#zoloft review

[honeysuckle-s]

had an adhd assessment today and the psych was unable to make a dx because i did fine in elementary school (based on the numerical grades alone — not my teacher’s comments) and finished high school. i was in a gifted program but performed about average compared to classmates dude, I was actually underperforming but you can’t tell that from just my grades. oh and he also said that pursuing an autism dx would not be that helpful for me bc i seemed ‘high functioning’

#he refused to tell me if my assessment results met diagnosis criteria #and to take more zoloft to get my anxiety under control #then MAYBE we can see about formal adhd testing #my brother in christ i thought this was the formal testing? #he also clearly had not reviewed my pre-meeting assessment responses or my report cards or my family’s testimonies #he just asked me the same basic questions and cut me off when i tried to give examples/context #r rambles

[elliebore]

Unironically just thought ‘I haven’t taken my meds in like a week so now is the best time to try grapefruit’

I’m a mess

#I’m on sertraline #or Zoloft #whatever you wanna call it #also I haven’t taken my meds in a week bc I have to have a med review #and I’m Bad at getting things done #so I ran out but also still haven’t booked the review #don’t do what I do

[talesfrommedinastation]

I wish I could say you don't feel like a fraud or unaccomplished when you have the following:

A stable, well paid job in your field.

A Ph.D.

A husband who loves you.

Adorable kids.

A house you own.

No student loans.

Enough skills to make a key lime pie from scratch (including the crust) for cookbook club tomorrow.

An invitation from the NSF to serve as a paid reviewer.

A plethora of publications, both fanfic and paid work, journal pieces too.

Friends.

But I feel like such a fucking fraud, like why am I here.

Damn it, sometimes MDD and grief rides past the reality, the Wellbutrin and the Zoloft and the sunshine and strangles your mind until it doesn't want to do a thing. You want to sit in your office and inhale the scent of basil and blast Bear McCreary and stare at a wall.

And it fucking sucks because people need you right the fuck now.

We'll All Be Here Forever review

I feel like I need to talk about this, and now that it's been out for almost a month I have to.

This deluxe both crushed my soul and made it whole in ways I wish I could explain. The songs made me feel heard about things in the deepest corners of my mind, and made me feel so much less alone in daily struggles.

I'm gonna break down my opinions of every song from the deluxe that wasn't included on the original Stick Season.

Your Needs, My Needs - This song broke my heart. "Who was I to watch you wilt?" is one of the most beautiful lyrics I think I have ever heard. Once it gets to the "Zoloft, Subtle Change" I absolutely lose it. The vocals are beautiful and the lyrics are superb.

Dial Drunk- A BOP. First off I feel like this is the stay toxic anthem of the year. From start to finish it is SO catchy! The chorus hits home too. "I ain't proud of all the punches that I've thrown, in the name of someone I no longer know." Like, I feel that. The bridge also is so well written, the story telling is incredible and it's easy to dance alone in the kitchen to.

Paul Revere - While it's hard to rank the songs. This may be my favorite of the deluxe songs. The story of the ghost of a hometown, saying you're "not from around here." Leaving so early in the morning you're not seen, but still having your heart in the place you once called home. It hits me right in the chest, because it's the same feelings I have when I go back to my hometown. It feels like a shell but it's still home. I don't feel like I'm from there anymore, but my heart is still there to an extent. The sound of this song is also so nice, it's so soothing, it conveys the emotions beautifully. "If I could leave I would've already left" made me sob the first time I heard it.

No Complaints- This is my sobbing anthem. i genuinely cannot handle the outpouring of emotions, this song is beautiful. A work of art. "Now the weight of the world aint so bad" is a quote I need tattooed. Also, as someone who just got back on medicine for my mental health, "fill the hole in my head with prescription medication" really hit how i've been feeling about that. The tempo is perfect, the build ups are beautiful, and the lyrics are so expressive. Also, his vocals on this track absolutely melt me. Yes Noah, please.

Call Your Mom - I'm getting a tattoo of a quote of this song next week, so I feel a little bias. This song made me feel so heard. It made me feel so much less alone. "All lights turned off can be turned on," absolutely made me feel like I was going to be okay. It is so hard to explain how it feels to be in a mental health low/crisis. But I feel like this song captures it perfectly. I'm getting "Give yourself a reason" tattooed because it helped me realize that it's my responsibility to get myself better, and that's okay.

