Day 1 placebo effect?

I only started yesterday and was terrified to start as I am a low dose responder (to everything not just psych meds). Today is the first day I didn’t wake up crying in a long time.

I still feel awful and my brain is still full of unhelpful thoughts of course but normally I wake up teary with that tight throat feeling, feeling panicky etc. this morning my eyes were dry.

Could it be any effect so soon? Or am I just so sedated from the meds my body was too tired to do the normal dramatics?

So scared to start

I don’t do well on SSRIs.

I have a background of ‘suspected bipolar disorder’ and ocd but ultimately everyone agrees I have CPTSD and that’s where all my issue stem from.

The last 12 months have been ROUGH. Near constant intrusive memories, rumination, agitation, low mood etc.

I’ve been prescribed lamictal and I am terrified to take it, I’m scared of fatigue I’m scared of side effects etc. but I also cannot keep living this way.

Please tell me how it went for you

Send me your blood, stool and urine

Hi All.

Just made this account specifically for this.

My therapist said something last month and it’s stuck by me.
What would you do, if you got nothing from it, no benefit, just because the process brought you joy and benefited people.

And for me that would be functional blood marker analysis. It’s my autistic special interest fr fr. My little hobby. And people in my life are sick of me asking for their blood, stool and urine.
I know a lot of places do this for money, I want you to know you can actually have this for free.

If you’ve been told your blood tests are normal but you still don’t feel right, or you’d simply like a second set of eyes on your results, send them through.
If you’re an athlete and you want to be super human or optimise your performance hmu.
If you’re trying to conceive, if you’re having gut issues, autoimmune, weird symptoms etc etc

Remove any identifying features, or don’t, i genuinely do not care.
I will send you back a report based on the functional patterns/nutritional deficits/recommendations.

Full disclaimer - this isn’t medical advice and take it to your practitioner of choice if you want.

No catch no fee no nothing, block me when ur done if you want, I do not care. I would honestly do this for free for the rest of my life. I would only waste my time doom scrolling anyway.

Thanks guys, send me blood 🫶🏻
