This medicine has done wonders for my depression, but like an hour or two after I take my pill, I become extremely drowsy. If I'm home, I end up napping for a few hours and if I'm working I can barely keep my eyes open. I read on one of these threads that someone took it in the evening with a bowl of cereal or ice cream so they could get the calories in with the pill.

Has anyone else had to do this? Again I really like what this medicine has done for me the past few weeks I've been on it but that side effect can't be ignored 😅

Anyone else just break down crying while little? I just feel so emotional and vulnerable. It's exhausting but usually I need it

I had a pretty adverse reaction to some medicine I took. Haven't eat or slept in days and today I purchased an unaliving kit on Amazon but promptly returned it and checked myself into the ER.

I was given some much-needed Xanax to relax, and now I'm thinking a little more clearly about my options. The doctor reassured me that any inpatient treatment would be VOLUNTARY but I'm well aware that if I refuse it, they can contest it and I can still be admitted against my will. But I'm ok with going, especially since I've been cleared for temporary medicaid to help me pay for it. I just want to get better and stop feeling this way. To clarify, I've been in a deep depressive/anxious spiral for a while but lately everything has just come to a head, especially since I responded so poorly to an NDRI when I really probably needed an SSRI or benzo.​

It doesn't mean I'm not a little scared. I've stayed in these facilities as a teen, but I'm hoping if I reframe my mindset, I can get the help I need. One of the hospitals they're talking about putting me in helped me a lot, and hopefully that is the one they can put me in.

My family is willing to help me pay some bills during my time missed at work. I have a great support system. I just hope I can finally put an end to this inner madness.
