why are you asking this question ?
I was on Fluoxetine for a few good years, then when I got married I found it had sexual side effects. I was not sexually active before that.
I was off and on amitrypline for a little bit. It didn't seem to do a whole lot. That was maybe a year.
I have been on venlafaxine for a year, but I had also done testosterone replacement therapy at the same time. The TRT made me hot all of the time and I was getting too big for my clothes so I stopped that. Now I think I feel the venlafaxine more so I am thinking about going down on my dosage. I have accepted that I will most likely stay on something until my kids are older to make sure I can be pretty stable until they are more independent.
Over 30 years, and will be until I die I've accepted that it's a necessity and helps me live a full life
Have u been on the same meds or have u changed them over the years? I’m struggling at the moment I have been on Mirtazapine for about 5 years & recently increased to max dose (45mg) but still not feeling grt 😕
Different. Zoloft, then it quit working. Effexor, Wellbutrin, Pristiq. Back on Wellbutrin and feeling pretty good.
Can I ask how u transferred from 1 medication to another……did u have bad side effects changing over, & how did overcome them.
most transitions were easy-started taking new while still on old-tapered off old. Do NOT quit cold turkey-it doesn't work. Always follow Dr's directions.
I just hate the thought of the transition from old med to a new one, but will have to do something as I can’t go on feeling this bad any longer. I would never consider cold turkey as I would b too afraid of consequences.
Wow..that's a long time. Happy to learn that its working for you.
