have to be careful for neighbor dogs making noise and or bunnies/squirrels. He can't play with most toys because he gets aggressive with them. What I have done is kongs and other puzzle toys with peanut butter and treats but he gets them all so quickly and just barks and barks. I can't give unlimited pb and treats!
Does anyone have experience with this medication combos?

Basically what the title says.
I’ve been in PT for 5 months, compounded Baclofen 10 mg/Diazepam 2.5 mg/Lidocaine 50 mg suppositories, had an iliac stent placed as well as some vaginal vein treated.
We tried gabapentin, which did nothing. Now trying Lyrica, which also seems to be doing nothing. Now getting monthly nerve blocks that provide relief for a week max and then I’m miserable again.

So… I quit smoking via vaping 5 months ago. I tapered 25 mg.. by half… to an extremely small amount of nic (below 0.3mg)… then 0 mg. Did this over 2 months or so
I was SHOCKED how hard it was to go from .3mg to zero nic. So difficult that I felt like tapering was a waste of time.
Anyway…. Don’t try this at home kids…. BUT…
I had a slight urge and some 6 mg juice… Really just out of curiosity…. I decided to try it.. Again, I don’t suggest this…. But
I FELT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
So I hit it again… and again…. and again… Nothing. Not even a slight head rush. Chained it… nothing… Gotta admit I was hoping for the rush and was almost disappointed at the time. That was 2 days ago and not one craving since.
Double checked and definitely 6 mg.…. I smoked more than a pack a day for 10+ years up until 5 months ago. I was crazy addicted.
Seems I’ve beat this and that’s awesome… No plans to do that again but it makes no sense to me. Def not my norm. Ive quit before and failed,
Does nic juice dilute or expire after 5 months????? Not going to but do you think its because I’m d need more than 6mg or an actual cigarette at this point?!?!?
Curious if anyone has had a similar experience???

Hi askdocs
I've (36M) been dealing with high blood pressure (150/85+) this year and have made a ton of progress through exercise, diet, and quitting drinking/smoking. Lately, I've switched to having low (below 80/60) blood pressure. It's been low enough that I've almost blacked out from standing up and during weightlifting.
I talked to my doctor already and he's having me lower my Losartan dosage from 100mg daily to 50mg and stopping my hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg entirely to start, with instructions to continue lowering the dosage until my systolic is back around 120. We currently think I'll be able to stop the medication entirely.
I've also added protein shakes (muscle milk) to my diet to ensure that I'm not malnourished, since my other medications (listed below) suppress my diet significantly.
My question is: at what point should I go back to weightlifting? It's been 3 days on the lower dose and I'm measuring 100/70 before medication and between 90/60 and 100/70 after medication. I'm still getting dizzy when standing up, though not as bad. I was planning on waiting until either I was done adjusting my dosage, or above 110 systolic, but that may be me making excuses for myself.
Medications:

• Venlafaxine 75mg
• Atomoxetine 40mg
• bupropion 150mg
• Aripiprazole 10mg (1/2 a 20mg tab)
• Losartan 50mg
• Gabapentin 300mg (as needed at bedtime for nerve pain)
• Atorvastatin Calcium 20mg
• Trazodone (temporary sleep aid)
• Nicotine gum 2mg/3 hours (as needed for cravings)
• Vitamin D3 5000 IU
• Ibuprofen and acetaminophen as needed for pain

Lifestyle:
Diet is almond milk yogurt w/ granola, and a protein shake for breakfast, raw vegetables for lunch, coldcut sandwich for dinner, fresh fruit, nuts and dried fruit for snacks, 2-3L of water and unsweetened tea for fluids (I've been over hydrated per lab results). 30-60 minutes of exercise on weekdays.
Background:
My weight is currently 215lbs (97.5kg) at 5'11 (180cm). I've been a 1/2 pack/day smoker for 16 years and an alcoholic for 14 years. No indication of liver or kidney damage, and my chest x-ray was clean. I'm currently 3-months sober and have quit smoking, but I'm still using nicotine gum and pouches. I have significant back, ankle/foot, and joint pain from military service and am diagnosed with GAD, MDD, and ADHD (hence the laundry list of medications). My cholesterol was above 300 as of 4 months ago, but is down to 107 as of a week ago. Sleep is a disturbed 5 hours/night.
I've been back in the gym for 3 months, lifting and walking. Outside of exercise, I'm pretty sedentary.

