Depression, Anxiety and Pure O

[noordwijk]

i have had a relapse of the above after being well for 5 years, i was managing the Pure o but it has slipped into a deep depression, i am not looking after myself atall, have been on venlafaxine for 10 weeks now 375mg and feel no different, i am supposed to be going on holiday to visit my husbands family abroad and am really terrified

I was on venlaxafine for over 3 months, I read a lot about amino acids, so one morning I took 1 x 500mg L Tryptophan and left the venlaxafine, it’s been a month now, I am also now taking DLPA. My weight is slowly going down too. Venlaxafine was poison to me.

Hi I think you need to go a speak to your gp it’s sounds to me that the venlaflaxine are not helping you much , explain that you are supposed to be going away to visit your family and they might offer you something else ,I’ve been on venlafaxine for 8 years but I still have my down times and anxiety I can not travel unless I take diazepam with me I hardly ever use them but if I need them i take them to get me through my holidays, doctors do not like prescribing them but they might just to get you through this bad patch , hope your feeling better soon 🙂