You're Gonna Go Far - I absolutely love this song. I love the POV of support for someone bettering themselves by leaving. Once again I think Noah's voice is absolutely incredible in this one, the Falsetto in this is absolutely heavenly. "We'll all be here forever, sure will." I love that. "Who the hell likes living just to die" also hits because sometimes it feels like that's all I do, and it reminds me to get out there!

TVBTV(Extended) - When I tell you I ugly cried. I lost it once it hit the voice overs. I was so not okay, sitting in my living room just bawling. The last lines he added to the song I feel like made it. I was obsessed and have listened to it probably 500 times since the release. It absolutely melts me.

Over all I loved this release, I genuinely felt like it was worth the wait. Noah continues to bring beautiful songs of absolutely incredible quality. I cannot wait to see what he does next, and will be enjoying every single song he has until then!

Album Review: Dance Gavin Dance - Dance Gavin Dance

Hey all!~ Hope you enjoy my review, I'm trying out a new format for the first time, so this is my dry run to see how it looks! :3

Thoughts on the album: Dance Gavin Dance has made so much music that has made my ears happy, as morally dubious of a band as they are. I'm a huge fan of the late 2000s post-hardcore sound, its much more intimate and honest feeling than modern offerings, feeling much more sterile. This album captures what I enjoy about that sound perfectly. It's an album that has a lot of expression and character, a distinct fun factor permeating the atmosphere of it. In true post-hardcore fashion, the guitar work and harmonies is (in most cases) immaculate, and keeps my silly ADHD brain very occupied, ESPECIALLY when listening with headphones, as the stereo mix is taken full advantage of. This album neither overstays its welcome or is too short, and has several absolute bangers to make it really memorable overall. This is a very danceable and singable album, which makes me happy, as someone who loves doing both to my music. There are a few tracks that don't hold my attention as well, but that's more than made up with the highs of this album. I'm a sucker for Kurt vocals too because I can match his sound pretty well.

And now we move on to the other section of the review, where I rate a couple extra aspects of the album concerning how well it sounds production wise, and how much it sounds like an album rather than just a collection of singles, I call this the cohesion factor.

Album Cohesion: The songs flow together well, and while there is no overarching concept, the songs do not feel as though they're individual singles slapped on an album. Exactly how a non concept album should feel.

Production Quality: Bass could be louder, however the rest of the instruments are mixed very well, and the vocals are placed very well in the mix too.

Track Thoughts:

Alex English: A very strong opening track, it has some very memorable sections. 4.5/5

Buffalo!: A song that's incredibly fun to sing and groove along to, short and sweet. 4.5/5

Me and Zoloft Get Along Just Fine: One of the most hard hitting choruses I've ever heard in a song, truly lovely. This is one of those "not a second wasted" type songs. 5/5

The Robot with Human Hair Pt. 3: The verses could be stronger, but there is also some amazing sections in this song, especially the middle and end bits. 4/5

Hot Water on Wool: Wonderful vocal harmonizing at the beginning, lovely opening. I love that there's delay guitar in the left channel and a more typical tone in the right, it keeps my mind very occupied. Truly a great song that has a great flow. The verse that starts with "maybe I'll sleep through a century" always has me singing along. 5/5

Hot Water on Wool (Reprise): Confusedly, this song was broken up into 2 parts, but it essentially still is the same song. Has some amazing guitar harmonies and goofy instrumental antics. 5/5

Uneasy Hearts Weigh the Most: The Dance Gavin Dance song, if there ever was one. A very lovely and catchy song, albeit a bit basic. I do very much enjoy it, but I don't feel as strongly about the compositional depth. 4/5

Caviar: A really pretty song, I really like the vocal trade offs with the guest singer, it works well. 4.5/5

Rock Solid: The lyrics and vibe of this song are really silly, but I think it adds to it a bit. The bit with Jon and Kurt is charming and funny and the outro is absolutely spellbinding. 4.5/5

Burning Down the Nicotine Armoire Pt. 2: Very nice bass lines, TASTY grooves once Kurt comes in with plucky sounding delayed guitar riffs in the background, overlaid with vocal harmonies. The chorus is incredibly tasty too. The refrain leaves a bit to be desired though. 4.5/5

