Venlafaxine saves me from uncontrollable crying

[5_plus_4]

I recently moved and misplaced my Venlafaxine prescription which I was taking for PTSD/Deppression.

On day 3 without it, I was sobbing uncontrollably and had to leave work (luckily no one saw my crying).

Venlafaxine helps me with hot flashes, and little did I know, kept my emotions in check. I've refilled my prescription and am back to "normal".

Glad to hear all is back to’ the new normal’. None of us on this site has 100% of the old normal.

I cried like I was watching an episode of Lassie, for the first few months after dx, but I got over it with the help of my wife, friends, traveling and the realization that I may have many more years ahead of me. I leave Florida a week from today to motorcycle Montana, Wyoming and Idaho, and tent camp the whole time! Rock n Roll Hoochie Coo😀

That may help, I was in MT a couple of weeks ago and 80s during day and 40s at night. I would be hoping for hot flashes in a tent.

In MT 2 weeks ago? Of course you were, cutting trees down.......

Flashes.... by Jove, turning a negative into a positive..........

So far, being relatively new (about a week) I feel you are the Joker of this site,

I am on Lupron Depot and I do cry for nothing,

I have a limited moving so most of the time I read on my Kindle when I am not on my portable resting on my bed in TV/PC mode.

[j-o-h-n in reply to doc1947g]

I remember you're the doc.... who wasn't sure he should be here. Well you are welcome to be here with us (and Post).

I do love to laugh and try to make some of the members laugh too.... I too am on Lupron and Casodex.... but never had to cry.... except when my wife caught me texting with my girlfriend.

Sorry to hear you about your limited moving...You're a reader and the informative type. I bet you and I could argue alot.... but now is the time to laugh....

p.s. If I offend you let me know (and I'll hunt you down and kill you).... Peace to you and keep posting here.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

I was an anesthesia assistant for over 15 years and respiratory technologist in the ICU for almost 40 years,

So even if my diagnostic is new (March 2020) and I already had a Lymphoma of the Marginal Zone in the bone marrow so I knew a lot ahead so it was easy for me to discuses with my RO who is fantastic.

Even with my limitation, I still fight with everything that I can find.

Your are the JOCKER and I am the TEACHER.

When I can I like to inform the peoples, a little bit like TA.
