Hi Kia Ora, I just joined last night and have already found a lot of relief connecting with other people I don't have to explain things too. Welcome! You're among friends!💗

Hello

My name is Debbie and I am 53. I am looking for some advice on depression meds. I have tried many and nothing works the way I need it to.

[samack in reply to deblyn14]

what kind of advice are you looking for? Meds are so different from person to person.

[Arniestal in reply to deblyn14]

They all work differently on different people. Im taking venloflaxin its not done much for me but ive only been taking it for around 2 and a half weeks so sticking with it for a while. Hope you find something, its a matter of trying them and seeing how you get on.

[Kea3 in reply to Arniestal]

Yeah I found venlafaxine takes at least 4 weeks to start to work for me and 6 weeks to feel back to my"normal self"

[Arniestal in reply to Kea3]

Very pleased to hear that. Thanks.
