I've been on concerta for a while but my anxiety has always been around same with adhd I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for anti anxiety medications that 1. go well with stimulants And 2. I know anti depressants may cause weight gain or slower metabolism and I was wondering if that's the same for anti anxiety meds and if that's true if there are anti anxiety medications that don't do that or the opposite

2024.05.15 02:16 hannaht5 Lithium + Lamictal
I have bipolar 2, OCD, ADHD and PTSD. I’ve tried a lot of psych meds through the years but Lamictal I’ve been on for 4 years. It’s been the only med that’s ever helped my bipolar symptoms. In the beginning of this year i had a trauma flare up, which prompted me to have some bad mixed episodes. My psychiatrist raised me from 200 mg Lamictal once a day to twice a day, so I’ve been on that for a few months now. Im still experiencing some depression, and my OCD makes socializing and functioning really difficult. My psychiatrist is now starting me on 150 mg lithium twice a day, and he says it’ll really help my bipolar 2 further, as well as my ocd and adhd focus/executive function issues (i’m not on a stimulant).
So i guess I’m really just wondering what to expect with starting lithium. I’m scared to start it, and I’m scared about weight gain because i struggle with my weight. Does anyone else take lithium with Lamictal, or take lithium for bipolar 2 and or ocd? Really just any comments on what lithium feels like would be reallly appreciated

2024.05.15 02:05 PaperTidePod Antidepressants and Deployability
I will be commissioning soon and have a waiver for anti-depressants. I know the requirement for commissioning is 6 months stable. Is it the same for shipboard deployments? I want to try and switch to a different medication post-commissioning as the one I’m on is not working anymore. My worry is that if I do switch then I won’t be able to deploy especially given it’s a full 6 months. I know the right answer is probably to say fuck it and do it anyways but how will this be received by people on the ship if I miss deploying? I don’t want to show up shore-side and then have to dip on deployment. Is it worth sucking it up until a longer maintenance phase? I know I can’t be given the answer but any advice helps.

2024.05.15 01:46 Rare_Kiwi_9960 For Those Of You At Rock Bottom (Real Event / False Memory Perspective)
Hi all,
Last month I reached rock bottom, within 3 months I'd lost my job, my passion for my hobbies and a 6 year relationship. All of this crescendoed into perhaps the worst OCD spiral I've ever experienced, my self esteem wasn't just at rock bottom, it was at rock bottom and being pummeled into the bedrock.
This manifested as real event / false memory OCD, I began to ruminate and scour my past for any misdeeds or transgressions I had made, that could have affected my relationship and just generally my morals. Whilst dealing with all of these negative emotions and circumstances, I was mentally lacerating myself so brutally that I fell into a deep depression, I had never felt such despair before in my life, such a feeling of hopelessness and worthlessness.
The OCD fed into the anxiety, which fed into the depression, which in turn fed into the OCD. I was walking around with a constant cloud of guilt and shame smothering me. It was by far the hardest and most painful experience I've ever endured.
In my desperation I spent large amounts of money on therapists, but none of them seemed to understand, I truly felt like the 0.0001% that just could not be fixed, I've been dealing with OCD since a brain infection when I was 8, I'm now 28 and it has been untreated until now, I really just felt like giving up.
I felt like I was pushing away those closest to me with my incessant obsessions, and I decided to go to my last resort, SSRI's. My parents have always been avidly against anti depressants, they said it was "the easy way out" so there has always been a lot of stigma for me (By the way "the easy way out" is absolute horseshit and a horrible thing to say, starting SSRI's is no easy choice and takes a lot of courage to begin with, especially at rock bottom).
So I met with my doctor and was prescribed 50mg of Zoloft (sertraline) and he warned me "it'll get worse before it gets better"... I thought ... yeah right, it couldn't possibly get worse than it already is.
I was wrong
The first week was hell, the side effects weren't particularly brutal but enough to make me uncomfortable the entire duration of that first week, but the worst was the anxiety spike, I was seriously considering quitting the meds by day 3. But I perservered somehow and I'm now on day 20 I think.
At around the 12th/13th day they started to kick in, which is lucky for me as I know it can take longer for some people.
And since then I've just felt.. normal. Not just normal, happy even. I have motivation again, I don't feel hopeless, I don't feel despair, I don't feel like the worst person to ever walk this earth. I understand that there's ups and downs I will continue to experience lows and highs but that's not the point of this post, the point of this post is:
It does get better, 1 month ago I didn't think I'd EVER be capable of feeling happiness or normality again, I know what it feels like to be in that deep pit of despair and doubt, that you are immorality incarnate, that you are different and no one can ever understand, and I'm here to tell you that it will pass
The shear relief of not feeling like a walking piece of human trash anymore, even if briefly, gave me enough hope to keep pushing forward, and I want you to do the same.
I've also started ERP / ACT therapy, which I will update this post on at a later date.
SSRI's aren't always the answer, but if you're like I was and really felt like you have nothing left to give, I think you should consult your doctor and see what they can do for you, I'm so thankful that I perservered and kept going, the relief is indescribable. Obviously it's different for everyone, and some will work for you and some won't, but keep trying and keep hopeful.
And lastly, no matter what kind of OCD you have, at the end of the day it IS still OCD, be kind to yourself, I know you don't feel like you deserve it, I know you think that meds or therapy are a way of avoiding atoning for your sins or fears, and I know you feel that your OCD is different and no one can understand, and trust me, I've been there. Be kind to yourself and understand that you are not in "Hell" think of it more as a 'Refining fire' and you will perserver this and come out stronger.

