medication failure again...
My Effexor is making me physically feel ill with nausea, and muscle joint pain but it is helping my overall mental health so I guess that is just some side-effects I will have to deal with. I recently increased to 150mg because I start school again (in about a month) and that is a whole lot of stress

Looking for Positive Support.. Reply would be helpful.
So I just found this group online and downloaded the app. I guess I’ll just start with a bit about myself. I’m 26 years old and a nursing student. I graduate in about 6 months, and I also have a 6 year old son. I’ve dealt with anxiety since I was a child, but My anxiety was at its absolute worst about

Effexor ??
Is anyone else taking Effexor for generalized anxiety and depression? I take 150+75 mg a day. If I skip a dose I could easily jump off a bridge. That’s how much I need or am dependent on the medicine. I’ve tried going off on my own but it’s bad when I do. Instead of feeling lonely and sad I feel so utterly

Your symptoms don’t matter.
Long story short. My anxiety started 20 years ago. A year and a half ago I discovered Claire Weekes. I read her book and gave it a shot. I asked a few questions of Jeff and Beevee. I watched that Anxiety guys YouTube videos which I highly recommend. And I also watched Wonderbro on YouTube. It’s a year

Effexor start up side effects
So my dr recently switched me from Zoloft to Effexor 37.5mg. I started taking it last week and within 3 days I could already tell I was starting to feel weirder (out of it yet anxious, headaches, lethargic, etc). Since I was also decreasing my Zoloft dose from 50mg to 25mg she also thought maybe it’s

Hopeless...nothing will get better
Hi everyone. I have been a long time sufferer of depression and anxiety (both diagnosed, and treated with meds and psychotherapy). I'm a 47 year old man, married over 20 years, and the only thing that makes my life worth living anymore is my 11 year old daughter, that I love more than life itself. I'm

Has anyone been on Effexor?
Hello everyone, I was proscribed Effexor by my doctor for my anxiety, but I am nervous about taking it. I had been prescribed sertraline, and reacted horrible to it. I guess I am just afraid of taking any drugs but I feel like I really need to give this a try as I cannot manage well right now. Anyone

Increased anxiety, panic and depression
For the last year I have been dealing with increased anxiety, panic attacks and depression. This is something I have been dealing with since a child and have been on Zoloft for the last 12 years and did fairly well on it. I got a divorce 3 years ago and honestly until last year don't feel like I really

New to IBS and looking for suggestions to calm down my newly irritated gut
Hi A few months ago I decided to SLOWLY taper off effexor which I'd been taking for 18 years. Over a month I kinda succeeded but my gut got very unhappy and stayed that way. Lots of frequent lose stool, gel "leaking" out. I asked a friend who's an internist and he said sounds like you've got IBS. It

New to ADD meds but need to switch
I was diagnosed in April with ADD. I have always struggled with school but had been able to compensate until reaching the doctoral level. After almost quitting my program I decided to get evaluated. I started taking the generic Concerta in April and It has really made a difference and enabled me to make

Hello! Day 1
Hello out there - our 7-year old son was diagnosed with ADD back in August and we started meds last Friday, Adderall XR - 10 mg. I joined today because the last 2 nights he's had a hard time falling asleep. I found a few posts about taking a supplement and landed on the Brain MD Restful Sleep supplement

Genesight
I forgot to mention that my son took the genetic testing and all the adhd meds were in the red zone. Which meant he had a significant gene drug interaction with all the adhd meds. My doctor did not explain what that meant. When I went home I read the report and understood that none of those meds will
