Is it safe to take Sertraline when you have Raynaud's? My sister has primary Raynaud's and has just been prescribed Sertraline, so I'm a little worried if it's going to have any adverse effects on her physical health.
Does anybody else with Raynaud's take Sertraline or psych meds in general? If so, how is it for you?
Thanks in advance.
do watch this when you all get time. While medication may offer no cure to depression, (and here they argue anti-depressants don’t even fight the symptoms but which in my case it does) what do folks like me do when circumstances around are unforgiving, continue to be stacked so much against you and your sanity, sense of self worth, dignity is deeply imperiled ? Your grievously sick wife whom you love so much separates from you and you feel terrible for being a failed care taker, friends judge you & abandon you, you lose home, dogs? Professionally too you are a failure making no headway in career and this nothing really has to do with mediocrity or a deeply abominable temperament (flawed yes but then who isn’t?) but some voodoo or spell that repeatedly jinxes you? Anything you try - work, relationship, pursuits has always ended in failures, alienating you and wrecking prospects for a meaningful and fulfilling life. Grief and despair overwhelms your life everyday.
In such circumstances my medicines have at least given me some functional capacities helping me in keeping a veneer of sanity on an otherwise deeply lacerated self & soul. What do you further do when one just doesn’t have any emotional support whom one could count on, trust and our vulnerable self is not mocked at…?
Ideally no medicines should be taken yes but in circumstances like mine and likes, where and what options do we have? it’s not our brains but the context that precipitate such panic, anxiety, despair and anguish that don’t let go and an entire life has been nothing but visits of one disaster after another…in many instances without any trigger the brain short circuits and one is depressed…so what is the way out?
Somehow this documentary does not give a nuanced picture but merely demonises the pharma industry without deeply going into conditions that thousands of such beleaguered souls face. The left-liberal wokes with their eternally warped and twisted cognitive state are wreaking havoc in so many domains and mental health too is not immune from their ability to distort and condemn certain possibilities, however limited, without any nuance or less judging proclivities. Would like to see these same intellectuals being repeatedly assaulted by crippling and mind numbing traumas and see if they still continue mouthing their vitriolic against pharma capitalism? 😠 The desperate will cling to any leaf or twig when drowning in a whirlpool of loss, shame and hurt!

The pristique is really helping with my depression, but it has completely removed my sex drive. I’ve lived with bipolar hyper sexuality my whole life, never been on an ssri. My partner isn’t happy. But I can’t say I’m not enjoying it. I can focus on so much more now, I don’t feel this intense urge to get off multiple times a day anymore. But I don’t want to always feel like this. I want to still enjoy and have sex. #BipolarDepression #Sex #SexAndRelationships #Antidepressants

Recently our Mighty creative team had a casual conversation about how certain types of meds or supplements can cause our dreams to become more vivid.
So that got us thinking — what have your dreams been like? Do you remember them? Have they been haunting you during the day?

Does anyone find it frustrating when you need your meds, so you have to see a prescriber, but the cost of the appointments keeps you in debt, or at least adds to it? I'm not saying whomever you see doesn't deserve to be paid, but I'm talking about the difficulty it might pose for you.

I went off my antidepressant for a little bit. I went back on and now everyone thinks I’ve lost my marbles when my true personality shines through!😂 #MoodDisorders #BipolarDisorder #BipolarDepression #Depression #Antidepressants #MentalHealth

I asked my boyfriend to take me to Urgent Care tomorrow, but he said he's going into work (he can choose to work from the motel, but if he doesn't go into the office sometimes, he says he'll lose his office space). I consider this important.
Ever since I got the cold or whatever it is/was (not Covid--I was tested at the doctor), the lymph nodes on the left side of my face and both sides of my neck (but especially the left) have been swollen and sometimes a bit sore in spots.
On top of that, my dental problems seriously need addressing. My mouth is always uncomfortable (not pain, usually, but my upper lip is tightening and sinking in), my teeth are broken, rotten, and sharp (and some missing), a dental pin is sticking out and often scratches the inside of my mouth (wiping my mouth causes this as well), and I taste something metallic from at least one of the teeth (it doesn't taste like the abscesses I've had before, but I'm sure there's at least one abscess) all the time (even when I eat). I'm extremely limited as to what I can eat, and I already had trouble finding healthy things I could eat so it's much worse now, and when I stay in the motel all day, I have to rely on my boyfriend, who only wants to get something cheap and convenient.
I get mild sore throats (they had been worse, but not too bad) and earaches (much rarer) off and on, but not nearly as often.
I can't and don't want to go alone. It's an OCD problem for me to go to a medical office, but my main reason for not wanting to go alone is, I'm scared.
Please be honest: Am I being unreasonable?

Hey, I've been in a good place lately and I've been thinking about quitting my #Antidepressants
I'm pretty sure I'm having some side effects to the medication and I've been thinking about quitting for 4 years. I'm just scared to try. The what ifs and all.
If you have any experience in quitting to take antidepressants, please share! Or any info at all about it
Almost 6 months ago, I got off Lamotrigine and now my only remaining regular dose med is Lexapro (escitalpropram) I am on 20mg. My depression has been pretty bad, although I can do things like make dinner, grocery shop and do laundry. I am sleeping about 13 hours a day. I am out of the us and will be for a couple more months. I am wondering if a boost in my Lexapro will help me. I don’t want to add back latuda or Lamotrigine cause of the side effects. I am a 58yo woman, 5’10 175lbs, I am bi-polar 2 with severe anxiety disorder. What are other peoples doses of Lexapro? #Antidepressants