2024.05.15 01:30 Current-Poetry-8309 Insomnia when coming off olanzapine
(23M) Was placed on 20mg olanzapine during a hospitalization back in February. Did a rapid taper over the last 3 months as I wasn’t happy with how I felt on the medication (flat mood, lack of interest in things, low libido), although I suppose it could be post psychotic depression as well.
I’ll be completely off the medication this week, however I’m not sure if I’m prepared to deal with the rebound insomnia and depression.
My next appointment with a psych doc is in 6 days, and they will most likely prescribe seroquel 25mg. I could also ask for mirtazapine 15mg, however I’m not sure if it’s a good option for me as I most likely have bipolar 1.
I also have a script for 25mg lamictal but I’ve been afraid to start that as well.
At this point, my goal is to just regain my ability to sleep naturally, but I’ve been overwhelmed with having to cope with this disorder and what to do going forward. Should I just ride it out over the next month, and hope the insomnia lifts? Lack of sleep seems to be a trigger for mania for me as well. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

2024.05.15 00:25 arabellajws What helps people survive loneliness
I'm 25(F) and life has been rough for awhile but this week my boyfriend got deployed to a different country for a year and a half and I lost my two closest friends from separate arguments and its obvious that I'm a problem and cycles repeat(not totally my fault but at this point i dont think it matters). Life had been going a bit better recently but now I feel so lonely it hurts. I've been coming off my anti depressants aswell which didn't help.
I moved out to a flat with a girl who seems constantly moody due to her own life, I'm skint, I can't work, I'm disabled, I have literally one close friend now in thr city. I got chronically ill a few years ago, I have no family, I'm at risk of homelessness and I have no savings. All the things that comforted my worries before are gone now I've lost so many people.
I am achingly lonely and sad, I've been sobbing in bed for days and it physically hurts. I feel like there's nothing left.
How do I go on when I feel so alone and in agony? I'm scared I'm going to hurt myself

2024.05.15 00:22 SuikoRyos I think DW8 made me biased against Liu Bei.
Quick background summary: always wanted to get into Dynasty Warriors, the only PS I owned was the first one, my first Warriors game was SW3 on the Wii, and my first DW was the PC port of DW8XLCE (or I think that was the order of the letters).
As a total newbie to the Dynasty Warriors franchise (and therefore to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms lore) I played DW8 completely blind. I didn't know who were any of the characters. So I run the game, select Story Mode and the game presents me five options: Wei, Wu, Shu, Jin and Other. Reminder that I came from SW3, which had a character-centric Story Mode. By that time I also didn't know jack shit from the Sengoku era, but at least I could choose which stories to play based on the character's models --I either started with Nobunaga because he looked cool or with Kai because she was a sexy lady dressed in red.
Back to DW. Since I wasn't sure which kingdom to start playing the game, I just played them in the order the game presented them to me. Which now, in hindsight, made me realize that, maybe unwillingly, the game leaned me towards being anti-Liu Bei. My reasoning:
Meanwhile in SW: as said before, I played as Nobunaga first, but I didn't feel any animosity when playing as Nagamasa or Mitsuhide later. I love Nene's character, but seeing her depressed after losing all her loved ones during Hanzo's story didn't make me hate Hanzo himself. I'm pro Mitsunari, so while I can joke about Ieyasu being an opportunistic like Liu Bei, I still can see some nuance to his character. There was no "common enemy" so to speak between all the stories.
And that seems to be one disadvantage with faction-based narratives. If there's 3 main factions, by the time you finish the stories of two of them, it's very likely you will be inclined to see the last one as the "common enemy". Of course, I'm just talking off my ass right know. So I ask to any who was patient enough to read so far:
Did you happen to have a similar experience? For example, if you played Shu's and Wu's stories first, did that make you feel like Wei was the bad guy of the whole game?

