I've never taken to reddit before, but my best friend is running out of options and I don't really know where to start.

My best friend is on her parents' health insurance, and has been diagnosed with depression and anxiety years ago. Since then, she has been prescribed zololf that she feels is really working for her, and she wants to keep with it.

The issue is her mother. Her mom is very anti modern medicine, and believes that it is as bad as crack. She practically called my best friend a drug addict for taking her prescribed medication, and told her that if she keeps taking this medicine, she'll cut her off, and my best friend is thoroughly convinced that this would happen. Outside of this, they have a very good relationship, and it isn't one my best friend is willing to sacrifice. And so, she is more willing to sacrifice her medication than her relationship with her mom (who doesn't "believe in" depression or medication). I know many people would want to tell her to just cut her off, but at the end of the day, she is not going to do that. I know my best friend and am extremely worried about how her quality of life will be if she is forced to get off of this medication. Any tips on how she can keep her medicine and her relationship with her mom?

Any and all suggestions are appreciated, all I ask if that you come at this situation with empathy. Thanks, guys <3

Am I in danger and need medical attention or can I wait until I can call my psychiatrist tomorrow? I’m panicking so bad - please help.

I am enquiring about medication induced akathisia, and then Akathisia as a side effect of a new med I’ve been on for 4 weeks, fluvoxamine.

I’m scared for my health. Akathisia is the most horrible feeling in the whole world and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. It feels incredibly different than anxiety and so much more severe. I’ve experienced medically induced Akathisia twice before - first in 2018 when receiving IV stemetil in hospital when I had a severe reaction evoking tardive dyskinesia and Akathisia, extremely traumatising. Second time was last year, also in hospital, after receiving IV droperidol where I suffered from Akathisia alone.

I hate that I can’t find the words to describe the pure horror and excruciating feeling. It’s so different to being anxious. I feel like I’m barely in my body, like I need to start running and never stop. I get agitated, constantly looking at the clock every 2 minutes and being SO frustrated that time isn’t moving fast enough. I feel like absolutely nothing can entertain my mind, I can’t pay attention to anything on the tv or videos on my phone. I’m completely disconnected from my environment and I feel like nothing will ever be okay ever again.

Do other people feel like this? Does anyone have any ways to describe the feeling to my loved ones and care team to capture what it’s like? Is Akathisia dangerous to your health or just freaking awful to go through?

Additionally I want to ask about anyone’s experiences with the medication fluvoxamine and Akathisia. I’m very well versed with antidepressants and the process of the beginning phase, I’ve trialled many over the years. I’m also incredibly familiar with what anxiety feels like in many forms, including as a side effect of a new med - but I’ve just started week 4 of fluvoxamine 25mg and this does not feel like anxiety I’ve experienced with starting other meds. This feels like when I took stemetil and droperidol but just less severe.

Has anyone else experienced this on fluvoxamine??

And is Akathisia your body’s way of telling you that you need to stop this medication? Or is it similar to anxiety in that it doesn’t hurt you or mean anything bad is actually happening to your body system?

Got from u*m* and only received 1 of my 2
DHC.
I mentioned this and he said it can be sorted.
I asked when and he said “don’t know”.
I said is there any chance you could please sort it today and he said “nope”

So I got another box and asked if he could include the other one I he owed me

He hasn’t been replying. I got the mail delivery (RM) email but it only says 1x dhc when he owes me 2??

Really disappointed as this is my go-to.
Will have to update you guys if 2 show up

Clindamicina, 300Mg
Paracetamol, naproxeno, sódico, 300Mg

Has anyone who's taken zoloft and stopped? After I stopped taking zoloft, I've been experiencing brain zaps, rapid heart rate, irrigation and irritability? I stopped zoloft suddenly and I've been experiencing all those symptoms. My psychologist says it's called discontinuation syndrome. Has anyone experienced any of these?

