I was given 150 mg Effexor ER twice daily supply of 30 for 30 days for brain swelling caused by c19. Base facts about me,I have ptsd from professional careers and take prazosin prior for night terrors . Un noticed by doctors I was started on venlafaxine for c19 issues which isn’t correct. Also having 15 days of withdrawals with maximum dosage to kill a horse . I have begged for help and only give more antidepressants for my complaints finally someone gave me Prozac and Venlafaxine together man I felt so amazing like near death but nobody cares . Doctors are currently still practicing medicine on me . Stay tuned on my long term health issues that nobody understands because of long term SS toxicity levels and c19 My ptsd is like super ptsd now manic . Thanks 🙏🏿 great video
I gotta comment, because I have the same issues. I have 3 blown vertebrae and shoulders both have multiple tears. I kept telling them it hurt more than they implied. 1 year later, I asked for a second opinion. Within FIVE MINUTES, the orthopedic doctor told me I have cervical kyphosis in my neck. There's no surgical fix for women my age. Looked into it after the surgeon said he wasn't willing to operate, as success in my age demographic and sex is super low😢 I just went into the er, going through this, and they dismissed me entirely and sent me home. I've never been more irritated and angry, since that 5 minute kyphosis diagnoses. They had those mris and x-rays at my last doctor, without even looking
Just went through this this weekend. Never imagined i could be in that much distress and not be dying. The diarhea and vomiting(while menstruating, mind you. I know that's hard for some men to get) bruised my stomach muscles, my jaw and face were swollen, and i couldn't sleep for more than 30 minutes. There's so much to what i went through. I didn't wear pants for days(every time i vomited i also experienced diarhea). I lost all cognition, couldn't speak right, or type right, couldn't eat anything, everytime i drank water i puked it up. Pretty disappointed in my local er. Went in, in beginning stages, was released and called an addict. I have a pain management agreement, i want looking to get high, i was looking to not feel like i was having a heart attack and dying
@@wattsnottaken1 I learned that we can’t go back to who we were in the ways our culture acts like we can when we talk about recovery. But after any type of trauma we can grow stronger, wiser and more resilient than we were before. But I can’t magically undo that damage to my soul. So I haven’t gone back to who I was before I was drugged with a combination of things that gave me serotonin syndrome and a chemical lobotomy at the same time while constantly changing doses for years. I have been learning how to heal in ways that make me grow stronger, wiser and more resilient than before. I have evolved to be more than I imagined back then instead of going back to who I was which is actually impossible. The true option is to grow stronger, wiser and more resilient by how we process our challenges in life by using our emotions as alerts to strife that harms our soul or triggering old damage that we haven’t healed. Many times I thought someone was abusing me but I was projecting through unhealed wounds and seeing actions that were similar but actually that person was standing up for themselves because I was unstable. The more I heal the more I can rely on my emotions because they are just telling me about the environment now and I am not seeing through things because I healed them. But there is normal after trauma, there is only healing or staying broken and not healing those invisible or visible wounds. I hope that helps I am writing a book on healing from the trauma I survived.
Thanks for creating the great videos. I'm wondering if you're able to produce a video specifically related to the role of serotonin in GI disorders. Also, could you please explain how to interpret high urine 5-HIAA levels? I'm unclear if that means the serotonin levels are too high or perhaps that serotonin is too low as it's being converted to 5-HIAA and subsequently excreted. Thanks for your consideration.
It would be interesting to compare serotonin syndrome to hyperthyroidism or thyroid storm, Panic disorder, IBS D, hyperadrenergic POTS and menopause hot flashes. I was prescribed Lexapro for panic disorder. It made my panic attacks worse.
Have you ever seen this happen to someone just taking Prozac, same dose for years with no other meds except Xanax, no otc stuff, no street drugs, not even caffeine. I’m terrified this is going to randomly happen to me but I’m so cautious I don’t even take Tylenol.
If someone has mild, long-lasting (about a year and a half) mild serotonin toxicity, which unfortunately was not recognized by the doctors, how long does it take for the brain's serotonin level to recover without treatment after stopping the medication? Thank you very much for your help.
This happened to me after taking sumatriptan (generic imitrex) for the first time after a migraine aura began a few years ago. Within an hour, I was sweating profusely, extremely nauseous and anxious, and cognitively mixed up - I could not read or formulate sentences, it was so scary. I threw the box away asap!
I'm loving thes videos and learning agreat deal about asubjec that Istudied during the 70s but has clearly moved on so much since then. Howvwer, I do have a very simple request but one which I think would help many people a great - and would definitely help me! The request is, could you number the videos in their title so that we follow them in a structured sequence? I have watched 5 videos so far and so was surprised to hear you say, at the beginning of this one, that this was the FIRST in a mini series! I understand that the videos may well stand alone but, it can be very helpful to students to feel as though they are learning in a structured, coherent, way - even if such structure is not absolutely necessary. (I speak as a retired teacher.) This doesn't in anyway detract from the information given, nor the style you use - both of which I think are very good. Thanks for the time and energy you put into these series Andrew, it is greatly appreciated. 👍
