Severe anxiety & panic
Hi everyone, I have struggled with crippling anxiety my entire life. Up until about 14 it was hard to do anything on my own. I was constantly having panic attacks and then would just live in fear until the next one came on. I would get hot, shake, throw up, have a racing heart beat and literally just

I recently changed medications from 150 mg of
Effexor
XR
to 20 mg of Viibryd and even more recently, changed my rescue medication from 1 mg of Ativan, which during bad periods (pretty much the last two months) I've had to take up to 3 times a day to control my symptoms to even a tolerable level.

Hard Times
4 years ago I had a mental breakdown. I have always had health anxiety, but 4 years ago I woke up with Bell's Palsy. I was put on prednisone and it got better, but my mental health declined. I started wondering what caused it and how sick I really was. All my doctors said it was probably just a virus

Today is a new day, I will not let the food cravings win.... healthy eating here I come, wish me luck 👍

Withdrawals from Effexor
I’ve decided to quit my meds after being to hungry all the time. Just want to share that so far I’ve had no withdrawals. I have read 100s of horror stories about going cold turkey, brain zaps? Bad tummy, headaches etc, the list went on!!!! Feel totally fine, so fingers crossed. I’ll keep you posted.

Thyroid or something else?
Hi all, I've been reading some of the posts here and finally decided to make one myself. A little bit of background: I'm a 25-year-old male, living in the UK for about three years, originally from a country in central Europe. I've worked as a quantitative researcher for nearly two years now. I was diagnosed

Starting New Meds
Finally! After being on the same Anti-Depressant - Effexor for over 8 years and it not really working for the last 2 years my newer Dr. has started me on Cymbalta. I am hoping this helps, I have heard good things about Cymbalta from people I know that suffer the same issues that I do but I have also

New and Needed a New Outlet
That is where they put me on
Effexor
XR
. By the time I was out I was on 300 mg of it. I was also seeing a psychotherapist. It was going well. But again, I stopped seeing him and stopped taking my medication. I stayed with the abusive man. We had one more child together.

Hi everyone It’s been a while since I’ve been on here. I had been feeling pretty good, all things considered. My rheumatologist is slowly tapering back my prednisone. I was on 60mg and have worked my way down to 25mg. Can’t seem to keep my blood pressure down. I’m also on Effexor, 225 mg, which she

Panic attacks are ruining my life. The meds I take do not help. Escitalopram, Effexor, Modafinil (for excess sleeping) and Venlafaxine.
Meds are not helping panic attacks
