This pill might not be right for you. It is a commen side effect but it doesn't have to be. I took 4 different pills till I found the right one that works for me. Maybe talk to your doctor about trying a different one.
Hi!! Ive been on birth control for the past 3 years and when I started it made me feel this way as well. After being on them for awhile it honestly went away it just took time but It also may be the brand not working for you the best as others could! If you are able I would recommend maybe a different type of birth control such as the implant, shots, patches, or etc just to see whats best for you
@Aubree12 How did you know to not stop taking it and wait it out?
I FEEL THIS. I started about a month and a half ago and had to stop two days ago because it was making me depressed and suicidal. Right now I’m waiting out the storm and hoping my brain and hormones rebalance and hopefully try a different brand
As my current mental health has definitely reached a new low, I will probably soon start with medication. However, since I am actually somewhat afraid of the typical side effects of antidepressants and mood-stabilizers, I wanted to ask anyone who is or has been taking medication for OCD and or depression (and mood-swings). I recently got also diagnosed with depression (I’ll be further tested for burnout) and I also suffer from pretty intense mood swings and anxiety, both really draining the last bit of energy that I currently have. You can honestly be as specific and descriptive as you want since I don’t know any people in my personal life that take any medication for their mental health and I’m genuinely curious about side effects, how long the different meds take to kick in, etc. The only meds I’m familiar with are beta blockers, specifically bisoprolol but I want to switch to propranolol.
I just got my SSRI’s and I’m kinda nervous to take them so I was wondering if anyone has had a good or bad experience with them.
17f It's day 18 of taking 50 mg of Zoloft And while it doesn't do shit for my OCD, it's still terrible, tbh even worse than it was before meds I almost constantly feel that weird forced happiness-anxiety. I can't sit still, I constantly have new thoughts, good and bad, I constantly feel some weird energy I need to put somewhere but I can't. Like im myself am on the calmer and quieter side. Also I hate physical touch. But on meds. I'm suddenly so energized and extroverted, I'm constantly talking and also I became extremely physically affectionate which is so fucking weird. It's just like im not me anymore, real version of me was replaced by this weirdly happy fake one which is not even that happy, but OCD is still there and is still terrible.
