Why am I sleepy all the time?

Hey all! Ok so I started Pristiq 3 months ago at 50mg. I had constant nausea and constant heartburn. I was miserable. I would literally wake up in the middle of the night to vomit. After 3 weeks I decided to ween off of it. I had discontinuation syndrome for 4 weeks. Then I tried Viibryd. I liked it because it didn’t make me sleepy, but it started to make me irritable and cranky all the time so I stopped taking it. Now I’m back on Pristiq. I started at 25 mg and that helped a lot. Very minimal side effects so I went up to 50 mg after 3 weeks. So it’s been a week on 50 and I’m so sleepy all the time. The 25 mg actually gave me energy, but definitely wore off so I thought that was a good time to move to 50. Now I feel like there’s been zero difference between the 25 and 50 except for the sleepiness. I know it can take up to 8 weeks to feel the full effects, but this is strange to me. I thought I would start to feel something by now and I definitely didn’t think it was going to make me so tired. Has this happened to anyone else? Should I stick it out? I can’t be on meds that make me drowsy. My motivation is already low. Oh also I’m on 450 mg a day of Wellbutrin and have been for about 8 years.

Is anyone taking 25 mg every 12 hrs? As opposed to 50 mg once a day?

I’m on 25 now and I’m doing so much better than when I started on 50. After this month of taking 25 I’d like to move up to 50 but I’m wondering if 25 mg every 12 hrs would work. I started on 50 a few months ago but the side effects were awful (constant nausea and heartburn) so I had to stop. The discontinuation was awful too.

How are you all manifesting money….just money

I’m not interested in attracting a higher paying job. I’m not interested in finding my dream job. I want to retire and take care of everyone I love. My dad is almost 80 and I want him to be able to retire. So how are we manifesting money?

Hayley really irritates me

I’m re-watching and I’m on season 4. I really don’t like Hayley and I don’t remember feeling that way my first go around. She’s less irritating in The Originals

I’m being charged $18 a month by Canva and I don’t have an account

I don’t have an account or even have the app downloaded (I only use my iPhone, I don’t even own a laptop). There are no charges under my media purchases through Apple. I even got a new debit card after the last charge but I have a new charge today! What is going on?

Why is the kissing so bad?

There’s nudity, semi-graphic sex scenes but the kissing is awful. It’s like if it were 2 middle schoolers going at. They can’t open their mouth? I really like the series but this is a glaring detail. I don’t understand how they let this fly

It’s actually annoying Elena ended up with Damon

The first time I watched TVD I of course wanted her to get with Damon. But now I’ve watched it 2 more times and I feel completely different. She should have ended up with Stefan

This food is the only thing that keeps the nausea away

So we’re supposed to eat an entire meal before we take our viibryd. Even then I still get nauseous. But get this…if I eat a bowl of frosted mini wheats then I’m fine. No nausea whatsoever. Just fyi for anyone dealing with the same thing

Felt great and now sleepy all the time

I started viibryd about 5 weeks ago on 10mg. I felt great! I had energy, was more motivated and didn’t want to spend all day in bed. I was supposed to start 20mg a week later but waited for the nausea to subside so it was almost 3 weeks. So I noticed that 20mg made me sleepy. I tried for almost 2 weeks but then went back down to 10mg thinking i wouldn’t be so tired. And I wasn’t as tired, but I almost felt as if the 10mg wasn’t doing anything at all. So I don’t know what to do at this point. Has this happened to anyone else? Does the fatigue go away? Or should I just try something else? I can’t do the sleepy meds. That’s why I’ve tried so many, because almost all of them make me tired. I’m also on Wellbutrin for the last 8 years. Thank you!

Has anyone taught their child to swim?

Hi all, I have an 8 year old girl and she’s never learned to swim. Have any of you successfully taught your older child? My parents taught me. That’s just how it was in the early 80s. I’m a single mom and I’m trying to avoid swim lessons, at least for now, because of the price. I want to get her comfortable in the water and I want her to be safe. I’d love to get her in to swim lessons and swim team eventually. Thank you!

My anxiety is really bad. I was away from my daughter (8 yr) for the first time since starting Viibryd and the bad thoughts were just racing through my mind the entire day/night. Did this happen to anyone and it improved? Or is Viibryd maybe not the right meds for me?

I came off of Pristiq about a month ago after being on it for a month because it was constant nausea and heartburn. It was awful. And the discontinuation syndrome lasted for weeks. So here I am on viibryd and the nausea is killing me. Like I’d rather be in labor than be nauseous. My doc told me to go up to 20 mg after a week but I’m thinking I should stay on 10mg until the side effects pass. What is your opinion? I’m curious what other longer term users think. Thank you!

Look I’m ready to retire. I want to manifest money. I want to get myself and my daughter out of our toxic living situation (my bil treats us both like garbage, he literally gives my 8 year old the finger when she walks by him, and my sister allows it. He’s awful). And I want to travel and give my daughter the life I never have (cliche I know). So I know gratitude is key. But what would you do/say/write to attract money? Not a dream job, just money! Thank you ♥️
