It's been a difficult process - finding the right dose for OCD - I could really use some success stories, if any of you feel like sharing. Thanks!!

Hey there! Has anyone had feeling light headed, like almost fainting, as a side effect in the first weeks on this med? I am struggling with this quite a bit, especially when the weather is hot. I am pretty sure it's orthostatic hypotension, as it is much worse when I get up suddenly. EDIT: Forgot to ask the most important question lol - if you had it, did it go away?

Czy ktoś mi może wytłumaczyć tę patologię temperaturową nocami w Beskidach w ostatnich dniach? Rozumiem, że za dnia wzrasta do 38 stopni, zrozumiałe - ale potem koło 20:00 opada, jak się można spodziewać, po czym rośnie z powrotem do 31 stopni i tak jest całą noc. Co to za przeklęte zjawisko? Może jak zrozumiem "skąd to przyszło" to prościej przeżyję fakt, że nie mogę wywietrzyć w nocy. Z góry dzięki!!

Hi there! I have increased the vortioxetine dose from 5 mg to 7,5 mg some 10 days ago and am currently experiencing mood swings, at the moment I get waves of intense emotions and cry over things that happened 20 years ago. Anyone experienced this side effect as well? Did it subside over time?

Wymyśliłam takie rozwiązanie: na pierwszej randce umawiamy się, że płacimy po połowie. Następnie ustalamy, że jeśli używamy frazy "idziemy gdzieś, robimy coś", to płacimy po połowie, chyba że od którejś strony padnie "zapraszam Cię", to wtedy ta osoba płaci całość, bo zaprasza jako "prezent/podarunek/jakkolwiek to nazwać". Ciekawi mnie co Wy myślicie o takim rozwiązaniu, albo jak inaczej to rozwiązujecie.

Hi there! Anyone here tried Trintellix / vortioxetine for OCD or other issues and had success? Just started 4 days ago and I am curious about other people's experiences.

Hej! Jak w tytule, ktoś wie coś o takich grupach i/lub chodził i może polecić?

Hey there! So I have recently started following my therapist's advice to sit with the anxiety instead of running from it by distracting myself (in example by using Reddit). Boy, this is so hard - is it supposed to feel like you are about to jump out of your own skin and make every intrusive thought true? It feels like a nightmare from the depths of frozen hell! 😬 Do you have any tips on how to better survive this stage?

Looking for bands from the 90s with a similar vibe to Blind Melon, available on YouTube - can you recommend something? Having an utterly sh*tty day and really need something to calm the anxiety. Please skip the well-known Grunge bands, I know them all (Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Audioslave etc.). Thanks in advance!

Man, what a lonely feeling. I have done a gazillion tons of work on myself these past several years, mainly when it comes to setting healthy boundaries. Which is of course great, but soon enough it turned out that the majority of close people that I had had in my life only kept me around because I had very little boundaries. As soon as I started setting the boundaries, guess what... poof, they were gone. And now I am in a weird place where I haven't really gotten to know any new people on a deep level and the old ones are gone - and sometimes I wish I hadn't done all this work, stupid I know! I know I am better off these toxic people, but it is such a lonely weird place right now. Ugh. 30sF

I have been wondering recently how realistic is it that one can find a person that wants to be in a purely monogamous relationship, both emotionally and sexually - and wants it by choice, not because of any religious pressure. I am talking no open relationship-thing, no polyamory-thing, no experiments-with-other-people-thing. I am asking from a perspective of someone who is not religious at all, it's just my personal choice that I want monogamy only. Has anyone felt as well like this is increasingly becoming a harder and harder thing to find?