- While playing as Wei, the impression I took of Liu Bei was that he was a spineless coward. Always picking fights, losing them, crying into the arms of a stronger warlord, picking more fights, also losing them, and finding a new warlord's lap to hide under. Rinse and repeat until Zhuge Liang appeared.
- While playing as Wu, that impression evolved into the one of a filthy backstabber. Jing Province, anyone? Like, yeah, Wei (Cao Cao) was on a conquering spree, but their battles never felt personal; it was just survival, regular war. But with Shu (Liu Bei)? Oh, those always felt personal.
Meanwhile in SW: as said before, I played as Nobunaga first, but I didn't feel any animosity when playing as Nagamasa or Mitsuhide later. I love Nene's character, but seeing her depressed after losing all her loved ones during Hanzo's story didn't make me hate Hanzo himself.

2024.05.15 00:09 syzorr34 Better Offline - Supergiant Games
Wasn't sure if flairing this as "anti-bastard" would be more correct but I genuinely find the example of Supergiant Games to be the shining beacon of how gaming development companies could be run as the counterpoint to the current enshittification/"rot economy" situation we have under the Microsofts of the world.
I am unaware if they have had any significant controversies other than releasing the original Hades on the Epic Games storefront as an exclusive but they have been around for over a decade now and keep releasing banger after banger. This post is specifically brought to you by how much I cannot put down Hades 2 currently.
However I am left wondering - how the fuck are they doing it? It feels like "good management" shouldn't be such a rarity and yet, here we are? I'd be so interested in a couple of Better Offline casts more in the vein of "Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff" highlighting folks doing things right. Otherwise it's just all too depressing x_x
EDIT: Also add under this Ghost Ship Games.

2024.05.14 23:40 LobsterDazzling2886 1 year post diagnosis, still in denial, still don't know where to start
I have a hard time coming to terms with my diagnosis, despite all the evidence to the contrary. If you met me, you would never know I'm bipolar. Nobody does. I'm ambitious and my life is "together."
Last year I (29f) started experiencing rapid mood cycling like never before. I impulsively ended a bad relationship, lost a lot of weight, had classic bipolar rage, hypersexulization, dramatic energy fluctuations, did things that weere out of chatacter, and toward the end I did feel paranoid and heard sounds. Often, i was in a state of sadness.
But at the same time, I kept moving forward in life. I felt like I couldn't trust myself but on the outside, everything was fine and nobody was worried about me.
I would have done anything for the cycling to end. I got diagnosed and put on Lamictal, which wasn't a fit for me. My psych then wanted to try an antipsychotic plus some diabetes medication to prevent the weight gain side effect. It all felt like too much. I'm not up for the trial and error. Since then, I've spent 6 months depressed and off meds. Gained all weight back.
Also, the start of all this cycling can be traced to a time when my schedule changed suddenly. Now I know better.
I've gotten into therapy again and am committed this time because I don't want to live like this. I feel like I'm wasting my life being depressed.
Today my therapist said if I'm going to manage this holistically I need to learn how to offset hypomania when it comes on. Typically I just try to enjoy the ride because it's a relief from the depression and I feel I'm a better version of myself in most cases, last year being a dysphoric exception.
I never really do anything too crazy so it's hard to see the harm in it. She told me all about the damage it can cause overtime, which I've heard about and emphasized that I need to let it go or it will get worse. This is a hard pill to swallow, I don't want to subdue it if I'm lucky enough to feel energetic and sociable and productive.
I dont really have a specific question. I don't know where to start. I guess I'm wondering if anyone can relate to this high functioning spectrum of bipolar and feeling like medication is not the way for you and worried if you'll ever feel good again without mania.

