I couldnt read for almost 10years so maybe even longer. I didn't track the time. I was always a big reader. I finished 700page russian literature in a week. But for some reason I wasn't able to do this anymore. I could barely focus on a few Paragraphs, so I stopped reading. I tried it several times

8 years stable now on olanzapine, but i sleep 10 hrs each day which is alot for someone who wants to study alot, i switched to abilify 20 days now, everything is good but i have insomnia from olanzapine withdrawal, how much time will it take for me to sleep normal again?

So they admitted me to the psych ward a few days ago after my last post. The first night i couldn't keep my blankie and blew up and punched the shit out of my face so i have two big black eyes and my whole right hand is greeny purple. When the psychiatrist saw me the next morning (sobbing and hyster

i have a ton of questions that i would love to unload on people. but just for now i would like to know one thing... i have meds now "olanzapine" through my psychiatrist. what is something you wish you knew before taking your meds that you know now? also im not worried about the meds, i'm just being

I’m 30. I have struggled with this my whole life , unbeknownst to me. I went to multiple doctors and counselors, especially after I had my kids and was crying to them telling them there is something wrong with me please figure it out. They did labs and all kinds of testing. They told me it was in m

Anyone else have bipolar and told you have to take meds for life? I am worried about the long term effects of the meds but I am also worried about how I would do if I went off them. I am currently doing great. My meds are zyprexa/olanzapine and lithium.

And holy shit do I stink now. Not my whole body, mostly the armpits and it's like the really sharp and nasty sweat smell that usually comes from men who don't know what a deodorant is. This is what I wake up to every morning, F31 (Oh hey, that's the code for BP, never noticed this). Tbf I sweat exc

I just needed to vent about my depression and my issues with society's stance on it somewhere. I thought these were supposed to be the best years of my life? I'm not ugly, and I like to think I'm funny and friendly, so why don't people like me? I'm always alone. Always, always, always. I've spent my

Chronic fatigue. I feel so so tired and weak all the time. Brain fog so bad it is even hard to read and comprehend stuff. Insomnia. I have to take strong sedatives to sleep. I feel like death after waking up. Developed bruxism in my sleep. Noticed it only after it fvcked up all my teeth and they s

Hi all, I unfortunately, went through a tough antidepressant withdrawal from Venlafaxine, and after finding out how common the issue was I decided to get started on creating an application to help.

*This is more of a rant than anything. I'm sorry for the formatting. I am on mobile and not really able to think clearly right now*   One month ago, I was put in a psych ward by my parents (I'm still a minor) during what was one of the worst depressive episodes I have ever had. I was physic

I am at the end of my rope right now, and I have nowhere else to go except jump. I wake up every morning wishing it would all stop, and it's my last thought before falling asleep. I am finishing up my PhD this year, but I don't have nearly the job prospects I was expecting. I am in a field as a m

*This is a super long post*, but before I started my AD I was looking for something detailed like this to see people's progressions on their meds. I had a hard time finding much, and this is why I decided to track my own progress and share after 6 weeks. Backstory: 26yr F, have had anxiety and mild

I take Venlafaxine. Just increased from 75 mg to 150 mg. I used to masturbate a lot. Not everyday...but most days. Now I have absolutely zero urge to. I’m talking to a girl now and she says that she’s a “freak” sexually. But I’m basically asexual now because of my meds. So of course.

Hi, Reddit, Over the past month, I have been weaning off of Venlafaxine, I was only on it for 3 months but it has been a debilitating experience that should be taken seriously! After a lot of research, I have noticed many people have been taking these medications for years and the withdrawal symptom
