My dog saved me from myself. He is the reason why i get up in the morning, and believe me, i dont want to get up. We even started training things everyday, going on social walks. My deog is a rescue and has an anxiety disorder himself, so he isnt the easiest dog to have. But he is like my child. His character is so loving, he even does trust falls, its so cute. Walks still stress me out, bcs he reacts to other people and dogs, but with the help of our trainer we both make victories and i would never change it. One thing that also changed is that i didnt have time to go party anymore since i need to get back home and stuff. Just dont get a working dog breed. I got a staffi lab mix and even that makes him a bundle full of energy.

I also would like to know. I stopped a few weeks back and my sleep is getting worse again.

Yeah but they still joke around asking me if I want a beer, I dont know how to think about it so I just laugh it off. Oooh I know the self destructive part, reason number one why I even started abusing it. Ah I wish I could smoke weed but I get bad side effects from it.

Any advice? I really dont like who I am while I am drunk, nor how I feel the next few days. I will try to not even say yes to "just one beer" bcs I know when I start I will not stop. Also I completely stopped buying alcohol for myself a few weeks ago.

Bin gespannt wie lange es dauert. Momentan versuche ich einfach Dinge zu tun die gesund sind, spazieren gehen, schlafhyiegene, gutes essen und gesellschaft.

Ist für mich zu meinem alltag geworden und bin irgendwie daran gewöhnt. Ich versuche mein umfeld einfach mittlerweile anzupassen und arbeite daran einen schwerbehindertenausweis zu bekommen.

Yeah I know, it became way better than it was in the beginning, I am just really down and tired of it. I do make steps forward but it doesn't feel good.

Yeah my symptoms are way less than a few years ago. But yeah I wish it just never happened obviously, like I am getting a disability card for it which will help, but after all those years this just feels weird.

Yeah I had mild knee pain too but I didnt notice it much. My back pain was hell, it was so bad I couldnt stand up sometimes, or turn around in my bed. Sometimes I couldn't lift my legs either, it always felt like having 10 knifes stuck in my lower back and every little move would cut me from my inside. I initially thought it was a disk injury maybe, but my chiropractor told me already a year ago that it was prolly mirt. And a few days after stopping the pain also went away. Like I had issues with my back before but mirt made it 10x worse, but i just couldnt believe that that was the cause lol.

At least my back pain is gone, that's all i wanted xD.

I love you too❤️

It makes me feel good to hear this, especially in a group like this. We didn't get to know unconditional love. But I guess we are all trying to get better somehow and that's why we are here.

I am thankful for you OP. I am thankful for everyone that contributes to this subreddit.

Oooooh I got the sneezing too! Thought I was getting covid lol. Like I feel nauseous too and only eat small portions, i often dont even have hunger hah, and before i was inhaling food!

Yes ut helps, it gave me more time to do stuff for myself outside of the digital world.

Yeah the hunger is a bitch. But yeah I would wait if I were you. For me it was the only thing that made sense, breaking up, bcs i am just having a hard time with relationships and trusting people way before mirt. But since she didnt seem that way, i would stick to her. Could be that she is experiencing some sort of mania as others already sugested.

But I think this is the main question: If you remember how you felt while on those pills do you think that there is anything anyone could have said or done that would have made you stop taking them?

Well I may could be influenced to not take them but that would have been highly irresponsible since i was suicidal. I cant really apply this experience to her. Just wait a few weeks and see if it calms down.

I hope it works all out tho. Dont give up too quick unless it strains too much on your own mental health. I dont know if you have the possibility to get counseling for yourself, but its important that you are not alone in this situation, maybe meet up with a close friend.

Fuck, yeah heat flashes are a bitch. I feel like no hunger and have weird digestion. But for all the other stuff i couldnt tell since i had tge symptoms before, during and after taking mirt kek.

So I rook it 2,5 years, but was on a break of a few months, that was when I came together with my ex. We both noticed that I changed and for me personally had issues with the relationship early on bcs I have C-PTSD. We talked about it and didnt want to break up bcs it felt like giving up so I just went with it, but my nerves were really strained. Btw it was not a bad relationship and he was a really good and loving boyfriend. I stopped bcs of side effects, gain weight, intense hunger, brain fog, not feeling joy, feeling numb, worst thing was back pain, like I hurt so much I couldn't stand up and thought I had a disk injury. It changed my life. I was severely sleep dipraved for weeks and had so many breakdowns, I felt like I was going insane. Plus I was severely suicidal and tried to get my plan going at this point, so yeah, mirt made me stay alive. Ah I dont know how you should act, I can only talk about my experience and my relationship. Does she have a therapist? If yes I would try to convince her to do a session with you where you both try to discuss your thoughts and worries. My ex wanted to stay and just wait, but that would have just pressured me more, since I wasnt sure when I would stop and turn to normal again. But I would talk to the therapist, maybe even with her family since you know each other for very long. I am so sorry that you are going through this, I hope you can resolve this!

For me its not my first time getting off of it, i was "clean" for a few months and did cold turkey. I had no wd symptoms then. But now its diffrent, like i feel so cold now(on it i had heat flashes a lot), I am not hungry and need to fart a lot haha. But depression wise i am okay rn, a bit nervous from time to time, but not bad. What are you experiencing?

Hahaha thought you spoke of experience xD But yeah i will talk to the doc, rn im having a few withdrawal symptoms, buti will keep an eye on it

I was off it for a few months before, it didnt change anything. Now i am off for a bit over a week and my period is late. I dont know what to think haha

I dont want to scare you but i made a similar experience. I was together with my boyfriend for 6 months whichbis nothig compared to years. I had to break up with him after starting mirt bcs i was so fixated on myself, felt like i had to change my life and needed space. Nothing bad has happened in the relationship, but i felt like i was playing a role of a gf that i wasnt. And that stressed me out so much. And even after breaking up, i felt nothing. He was very loving and intelligent, i couldnt even give him a good reason why i wanted to break up, just that my mind was not with him anymore. After that i am still not interested in dating anymore. Im off mirt a week now, but i just have no desire to meet someone or plan a future with them, which was one of my big dreams before (marrying, children etc)
