Help me please.
Effexor tapering is killing me. And my doctor took me off of levothyroxine cold turkey because my blood work looks good. I feel absolutely insane. I'm constantly panicking. I feel physically ill. I'm having crazy neurological symptoms. I see a neurologist in a week but I'm so scared something is going

stimulation
I find that I am always needing something hightly stimulating to feel normal. It's very annoying. I am often occupied with my phone, watching a movie, listening to music, playing a game, or something else. I am very drawn to things like pornography and marijuana. Most of the medications I have taken

Effexor withdrawal
Anyone have experience with this? I tried to titrate down in order to try Lexapro (I was on Effexor 300 and still depressed) but my depression worsened and my anxiety skyrocketed. I don’t know if it was the Effexor withdrawal or the Lexapro. Only tried for 2 weeks on Lexapro 10 mg and had to go back

Focalin XR Generic by Teva - thoughts?
Hey yall, first time poster here. My son will be 8 in a week; he's been on Concerta since last November, but after increasing his dose from 9mg to 18, then 27, it just wasn't enough - his focus and impulse control were better but his emotional regulation was still severely lacking. We bumped to 36mg

Efexor XL - should I be taking double the dose but once a day?
I think the GP messed up my prescription. I was on 150mg twice a day and asked to go on prolonged release because of the insomnia. The doc prescribed half the dose. 75mg, twice a day. The pharmacist said it should be 2 x 75mg, once a day but that is half my previous dose. I feel like shit and think it

Lexapro 30mg to Effexor?
Hi everyone. My doctor is recommending switching from Lexapro 30mg to Effexor. Does anyone have experience switching over to Effexor? She told me I could just stop the lexapro and start taking the Effexor. Or that I could cut the lexapro in half for a few days and add the Effexor to that. I was under

Depression or medicine
Had bad stomach pain, but only problem was gastritis. I worry about my health too much. But my problem now is that I sleep all day. Just don't want to get out of bed. I am pretty sure it is depression. I take klonopin, buspirone, effexor, seroquel and heart and cholesterol medicine. I have had these

Menopause and depression
I struggle with depression and take Effexor. I had a hysterectomy in March and was given no hormones after and I struggled bad. My family Doc put me on a low dose birth control and it’s been 2 months and I’m still struggling with depression and fatigue and crying. Don’t know what to do. My self esteem

I'm having a lot of trouble tapering off effexor.
Im only on 37.5, and had only been on if for like a month and a half when I started very slowly tapering off of it because I felt it was making things worse. Now the problem is I'm feeling intense anxiety, derealization and all sorts of new unpleasant feelings all the time and I have no way of knowing

Off Effexor 150 cold turkey-feels like I’m losing my mind
Is there anyone at all out there that can relate to coming off this stuff cold turkey? I’m about a week into cold turkey (unwillingly) and I feel like I’m coming apart physically and mentally. Typing this is taking me forever because I keep screwing up my words. I stupidly somehow missed some weeks

Effexor XR/Venlafaxine 225mg - bruising
Is it common to have increased bruising when taking venlafaxine? As in: when you hit against something, perhaps with your leg or foot, you have a wide spread of bruising, when previously you maybe didn't bruise that easily?

I couldn't sleep last night and I was able to stay awake the whole day. I rode my bike for 15 kilometers. I made an appointment at the hospital to get my eyes examined and I was there on time. I washed my hair. I brushed my teeth. I tried to read a book but failed. I tried to write about depression
