Venlafaxine /Effexor xl
Help! I am on 150mgs of Venlafaxine or Effexor xl capsules but i have to take out 2 little tablets because 126mgs suits me better. My Pharmacist keeps changing brand names which is messing with my moods. Now inside the capsules i am getting granules instead of tiny tablets. I have counted

Irritability in the evenings
I have always had a hard time transitioning from work to home. Even before I had kids, I would have to decompress before I could even talk to my husband. With kids, it’s worse because I just have to jump into being with them, making dinner, laundry etc. I have built in a little break for myself that

New ADHD diagnosis for my 6 year old girl
My little girl is newly diagnosed with ADHD though I’m not that shocked. The past year of school has been incredibly challenging: hitting the teacher, explosive emotions, easily frustrated, highly impulsive. This school year started and after she headbutted the floor, I decided to consult a doctor. The

Increase Zoloft to 150 mg. Sleepyness.
So instead of changing Zoloft 100 mg to Effexor my doctor suggested to increase Zoloft to 150 mg. It's been two days taking 150mg I feel very sleepy for now. Will that go away???? Does anybody experienced the same and saw this side effect reduced after some days of taking it???I'd be great to hear from

Gabapentin after Venlafaxine
I have been on Effexor (Venlafaxine) 37.5 to help with my hot flashes which has helped me to a certain extent. My Dr. recommended to double the strength to see if it would take care of more of the hot flashes. After two months of using it I have come to the conclusion that it has not helped me, rather

What dose of adderall is your child on?
Hi everyone! My son is 7 years old and up to 15mg of Adderall XR. I don’t see it working much anymore and the next increase will be 20mg. If your kid is around the same age and on Adderall, please share their milligram/dosing. Or did your kid not have the best results on it and switch to another stimulant

Effexor Withdrawal
I am trying to withdraw from
Effexor
75
XR
after 24 years. I started tapering in late May 2022 and have only reduced to 73 since then. I tried to reduce to 72.7 2 weeks ago and have been very sick ever since, so I went back up to 73. Still sick.

My new meds are tough. I started them on Friday. I switched from Zoloft to Effexor. I increased my hydroxyzine to a higher dosage. I need encouragement. I have more irritation, extreme mood swings, & I suddenly get very cold when it first kicks in. My doctor let me know most side effects. But, I had

Med Change
So, the Zoloft no longer works, even at the highest dosage. So, my psychiatrist switched to Effexor on Friday. My mood changes are HORRIFIC. LOL That is supposed to be normal until my body gets used to it. But, I have noticed that I get very cold once it kicks in. Is this normal? Will it pass?

Adderall XR 20mg
I was finally diagnosed after a lifetime of feeling unmotivated and not like a normal person. I’m 35.. My doctor wanted to put me on Vyvance to help with weight loss as well, but my insurance won’t cover it until I try other alternatives. So he recommended Adderall XR 20mg. Today was my first day. I