Reprogramming Mental Preprogramming: This song is alright, I find it misses its mark in terms of catchiness or grooviness. It's not a bad song by any means, it's just one of the underwhelming songs of the album. 3.5/5

Skyhook: Great guitar harmonies and all the sections feel placed well. This song is short, and feels even shorter with how well it flows. 4.5/5

People You Know: This is the other song on the album that doesn't particularly do all that much for me. It's okay, but not amazing, feels underwhelming as a closer. I'm also not a big fan of the 2000s "hidden song" trope (save for The Man Land by BTBAM, its hilarious), and the hidden song here doesn't offer much. 3/5

Closing Thoughts: This is an incredibly fun album, from the bombastic instrumentals to the silly and also emotional vocals. This album has been a mainstay in my rotation and gets the Lily stamp of approval. <3

OVERALL ALBUM RATING: 4.5/5

[shoesofthefishermanswife]

In med school and also preparing for my exam. I have to learn a whole course about antidepressants so here it goes I guess !

Hi! I'm sure that the majority of this will be pretty basic review but let's talk about it!

The first generation of antidepressants were monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). They were originally invented to treat tuberculosis but in 1953 Iproniazid was developed and patients taking it showed improvements in their depression symptoms. As their name suggests, they function by inhibiting the breakdown of monoamine neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, ect) by the enzyme monoamine oxidase, and this leaves more neurotransmitters available for synapse. The problem with this method is that there are monoamines in our food. Patients taking MAOIs have to be careful eating foods that contain lots of tyramine because it can't be broken down. High levels of tyramine can cause sudden increases in blood pressure and even cerebral hemorrhage! Understandably, MAOIs aren't prescribed very often anymore.

The next generation of antidepressants, known as tricyclic antidepressants, was developed in the late 50s. These work by inhibiting both serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake. They are also antagonists for postsynaptic adrenergic α1 and α2 receptors, muscarinic receptors, and histamine H1 receptors. Reuptake inhibition is the mechanism found in a lot of our current antidepressants, but they're a little bit more focused.

In the late 80s, Fluoxetine was finally approved by the FDA and SSRIs continue to dominate the antidepressant landscape. SSRI stands for Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, and they do what their name suggests, inhibiting the serotonin transporter (SERT) at the presynaptic axon terminal. This leaves more serotonin (5-HT) available for synapse. Additionally, SSRIs target the 5-HT1A autoreceptors. This seems counter productive at first, because the autoreceptor activation slows 5-HT production and release. But over time, this builds autoreceptor tolerance. Generally, autoreceptors can shut off signaling when there's too much and is a main contributor to building drug tolerance. But since the autoreceptor is now being activated, that shut off function loses efficacy and the extra 5-HT in the synapse from SERT inhibition doesn't cause tolerance to be built up (as much). This is why it takes SSRIs weeks to kick in because the two processes do cancel each other out until the autoreceptors have gotten tolerant. There is variety within SSRIs. Fluoxetine (Prozac) has a half life much longer than Sertraline (Zoloft) and takes longer to get peak plasma concentration.

Serotonin-Noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors work very similarly, they just also inhibit norepinephrine reuptake. (Say what you will about anti-depressants, at least they're named straightforwardly lol). Some patients respond better to SSRIs, some respond better to SNRIs. Unfortunately, a lot of patients don't respond well to either and they can come with difficult side effects.

Moving on from depression, let's talk a little about anxiety and anxiolytics. One of the key brain changes in general anxiety is reduced PFC inhibitory control, associated with reduced GABA(A) receptors. This is coupled with amygdala overactivity. Benzodiazepines help regulate anxiety by increasing GABA control. They do so without nearly as many side effects as the previous barbiturates, and took off in the 1960s. But because they act on GABA, mixing benzodiazepines with alchohol (also acts on GABA) creates lots of abuse potential (think of the Valium + martini housewife). The positive side to this is that benzodiazepines can be used to help someone with alcohol withdrawal, which is otherwise very dangerous. Second generation anxiolytics are partial agonists for 5-HT1A receptors. Moving away from GABA reduces the abuse potential, but also makea the drugs less effective. Generally, SSRIs are prescribed for anxiety before other classes of drugs.

