I cannot thank you enough for making this video because no one talks about the side effects and the shame of stigma/weight gain and I was always an athlete. Scared to taper off but inspired🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’m so proud of the work you did, and I completely relate to learning your triggers and identifying what you need to help heal those things
That‘s really useful information. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Thank you so much for this! I officially now made it, too! Your videos have been a great support :) I am truly grateful for you!
I feel stressed knowing I'll have to invest so much energy taking care of myself, just the basics. How do I deal with working on my career, being productive, doing fun stuff with my bf, travelling...? How do I balance all of it? I feel so guilty I make my bf's life more difficult due to my anxiety and requiring so much time for working on myself JUST TO STAY NORMAL. I feel so discouraged thinking of the future. I am tired of working on myself.
I can relate to this 🙂 I'm 37, been on ventalxine for a few years after my mum's passing. Over time the side effects were getting quite bad, so 2 weeks ago I started to taper off, I'm sleeping so much better at night and my blood sugars are becoming more balanced, tinnitus has gone, no daily naps anymore (I had to nap most days!) Although the Brain Zaps have been bad some days, I key into any overstimulation so then I slow down / gentle yoga and meditation 🙏🏼 I have cried a few times and had some inner rage, also laughed, I guess getting used to feeling emotions again 🙈
I've also managed to exercise a little bit more without the offset of a migraine, like you said the endurance with training was non existent with on my medication, but movement helps my mental health so it was a struggle before.
Alcohol is a trigger, so I'm happy not drinking, eating regular and balance meals, lots of essential fats, regular bed time and moments of quiet time in the week, embrace the highs and lows of life ❤️
I'm working my way off Venafaxaline. Went from 150mg to 37.5mg. Now starting to taper of the 37.5 mg.
Way you go Amanda! I Enjoyed listening your video.
Hi Amanda, always enjoy your chatty sit-down vids. 😍
For my mental health, movement is key! I have to - and want to! - do a lot of endurance sports throughout the week…plus, I need my time in nature and a regular yoga practice. All of this, as well as regular meals (I tend to skip meals when I do not feel well) and a lot of sleep 😂 keeps me sane…
What a great video! I loved your realization at the end. Maybe this IS the new you. You don’t need to try to find that other Amanda. She served that purpose in the past and now here you are, the new Amanda that is listening to her mind and body and living life to the fullest! Enjoy!
Thank you for making me feel normal, at this point, nearly in the same journey as you and the same kind of triggers some.. really appreciate this
I love this sweet and helpful video. Thank you, Amanda. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🙏
Glad it was helpful!
I love your videos! You make me inspired and motivated! Thank you ❤
Thanks for sharing, I think I more feel a constant anxiety rather than panic attack like there is this kink in my stomach that gets more severe at times.
It’s true, you do put on weight when you’re on antidepressants meds
We need to know the secrets of your beautiful skin!! :)
Loved this Amanda. At 43 years old, I am starting to feel anxiety...well I think it's anxiety. Started with my fear of flying to nightly senses of doom. My thoughts go to catastrophe in every situation. Its bloody annoying and frustrating. Im going to try hypnotherapy for the flying and hope it helps with all my mini panic thoughts!
I can’t love this enough- love your honesty, so relatable!! X
I have the pre house cleaner anxiety too, you're not alone! I just feel like "nobody outside of this family should know how gross we can be" 😆. Which isn't that we are gross at all, just sometimes the mess gets a little out of hand.
That's exactly it!
I am leaving a job that lead to burnout. On my way out I am realising that a lot of the most difficult moments were not the employer's doing. I am bad at asking for help, I get triggered by raised voices and high pressure situations and I have promised myself to take some time to heal before I look for another job. Thankfully, my partner was super supportive and said "Screw the money, you need help - just leave, work on yourself and you'll figure it out.
I went to watch this video and only made it in 30 seconds because you had me at drunk pumpkin candle, I need it 😅 can't wait! Your candles are THE BEST! 🙌
😂🎃 so glad you like them!
Stay positive in whatever situation ur in sound simple but that's the best key for combat 😄
Your mindset definitely helps!
