HELP! Fainted and unconscious. Do I need to go to ER?

I get vasovagal syncope from stomach pain and earlier today (around 5am), I was on the toilet and then stood up. I remember my brain and body feeling weird... like I was frozen. I could not 'think' but I was awake. Then next thing you know, I 'woke up' and on the floor with my neck/head against the sink cabinet/corner wall close to the floor.

The issue is ... I do not recall what happened from when I got up and from where I ended waking up. So I do not know if I hit my head against the sink counter or door or corner and then fell onto the floor. Or fell onto the floor and somehow slouched up without me knowing. I know I fell and assumed I shook the place from the fall because I noticed my shower curtain rod not straight (which never happens, it's always in place). So it seems me falling made it fall down a little (though still hanging).

I went to sleep after because I was so exhausted. I woke up feeling fine but since I read about concussions... I'm worried if I potentially have one or not?

Should I go to an ER tomorrow? Is it too late?

What was your experiences when you guys fainted? Anything I should do today?

Normally, I can prevent fainting but somehow this time, I ended up being unconscious really fast without warning whatsoever and I was unconscious for probably a min or more ( I have no idea ). I do not recall anything in between.

I get vasovagal syncope from stomach pain and earlier today, I was on the toilet and got up. I remember my brain and body feeling weird... like I was frozen. I could not 'think' but I was awake. Then next thing you know, I was sitting halfway up with my back laying by the sink cabinet/bathroom wall corner.

The issue is ... I do not recall what happened from when I got up and from where I ended waking up. So I do not know if I hit my head against the sink counter or door or corner or floor.

Need a new vacuum $400 and under.

My Dyson v10 of 5 yrs doesn’t work anymore. Can anyone recommend a good model/ brand for under $400?

I live in a 1 bedroom apartment. Carpet floor. Looking to move soon so the new place may be hardwood or carpet (not sure, so flexibility on both is needed).

No pets but I shed a lot of hair as a female.

Need Rec: Chair for Short People. Upper back neck pain

Hi! I am a 5’2 woman 120lbs.
Been suffering from upper back and neck pain for years. My office chair makes me so uncomfortable and it’s on its dying legs so I need to buy a new one.

Looking for something that is good for short women with upper back and neck pain. I have no lower back pain. I tend to slouch so I hope the chair can help me not slouch as well.

Thx

Fluoxetine HCL 10mg vs Zoloft with Adderall IR?

Hello,

Has anyone taken 10 mg Fluoxetine HCL (Prozac) together with Adderall IR? I'd love to hear about your experience.

Specifically, did Prozac make your Adderall less effective, cause brain fog, reduce motivation, or affect your ability to focus?

If the combination worked well for you, could you share:

  1. What time of day you take each medication
  2. Whether you're male or female
  3. Any side effects you experienced during the first 2–3 weeks of Prozac while also taking Adderall IR

I'm asking because I previously tried Zoloft (12.5 / 20 mg) with Adderall IR, and it made my Adderall ineffective. I had no motivation to work and consistent brain fog. My creative thinking and critical thinking was non-existent.

On the positive side, Zoloft helped my anxiety, improved my mood, increased my energy, made me want to get out of the house and meet people or gym, and didn't cause any physical side effects. Unfortunately, I rely on Adderall to handle my ADHD, maintain my job so I can pay bills, drive and other responsibilities.

Because of that, I'm considering trying Prozac instead and wanted to hear from others who take it alongside Adderall IR.

I've also heard that some people experience increased anxiety or panic attacks when starting Prozac. I know everyone reacts differently, but as someone with generalized anxiety, that's something I'm a little concerned about.

For reference, my treatment priorities are:

  1. ADHD
  2. Depression
  3. Anxiety

I've also tried Wellbutrin and Lexapro, but neither worked well for me. Would love to hear your experiences.

Question about the Costco / Lawrence Caltrain area

Looking for apts and was wondering about the noise level and congestion of the apartments right next to the train tracks and Costco.

How bad is the Caltrain noise and does the whole apartment shake when it zooms by?

Also I hear bad things about traffic going into Sunnyvale Costco. Is it like that always and how is it during weekends or rush hour?

Which generic adderall IR works well this month?

Alright so we know getting a good batch of generics is like playing Russian roulette.

I finally found a pharm that carries Teva last month and went out of my way to get it.. Only to find out it was weak and gave me bad side effects, compared to the Teva I got 1-2 years ago.

I found some of my old Teva left in a drawer this week and the difference is night and day. Lasted longer without the sleepiness/intense crash.

I heard some people said Alvogen batch was good in March/April but unclear if it is still good as of May. For those that have refilled their meds this month (May), can you confirm which manufacturer for generic IR worked well for you and the area you’re in if you dont mind?

For ref, I take 20mg IR.

Need to have my appt with psych this week so trying to see which to get. If all IR generics are bad, will ask for Vyvanse but a good batch of IR > Vyvanse > bad batch of IR.