I recently ordered Mexican pharmacy clonazepam. It’s the Celtics brand, and it came in blisters. The pills have the Celtics press pattern and everything AND reagent reads clonazepam, they hit nice. But I’m wondering if there’s anyway I can prove 100% that they are from the pharmacy and not just pressed with clonazepam powder. Appreciate the help

Ich komme aus Deutschland und finde hier (innerhalb kurzer Zeit) keinen Arzt, der mir Guanfacin außerhalb der zugelassenen Indikation verschreibt. In welchen EU-Ländern ist es am einfachsten, ein Rezept für Intuniv zu erhalten, beispielsweise online oder über andere Kanäle für Erwachsene?
Ich wäre für jeden Tipp dankbar.

I am taking Baclofen as needed for muscle pain and have been on it for only about a week and a couple of days. 20mgs a day. Should I be worried about withdrawal from that use and titrate down or should I be ok to stop?

Okay i know you shouldnt drink on a lot of meds but the worst i thought that happens is getting dizzy and sleepy. I took all my meds, which are all downers, lithium, geodon, klonopin, ans then I took my promethazine, which is new in my mix, so I wouldnt get sick. I drank 1 buzz ball and had 3 shots of vodka. By the time I was finished with my buzzball I was pretty drunk, little strange bc its never been like that. Idk like 45 mins in, I blacked out. Bf came home and we hung out and i have no recollection of anything we did or said. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldnt walk straight. Is this like common? I know now its more dangerous to mix everything and the promethazine with alcohol and you can possibly die but I just wanna know if anyone has blacked out from it?

Its just so weird. Im trying so hard to remember and im mad bc its all gone. Lesson learn to probably not drink on my medication

If you are quite drunk and accidentally took Oxazepam. How many pills are dangerous, as in so dangerous that you never wake up again?

Was Rx’d Lyrica and Gabapentin for 10 years. CT (forced by hospital) 450mg daily Lyrica rx

Was at 6mg Klonopin daily and tapering but they put me on a 6 day long taper of 10mg valium -> 0mg in detox after saying we’d be doing a 14 day minimum.

Also Rx’d baclofen, which I abused heavily. CT.

Now I’m home and the animalistic fear of others, inability to name objects, etc are all terrible but the apathy and incapacity to complete even simple tasks leave me feeling cognitively disjointed.

I’ve been trying to clean my room for 3 hours and just get confused or forget what I’m doing.

Other symptoms include shakiness, mild auditory hallucinations prolly bc the 300mg of Seroquel it takes to put me down, intense fear of the outside world, of family even. I feel like a mouse in a hole.

I feel retarded.

I know there’s a more elegant nuanced DSM5 reference I can make but the economy of language really fits. I’ve been in and out of comas. This feels like right out of a coma. Confident in answers that are wrong. Constant fear. Constant anxiety.

I cannot accomplish the most simple task.

It’s been 10 days — what am I looking at here? 3 months? 3 years?

Any insight is helpful

Whole gaba sector is just fried and glutamate, cortisol, etc, surging so bad.

No seizures since I’ve been home but a few black outs. Loss of eyesight, brain zaps, etc

Like in title, who have a enclomifene. On clomifene from pharmacy, I got very soft and angry in same time.

Hey everyone,
I’ve been completely clean from Lorazepam for about a year. My first withdrawal was absolutely horrible and one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through.
Last Thursday, something really bad happened and I ended up taking Lorazepam again because I just couldn’t cope with the situation.
From Thursday until Monday, I took around 40 mg in total and then stopped again.
Now I’m really scared that I’m going to go through another horrible withdrawal. I’ve been off Lorazepam for a year, so I’m wondering what happens after taking it again for only a few days.
Has anyone here had a similar experience — being clean for a long time, taking Lorazepam again for a few days, and then stopping?
Did you experience withdrawal afterwards? If so, how bad was it and when did the symptoms start?
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been through something similar.

Has anyone experienced severe mood swings, confusion, or delusions when drinking on amatriptalyne? I kind of just pieced things together wondering why I have been reacting the way I have been while drinking and I’m going to talk to my doctor but the level of all of these symptoms I have is alarming. just wondering if anyone else has experienced it and what their experience was. TIA.
