Sorry to hear about Covid, glad you are feeling better. Congrats on your last semester.
Unfortunately I think there aren’t many doctors that can help with the startle reflex.
The only thing that helped me was a muscle relaxer like baclofen or maybe a Xanax but that is not something I would recommend taking all of the time. But maybe the baclofen might help. But it will make you drowsy so just keep that in mind.

It sure seems that way, cp is one of the most common disabilities in the U.S and yet no one can seem to tell me much about the cognitive implications or the startle reflex. Was baclofen prescribed by your primary care doctor ?

@@queen_of_awkward1008 Yes. It’s very frustrating especially knowing that there are so many other issues once we reach adulthood

Zoloft is very good. I was on that for so many years. Should have never left it. I went natural for two years then last winter depression hit me like a truck. I've been on trintelix and buspirone plus I see a therapist. Blessings 🙏

How do you feel now that you are off medication?