Help! I have been steadily losing 1-2 lbs. week for the last 2 1/2 months. I recently went up to 1ml (mg?) 2 weeks ago and this week I gained 3lbs!
I have had weeks where I didn’t lose any weight when it was my period but I have not gained before.
I am telling myself it must be water retention from salt but I have not really eaten anything that salty.
I know it is irrational but I am SCARED. I was down 20lbs before this 3 lbs gain. I have diabetes and I have not been able to lose weight in years so this medicine has been a godsend. I feel like I have messed THIS up as well as everything else in my life….
Also, since being on Ozempic I seem to be getting a period every 2 weeks despite being on continuous birth control (taking it nonstop so you don’t have a period or only have a few a year) I have read of people being on the pill and getting pregnant while on Ozempic so I am thinking it is just messing with my BC?
Does anyone have any advice? Or even just kind words for me? I am shattered and I know it is an overreaction but I can’t control my feelings

While I'd love to be able to inject and the weight just magically fall off, I know I have to do my part too. First week down of 5 mg and haven't felt much of anything and I'm up 1.5 lbs. I was off 2.5 Zep for about 2 weeks before starting back up with compound so it may just take some time to build back up in my system. I keep telling myself it's a marathon and my time will come.
However, I know I need to lock in on my protein and water intake and get to moving this body more to aid in the process. What has been extremely helpful for you in your journey? From the smallest changes to the largest? I'd love to hear your experience of what lifestyle adjustments really helped you trend that scale downwards.

So… I quit smoking via vaping 5 months ago. I tapered 25 mg.. by half… to an extremely small amount of nic (below 0.3mg)… then 0 mg. Did this over 2 months or so
I was SHOCKED how hard it was to go from .3mg to zero nic. So difficult that I felt like tapering was a waste of time.

Hi, I've been on 10mg lexapro for +6 months.
I had appendicitis surgery on Saturday and I haven't taken my dose for two days because I vomit everything... Now I have nausea and headache 😔 May it be due to both the postoperative period and lexapro cold turkey? I'm afraid I get worse because of this...

I recently went completely off Lexapro. I did a slow gradual reduction since January (from 20mg). I took my last 5 mg around April 20.
I’ve been having headaches with internal hot feeling (thermometer says my temp is normal) and some nausea. I am wondering if there is anyone else on here that gradually went off Lexapro and if they had similar symptoms and how long they lasted for.
It is getting less frequent but the days I feel bad, I feel bad. I don’t have any emotional repercussions except for mild anxiety here and there. I was feeling very mildly this way at my reduction to 10 mg in March thru April, but it didn’t affect my day to day life like it is now and so never thought about it.
Also to note I up’ed my Wellbutrin to 300 mg on March 16 and I know that can cause same symptoms at first, but these symptoms got worse after I stopped Lexapro
I am working with a NP medication manager but I wanted to see if anyone else had any personal experience on going off Lexapro.

I’ve been working on losing weight on my own to improve my health as I was diagnosed with NAFLD beginning of this year. But even with exercising 5 times a week, intermittent fasting and diet changes I had not lost much. So I talked with my doctor and got prescribed zepbound and I have noticed the changes immediately. I’m feeling pretty positive and I’m on the 2.5 mg right now and I can’t wait to see how much progress I can make. My goal is to be down 50 lbs by the end of the year, so here’s hoping.

My doctor has mentioned that I can drink 200 mg of caffeine and be fine. I have also done my own research and I haven’t really restricted my caffeine intake since becoming pregnant. I’ve usually only drank 1 cup or 2 cups of coffee a day before getting pregnant.
People have been really weird about it though. At work, I’ll grab a coffee and coworkers who know will be like “should you be drinking that?” Or “are you allowed to drink caffeine??”. It’s gotten very annoying especially when I tell them every time that yeah, my doctor said it’s fine.
Has anyone gotten annoying comments about caffeine too??
