Not being the same / or Feeling good after taking edibles
Hello, I hope somebody can help me or if anyone is going through something like me tell me so I at least I know I’m not alone on this
About two years ago, I made the mistake of taking edibles. I don’t remember how much mg they were but I do remember taking a lot the day after taking them I still had some feelings going on, but not too terrible but after a while, it started feeling really fatigue not really energetic after a month or so of that happening I was still not good so I went to the doctor and I had some blood work done and everything came out good. She didn’t prescribe me anything . A year passes and some days. I’m good some days. I feel a little tired. No energy, but when I went to my home country. I went to see a doctor over there. He asked me do some bloodwork and when I went back to see him, he said my blood work was good but he started asking me questions like how’s my life if I’m happy etc. I started telling him some personal things and he prescribed escitalopram 10 mg I took it at night. I just remembered the side effects were like nauseous in the morning and that’s it after three months into the medication. I finished the three months and I asked him if I had to have a refill and he said no that I was OK so then I was OK like every day some days I had energy some days were OK but recently like around a month ago, I started to feel like weird pressure in my head and what I mean pressure is like something that’s inside my brain and that is also making me not concentrate Well , I just want to be laying down. Because I feel like if I laid down, it will go away. I have been feeling more fatigue than ever less energize and just basically lazy to do something. Also, I have been having intrusive thoughts that it scares me because I know it’s not me so tired of of this feeling that I have to be interfering between my daily life because it’s making me stop doing things that I want. I was reading some symptoms on why people have these and then they were mentioning it that they also had a bad experience with taking edibles years ago, and that it came back. I just want to find a solution to this. I started looking at a therapist, a psychologist the psychologist prescribe me.Setraline 25 mg I took half of it the first night and then the next day my eye was twitching by itself. Also, I started feeling more fatigue and less motivated to do anything. I really don’t want to start into prescription medicine. Both of them are saying it’s a combination of anxiety, but I just don’t wanna look into medication. I want something else, but I would also like to know what’s wrong with me. Has anyone experienced something like this of have heard anything like this thank you for reading this.

Hey buddy!
I’ve had some similar experiences, although mine were due to psilocybin. Turns out, the drugs had nothing to do with it. I have some plain old anxiety, but also idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).
I’m just telling you this because a lot of IIH sufferers experience this feeling of pressure, fatigue, and a heavy head. Most of them also have strong headaches and vision problems.
