divalee Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Hello I am sorry to have to post as a new topic but no one sees what I have written on my original introduction. But I am getting individual messages from surviving Antidepressants in my private email address. This has never happened before and now since yesterday I have received 4 or 5 individual posts there coming directly from here because they are posted here too. Is this something new? I tried to answer them but they will not go through - saying error....Can someone please tell me if they are getting these too - or is this something new now. Thank you Lee Zoloft started for 8 years - 150 mg capsules Started tapering December 3, 2011, Off Zoloft May 17, 2013 While tapering WDS were tolerable Off Zoloft debilitating WDS the worst starting around 6 months off even worse after 18 months off Now 35 months off - still in a terrible wave for months now.

Moderator Emeritus mammaP Posted May 18, 2016 Author Moderator Emeritus Share Posted May 18, 2016 Is it messages from members or notifications? Not sure what is happening there but if you go to your settings you can turn off email notifications. Hope that sorts it out for you. I'll move this to technical support so others can see it if it becomes a problem for them. **I am not a medical professional, if in doubt please consult a doctor with withdrawal knowledge.

btdt Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I generally get a lock box saying this site is secure today I have an i in a circle saying it is not secure the source seems to be google analytics and paypal... best I can discern... what does it mean? WARNING THIS WILL BE LONG Had a car accident in 85 Codeine was the pain med when I was release from hosp continuous use till 89 Given PROZAC by a specialist to help with nerve pain in my leg 89-90 not sure which year Was not told a thing about it being a psych med thought it was a pain killer no info about psych side effects I went nuts had hallucinations. As I had a head injury and was diagnosed with a concussion in 85 I was sent to a head injury clinic in 1990 five years after the accident. I don't think they knew I had been on prozac I did not think it a big deal and never did finish the bottle of pills. I had tests of course lots of them. Was put into a pain clinic and given amitriptyline which stopped the withdrawal but had many side effects. But I could sleep something I had not done in a very long time the pain lessened. My mother got cancer in 94 they switched my meds to Zoloft to help deal with this pressure as I was her main care giver she died in 96. I stopped zoloft in 96 had withdrawal was put on paxil went nutty quit it ct put on resperidol quit it ct had withdrawal was put on Effexor... 2years later celexa was added 20mg then increased to 40mg huge personality change went wild. Did too fast taper off Celexa 05 as I felt unwell for a long time prior... quit Effexor 150mg ct 07 found ****** 8 months into withdrawal learned some things was banned from there in 08 have kept learning since. there is really not enough room here to put my history but I have a lot of opinions about a lot of things especially any of the drugs mentioned above. One thing I would like to add here is this tidbit ALL OPIATES INCREASE SEROTONIN it is not a huge jump to being in chronic pain to being put on an ssri/snri and opiates will affect your antidepressants and your thinking. As I do not update much I will put my quit date Nov. 17 2007 I quit Effexor cold turkey. http://survivingantidepressants.org/index.php?/topic/1096-introducing-myself-btdt/ There is a crack in everything ..That's how the light gets in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator manymoretodays Posted March 16, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 16, 2017 Just a note for mods or administration: So.....the posting difficulty occurred during editing. I was able to sign off and then on again and it seemed to clear and I could edit as I wished. Also when signing on I am getting a new warning as far as site security goes. Not sure what all this means or nothing. It worked out well for me though as I am finding myself WANTING to spend more time writing on paper and less with internet.......or perhaps get more disciplined somehow in my own life and with online usage. Alas though.......a slight worry as far as the site being hacked or something or maybe just my own online interactions.

Moderator manymoretodays Posted March 20, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 20, 2017 I was editing and then just couldn't. No strange scripts showed up or anything........it appeared I had lost my post(the one I was editing). Then when I signed out and then back in......voila......my post was back and intact. The very tiny techno portion of my brain thought maybe it was just a busy site at the time(I can't confirm this though). It happened once before when a mod was moving one of my posts at the same time I was posting it.......the difficulties while editing the same post that was being moved. That time the mod msg ed me. So perhaps a mod was reviewing it??......something like that? Tiny techno portion of my brain seems to be growing a bit too. Sooooo......I don't know......maybe not a problem at all? Thanks Alto and all of you mods. For all you do!!! Without a doubt I could not have gotten where I am, this far, without you!!

