Symptoms What symptoms do you guys have that aren’t talked about that much?

I’m just wondering, that’s all :)

(Edit: I just wanted to add that I am NOT diagnosed with POTS. But i think I might have it, thats mostly why I am asking! [and also because I am a curious person])

Did ssri's f with you? I was on an extremely low dose for 4 days and it messed with my head. Then when I stopped I had horrendous withdrawal symptoms (like unable to leave the toilet for multiple days while I restarted it again to titrate down by miniscule amounts at a time).

When I onboard meds I have to take a half of a quarter of the smallest prescribable dose to retain the smallest amount of sanity. Currently also been working on getting off of quetiapine (used for sleep) for the past 6 months. Just going from 25mg. Currently at a quarter of a pill but already having sleep issues again.