Hope that was a good basic review!

#good luck on your exam!! #and thank you :) #asks

izzy update:

1. turns out i’m dying because my new (already lower) dose of zoloft tablet has been improperly manufactured -- i was the 17th person my psychiatrist has seen in the last two week who has shit out on their meds because of this. so if u take zoloft tablets produced by cipla (it’ll say on ur bottle) and suddenly ur shit isn’t working anymore, talk to your doctor abt getting a capsule version or going brand for a bit. 

anyway all this is to say, i’m not crazy, i didn’t do anything wrong, i just got unlucky with a bad batch of pills, and the timing of it lining up with my pms means i was probably absorbing almost no zoloft at all, essentially throwing my body into cold-turkey withdrawal. i’m gonna get back on my higher dose capsules for now and i’ll go back to tapering down when we can get our hands on some meds that aren’t fucking busted. 

2. i scheduled an appointment for next week with a neurological rehab that may be able to help with my dysautonomia -- i’m skeptical but tentatively hopeful, the methods make sense to me and this clinic has exclusively positive reviews from patients with chronic pain and fatigue. no clue if my insurance is going to cover any of it though but like. fingers crossed and will keep you guys posted.

3. i also cleaned my room, cooked lunch, washed the dishes, took out the recycling, and didn’t cry at all today. the power of taking a sick day tbh. i’m really proud of myself for getting all this done and handled and getting things back on track now that i know what’s wrong and what we’re doing to fix it. i should only feel This Bad for a few more days and then things will start to be good again. 

#ik some pals were worried about me so i figured i'd share this instead of just journaling it #thank u guys for eternally putting up with my fuckin. whiplash whirlwind of bullshit. #all will be well again soon. #and if the neurological rehab shit actually works? even better. #izzy.txt

[pinkspiraling]

i told myself i wasn’t gonna lie to doctors anymore but i just remembered that i did! so now i’m worried about the zoloft and i’m reading people’s experiences and so many of them are bad but i’m trying not to worry. i mean SSRIs always have shit reviews ….obviously

#pink never shuts up

zoloft and weed review: i havent felt this refreshed since i had that k2/ket shit passed off as delta 8!!!!

#do not buy delta 8 from malls for the love of fuck #i learned the hard way #you will get ket withdrawals like i did

[thoughtsafter3am]

I thought I was anxious before but then I realized I have an article, proposals at two different conferences, and my comprehensive exams all being reviewed at the same time so that zoloft is having to work overtime now.

[doxiehasfeelings]

Started this as a lil side blog following my absolutely collapse into feelings from having forgotten request my repeat prescription of Effexor.

Context: I've been on various anti-depressants for years and years now (Zoloft, Effexor are the big two, but I've also been on Prozac, Celexa and more). Last year was a year of tremendous change and healing for me: it turned out I 'just' had ADHD and a butt load of unprocessed trauma that got addressed with my diagnosis, starting Vyvanse, and undertaking a set of EMDR sessions back in the summer of last year.

I've felt so... secure since then. I work professionally with a bunch of clinical psychologists/therapists/mental health folks and during the Vyvanse shortage in October time was the only blip I had - turns out I can manage my feelings when I am not immediately drowning in them! Wild, I know.

Back to now: Anyhow, while suffering from the worst brain zaps I've had in a long time, I'm realising that Effexor has just been numbing my feelings all along and I don't actually want that to happen. I knew this to an extent: I requested to go back onto antidepressants after a year of not being on them after I developed PTSD-symptoms following surgery and an inciting incident at work. I did this because I knew that it would blunt those feelings and I didn't want to take time off work while I waited for therapy to start (I don't regret this, but I also don't recommend it).

However this is actively harming me now and so I need to come off them. I realised this today following me forgetting to re-order my medication. Subsequently, I've not taken Effexor in 3 days now. I'm not anxious, I'm not depressed, but I am incredibly sad. My mother died in January, and while I've cried a bit and been sad, I've never thought that I reacting with the intensity that I expected to. Grief is different for everyone and how we react is completely unique depending on so many different variables.