januaryeve Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I posted a message in a forum, no problem. Then I read some more, wrote another reply, tried to post, and it said something about my security code being wrong. It worked for the first post! Why was I signed out when I did not sign myself out between my two posts? Then I lost my post! which took quite a bit of work to compose. Why is this happening? Is it necessary to make posts disappear like this? Very disheartening. 1990-2016 Prozac, 30 mg. Tapered over 4 years, now down to 20 mg per WEEK. Nov. 2016, tapering Prozac until completely off (soon, I hope). March 2015 through Oct. 2016 Xanax 0.25 mg 3x daily. Nov. 2016 Xanax: Completely off. 1-2 days after going off Xanax, severe muscle pain. Continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Emeritus scallywag Posted April 8, 2017 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) Some members have commented that this site does not use the secure protocol, "https." As of the time of this post, Alto is investigating whether this is possible to do at a price we are willing to pay.HOW DO I KNOW THAT A SITE IS USING HTTPS? When a site is using HTTPS, you will see an icon that looks like a padlock in the address bar of your browser. WHAT DOES HTTPS DO? When a site uses https, the communication between your computer and the site's web server are encrypted. This makes it very difficult for others using the same network as you, say at a library or coffee shop or even at home, to see what you are communicating. A hacker or snoop could detect that you are exchanging data or communicating, but not the details. HOW DO I GET SECURE PROTECTION, HTTPS, BEFORE YOU SET IT UP OR IF YOU CAN'T? You can force a secure connection, HTTPS, by using a browser extension. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a non-profit advocate and protector of online civil liberties, has developed an extension to force HTTPS for these browsers: Mozilla Firefox Google Chrome Opera If you are using one of these browsers, clicking on the link below to be directed to the extension for your browser:EFF's HTTPS Everywhere extension for your browser ---Phones & Tablets--- If you are using an Android phone, you can download Firefox for Android with the extension pre-installed at this link on the EFF site. If you are using an iOS (Apple) phone or tablet, download Firefox or Android from the app store and then search for the "HTTPS Everywhere" extension through the browser itself. If you require support to do this, please use your favourite search engine. Many helpful people have posted instructions on their blogs; your search will likely yield youtube videos. Please do NOT ask for individual technical support with this issue without trying the suggestions above. There are too many combinations of operating system, browser, and internet connection. Assisting with those kinds of issues is beyond my knowledge and competence. update 13 June 2017: The forum software upgrade will allow us to set up HTTPS connections. It has not yet be implemented. Thank you in advance for your patience. Edited June 13, 2017 by scallywag add update This is not medical advice.

Administrator Altostrata Posted January 13, 2018 Administrator Share Posted January 13, 2018 Good point, nz. It is indeed unaccountable why the post numbering feature has been removed. I have asked for information from software support. Let me say that this software company is interested in making its forums more "Facebook-like"; that is, fast-food posts that no one would look back on. I have objected to this philosophy, I believe forums are a different medium than Facebook, posts have more permanence, discussions go on longer, and it's more of a long-form medium.

Moderator Emeritus ChessieCat Posted January 24, 2018 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted January 24, 2018 Well this is really weird. I've just gone to my signature on my desktop computer and it is still "shivering". It worked okay earlier this month on this computer because I updated my signature. It is the only place that does it anywhere on the web. Not going to lose any sleep over it though. It's no big deal, but it is reported just in case any other members happened to get the same issue. Please DO NOT TAG me - thank you PLEASE NOTE: I am not a medical professional. I provide information and make suggestions.

Administrator Altostrata Posted January 27, 2018 Administrator Share Posted January 27, 2018 No, the software provider removed the numbering in a redesign. I don't know the reason for it. It wasn't a good idea. You can't add to some threads here so we can keep informational items compact and easy to browse for newcomers. Aren't you able to post in this thread?

Administrator Altostrata Posted January 27, 2018 Administrator Share Posted January 27, 2018 I've never seen "inspect the element." I get a banner asking if I want to paste as rich text or no.

Administrator Altostrata Posted January 29, 2018 Administrator Share Posted January 29, 2018 Was that always true? Is it the case from browser to browser? I suggest you clear your browser cache of survivingantidepressant.org cookies, it's probably a browser thing. This is not medical advice.