I hear you about seasonal depression! I lived in Oregon for awhile and the winters where just so rainy and the lack of sunshine was hard.
Now I live in Montana and even though it’s a hella cold sometimes it’s sunny more and I can put on my snow gear and get out! ☺️
Same I get tired In the evening 2 1/2 months off Zoloft now
My appetite was the same and it actually made me control my eating and not stress eat - and I still gained tons of weight on it. It has to do something with the metabolic system - maybe increase prolactin thus causing GH and testosterone drops in men? Not sure
Get the blue ice block from dollar tree put on chest area.
❤️
Wow your so strong. I am tapering now. 😔
My appetite was crazy on Zoloft
"The logic there ..." Girl! 😂
The appetite increased and i was wondering why. I ate so much on antidepressants. I was always hungry no matter what i eat.
Same… I was ravenous all day.
Eating so often also stretched out my stomach, so it took more food each meal for me to feel full. Ugh.
The story of all users. When honeymoon goes away they all go back to normal...some high the dose, others search other antidepresant...tcare
I'm currently going off of Lexapro, so these videos are helpful. I was on 20 mg. Went down to 10mg. Now, on 5mg.
You've got this!
How is it going with the tapering?
What do you go to after 5mg?
@@allier.9193 I’m onto 2.5
But after I’ll stop
I was going to take it every other day but I read that might not be good
Any symptoms?? I’m on lexapro and on 20mg I want to come off them but I’m scared
Do you think the ssri was the placebo effect?
No, I felt the difference.
@@AmandaMuse well that’s placebo right?
@@shawnleong3605 no. I had serious brain zaps both at the start and end, and also a significant reduction in my anxiety and panic. Definitely not a placebo. Also, what's with invalidating a person? Not a good look.
Anxiety is a bitch 😅 ur right
you give off cool aunt vibes
I dig it.
Is it wrong that I associate hair color changes in women with divorce/breakup or some other emotional crisis? Just my own life experiences lead me to those thoughts.
In some, sure. With me it’s an every 6-8 week makeover situation 💇♀️
@@AmandaMuse good, I’m glad it’s nothing serious. I watched your vid about quitting antidepressants then I watched this one and seeing a diff hair color reminded me of some things (not your fault, just my own silly issues). I went through some crazy tragedies 2 years ago and I cut my hair off after growing it for 5 years. Some said it would be good for me per some Native American traditions, rebirth and removal of old baggage etc. I gave the hair to Wigs for Kids which did feel very good. But now I want it back haha, so I’ve been growing it again for a year now but it grows so slow, might be another year and a half before I can tie it back again. Cheers to self care and better health for us all 🌸
The only problem is mental health problems tend to come back off meds especially if you have suffered from it long term.
In full strengh!
@@Tata-ki1is you think I don't know that. I have been on and off them all my adult life. I suffered a loss of a close family member when I was in my teens and have never really recovered despite talking therapies and meds. Fundamentally one can never recover from a early childhood trauma and I have accepted that fact and continue with my life long meds to keep me functioning. Thing is my problem is there with or without meds and it's worse without meds in my experience. Everyone is different. People are very fortunate to live a life with no issues or trauma. Meds do work for the right people.ive tried the so called tools but ultimately meds work the best for me . you can't preach a one size fits all approach to anxiety and depression it's a very individual experience obviously. Maybe your approach might work for some but it never has for me.a solution is one that works and meds work for me nothing wrong with that. I think solutions depend very much on the fundamental reason for the anxiety and depression you have. If you are able to shake off meds maybe your problem isn't as devastating as some people's problems. You have to accept sometimes that the problems will never be fixed but you can find a way to live with your problem.
Im feeling that lack of motivation now while on escitalopram. I find myself tired often which makes working out so hard and i don’t like it.
It’s really frustrating, I know exactly what you mean.
I'm also planning to take escitalopram with Alprozolam prescribed by my doctor,but I'm having anxiety in taking it coz of the side effects I watched..please help me clear my mind
@@AC-ej2yvyou have anxiety over taking anxiety meds so you need anxiety meds for the anxiety meds? damn.. these doctors be prescribing drugs like they're candy.