2024.05.14 23:21 Callummatcha Wanted to share my story
Me @ 15yrs: introduced to this 30 year old male by a mutual acquaintance. Had no friends, therefore he became my best friend. Treated me to dinner, gifts, days out, holidays.
6 months into the friendship - I was pressured to model for him. Eventually in the nude.
Me @ 17yrs: I get my first boyfriend. My 'best friend' decided to teach my sexual acts. I felt uncomfortable but couldn't say no as he'd done so much for me.
Roughly 6-8 months later - relationship with boyfriend ended but sexual acts continued with best friend.
Me @ 18yrs - avoided him as much as possible as he made me uncomfortable. Saw him about one a month as felt bad for making excuses but to see him.
Me @ 20yrs - get a girlfriend
Me @ 21yrs- abuser offers me a job with amazing pay, minimal day/hours. Required to stay overnight at his house once a week. At this point, abuse intensifies, all while having a girlfriend who I was to ashamed to tell.
Over the next two years, he used his mental health as an excuse saying it'll make him happy, saying it'll be the last time, blocking my exit, keeping all his videos and pictures of me locked in a suitcase on a USB.
Me @ 23yrs - quit working with him and cut off all contract.
Me @ 25yrs - marry my girlfriend.
The above events led to years of disassociating. The following years, I had lots of CBT, antidepressants and anti anxiety meds. Therapy did not help. Meds made me feel like a zombie. Cured myself with mindfulness and quiting the job I was doing that was associated with him.
Despite no longer being depressed, anxious or sad, I'm still riddled with guilt. Feeling like I've allowed it to happen. My sex drive is mostly non existant but I can masturbate fine.

6 months into the friendship - I was pressured to model for him. Eventually in the nude.
Me @ 17yrs: I get my first boyfriend. My 'best friend' decided to teach my sexual acts. I felt uncomfortable but couldn't say no as he'd done so much for me.
Roughly 6-8 months later - relationship with boyfriend ended but sexual acts continued with best friend.

2024.05.14 23:16 Available-Resource22 will i ever be the same?
26F, had a period of denial and went off my meds for almost two years. in the time i had a raging 3 month long full blown manic episode that had a lot of social and other repercussions, crashed into depression, started seeking treatment again, had another manic episode because my medication wasn't correct... coming out of it now i'm on week 3 of going up to 200mg of lamictal, taking 2.5mg of zyprexa as well. i think i feel pretty stable... but i just don't feel as sharp as i was a few years ago. i'm constantly losing things or misplacing things, i stop talking in the middle of sentences and forget what i'm saying, i have a really hard time focusing on anything like watching tv.. it's been like this ever since the really bad episode last summer, but i think it got even worse recently. is this just part of the disorder?