But my mother died unexpectedly and suddenly in her sleep at a very young age. She was my inspiration and my rock and I love her very much. On reflection, I have spent the last few months mostly disassociated. I've had a few tears, but nothing from what I expected. Today is the first time I've actually felt grief in a way that I kept expecting to feel after my wonderful Mum vanished from my life. I've cried for nearly an hour now and am tearful while writing this. It feels like I've finally unlocked a part of me that I couldn't access before now.

So! I've requested a medication review with my GP, I'm going to come off Effexor. As tempting as it is to just go cold-turkey (given how I'm feeling right now and the fact that I'm already accidentally two days into this, I ran out of meds on Sunday) but I'm also not an idiot so will be tapering off slowly.

(Verywellmind.com on the symptoms of antidepressant discontinuation syndrome)

I want to reiterate: I am a grieving adult woman who has experienced sad things happening to her. Having feelings is normal! Having sad feelings is normal!

I guess I'm starting this as a way to chronicle my own journey though my emotional wellbeing and how I'm starting to move away from relying on medication to manage my feelings.

This is not a blog that attacks medication and the need of it for folks who have issues around their mental health. For some people, medication for mental health is a requirement to live a healthy life and this absolutely should not be ignored. If you need an anti-depressant, mood stabilisers, anti-psychotic etc etc, keep on it. I'm working with my health providers to ensure I'm healthy while doing this, and my context is very different to that of a lot of other folks.

Starting the year off with mixed emotions

In bed at 4AM and had to use the bathroom - getting off meds gives me stomach issues. I have a panel interview on Tuesday aka tomorrow and I will finish up everything today. In accordance with an IG post about adhd and tasks I want to be upfront about my concerns

Worried I will not do a good job on the demo - it’s more technical and less PowerPoint

There is a part on my. Background and I need to work on that. I have solid advice from the guy that I recorded ! So I will review that video and do what I need to do.

I will do my best and of course tell myself - that what is written for me will happen I just have to do start it.

The discomfort here is how important it feels in my job search to do really well given how little interviews I have gotten! However that does not mean I won’t do a good job! I am charismatic and I am prepared. They win if they get me!

After the interview I can destress and breathe and celebrate!

InshAllah I will also hear back about the new place I get + maybe the other role will get back to me.

I need to go somewhere nice and wonderful to sit at. Even if it means I have to go on a bus and go far away to finish it. Try a new cafe. Just don’t be close to home. Pack up all essentials and go. Afterwards treat urself to a dessert/time w friends/ dancing / whatever you need that will ensure u r sharp for the next day!

11 AM is your next day and you will be ready and done by 12! a whole day to enjoy !!!!

Sister travels on Friday so I will go home and spend time with my mom.

We are not really talking right now because she went off on me the other day and said all kinds of stuff because I didn’t come home right away after my friend left. Once again used a lot of insults and said I’m not a good Muslim. Not a fan of that! Understandably.

2024 is my year to take it easy. To get excited about new opportunities and schemes and overall growth!

I will land something. In due time. If anything this is a good way to reasses how I spend and how quick I am to spend!

All will be fine. AlhamdilAllah.

Also on final days of Zoloft withdrawl!! literally remaining meds are almost done.

Yesterday I went bowling and I got to compete for dinner and while I did lose - man I loved being competitive !!!! I missed that!!! I want more activities like this!

I also did so much packing this weekend. Everyone says it’s far too early and I don’t care. I know what works for me and chaos doesn’t help anyone !!!

Plus I really enjoyed my work - I was so creative and I got to use all the packing tape I had. this will serve me well in my new home soon when I will know where everything is supposed to be!! I also got to throw out stuff I don’t need!

Also this is the year and the time to recognize that I do not need to be incredibly invested in everyone’s lives and well being when they also don’t do the same for me. It’s ok to not check in with everyone all the time. That sets me up for hurt because I expect them to do the same for me and man people rarely do!

AlhamdilAllah as usual and I know I will be creative and strategic and this will all pay off. I will continue setting boundaries and keep myself at the center of my life. No shame in that.

