Hi all, This is the first time I'm talking to other people about my recent diagnosis outside of my husband. I recently was diagnosed with anxiety and depression and my doctor put me on effexor (75 mg) which I have been on for about three weeks. I was doing well on it for awhile, but recently have started

Effexor and trazadone questions
So my psychiatrist has prescribed me effexor and trazadone for panic attacks and insomnia and im terrified to take effexor I've been reading everywhere that it is one of the most unsafe antidepressants and that it doesn't work, what are your guys opinions on it and has it ever worked for any of you?

Effexor
Hi all! Haven’t been here in a while!!! I hope everyone is doing well! I’m actually doing pretty good with the whole depersonalization/derealization nightmare. And that’s Thanks to Effexor and Xanax. Anyways, I have a quick question..... I can’t remember for the life of me if I took my Effexor this

Medication stopped working after two weeks?
Hello Support team (Yes, you all are), My daughter is currently on Focalin XR which was increased in dosage, and started Guanfacine about 3-4 weeks ago. When the guanfacine was started, it was almost night and day. We had tons of great reports from school, she was making great progress at home. Fast

Changing meds
Looking for some advice about meds. My son is 8 and takes Adderall XR 10mg. We thought it was helping but I am just not sure it is the right medication. His appetite is poor and not sleeping well lately. Doctor suggested Remeron to help with sleep and appetite? Anyone ever try it? Did it help?

You can do this!
I just want to let you guys know that this will pass! Whatever feeling you have, is only temporary. It won’t feel like, it feels like it will last forever, but it won’t. I currently am dealing with GAD and have had anxiety for 8 years now. Cured for 3 but do to some circumstances I’ve relapsed back

Effexor round 2
Hi everyone, This is my 5th time on antidepressants, surprisingly not for depression, but anxiety and insomnia. I tried 3 different kinds before finding Effexor. It was hell going on but about 3 weeks in a saw the light. My anxiety was almost completely gone and I started sleeping immediately after

Has MS affected your dreaming? how?
I'm not talking about life dreams, just the regular dreams that happen when you sleep... Here's my story. I am such an anxious person that the doctor put me on Effexor about 14 years ago. All dreaming stopped back then (yes, everybody says I still dream but I just don't remember it). It just felt like

Help with 12yr old son and school/home work!
My son is 12 years old, he is a 7th grader and we are struggling with his grades. Im trying as much as I can to help him, but also trying to make him responsible for his own grades. He is currently on Focalin XR, I've been considering CBD oil but I honestly don't know what else to do to help him be successful

School Behavior and Medication
My Child is 7yrs old and has ADHD combined. He has been really struggling with behavior in school which is also impacting his school work. He is using his hands cannot focus to get the work done.

Do decreased side effects mean med is not working as well?
My 13 year old has been taking Adderall XR 10 mg for a month. It has clearly been working as she has straight A's right now - which was not the goal and is pretty outrageous! We've been using a little rating scale I found and it seemed the 10 mg was working really well. Recently, I found the side effects

Over it
I suffer with anxiety and depression maybe a touch of bipolar. I have tried almost every medication and everything makes me feel worst except for a light dose of Xanax when I have attack’s or overwhelming situations. I recently had been doing so well with depression it was unreal to me. I thought I

When will it get better
I just had a med change almost 2 weeks ago. I was taking Effexor and changed to Trintellix. I have been fighting depression for 25 years. I usually don’t have such a bad reaction to a med change, but this has been awful. In almost 2 weeks I have spiraled down to a horrible place. So anxious and depressed

Neurological examination?
I have been informally diagnosed with adhd by my primary and new psychiatrist. I am taking 10mg at adderall xr. All I can say is: Life. Changing. (!) Next step is formal diagnosis with a neurological examination. What is that like? What can I expect? Thank you! I don’t want to worry myself to death

Effexor withdrawal - 9 months
I’m just wondering if anyone here has experienced withdrawal from SSRI’s. It’s been almost a year since I’ve been off them but I still have a hard time getting through the day without crying. Crying is so easy for me and I get triggered easily and quickly. Just wanted to see if this is something normal

Anxiety getting the best of me
Hello, I have posted before about my bout with anxiety with this episode of hyperthyroid. Diagnosed about 2 1/2 months ago with my 3rd round of graves hyperthyroid. Dr suggesting I have a permanent treatment (RAI) this time. My problem is my anxiety is so bad. Started taking Xanax about 2 months

Anyone have or know anybody with Hypercalcemia?
I saw my endocrinologist this past week and she thinks because I have had consistently high calcium and low vitamin D counts its very likely that I have hypercalcemia. She told me the it might require surgery to remove the gland. I was 99% sure that when I went through my Brainsway TMS treatment that
