Forgive me for posting yet another time about my drug problems, haha.
What are y'all taking? I was on Cymbalta for a few years, but I think it was aggravating my overheating issues during the summer. I went back to Prozac, which I had no issues with before. But this time it has been a ROUGH few months. I thought the heightened panic and diarrhea were bad, but now I have white tongue so horrible that it takes up to an hour to suction off the sludge on my tongue in the morning. I gag very easily and violently, and scraping my tongue is next to impossible. I hypersalivate, and the dry mouth turns my spit into syrup unless I pump myself full of fluids and pee literally every 45 minutes. I've been taking buspirone for about a week now for the anxiety. Sometimes ativan doesn't even work.
I was hoping to power through until these side effects stopped, but at this point, I don't think they will. We are suctioning for hours daily. I can't keep living like this. It seems like such a waste to switch because of the sunk cost fallacy, but I might if it means the white tongue, choking on slime, and constant suctioning will end. It's seriously ruining my life. Any advice? might even lowering prozac to 20mg help?
