Recently started dose, having some annoying side effects

Hello Reddit! I recently got diagnosed with OCD and a couple of other things and have probably about 2-3 months ago began on a 20 mg dose of fluoxetine. Relatively shortly after I started this dose for the first month, my psychiatrist recommended bumping me up to 40mg. I was having a seriously bad episode for about 2 months but now I am beginning to feel significantly more comfortable and secure again. Unfortunately, there have been some side effects to the medication and I kind of just wanted to get on Reddit and ask if maybe they’re common within the community or actually a cause for concern. I get like, really really realllyy tired in the middle of the day. Naturally before the medication I had no noticeable issue with my energy but nowadays I actually feel it somewhat necessary to have to take a nap in the middle of the day if I’m not doing anything because I am just that tired. Additionally, when I’m just chilling in pretty much any environment, I feel the need to exert my energy in some manner, most commonly being done by Restless Leg Syndrome. My leg is straight up bouncing and I don’t even realize that it is and once I catch myself, I pretty much just start up again.

So to pretty much summarize, I am unbelievably tired randomly in the middle of the day. I genuinely feel like I need to take a nap almost daily + I feel like I have Restless Leg Syndrome and if it isn’t my leg bouncing, it’s my body randomly twitching throughout the day. Is this common with 40mg fluoxetine? This is the only medication I’m taking at the moment

Question about therapist reporting?

Hello! So, pretty recently I just had a bit of a scare when I had a particular session with my therapist. I trust her a lot and she makes me feel comfortable, so I believe at some point I began to overshare about specific events/details in my life that were worrying me. It never even hit me until after the session was over, but I was horrified for the rest of the day thinking about how I potentially might’ve told her something that required a mandated reporting. Thankfully, after reaching out to her by email to tell her about my concerns, she told me directly nothing I said warranted a report and that next session we’ll be discussing the guidelines in depth so I understand better what requires a reporting. I guess my question is, is it legal to ask my therapist to tell me to shut up if she thinks I’m about to reveal something that potentially requires a mandatory reporting? I know it’s an odd question that’s counterintuitive because the whole purpose of the mandate reporting is to legally disclose to the proper authorities of any potential harm in the future or currently arising. I should further clarify that in my situation, I am not a harm to myself nor anybody else but for some reason felt like what I was disclosing warranted the potential to lead to a report. To further prevent any confusion about what I can/can’t say (because in my case I feel like what I need to talk about pretty much toes the line between mandatory reporting and just venting/rambling if that clarifies anything), can I just ask my therapist to literally tell me to stop talking if I begin talking about something that warrants a report? Like I’m fully giving her permission to cut me off the minute I begin to talk about something that requires a third party? We have a really good relationship but legally I would never want to put her in a bind. Ethically, I’m sure it’s probably not the best decision but I’m more concerned legality wise. Sorry for making this so long but felt like I needed to explain my situation entirely and hopefully receive some feedback. Thank you so much guys!

I’m not sure if this is the right subreddit to post this in but just genuinely curious and I apologize if this comes off as insensitive but I have a lot of curiosity regarding true crime and horrific cases in general because it reminds me the reality of how disgusting and vile some humans can be. I recently fell into a deep rabbit hole on this subreddit and came across the ECAP FBI website (I never knew this existed so I think they’d benefit from promoting this on a much more global scale, granted I did see their social media posts but I’m sure this can be popularized/enhanced to have more outreach) and I have just had so much curiosity regarding these supposed John and Jane Does and their heinous crimes and if they were caught. I think it obviously goes without saying that I’m ecstatic the FBI seem to be doing a great job knocking a ton of these guys off that website because they’ve been identified/captured/ etc. but I have now been interested in seeing the previous John/Jane Does that were posted, the evidence of their faces or recognizable housing/clothing, and how/if they were caught. Does anybody know if there is a website that has these previous cases or identified individuals? I find bits and pieces here on this subreddit but usually the links to the John/Jane Doe # from the official fbi website are deleted after they’re identified. Would appreciate it if anybody could guide me in the right direction if there even is somewhere I could possibly find these previously listed cases. Thanks!
