How do you get up in the morning when you feel like you have been hit by a truck? I dread life every morning. What do you do to get through the day?

I'm awaiting my prescription (1sachet) from the pharmacy. I know Google says to take it at night but has anyone experienced nausea during the night while sleeping? I've had it before but took it during the day. I didn't feel great on it (or it was the uti) a day or two later. Can I take it late afternoon? I really don't want to lose sleep due to nausea.

I wake up early every morning with nausea and it's not relieved until I have a bowel movement a few minutes later. I also have anxiety but not sure why I wake up every morning with nausea. I don't get nausea in the daytime before a bowel movement. Can anyone explain this or have recommendations?

I've been on this dose for almost a year for nerve pain and anxiety but I've been dizzy and have had blurry vision every day. I've tried smaller doses during the day with the same exhausting fatigue. I just can't take it during the day. Do you think if I take it earlier in the evening I won't be as drunk the next day?

I'm on month seven after covid with extreme lightheadedness. I assume it's long covid, but is it worth it to see a doctor or neurologist or is this just something that will last until long covid dissipates?

The dose I've been on (200mg) for a year, at night, has stopped working for my anxiety. and nerve pain (neuropathy). My psychiatrist suggests increasing it, as does a neurologist, but I'm trying to decide if a 25/25/200 schedule is ok and not too big of an increase. She just says try it, but I don't have faith in some doctors' recommendations, unfortunately. Just my past experience. Any recommendations about this increase? Too big, too small?

Has anyone found a remedy for the horrible fatigue and sick feeling the day after belatacept infusion?

I normally take 200mg at night for anxiety, but by daytime it's worn off so I am trying 25mg of that during the day. My anxiety feels better, but I am drunk/dizzy. Is there anything I can do or will it get better? Wondering if I should take some meclizine or something but don't want any more fatigue.

I don't even know if I have long covid but after eight months now from covid, I don't know how to deal with this fatigue. I could literally pass out on my couch. I am in spinal fusion surgery recovery after a year and still in pain so don't know if that's causing my fatigue. Also heightened anxiety from all of it, so that also doesn't help. I need to walk to strengthen my back, so sitting and resting is difficult. It's a double-edged sword. Can I take anything to help with energy?

Are these a common side effect of lc? I've had my vision checked but it's not my vision. It's not vertigo exactly. Just feel like I'm going to teeter over when walking. Is this common?

I started l-lysine 500mg twice a day about four days ago, but I believe I'm having a paradoxical reaction as my physical anxiety is off the charts. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm (73f) going on seven months since covid. I know this extreme fatigue is common. But is equilibrium being off another symptom? I constantly feel like I'm walking drunk or on a boat...without the fun. Is this common?

Has anyone found something that helps with the excruciating fatigue with lc? I'm on month seven since covid and can't deal with the debilitating fatigue.

I've been put on estradiol for chronic utis but told to only use it twice a week. I am following the instructions but wonder if others are using it for utis, and how many times a week.

Has anyone found anything else besides the cream version of estradiol(0.01)? I can't stand the mess, ha. Am reaching out to my gynecologist but my urologist just put me on it for chronic utis. I'm 73f, post menopausal with dryness. Have had both ovaries removed. She said all of that is a breeding ground for utis.

Update: Thanks to all for the tips. I wasn't massaging it in good enough, which left half of it on my finger. Now I know!

Has anyone taken over a year for pain relief? I'm sixteen months post op (Spinal fusion from T10 to pelvis and ALIF L5-S1 for scoliosis) and still visiting pain management with challenging pain. Just wanted to know if I'm not alone. (Please don't tell me "that's not normal") I've tried numerous second and third opinions from surgeons. All say imaging looks fine.

I'm seven months out from covid and exhausted beyond belief. Is this a long covid indicator? Is there nothing that can be done for the fatigue?

I take 20mg at night but wanted to try daytime for anxiety. I took 20mg last night, and then at noon today but my anxiety is off the charts. Will I eventually adjust to it as I stop taking it at night?

Update : Took that dose (20mg) the next day. Huge mistake. Too close to the nighttime dose. Felt miserable and it literally almost knocked me out from tiredness, anxiety and fatigue for twelve hours. Live and learn...

I have normally taken my 20mg at night but lately I have been having extreme physical anxiety symptoms during the day and wondering if I should take it in the daytime. Has it helped anyone's anxiety during the day?

I drink tart cherry juice before bedtime and it helps me sleep. I have anxiety during the day, though, and wonder if drinking it during the day would help, or would it make me too tired? Has anyone ever tried this?
