yes, but ...


Out of the fucking blue, I threw mine up this morning.

Not sure why.

I had had coffee (I always have coffee)  and a banana (I often eat some kind of fruit for breakfast), but I just became suddenly puky and I let it all go.

Have you eaten anything different lately? Are you still feeling sick now?  :nerd!:

Nope.

I want to stop taking them.

Are they not helping?  :nerd!:

Yeah, but they're not hindering either. Seriously no withdrawals after not taking them (unlike other meds I used to take like Zoloft and Pristiq)
They're like candy pills.

Just my two cents: Consult your doctor before stopping them, in case there are bad side effects from abruptly quitting.
It may be better to be weaned off under medical supervision.  :nerd!:

Agreed. going off meds can fuck you up.

And no, I haven't taken my meds today. Will do it in the morning.

Nope, nothing was different that I can imagine.

It all happened about five thirty this morning (about thirteen and one half hours ago, my time) and it was the same regimen of orals I take every morning. The pukey feeling passed as soon as I threw up. I do not know why it happened.

Excellent!  :thumbup:



I almost forgot mine, but I remembered early enough, so all is well!  :asthing:

Yes. Well, um, no. Technically I took them yesterday and I will sleep before today's pills, but you get the general idea.

yes id did, but about twenty minutes later and for the third time, I vomited them up.


This is beginning to worry me.


MY MEDS are about saving what shavings are left of my heart muscle from the damage I have done to the rest of my body over my long life.


My own body rejecting these meds makes me concerned that I can no longer protect my heart muscles from further damage.

It is becoming more apparent by the day that the shortest days of my entire life are upon me and the sun setting upon everything I have left to do is winking out for all time.
 :violin:


As I count myself out, do not fear, for I have a life awaiting me as a proud Alpha wolf in a land that has everything that I need.

Vomiting is horrible, but one of the results is that we eventually die.

There might be a very simple reason for the vomiting, and a very simple solution to it also. Have you spoken to your doctor about this?

I started back on my meds today/yesterday after a 5 day break to lower my tolerance a bit.  I slept for 16 hours a day while I was off them and I was quite tired the rest of the time, so I didn't get much done and the time passed quickly.