2024.05.14 23:00 Such_Experience_7043 Ang hirap, ang lungkot.. Ano ba talaga.
Hello,
Gusto ko lang i-share yung nararamdaman ko kasi wala akong mapag sabihan even my family, my partner.. I don't have reliable friends either to reach out, walang "one call away".
The more I age the more I get disappointed sa sarili ko, tho nakatapos naman ako, mas stable job, may savings, may kotse.. pero I know sa sarili ko na hindi pa ako kumpleto, hindi ko masabi na masaya. It feels like life is edging my for more than 20 years just to be happy.l and contented. Sobrang nakakatuwa yung mga mas bata pa sakin na nakakapag travel outside the country, with high paying jobs, bnew cars, maraming friends, good looking and marketable, maayos ang lovelife and relationship sa family.
Family wise, my father is already dead.. I can't share what I'm going through to my Mother because she's a Narcissist. I attempted so many times but I only get "Ay ako... Ako nga eh" ending, It's me that I lost my turn to share but I ended listening. I can't even share to my sisters because they also deal with their own problems and I don't wanna add up to those. To my brother, hindi kami close and he's not someone who's willing to listen.. a close minded person.
Lovelife, I have a long time partner.. Magkasama kami sa bahay pero parang wala akong kasama sa bahay kasi he's on his phone and laptop the whole time. I always try to initiate a conversation but nakikita kong parang naiirita sya kasi naiistorbo ko sya. Even in his most free time, he's on his phone then if I try talkkng to him mag susungit sya. Dumating narin ako sa point na nag snap na ako kasi nasasanay sya sa ganun, para akong naiiwan sa ere kasì parang ako na lang yung nagmamahal. Parang housemate lang turing sakin. Pag nag i-snap lang ako tsaka sya mag lalambing, pero after that let's say after a day balik na syansa routine nya. Paano ako magsasabi ng pinagdadaanan ko kung may ganitong klaseng partner ako.
I also had professional help, well.. nag gagamot parin ako for my insomnia and papitik-pitik na lang ng anti depressant pag sinu-sumpong.
I sometimes wish I was dead, kasi parang dead narin ako inside kasi wala akong enough outlet to dump all my thoughts. Siguro this reddit will somehow release like 5% pero some users here with low EQ will bash you instead of understanding you.
Alam ko, marami rin nakakaranas ng ganito. Yung hindi mahanap ang tunay na liwanag ng buhay. Kung maka relate kayo, salamat. Kung warlahin nyo naman ako saying na ungrateful ako, I can't blame you but you're not in my shoes..
Hanggang sa muli, hybernating..

2024.05.14 22:51 No-Monk-3234 advice needed pls
Hi everyone - I’m hoping to get some advice. My doctor just diagnosed me with vulvodynia. However, I feel like my concerns are being ignored and played down as not so serious. Back in January I had a UTI and took antibiotics, still was having issues 2 weeks later, so i t tested again and for yeast infection and STDs/STI. UTI was negative, yeast was positive. Ever since then my symptoms have not gone away. I got tested again and everything was negative, but i was on my period. The pain comes and goes. Most of the time it hurts to wear underwear and tight clothes. Feels like a prickly pine needle feeling, like the hairs are hypersensitive. I get random stabbing/shooting pains in clitoris/uretha. Sometime it feels like it’s burning and a tampon is almost poking me. My period also has changed. It’s not red anymore and doesn’t flow. It is dark brown/black, comes out in chunks. This has totally killed my sex life. I used to never have pain in sex or wearing a tampon, etc. I feel so depressed and mentally drained. Since this has happened all my doctor has suggested is hydrocortisone/anti-fungal cream, and now is suggesting PT. I totally get this could be a nerve thing and I need PT, but isn’t there more we could try? More we could test for? Something I can do or take when I have a really bad day? She says it all looks normal. This is all I can think about and it is ruining my mental health. Any advice would be appreciated greatly. Thank you!

2024.05.14 22:34 Puzzleheaded_Tree290 Conscription for women doesn't make things "equal", it just punishes everyone.
I'm more of a socialist than an anarchist, but I like this sub and it probably fits in better here than socialism, so what the hell.
My parents have been taking care of a girl, Anna, and trying to give her some of the things she missed out on growing up with parents that were very neglectful. Part of their neglect involved not helping her one bit when she got drafted into the army. She's from Norway, over there they draft women as well as men and it's actually pretty easy to get out of if you know what to do, but they just don't really tell you how to avoid it and you have to find out for yourself.
Now keep in mind that the Norwegian army is one of the "softest" in Europe, probably the world. Yet still, they ended up drafting someone who was already frighteningly shy, sending her up to the arctic and isolating her for months. I just don't fucking get. Apparently some officers were nice and decent but others would just use her for cheap labour and screamed at people. Anna's said that if it wasn't for my mom taking her on to work at her bakery, she probably would have offed herself and it's genuinely heartbreaking how casually she said that. I know she was depressed before the military but something about shutting someone out from the outside world, in a very toxic environment, with people they've never met, still feels fucked up even in a "nice" military like Norway's.
My mum sympathised her because she went through something similar. To give a tldr, she was basically groomed into joining the royal navy at sixteen by really ferocious recruiters and a few years later, gave herself salmonella to get discharged and is now intensely anti-war. There's a few other things I won't get into, and hell, not to mention the treatment of women in general. Her and Anna have mentioned, also very casually, how sexual harassment was just normalised.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, the military fucking sucks. And drafting women doesn't solve anything. A draft for just men, I would certainly agree is sexist towards men, but you don't solve that by just making things worse for women. How about you just don't draft women or men?

