Weaning Woes
I am 60 with MDD and currently trying to wean off of
Effexor
XR
150 mg (have been on this for 20 years) and having a horrible time going off. I would have petit mal seizures in the past if off for 48 hours.

Therapy tomorrow, but I feel like talking today
I’ve been on
Effexor
XR
for almost 20 years and was in the process of tapering off, but due to these anxiety issues those plans are on hold. I’m not looking for a perfect life; I just want the anxiety to go away. I want to be able to eat normally again. I want my regular sleep pattern back.

What To Do Next?
I am currently on a combination of
Effexor
XR
(150mg), Lexapro (10mg) and Elavil (25mg) with Ativan on the side as needed. I try to avoid taking the Ativan as much as possible. I've been through four different therapists and three psychiatrists (part of this is because I've moved).

Vestibular Migraine/ PPPD Or Something Else
I'm at my wits end really. I'm a mid 50's female, my balance issue started very abruptly in April 2022. I have had very sporadic, classic migraine with aura since my teens but could go for years between attacks. I was diagnosed with hypothyroid in 2020 and around that time I noticed my migraines got

Nervous wreck
My wife and I left a country fearing that war might break out and now she is going back to live there. The thought of her there is wrecking my nerves. I suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes, depression and anxiety. For the last two of them I take 100mg pregabalin and 150mg Efexor. Still not enough

My ocd
Hi, new here. Have had OCD almost all my life. Since retirement seems to have intensified and I think it's making my accompanying depression worse. Take effexor but it doesn't do that much. Considering therapy.

Will Estradiol 0.025 patch for hot flushes cause cancer to come out of hiding?
Hi My husband has been taking Effexor for hot flushes and it does not seem to be effective any longer . He increased the dose from 37.5 to 75 mg and that did not seem to make a difference. He has been off Effexor now and the oncologist is saying to try the low dose Estradiol patch . To be honest we

new meds
So I did well transitioning from Effexor to Zoloft. Some bad dizziness and stuff but I managed. Now I’m kinda struggling with feeling sad… mainly I think it’s due to being on a low dose and getting Zoloft built up in my system. I’m just feeling sad and wishing my struggles with mental health were easier

Has anyone here had the experience of taking meds for ADHD while trying to keep blood pressure under control?
Hi, I'm new here and recently diagnosed with ADHD (inattentive type). I'm almost 40 and never took any stimulants. I also suffer from anxiety and depression and have high blood pressure (which I think is related to my anxiety). I've been taking Sertraline for depression and Hydrochlorothiazide for hypertension

Help, I need to know I'm not alone
I was on the same two medications for 24 years, effexor and trazadone, and managed my anxiety/depression/panic well my whole life. Long story short, I had a medical episode at the beginning of the year that necessitated I switch medications. I feel like I have been in hell for the last three months
