Wondering if anyone has done this and what your experience was like. I'm going to be doing a psycholytic dose in a clinic using troches in a few weeks. I'll be doing talk therapy during the treatment with a psychotherapist.

I'm very nervous but so hoping this will help my extreme anxiety and depression. I'm also curious how many sessions are usually necessary for this kind of treatment. They're $740 a session so I'm hoping it won't be something I have to do too many times.

I tapered from 50mg to 25mg to 0 over 3 weeks, it's now been 20 days since I've been completely off and I feel terrible. I felt anhedonia, restless and increased heart rate while I was on Pristiq but now I'm having really bad depression and anxiety being off of it. My insomnia has gone crazy as well, taking hours to fall asleep and waking up almost every hour.

Has anyone else gone through the same thing coming off of it? Wondering how long it lasted and if it eventually got better.

I've tried taking Dayvigo 5mg about 5 times now and get bad dreams and sleep paralysis all through the night. I'll feel like I'm waking up a bunch through the night from a bad bad dream but am unable to actually wake up because I'm stuck in sleep paralysis. It's all night, so when I do finally wake up in the morning I feel horrible and completely unrested.

Should I persist and keep taking it and hoping it will get better? My psychiatrist says I should but I'm now scared to take it because of these experiences. I have terrible insomnia so I hoped this would help like it had others but it isn't making my sleep any better.

I was put on 2mg Abilify 5 months ago as a booster for 50mg Pristiq. I was having terrible physical anxiety, specifically in the morning. I would wake up with a horrible feeling of dread and sick feeling in the pit of my stomach everyday (almost like the feeling of dropping on a roller-coaster but it doesn't go away unless I get up). After a few days on Abilify it went away, but it gives me bad restless legs at night that's really affecting my sleep.

I've tried to come off of it twice now and every time I do, that physical anxiety in my stomach comes right back when I wake up. It's an absolutely awful way to start the day and it makes me feel anxious all day. Has anyone else experienced this and have a solution?

I'm completely new to microdosing and have been trying to do as much research as I can. I have a lot of anxiety and depression and have had bad experiences with even low doses of weed so I'm very nervous to try this and possibly have a bad experience.

I know a lot of people say to start at .05g mushroom capsules but I saw .025 available and wondered if it would be better for someone who is quite sensitive to start that low? Or would it be too low that it wouldn't even benefit me?

I've finally booked myself an appointment at a clinic for a psycholytic ketamine treatment using troches. Would love to hear of people's experiences with this (hopefully positive). I have a lot of anxiety and depression and am hoping this will finally help me be able to push through the wall I've been stuck behind for years.

I'll be talking with a psychotherapist while doing my dose, since it will not be a psychadelic dose, and then will talk after as far as I understand. Has this helped anyone? And how many times did you have to do the treatment?

I'm so frustrated, this has been going on for almost 3 years. Diarrhea almost daily or very soft stool that burns, usually very bright yellow, and I have really bad itching in the rectal area. It's so awful and embarassing.

I've been to two specialists and had 2 colonoscopies and both of the doctors have not been helpful. They basically said it was my anxiety so I went on anxiety medication, didn't make a difference. I've done a food diary trying to figure out if something I'm eating is triggering it. I got tested for celiac and it was negative as well.

Has anyone had something similar and figured it out? Or does anyone have any ideas? I'm so embarassed and disgusted I don't know what to do anymore.

I've been on Pristiq 50mg for 3 months now and would eventually like to get off of it. I don't feel great on it, mostly numb/emotionally blunted with zero motivation. Anything that was normally fun or made me happy I feel basically nothing and bored and it's making me so sad. I also have had terrible insomnia and restless legs since I started it, even though I'm tired all day I still feel "wired" or restless.

The problem in Canada is that 50mg is the smallest dose, and I was told I cannot split the pills so I have no idea how I could ever taper myself off of it! Has anyone in my position successfully come off of it?

Just got disgnosed with POTS and my doctor told me to look into compression shorts and abdominal compression, but basically just told me to look on Amazon.

I'm not seeing many things specifically targeted for POTS so I'd love to hear what others have bought and found works, especially in the summer heat!

I've been on 50mg of Pristiq for about 2 months now, maybe it's not enough time but I'm not liking the side effects I'm experiencing. I noticed I have emotional blunting, like I can't really feel excited or really happy. I also noticed I have ​heart palpitations frequently and my heart races even when I'm doing nothing. The worst part is I feel like I can't sleep well anymore either, I'm kept up by my heart feeling like it's racing or beating too hard, and then I also wake up frequently through the night.

I was hoping if I went down to 25mg maybe the side effects would be less. I saw that some people found 25mg was better for them, so I was wondering is it okay to go right from 50 to 25? I'm worried about having withdrawal symptoms from the drop 😕

I've been on zopiclone every night for almost 3 months and I want to stop taking it, I'm so upset that my psychiatrist ever put me on it. Long story short I had a horrible 3 months of extreme anxiety and panic attacks and was hospitalized, and they were giving me zopiclone every night and I had no idea it was only to be used short term or just once in a while.

Everytime I've tried to go to sleep without it, I can't fall asleep until almost 5am. Even halfing the pill makes me almost unable to fall asleep. I'm so worried I've formed a dependency and that my body has "forgotten" how to fall asleep. I can't even nap during the day when I try, I just lay there tired but unable to sleep.

I'd love to know how anyone was able to get off of it successfully!!