2024.05.14 21:50 Resident-Witness3456 I feel like a difficult patient
I feel like a difficult patient
I have a couple mental health condition including depression, anxiety, ocd, and adhd. I have tried a ton of medications in the last 10 years or so that either only worked for a short time or have given me bad side effects. So far I've been on Prozac, Zoloft, Celexa, Lexapro, Propranolol, Clonidine, Clonazepam, Adderall XR, Adderall IR, Clomipramine, Effexor, Wellbutrin XR, Vyvanse, Hydroxyzine, Naltrexone and Buspirone. I've had some weird side effects from some medications like tremors and involuntary limb movements along with all the normal stuff like weight gain, sweating, sexual dysfunction and dry mouth. I'm pretty sure the clomipramine even gave me the very beginnings of serotonin syndrome.
My psychiatrist has been amazing and is very knowledgeable. Im worried he thinks im being picky when i come in saying im experiencing a side effect and asking to switch. He is always willing to work with me, giving me several options and letting me pick which medication I am most comfortable with trying. The only problem is that I feel guilty, like I am a difficult patient to treat. Some people are successful with their first medication but I am not that lucky. Has anyone else ever felt like this?
Tldr; I've tried a lot of anti-depressants and I feel guilty that it makes me a difficult patient to treat. I feel like I'm being picky, but none of these meds have felt "right" yet

2024.05.14 21:40 llartistll Vitamin d toxicity
Vitamin d toxicity
Hello, I had a vit d deficiency of level 6 in March 2023
I went to a doctor and requested the right dose of vit d as my deficiency was severe and I was constantly shaking and felt like I would die. The doctor prescribed me 1 injection of 6L arachitol twice a week for 4 weeks.
Then also take 8 supplements of 60k iu vitamin d
I started taking it and by the end of the injections, 1 month had passed and I developed debilitating vertigo
I went back to her and she told me continue taking vitamin d supplements and quit my job and go relax in Another country. I quit my job as I was very worried about my health at this point and the doctor scared me into it. I had a very good wfh job.
I took 4 supplements as instructed but all my bones started to hurt and I was having severe heart palpitations, night sweats and shivers at the same time. I also developed s in my neck, shoulder, above ankle and below wrist, all on he right side of my body as it's the side I took all the injections.
I googled about the dosage worrying about my symptoms and it suggested Vit d toxicity so I got the levels checked and it indeed was 109 toxicity.
So I stopped supplements and restricted calcium and decided to check it next month.
But the next month it was 127 toxicity.
Anything above 100 is toxicity as per the reports.
I developed severe body pain and my upper back cramped straight for 2 weeks and I couldn't move my upper body.
My uric acid levels were Normal, calcium was in range cause I kept avoiding it.
I went to a doctor and I was suggested to walk 1 hour a day and avoid calcium and vit d
I did so but my vertigo remained and I developed tingling and numbness all over my body and burning near all my joints and my entire head tingling and numbing.
I got several infections of the ears nose and eyes due to extreme dehydration from the overdose. I had dry mouth to the point the tongue used to stick to the roof of my mouth and dry eyes and no tear formation as well as no nasal wetness, to the point nose was scabbing.
I got an x-ray and it showed straighting if the cervical spine as well.
The ENT I visited just treated me with multiple antibiotics and loaded me up on anti vertigo medicines. Which still didn't stop my vertigo
I visited a neuro and they suggested an mri "only to calm me down" cause I was over reacting and it was a brain mri and it showed a c5-c6 annular fissure and nerve indentation.
I was advised to wear a collar which I did from sept to January 2024.
My vit d was now at 36 and finally low enough but none of my swellings subsided. I haven't been able to walk properly since months or do ANYTHING as even chewing triggers the swellings.
Vertigo is mild now but still persists.
Doctors are very dismissive of everything I say and will not provide any solution for the awellings
I've been to physiotherapy as suggested by them and do exercises but my swellings only get worse by even doing the minimum
January I visited an orthopaedic again and he told me to stay home for a year and ignore myself and that I would be fine. It makes me want to off myself that they don't provide any solutions.
My family never cared about me and thinks Im over reacting but I can't look down or move, I can't draw and pursue my hobbies cause it's making my neck swell up to the point I can barely d have difficulty swallowing because of the swelling. I am severely depressed..
Ive gained weight too and they have been body shaming me. I am 5'3, I used to be petite and I think in my 40s-early 50s in kg, I am 64-66 kgs now and doctors have said it's fine but ik I'm overweight by a few kgs. I'm meant to be 57 and everyone blames my weight but I literally can't walk more than 400 steps without debilitating pain, I have walked despite the horrible pain 4000 steps a day minimum it causes a visual issue where everything around me starts moving backwards... Idk what it is but I think it's like vertigo, atleast that's what I assume. Same when I work out..
Ive been doing back pain yoga for 20 mins everyday.
It has also effected my eye sight, I had 0.5-0. 7 vision in both eyes since I was in 5th grade and it never increased and before the overdose this is what is was. But I got it checked last sep and it is now, 1.75 in each eye and I have double vision if I look at a certain angle.. And the muscles around my right eye hurt.. My eyes take time to line up together as well and focus.. I have blurry vision often..
I did some research and online via reddit it suggested that Vit d depletes vit k2 and magnesium and may help break down calcium if they're in the wrong places.
I ate blueberries for the first time in April 2024 and my neck swelling seemed less and I really thought it may all go away cause they're rich In k2 and mag.
I did all the blood tests suggested by a doctor and all of them came back normal, including arthritis tests and bone density tests.
I also requested more mris as my back and neck still hurt massively and I found out I have c4-c6 protrusions and L5-S1 bulge.. I am at a loss on what to do with myself.
I showed the ortho all the reports and requested supplements for k2 and mag and was provided a 30 day prescription for calcimax k2. I was suggested to only walk for the disc issues..
I have been taking it and the first 3 days the swellings seemed down and I experienced much less pain but it's the 5th day and my swellings are back full fledged and it's painful enough to have a panic attack..
All my teeth also hurt when I bite down..I think they've lost density and loss minerals.. I feel like I'm losing my life and I'm not able to do anything about it.
I am at a loss and I don't know what to do, I did approach a lawyer to sue the doctor and I have been told I cannot lose in court if I do file and then the lawyer dipped and he also wants 15% and I don't have the funds cause I've been unemployed for a year
I've been working since I was 16 cause my lifes always been hell and I've had a nail fungus issue since the past 14 years and I haven't lived normally as I can't dip my hands in water as it lifts the nails off the nail bed and it's extremely painful.
Idk what to do anymore and I can't keep being strong and keep getting through this and I feel trapped.. If any one at all, a doctor or medical professional can comment on this and assist me I would really really appreciate it.

