Anybody switched from cymbalta to Effexor? For anxiety?
Hey, I was wondering if anybody here has switched snri? Cymbalta second time around helps, but not as much as before... would it even make sense to switch to a different snri? Ive been on celexa for years until it stopped working... Just added abilify low dose to stabilize moods, initially it seemed

Advice
For the past three years I’ve been on Effexor, an anti-anxiety and anti-depressant but it caused me to gain a lot of weight. So I weaned off of it but I think I was kinda of naïve in thinking things would go back to normal. I have crying spells and I can’t find happiness in things I used to and I have

Guilt OCD, Treatment meds?
Then was put on
Effexor
XR
, got up to 112.5 mg, for about a month, then tried upping it to 150 which resulted in heightened anxiety... so doc brought it back down to 112.5. I've been there 3 more months doing well.

Hello to All
Hello, I've been just recently diagnosed with type 5 Limbic ADHD (and a lot of other types too lol) and I'm just starting the experimenting of what medications will work best for me and what won't. I also suffer from muscles back and neck pain, on top of really awful anxiety. I've just started taking

Quillivant xr and tachycardia
My daughter was diagnosed with atrial tachycardia when she was almost 2. She has been off of meds for about 4 years now with no episodes. She was just recently diagnosed with ADD and her so doctor prescribed the lowest dosage of Quillivant XR. Anyone have any experience taking it after being diagnosed

Just an update
So, we thought we had it all figured out with the Focalin XR, but after about 4 months, it began to loose its effectiveness and my son began experiencing more unpleasant side effects. We discovered that the Cyprohetadine or the combination of it and the Focalin was really making him miserable. An hour

Pristiq vs effexor
Has anyone tried both Effexor and pristiq? I have tried just about every antidepressant with no luck and unfortunately may have to resort to ECT, but I really don't want to if I don't have to. I have been on Effexor with no luck and my psychiatrist is now recommending pristiq. From what I understand

Why Does Our Brain Fight Us?
So....everyone tells me this will help. Getting how I feel off my chest. I’m sort of a “man’s man” I guess you would say. Don’t like doctors, hate getting sick, cut my finger? Just some electrical tape will do. But, in 2011 my life flipped upside down. A chain events sent me into a spiral that I can’

Switching cymbalta to Effexor? Add on low dose abilify? Really struggling here
Hi, last year I was put on cymbalta (After celexa stopped working) for anxiety and ibs. It worked really well. After 6 months I came off it, to see if I could and if my skills I had learned would suffice to deal with remaining anxiety. First couple of weeks were great. Then some thyroid med issues and

Feeling down
My son has been on Focalin XR and Guanfacine ER for about four months. Things improved somewhat as the daily phone calls from the school stopped; however the incidents he has had seem to feel more dangerous. He tried to hurt another child at school on Friday and had to be picked up. His outbursts are

Daughter Diagnosed with ADHD, any tips/stories with similar situations are welcomed?!
My 6 year old Daughter just got diagnosed with ADHD(combined type). She doesn't have any behavior issues, she's a sweet, well mannered little girl. She does have trouble focusing at school, at home she does a little better as she is an only child but I cant say I struggle with her AT ALL. I'm very hesitant

Getting back motivation!?
How do you get back your motivation and strength? Will this happen once I start copaxone? Are there other ways to do this. My neurologist prescribed me Effexor 37.5mg which I haven’t started yet because I hate drugs that mess with your mind and feelings. While I do feel depressed I have every reason

Med question
I just started taking
Effexor
xr
and it has given me horrible panic for 2 nights with racing scary thoughts...is this normal in the beginning stages? or is this a sign it's not for me? I'm new to starting meds trying to find the right one for me.