AlhamdilAllah for everything.

summer classes

started, woot! well, A&P started a week ago, pharm is coming on tues! eeek!!! is gonna be a hella busy summer, 2 CLASSES. fast paced, my slow ass. no positive, I AWESOME.

heh. bf.... we has trouble again with communication. my mind goes somewhere, ever since the brain injury my mind goes lala like... spaces out and then i come back to the present. is weird. my bf knows i have trouble forgetting things like dude, recovering alcoholic, anorexic, bipolar is i, add brain injury and getting hit by a car (thankfully landed on my arm so it helped break the fall but damn, L arm and flank be sore).

took notes. so much to do. fedex, maintenance request, A&P, prep for pharm....... decorate tf outta my apt. been depressed to do anything, now with zoloft and looking forward to classes, i'm...... doing better. just need to gain weight BUT OMG CALORIES, IT'S SO HARD. at this point, i would rather drink my calories, filling full makes me SCREAM. but when i'm hungry, i feel sick and pain. i go back and forth, throw up here and there. not everyday, maybe once in a week or not even. right now it's about restricting, kinda hard to throw up when you barely have anything in you.

imma go outside and smoke a ciggy and watch the tubes before i go back to my notes. don't particularly want bf to come, want to focus on school and it's almost 6p. aside from the review questions and exam 1, i didn't really do anything up until now.

ugh, i need to be more assertive. he has no problems doing it to me, why tf not the other way around? be stern. WE NEED TIME TO OURSELF CUZ WE GOT SHIT TO DO. kinda thing.

anyways LATERS FOR NOW i need to post here more often BUT i have an actual journal i can write in OMG BF IS HERE UUUUGH i love him but omg, can i PLEASE have me time. i'll have to learn to study when he's around, i do have 2 bedrooms for a reason :)

[thewinstersoldier]

We out here working through our depression.

I started sertraline October 2021 and I wanna say I stopped taking it January 2023...but I'm going to start taking it again bc I truly cannot raw dog life like this LMAO

Here is my review! When I first started it, the anxiety was RIPPED from my body, anxiety WHO!?

but along with that came emotional numbness and like I was in a constant haze. I wasn't depressed, I was just existing and I felt nothing.

Once I adjusted I was fine and living my life BUT I was regularly using marijuana so that was interacting with my meds and I DO NOT recommend mixing the two AT ALL. I would smoke bc I wanted to feel emotions again but in turn that gave me crippling anxiety suddenly and paranoia so lmao don't do it it's not worth it bc it took hours to come down from really bad thoughts.

And I rarely drink but when I did drink on those meds they made me feel so so so so bad so also don't rec that.

That being said, I'm doing a clean start this time and not mixing SHIT sooooo stay tuned.

It's true though about the NO FEELINGS, I literally couldn't cry and I did not care about anything which can be a pro and a con depending on the situation.

And the low libido...if you like fckin or whatever then say goodbye cos u can't c*m....I'm ace anyways so that doesn't matter to me but I know for a lot of people that is something that is hard to deal with.

Anygays if anyone has questions about Zoloft I don't mind answering!

fdgdfg

the moment I got up tbh I started making phonecalls to like medical providers and such cause I'm still in need of a prescriber, the only person I got on the books with as of today is booked out until June and I was like omg, I'm gonna keep calling places and seeing if anyone can take patients sooner but at least I have SOMETHING if I cant find anyone else, hopefully I will be able to like, refill my current meds enough times out of pocket worst case scenario? I'm not like all too sure about how that stuff works but I can look into it ;;

I'm also still in need of someone who can keep prescribing my HRT and it's been sort of a wild goose chase with that cause it's not as like, streamlined in CT than it is in OR which is not surprising, just in case I've been halving my daily dose of the gel to stretch what I got longer cause out of pocket that would definitely be super expensive but I don't wanna run out and just have like an indeterminate amount of time with no testosterone whatsoever ,,, I think I may have made some headway today like contacting a clinic and I requested my info get faxed over, the person said on the phone it might take 1-2 weeks to get the info reviewed and looked at before I get a call back though so like ahhhh but it's alright this is exactly why I've been rationing my stuff

It might also be a good idea to start rationing my psych meds just in case like ;; I've done it before when I had trouble getting my zoloft I would take 1 pill instead of a 1.5 pills a day, lamictal I can probably get away with one pill instead of 2 a day but again like I gotta see. anyway my brain is burnt out, cause I was also like doing a ton of stuff online to transfer like medical record stuff and none of the portal sites are as easy as kaiser's was
