Effexor Brain Zaps
Hi. I’ve taken Effexor for over 10 years and always get the brain zaps if I am even a couple hours behind in taking it every day. What is strange is starting this past Monday I’ve been experiencing the zaps all week, it’s a constant feeling, BUT I HAVE NOT gone off the Effexor or changed my dose in any

Sorry for the length. I'm new and zero focus is a problem.
Effexor
XR
but it's not helping at all with the anxiety. My husband asked if it could actually make anxiety or panic worse. And I'm still sad the majority of every day. I need a handle on this quick because I realize that Mason is 5 and has never seen me on the right medicine.

Quillivant and Adderall side effects
My 7 year old has tried Quillivant XR and Adderall...he has bouts of crying, gets cold, irritable and does not want to do what he normally would (play outside, be silly) until meds wear off. Has anyone experienced this and changed to a nonstimulant? Any advice is helpful, thank you!

Trying to balance what I lose/gain from medication. Meditating to manage Anxiety
I have severe social anxiety and some GAD and have been taking venlafaxine/effexor since I graduated college. By far the best outcome of any psychotropic Ive tried. I can go to work and carry on normal conversations with people without falling apart. My own thoughts and feelings arn't torture. It was

Weaning from Effexor
I’m a retired woman in the process of weaning from Effexor. Would love to hear from others who have been successful at this.

What is the difference between Adderall and Adderall XR?
How different is the simple Adderall to Adderall XR and how do they function in our body for the treatment of ADHD? Which one is more efficient then other?

Booster for Vyvanse
I’ve been taking Vyvanse for years. Since about 2012. I was on 40 for about 5 years then went up to 60 & 70. Then I stopped at my own discretion. I decided to get back on but my doch had retired 2 days before I called. Wtf right... He referred me to another dr that he mentored which turned out great

Why do I do this?
I am already on 150 mg of
Effexor
XR
twice a day and I don't want to mess with my meds. I know this will all pass and I will go back to myself soon, but the inbetween time sucks.

Anxiety!!!
Hello friends, Do any of you suffer with anxiety? I’m on 225mg of Effexor (anti depressant/anxiety). I’m pretty much ok during the day but when it’s time for bed, my insides are shaking. Even a sleeping pill they gave me doesn’t work. I can’t control that awful feeling of my body shaking inside. So,

Finding help after ADHD diagnosis post menopause
I am a 67 yr old female who has had a rough 16 years since menopause, with still no resolution for the correct meds for me. I was put on antidepressants at the start of menopause at 51, then wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until 61 - after 10 years of utter brain fog and apathy (and lost 4 jobs in a row).
