restlesstrucker15 said:Dear forum members, it has been quite some time since my last update. For the most part, I am doing alright; my Elice is performing its function, yet I find myself still struggling with persistent insomnia and a growing dependency on hypnotics. Has anyone here utilized Clonazepam for sleep issues, and if so, what dosage did you find effective? My doctor suggested introducing it because of my current reliance on Valium and Dormicum—since Cerson hasn't provided any relief—as a way to facilitate a break from standard hypnotics. She isn't a proponent of using antipsychotics to treat insomnia, and I've found that classic benzodiazepines, such as 20 mg of Valium, merely relax me without actually inducing sleep. I am hopeful that these tablets might offer some assistance, at least by allowing me to step away from the usual hypnotics for a while.😉

Harold Anderson3 said:So, I’ve been on 75 mg of this medication, but I ended up stopping because I couldn't find it at any local pharmacy for about a week, and by then my prescription had already expired. It turns out I haven't actually taken it for three weeks now, and honestly, I don't feel much of a difference; my mood seems pretty much the same as it was before. I'm feeling a bit conflicted about whether I should just jump back on it or if I really ought to check in with my doctor first. She isn't exactly thrilled when I start tweaking my own treatment plan, so I have a feeling she won't be too happy hearing that I've been off it for three weeks. Does anyone have some advice? I am still being very consistent with the other two medications I take, Zyprexa and Risperdal.

but hey—the grass belongs to me, and I’ll burn it how I please...

Just kidding. Mostly. 🙂

Larry Lewis said:I used to be absolutely reckless—just drowning everything in whatever was within reach, whether it was booze or weed... honestly, looking back, I’m just incredibly lucky I didn't end up in a ditch or worse, but I've finally come to my senses. It was all just a desperate attempt to escape reality, I suppose.

Kenneth Scott41 said:Yeah, I suppose you're right about that. It’s just that on those particularly rough days, I occasionally find myself saying or doing things so incredibly foolish that I have to stop and wonder, "Wait, was that actually me? Did I really just say that?"

I seem to recall you mentioning that you've been on antidepressants for quite a while now, and I was wondering if that's something people just stay on for the rest of their lives? I ask because I've found an Effexor dose that works for me, but I get this nagging feeling that if I were to miss my pills for even two days, I might just completely fall apart...

Kenneth Scott41 said:I think I've finally found my 🙂 and honestly, I’m feeling pretty good about it. I guess there's no more need for all this endless trial and error.

Carl Bennett10 said:This isn't even folk or ethnic music—who actually said that? From what I've heard and seen, the band has never even claimed to be that kind of group... In a few years, you're going to feel pretty silly for dragging them like this. 😉

granitebadger10 said:Nobody was actually comparing Tamara Obrovac to them 😉 but since this is just their first single, they're decent—it's definitely not some catchy pop tune to me, more like something new they're trying to push into the US music scene... I think they can do better, though, and I truly believe they will.😉

granitebadger10 said:Hey, just curious—when you hear the word "ethno," does it actually mean anything to you? 😉

wiredmason56 said:So, my doctor wrote me a script for Effexor instead of Wellbutrin, claiming they were basically the same thing, just made by different companies. 😕 I mean, she clearly doesn't get it at all, because Effexor works on serotonin and norepinephrine, while the other one hits norepinephrine and dopamine. They are two completely different beasts; she's totally lost it. 😂 Anyway, I finally took a dose after a long break and now my jaw is twitching a bit, my pupils are dilated, and I feel all restless... kind of like how Kenneth Scott41 felt on Cymbalta. 🤷

Maria Long3 said:Faded, I've been at it for two full days now—making progress quite quickly, I think.🙂

Woohoo! Way to go! I'm crossing my fingers that everything lands perfectly for you!http://yoursmiles.org/gsmile/people/g2213.gif

Chloe Garcia10 said:So, I started taking half of my 10 mg Alice dose this morning.
I’ve already had to run to the bathroom three times with diarrhea, and honestly, the dizziness is hitting me way harder than usual.
I'm assuming these are just the side effects kicking in.
Has anyone else dealt with Alice before?

wiredmason56 said:Honestly, the weirdest part for me was that it actually helped me relax during that first night, and I finally got some decent sleep. But then, every single night after that, things just got weirder. Like, the dreams were absolutely nightmare fuel. And that one night when I skipped my dose? Ugh, just awful. 😲 Now I’m honestly sitting here wondering if I should even bother staying on it or not.🙂

urbanskipper4 said:I was only on Tegretol for a week. It made me feel incredibly nauseous and kept making me want to throw up. Gross!

Peter Wilson2 said:I'm one of those people who sleeps way too much, and honestly, it feels like I'm sleeping even more now. Up until this point, I thought I could handle just about anything—Lexapro, Paxil, Seroquel, Zyprexa, Anafranil, Xanax, God knows what else, I can't even remember it all—but this stuff? Good grief, not this.
