Hi everyone! I think it’s time for me to get back on anti-depressants but I’m scared of going through rounds and rounds of ineffective or adverse prescriptions. Which meds have worked for you?

It’s totally different with everyone. The testing of prescription sucks but it’s so worth it when you find what works for you. Good luck!

I don’t think you can avoid it. Everyone reacts differently to meds. Took my son 2 yrs to hit the right combo/dosage. He’s on lexapro & seroquel xr .

I was on lamictal and Wellbutrin for years, and the combo worked well for me. Now I’m coming off the lamictal, which has been pretty rough, and I added Prozac into the mix. Will probably have to up the Prozac once I’m off lamictal entirely, but coming off it is a super slow process (25mg decrease every two weeks—I started at 200 and am down to 75 at this point).

I take Seroquel. It was tough to get right. I was initially over medicated and felt sedated. I would actually fall asleep at work. I'm not at a healthy dose where I feel grounded and stable without lethargy

Hi y’all,
I shared an intermediate workout program (Back/Legs/Arms&Shoulders/Leg/Chest split) with a few friends the other day and figured I could also share it with others if interested.

It’s a program I follow outside of my 12-16 training block preps, and if anyone wants, I can share it with them. It’s for strength training.

Also happy to explain what any of the exercises are if someone wants the workouts and doesn’t know the benefit or how to do them.

Feel free to DM me about it

Cheers
