Combining ADHD and Anxiety meds for inattentive type? Please share your experience...
Hello, my 16 year old son was diagnosed with anxiety in 3rd grade but with ADHD, inattentive this past summer at age 16. He still suffers with anxiety, mostly social anxiety. His lack of executive functioning seems to be the biggest issue right now with some impulsivity. He had already been on Paxil

It's Impossible.
I can't ignore this feeling, I can't float through it. I am panicking all day every day with sickening, terrible new feelings each day. I have vertigo from anxiety and derealization and can barely tell which way is up. Sometimes I'm filled with so much fear it's all I can do to not just start screaming

No energy or interest!
For the last month I can’t seem to get anything done! Just lie around and my housework isn’t getting done! Just bored with everything! I take Effexor and lately some klonopin! I have a tendency to worry! I can worry about the darndest stuff! Anyone else?

Doing well but....
Was in
Effexor
xr
for over 5 years. Went off in spring 2017. I think it helped me. Should I go back on something OR is it the damn Pred. and symptoms of it and the PMR. I am sick of feeling crappy. And as I said ‘I have my shit together’ so I am very keen on living a healthy happy life!!!

9 year break ??
Just started
Effexor
XR
again but I’m still taking up to 3 Xanax a day to calm myself down and even had to lay down at work. I use ever tool i can think of to push the panic attacks away when I’m not in a “safe” place to release it but it’s not stopping.

Effexor and Mitazapine
Hi. I’m new here. Suffering from anxiety and slight depression. On 75 mg Effexor for 3 weeks. Mirtazapine 30mg. For a year. Anyone on both of these? The Effexor is causing anxiety (yuck) and insomnia, even with the Mirtazapine. How long do I have to wait for relief? Is this combo worth it? Thanks

Insomnia
I am on Effexor (almost 6 weeks now) and struggling with insomnia. Can anyone relate? Did it go away? What did you do to help? My doctor gave me sleeping aids and they aren’t helping.

So I'm not doing super well.
Yeah.. Im very out of it all the time, having dizzy spells and mild but back-to-back constant blackouts. Tingling body and an upset stomach every day. My dreams are crazy and when I wake up it feels like I haven't slept at all. I've been to the ER twice and they tested EVERYTHING. Im perfectly healthy

Weight loss after Effexor xr
Anyway, after I came off
Effexor
xr
(with minimal withdrawal for those that are curious) I dropped to where I currently sit at 107lbs. It really freaked me out! I don't ever remember being this small! Has anyone else had this?

Intense dread today
It's one of those days where I am filled with so much dread I can barely move. I can't do anything. I don't know if it's the effexor withdrawal or starting abilify. Everything looks and sounds strange. Numbers dont make sense to me whenI look at them? Idk I'm really scared.

Still trying to come off effexor.. Feeling faint every day
I feel faint, lightheaded, dizzy and sad. I've been checked out and it's confirmed to probably be just my med changes. Could anything more dangerous happen? Im weaning off effexor suuuper slowly and started abilify a few weeks ago. I'm so scared something bad is gonna happen but I'm hopeful too because

Hello!
Finally, I was put on
Effexor
XR
150 mg a day and that was my miracle drug as I always say. I sought therapy but, frankly, I have always had a hard time with the psych professionals. My misdiagnosis made me distrustful of the community. I found a psych and worked with him for a little while.

Old Age
I am 70 yrs. old and have suffered from anxiety and depression for 30+ yrs. I am having one of my worst episodes yet. Usually I can get better after 2 mos. , but this time it has been 5 mos. I wonder if age has anything to do with it. It is affecting my health. Taking Valium, Buspar and Effexor. Just

Lost control
Hi, I recently went through some stressful events that consequently sent me into an anxiety attack that has lasted for several weeks. At first I was outright panicking - I couldn't even breathe and my chest was crushing in on itself so tight that I honestly thought it was my heart. After a trip to the

Has anyone reduced their dosage of venlafaxine / effexor? I have decreases from 150mg to 75mg. What type of symptoms should I expect?
Hi, has anyone personally experienced or know someone who has reduced their dosage of venlafaxine / Effexor ( SNRIs- serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors ). I am experiencing a tremendous amount of brain fog and I am not sure why. I reduced my dosage about 45 days ago. I am also experiencing

Effexor
I just had my Effexor increased a month ago to 225mg. It was not helping, I have been so up and down, mostly staying anxious and depressed. I get so nervous that I feel like I'm having panic attacks and shaking. Also effexor is causing me to sweat like crazy. My forehead is sweaty, and sweat is dripping

Has anyone tried Zenzedi or Sunosi?
I am struggling trying to find relief from excess sleepiness, focus, motivation, etc. not diagnosed as narcolepsy - yet. I've tried Vyvanse, Ritalin, Focalin, Adderall , Provigil, anti depressants, and combos. None have provided substantial benefits. Anyone? About to start Effexor.
