If anxiety is preventing you from taking on the responsibilities of daily life, then you need to speak with your doctor.

Got my first jab three hours ago and I'm starting to feel pretty lousy. This might shape up to be a long day.

There are several non-abusive/non-addictive SSRIs / SNRIs that can provide significant relief of anxiety without side effects sought after by addictive personalities.

Re: A Nasty Stiffarm
My asthma was a little more pronounced this past Saturday, a day after my first jab. I don't know whether it's a slight side-effect or simply because I was outside all afternoon during a season change.

Re: A Nasty Stiffarm
Yes, this. I resisted for way too long and not necessarily because I was worried about habit-forming effects, but a "typical" SSRI should have anti-anxiety effects without being habit forming. It's a completely separate class of drug from stuff like Klonopin that can be habit-forming.EnochRoot wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 9:40 amThere are several non-abusive/non-addictive SSRIs / SNRIs that can provide significant relief of anxiety without side effects sought after by addictive personalities.

I'm currently in the midst of attempting to wean myself slowly off of it. Cut the dosage by a 3rd with only minimal issues - none of which made me crave more Zoloft.

Re: A Nasty Stiffarm
FWIW, TT the shot is literally almost painless. It's quick and I guess needles are so sharp and thin these days that you hardly feel it at all. If you look away, it's possible you'll completely miss it.
Totally Kafkaesque

My first shot hurt! And I was, like, "bro!" He apologized and then blamed me for being too tense.
I didn't feel my second shot AT ALL. She lightly squeezed my arm meat and then was walking away and I looked down and there was a bandaid already there.

Re: A Nasty Stiffarm
I barely felt the injection yesterday, but my arm is still sore 24 hours later.
Started feeling better last night and feel OK so far today. Hopefully I don't have any more reactions to this.

Sabo - You mean you're getting back to normal normal, or just feeling better from the dose symptoms?

I think it will take a while before I see any improvement with the former.

Re: A Nasty Stiffarm
I apparently managed to avoid any bad side effects from my second Pfizer shot. However, when I went biking on Sunday, my hamstrings ended up hurting like hell, and still hurt this morning.
It was a harder ride than I've done this year (1500 feet climb, yay!), but not by all that much. And I've never really gotten sore from biking before, except maybe after an extreme ride like a century or something. So I'm going to chalk it up to the vaccine and not to my general patheticness.

As a follow up to the other thread, Walgreens caught flak for not doing the Pfizer shots 3 weeks apart and have now changed their scheduling. Doesn't help me, but I get jabbed again tomorrow.

Re: A Nasty Stiffarm
Just got the first shot. (In a hockey arena - so Canadian!)
Felt like hugging the staff from the hospital.
Follow up shot is in 15 weeks. But who knows, the schedules are pretty fluid right now.
But I am so, so relieved.

Re: A Nasty Stiffarm
So the exchange rate these days is four weeks = 15 weeks? Seniors in Mexico are getting their second shots this week, seven weeks after their first shots instead of four, so I say it's a little embarrassing that Mexico appears to have its shit together better than Canada.

Re: A Nasty Stiffarm
15 weeks is fucking crazy! Which vaccine did you get? Mine was scheduled 5 weeks out, and my wife was concerned. From what I've read, 4-6 is ideal for Moderna, but I haven't seen much on more than 6 weeks. Actually, CDC is saying 42 days is the longest delay they approve. In whatever groups they are tracking, only .5% were delayed longer than 42 days, so they refuse to draw a conclusion. Doesn't mean it decreases efficacy. I read that in the UK, they are using longer time between vaccines to get more people partially vaccinated quicker. Curious if that is a better approach than going for fewer people being fully vaccinated. Maybe we'll know if a year or so.
ETA: Looks like 4 months is the standard Canadian government recommendation. They are going with the UK model of first does in more arms.

Re: A Nasty Stiffarm
My wife and I just got back from M&T Bank Stadium (Ravens Stadium, for the uninitiated) where we both received dose #1 of the Pfizer vaccination. The shot was completely painless. Wife felt a bit of a prick in her arm (heh), but otherwise all's good.
I feel a little lightheaded, but whatever. I know the next 24 hours can either be nothing, mild, or hit me like a brick.

Funny. A guy in my fantasy football league calls his team Wonder Twin Powers (he's the father of twins). Sometimes he'll send out an email to the league with a cartoon image or gif like that one.

Re: A Nasty Stiffarm
My wife did all the research I need - fully aware that there's 2 weeks to go. But considering how slow Canada has been to get things rolling, I am relieved that I am on the way.
And fortunately, I live in Canada. We aren't perfect, but our baseball team is playing in a Florida backwater in order to avoid Texas Rangers' style scenes.
