I FIGURED OUT A MEDICAL MYSTERY THROUGH FANFIC AND NOT A FUCKING DOCTOR???
Story time bros:
I developed tics (mainly blinking and head twitches) a few years ago at the old age of 16. This was during the height of the "faking tourettes" thing on tiktok so everyone (parents, friends, doctors) thought I was faking.
But here's the thing.
A common side effect of a medication called Wellbutrin is facial tics, WHICH IS WHAT THE FUCK I HAVE
AND THE TICS STARTED A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER I STARTED THAT MED
and I /only/ found this shit out because I was reading a fic about a character trying to improve his life WITH A GODDAMN MEDICATION THAT MADE HIM HAVE TICS.
I'm baffled honestly that this is what it took for me to figure out what the hell was wrong with me medically.
The more you know

I finally got my glasses with the migraine therapy tint. My migraines have been more and more frequent, and I'm not supposed to take excedrin with my lexapro or welbutrin, so I try to avoid it when I can. These glasses should at least lessen my eye strain a little. And yes, I chose heart frames because I find joy wherever I can 💜

So I finally got my EDS tests results back about 2 weeks ago, and thankfully I don't have it. However. The test isn't full proof so its more of 75% I don't have it 25% I do have it. So I scheduled an appointment to see my doctor and schedule surgery. I now realize I probably don't need an appointment to schedule surgery BUT it's kind of too late and I don't know how to go about it. I'm possibly going to call up the place today and see if I can just schedule the surgery, and still take the day off as I requested for said appointment. Which isn't until August 15th but gosh I need that to my self because fuck mentally I'm dead.
So I got diagnosed with anxiety when I was at the doctor's 2 weeks ago, anyone who knows me irl is not surprised by this. My therapist had been telling me for a year that I have undiagnosed anxiety. I was originally going to get tested for it said eh fuck it im doing just fine (also just kept procrastinating getting it til I said it's too much of a hassle). Was handed the GAD test and knew what was gonna happen. Took the test my doctor told me my score of 13 is kind of high (just googled it and that is a moderate anxiety result) and then said we will be switching up my meds. I have been on Lexapro for the past 2 years and Welbutrin was added on no more than a year later. Now I'm getting weaned off the Lexapro to get put on another medication (I can't remember what one). The withdrawal is real.
Originally I would just overheat or feel a little sick. Would get really bad anxiety, or bad mood swings in general. Then the past few days I've felt great and then all of a sudden *BOOM* no serotonin at all. Just feel tired and barely like a person. I feel like I'm dragging. Everything is annoying or overwhelming.

Originally posted on Mastodon 5 April 2023 I have Depression. It got so bad the last few years that I finally decided to get medicated. I got prozac & it worked kinda okay for about 6 months. Then it suddenly didn't & started giving me MASSIVE Brain Fog.
It got so bad I was not safe to drive & one day I could barely form a coherent sentence. I stopped & moved to wellbutrin.
Well tl;dr I got every single bad side effect. Me trying to ween off both meds lasted from xmas 2022 to 1 March 2023! IT WAS AWFUL. WEEKLY Psychiatrist mtgs
Long story short I got off everything and refused to try anything new again.
Related to that, 2 years ago I found a trip sitter I trusted and we scheduled (and re-scheduled) me doing shrooms 2-3 times.
Finally we got a date that worked. Laughably 2 weeks after I was off all the drugs So we did it.
And I had a bad trip. sadlaugh
It did not cure my depression or even give me some cool philosophical insight. 🙃
I just must be unlucky!

I started taking Welbutrin four days ago, and the side effects are hitting me hard. I literally did not sleep last night. Like, at all. Not even for one single moment did I drift off last night. I just laid in bed wishing I was asleep and checked to clock every so often to confirm that I was, in fact, still awake. And here it is 7:30am, I still haven't slept, and I really don't feel that tired, but I have a hunch that I'm going to crash later today. Also, I have a really loud ringing in my ears, so that's fun.

So I'm testing out welbutran...(I don't know how it's spelled) and it's supposed to be a really good ADHD/depression drug. It's supposed to make dopamine flow and cascade more easily in ADHD brains so that it's easier to start things and more enjoyable to do them. (Reading this out, I should definitely stay away from slot machines)
Anyways my current cocktail of medication isn't working as well as it used too. It still works....but 4 years I to a global pandemic I find it hard to do activities. Thr barrier to entry are just higher. And my brother is on welbutran ( still no idea how to spell it) and it seams to be working for him.
But my doctor said, "it may give you anxiety or it may work. "
And I said "let's try it"
And I'm three days in and I'm not anxious...
Instead I'm irritable.
But it has occurred to me the irritability is just anxiety turned outward....
Anxiety is "something is wrong and it must be my fault" but irritability is "somethings wrong and its not my fault"
So that's an improvement right?
But its also interesting to think about.
My brother has very little patience for me. And I do think of him as a more irritable person.... I've never been sure if it's a gender socialization thing or just a him thing. Bit this is the drug that works for him. And he is the one with the most practice managing irritability while still maintaining relationships. I never learned to to that.
Irritability feels like a very masculine response to the same issues that cause anxiety. But girls are taught to apologize for things both in and out of thier controll.
Boys arnt taught the same things.
I was punished at 12 for going off to explore the hills gor a few hours with a friend and not notifying an adult. But the next year my 9 year old brother was celebrated for his and his friends spontaneous 30 miles bike ride. I whent less then a mile from home to look for rocks for two hours. My brother called from a reservoir 11 miles away on a pay phone and got praise...
Maybe this drug works better for him because he isn't as worried about inadvertently hurting the people around him.
But I have always been taught that my actions and inaction have great and terrible consequences. And that my personal safety was something that I was in controll of.
So yeah I'm very irritable right now. But I've got to say, its way better than being anxious....so we will see how this drug works ourt
