I Need to see a Psychiatrist
I am suffering from severe anxiety. My family doctor put me on effexor last month. I feel awful and can't stand this feeling anymore. I looked up the timeline to see a Psych in Ontario Canada and it's a 4 month average. Should I try to see a psychologist even though I can't afford it? I am desparate

Want to get rid of brain zaps? I recently figured out how.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, right? Wrong. First off, bear in mind: I AM NOT A DOCTOR NOR DO I CLAIM TO HAVE ANY MEDICAL TRAINING OR QUALIFICATIONS WHATSOEVER. I have a B. Sc. In Environmental Science but it gives me a knowledge of half-lives of chemicals in a biological system

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.

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.
