    I know that this video is like a year old but I was just wondering about the interactions... If someone is taking fluoxetine as well as carbamazepine, do they both cancel each other out and make the Abilify be metabolized normally or does it not really work like that? Thanks

    These medications are trash. Talk to your doctor to get off then ASAP. After you get off then go strict carnivore and eat only beef, salt, and water. This will save you countless wasted our sitting in a psychiatrist’s office who will only make you more sick and damage your brain. Most likely no one will listen to this advice but that’s ok. More meat for me☺️

    Vyvance has changed my life. My wife is no longer in a carer role. My business was failing. Ive turned it around and, more important, love my work. I wake up feeling good, and my mood remains stable all day long. I call it Angel Dust. Downsides? Loss of appitite, plus food no longer tastes like anything. Sleep disruption. Worst: stomach pain and nausea/vomiting. Solution: I take a break on weekends. Trade off? No question. Benefits far exceed the costs. Saturated in gratitude to have it. Only wish is that it had been earlier. I got diagnosed at 66. Im on 20mgs.

    I have adhd and high functioning autism. I’ve also struggled for much of my adult life with depression/anxiety/low mood. I found out I have the mthfr mutation and take methylated b complex but is that enough? Should I also take SAMe? I’m a lot better but still not 100% and have to take adhd medication. I’ve also gone keto as I realised I was following the same path as my mum and nan (hypothyroidism, diabetes and then dementia) which I think are all linked. I really hope to avoid getting dementia with the knowledge I have and the dietary changes I’ve made. 🤞

    This medication is the only thing that has worked for me out of the 15 other meds I’ve tried. Leveled out on day 2, and only side effect for me was sweaty palms for a couple weeks but went away. It saved my life, literally. Hope it can help me save my marriage.

    @chaz6399 4 дні тому

    Here are some additional things that people need to know: * Fluoxetine is available in liquid form where 5 mL of the liquid contains the standard 20 mg dose. Why is this important? * Some people don't tolerate 20 mg of fluoxetine, or even 10 mg, but they might benefit greatly from 5 mg or even 2 mg or 1 mg. You can get doses this low by using the liquid form and measuring it by counting drops. Twenty drops is approximately 1 mL so: 25 drops ~ 5 mg 20 drops ~ 4 mg 10 drops ~ 2 mg 5 drops ~ 1 mg * Finally, your doctor may not even know Fluoxetine exists as a liquid, so you'll have to ask for it. Zoloft (aka sertraline) also comes in liquid form. If you're trying to taper off or trying to avoid side effects such as insomnia or feeling "wired" , give a smaller dose a try.

    In the 1970s in Chicago homeless people were getting cheap giant bags of popcorn. And it seems that eating a bunch of corn causes this deficiency. And now we have corn syrup and corn products in virtually every processed food. And we wonder why ADHD and other mental illnesses are through the roof…

    As a provider, it’s so important to take vacations off your meds. No one needs 20 mg of a stimulant 3 times a day. It’s frustrating to see providers set their pts up for failure and not paying attention to pt overall well being. Prolonged use can cause early dementia as well.

    I forgot my medicine at home while on vacation, so I abruptly stopped taking it for over a week and I feel sicker than I ever have in my life. Naseu, can’t sleep properly, confusion, fatigue, foginess, emotional, loss of appetite, flu like symptoms, body aches, and the list goes on. I need help!! I took my dose today after this lapse of time, but I’m worried that it will take days is not weeks to feel better again. Does anyone know the answer to this question?