I did all the blood tests suggested by a doctor and all of them came back normal, including arthritis tests and bone density tests.
I also requested more mris as my back and neck still hurt massively and I found out I have c4-c6 protrusions and L5-S1 bulge.. I am at a loss on what to do with myself.
I showed the ortho all the reports and requested supplements for k2 and mag and was provided a 30 day prescription for calcimax k2. I was suggested to only walk for the disc issues..
I have been taking it and the first 3 days the swellings seemed down and I experienced much less pain but it's the 5th day and my swellings are back full fledged and it's painful enough to have a panic attack..
All my teeth also hurt when I bite down..I think they've lost density and loss minerals.. I feel like I'm losing my life and I'm not able to do anything about it.
I am at a loss and I don't know what to do, I did approach a lawyer to sue the doctor and I have been told I cannot lose in court if I do file and then the lawyer dipped and he also wants 15% and I don't have the funds cause I've been unemployed for a year
I've been working since I was 16 cause my lifes always been hell and I've had a nail fungus issue since the past 14 years and I haven't lived normally as I can't dip my hands in water as it lifts the nails off the nail bed and it's extremely painful.
Idk what to do anymore and I can't keep being strong and keep getting through this and I feel trapped.. If any one at all, a doctor or medical professional can comment on this and assist me I would really really appreciate it.

