UPDATE: I just saw that they marked the car in front of mine too except that one has up to date stickers and whoever did it used nail polish and left the nail polish on their windshield
hey everyone. just wondering if anyone knows what this means or who wrote it on my car and why? my car is registered in colorado still because i just moved back home to philly. i was planning on registering it at the end of this month.
hello everyone. I just wanted to post my experience quitting cold turkey here in hopes that someone can reassure me that what I’m going through is relatively normal or if something more may be going on
I quit smoking and vaping cold turkey about two or three weeks ago after an accident where I hit the vape and my vision went pure black for half a second which was pretty terrifying. I was hitting the vape about every 30 seconds to a minute, all day every day. before that I had smoked cigarettes for 15 years and once I went to vape, I became more addicted to that then the cigs and was vaping for about four years. eventually I was both vaping and smoking cigs, kind of going back and forth
once I quit I had the usual symptoms the first few days; the irritation and all of that. I noticed about day 3 or 4 that my vision was very different and that I also started to have ocular migraines with no headaches about every other day. my vision I can only describe as constantly having negative after images (like when you go outside and it’s super bright and then come back inside later and can’t see) and almost like tv static colors in it. with that is light sensitivity. I can’t even see words on my phone screen sometimes. It’s very terrifying and I already dealt with bad panic attacks from time to time due to health anxiety causing me to think i’m dying all the time
I did get my eyes checked a couple months ago, dilated and all since I was already dealing with the light sprites and lots of black floaters that came out of nowhere and never left. he said my eyes looked great. went to the ER a few times because I was scared and they never found anything wrong with me, perfect blood tests and such
the other symptoms i’m dealing with that i’m not sure are related or not are
having trouble comprehending things
having trouble reading words on screen
severe anxiety and panic attacks
body buzzing feeling when anxious
ocular migraines
paranoia and derealization
zoning out more often
urinating very often but short
vision going out of focus or distorted randomly
sore eyes
light sprites randomly
can anyone please shed some light on this? is this more likely that something is actually wrong with me and it’s coincidental that it all happened after quitting or is there people who have had similar experiences after quitting? any feedback or sharing your experiences would mean a lot, thank you all
hello all. I know this isn’t a place to get medical advice but I was still just curious what everyone thinks about my current situation. I am currently sitting in the ER waiting to get seen for this
so last night as per instruction from the doctor, I upped my dose of sertraline from 25mg to 50 and thought I was fine. around 11 last night I was trying to fall asleep but was dealing with sudden bad neck/collar pain and couldn’t get comfortable. I eventually fell asleep around 1 something for about an hour before I woke up feeling completely off and not myself, like something was very wrong. I chalked it up to another panic attack as i’ve been dealing with those lately. this was not that I quickly realized.
I tried really hard to push through the awful buzzing, confused and restless feeling all night and decided to go to the ER after I literally could not sleep all night. I’m dealing with shakiness, panic attacks, muscle tightness, and can’t sleep but as far as i’ve read from other people’s experiences with SS, I have it extremely mild if I even do have it. I was just wondering what people think. Is this just my body not liking sertraline? is this just bad side effects from upping the dosage? It’s only been about 9 hours since I took the pill and I’m just worried this is gonna get worse and I could possibly die from it and doctors here not taking it serious enough before it gets worse
I’m not sure if this makes a difference but a week before starting sertraline, I quit nicotine cold turkey and have been dealing with awful symptoms of that too. I’m not sure if that affects starting an SSRI? any input would mean a lot as i’m terrified of going through what many others have described as hell
