You've opened your third eye - you have to cut out fluoride for that so I can only assume you have teeth like a smashed fence, but at least you'll be able to ride the cosmos.

It was a benign tumour IIRC. Not sure where it was but could well have been the temporal lobe. Wasn’t trying to put the shits up with you with the brain surgery crack That was very much last resort. Fingers crossed it’s just some kind of X-Men style mutation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 24263 Posted yesterday at 07:03 Share Posted yesterday at 07:03 On 01/06/2025 at 13:29, Howmanheyman said: Had extreme versions of déjà vu since around 2022 I think, now and then, maybe once every few weeks sometimes longer sometimes shorter, lasts around 30 seconds to a minute, very hard to explain tbh but nothing like normal déjà vu which everybody has. After the first few times when I thought I was going mental I actually recognised there might be something wrong and when I knew it was happening would almost study it myself. I eventually told the missus but left it at that. I saw a GP around January in case it was a prelude to dementia or something so he referred me to neurology which I went to on Friday. From the conversation he said it could be a temporal lobe epilepsy so has booked me in for the MRI and an ECG. I'm perfectly fine when it happens, am aware of it and even tell the wife and kids when it's happening. They say I just stare at them or the TV amazed and almost laughing as I'm at that moment listening to what's being said and 'know' what's going to be said. It's very weird. I mean, I always knew I was a sandwich short of a picnic but wasn't expecting this! HMHM sorry I've missed this. It's probably with the board issues. You're describing what I've had since I was about 6. I have frontal lobel epilepsy. It sounds like you're having partial seizures. I.e petit mal sezuires. I used to have them loads when I was a kid but had the odd grand mal. Last few years I've had grand mal but they're confident with my new meds they're in control of it. I'm sure they'll get to the bottom of it and sort you out and hope your MRI goes OK. If you need owt just drop me a DM. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 5738 Posted yesterday at 09:11 Share Posted yesterday at 09:11 Among other things I was prescribed Sertraline this week as the first SSRI/Antidepressant I've ever been on. HOLY FUCKING SHIT I was not prepared for the side effects, from wednesday to saturday I didn't eat a bit of solid food because I was the worlds most nauseous man. Fuck that.

ewerk 34857 Posted yesterday at 09:41 Share Posted yesterday at 09:41 What dosage did they give you? I didn’t think many people got side effects from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 5738 Posted yesterday at 09:49 Share Posted yesterday at 09:49 50mg which is apparently pretty standard. I imagine I'm in a small category of people who get such an adverse reaction to it, hence it being the first thing I was tried on. Going on holiday this week then I'll be back to hopefully try something I react to less. Currently the anxiety is preferable 😅 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My missus seems to get rare side effects to medical stuff from time to time although I just put that down to her female stubbornness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 5738 Posted yesterday at 10:04 Share Posted yesterday at 10:04 Cheers, the actual mental side is fairly light, but it feeds into some quite persistent stomach issues i've had this year that Id really like to properly deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 6649 Posted yesterday at 10:51 Share Posted yesterday at 10:51 I was on it for a while for anxiety but the side effects were intolerable. I'm not sure if I thought it helped or not, maybe it did. It's really hard to say with some of these sorts of things. I just use Beta Blockers now for days when I'm particularly bad and beyond that call it quits. Hope you're well anyway Andrew, but sounds like the right decision to get off them given the side effects. I'm told different drugs can have wildly varying responses from different people, another type may be better for you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was put on them about 10 years ago, I was prescribed Omeprazole as well to deal with the nausea it brings about. Took me about 2-3 weeks to get used to it and everything settled.

Omeprazole is an interesting one to deal with nausea, Im fairly familiar as I've been on that and then a more effective (for me) PPI for the last 7 months due to the stomach ulcer that started this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't really work for me, I just cold turkey'd the nausea until my system got used to the ADs. Strangely enough I take Lansoprazole daily these days to help with a hiatus hernia - those do seem to help a hell of a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 5738 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Lanso is what I have too, found it a lot more effective than omeprazole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
