I feel okay. I’ve been taking Effexor extended release 75mg I’ve been feeling better than I’ve ever felt. I’ve talk to my therapist and I say I wish I got help sooner. She told me I’m doing it now so that’s what matters. So what I’ve learned is ... if your trying to do it on your own your dreams aren’t big enough. Everybody needs somebody. I’m the type of person who doesn’t want any help who wants to figure it out for myself. So being able to receive help . Has been the best thing for me . I’m thankful and blessed.

I’m on Effexor extended release too! Was on 75mg but doctor increased it to 150mg. Did you get a lot of brain fog on this medication? Or any other symptoms

No, I didn’t get brain fog with Effexor. I was prescribed night medicine ( Trazodone 50mg ) that gave me brain fog. So I stopped taking it and I haven’t had it since. But I get no sleep at night. I get about 5 hours of sleep. My brain is always running. I need to meditate that would probably help. Well that’s one of my New Years resolutions mediate more and work out.

I take Effexor 75mg and Trazodone 50mg at night to sleep. If I do not take the Trazodone... I pretty much won’t sleep at all, just toss and turn. 😖

Yea, same way. Like I’m up now and I need to be sleeping. My therapist and I are working on something to help me. I have been taking unison but I requested to figure out if there is anything else out there naturally. She recommended magnesium glistening, Melatonin. I got the magnesium but I think I need the exact thing. So I’m still researching where to get it. I haven’t gotten the melatonin yet but I’m going tomorrow for sure, Christmas is coming up and i am traveling home to SC. Then coming back and have to go to work the next day. Road trips usually put me down for two days. My mental health has been better but I just have to keep working at it.