Vitamin d toxicity
Hello, I had a vit d deficiency of level 6 in March 2023
I went to a doctor and requested the right dose of vit d as my deficiency was severe and I was constantly shaking and felt like I would die. The doctor prescribed me 1 injection of 6L arachitol twice a week for 4 weeks.
Then also take 8 supplements of 60k iu vitamin d
I started taking it and by the end of the injections, 1 month had passed and I developed debilitating vertigo
I went back to her and she told me continue taking vitamin d supplements and quit my job and go relax in Another country. I quit my job as I was very worried about my health at this point and the doctor scared me into it. I had a very good wfh job.
I took 4 supplements as instructed but all my bones started to hurt and I was having severe heart palpitations, night sweats and shivers at the same time. I also developed s in my neck, shoulder, above ankle and below wrist, all on he right side of my body as it's the side I took all the injections.
I googled about the dosage worrying about my symptoms and it suggested Vit d toxicity so I got the levels checked and it indeed was 109 toxicity.
So I stopped supplements and restricted calcium and decided to check it next month.
But the next month it was 127 toxicity.
Anything above 100 is toxicity as per the reports.
I developed severe body pain and my upper back cramped straight for 2 weeks and I couldn't move my upper body.
My uric acid levels were Normal, calcium was in range cause I kept avoiding it.
I went to a doctor and I was suggested to walk 1 hour a day and avoid calcium and vit d
I did so but my vertigo remained and I developed tingling and numbness all over my body and burning near all my joints and my entire head tingling and numbing.
I got several infections of the ears nose and eyes due to extreme dehydration from the overdose. I had dry mouth to the point the tongue used to stick to the roof of my mouth and dry eyes and no tear formation as well as no nasal wetness, to the point nose was scabbing.
I got an x-ray and it showed straighting if the cervical spine as well.
The ENT I visited just treated me with multiple antibiotics and loaded me up on anti vertigo medicines. Which still didn't stop my vertigo
I visited a neuro and they suggested an mri "only to calm me down" cause I was over reacting and it was a brain mri and it showed a c5-c6 annular fissure and nerve indentation.
I was advised to wear a collar which I did from sept to January 2024.
My vit d was now at 36 and finally low enough but none of my swellings subsided. I haven't been able to walk properly since months or do ANYTHING as even chewing triggers the swellings.
Vertigo is mild now but still persists.
Doctors are very dismissive of everything I say and will not provide any solution for the awellings
I've been to physiotherapy as suggested by them and do exercises but my swellings only get worse by even doing the minimum
January I visited an orthopaedic again and he told me to stay home for a year and ignore myself and that I would be fine. It makes me want to off myself that they don't provide any solutions.
My family never cared about me and thinks Im over reacting but I can't look down or move, I can't draw and pursue my hobbies cause it's making my neck swell up to the point I can barely d have difficulty swallowing because of the swelling. I am severely depressed..
Ive gained weight too and they have been body shaming me. I am 5'3, I used to be petite and I think in my 40s-early 50s in kg, I am 64-66 kgs now and doctors have said it's fine but ik I'm overweight by a few kgs. I'm meant to be 57 and everyone blames my weight but I literally can't walk more than 400 steps without debilitating pain, I have walked despite the horrible pain 4000 steps a day minimum it causes a visual issue where everything around me starts moving backwards... Idk what it is but I think it's like vertigo, atleast that's what I assume. Same when I work out..
Ive been doing back pain yoga for 20 mins everyday.
It has also effected my eye sight, I had 0.5-0. 7 vision in both eyes since I was in 5th grade and it never increased and before the overdose this is what is was. But I got it checked last sep and it is now, 1.75 in each eye and I have double vision if I look at a certain angle.. And the muscles around my right eye hurt.. My eyes take time to line up together as well and focus.. I have blurry vision often..
I did some research and online via reddit it suggested that Vit d depletes vit k2 and magnesium and may help break down calcium if they're in the wrong places.
I ate blueberries for the first time in April 2024 and my neck swelling seemed less and I really thought it may all go away cause they're rich In k2 and mag.

2024.05.14 21:37 Iwaslisteningooo Best anti depressants with Vyvanse?
Hello everyone, this is my first post in Reddit, I’m very new lol. I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, depression and Autism since I was young. Many different meds, but I found Vyvanse was my saving grace. Currently I’m on lexapro, 10 mg, and Vyvanse is 40 mg. The lexapro helped so so SO much, but I HATE the side effects. Has anyone had any luck with Wellbutrin and Vyvanse? I’ve been researching it, it seems like a good option. Thank you!
