My new meds are amazing! Effexor and hydroxyzine. Great combo for me. What meds work for you?

New Meds
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

Child with ADHD and Severe Mood Swings
My wife and I have 2 children with ADHD. Our son is 10 and is having some very defiant mood swings. Usually every morning before his medicine and again in the evenings when his medication is wearing off. We are wondering if it is ODD or just mood shifts from the lack of medicine in his system. Consequences

National Shortage
Sorry if this has already been posted, but I am wondering how everyone is handling the shortage? I first heard that it was adderall and my son wasn't being affected because he takes Focalin xr. Last time refill they could only give me 20 instead of 30. I called right now to possibly up my sons dose

Hello...struggling today
Hi everyone, I am really struggling today. My issue is terrible health anxiety triggered by the pandemic. I work as a massage therapist and was doing fine before the pandemic having one flare up in 2014 where I believed I had a contagious skin disease and was contaminating everyone. Getting a good

Effexor XR / Venlafaxine
I started on 75mlg of
Effexor
XR
first of August, things were going GREAT for about 2 1/2 weeks. (I feel like this could of been a placebo affect, as I know it wouldn't be fully in my system that quick) I was upped to 150 mlg and then my anxiety came back.

Fear of going back on antidepressants
I've been on meds a few times in the past for my anxiety and depression but went off the last time just before the pandemic hit (perfect timing, huh?). I really felt Prozac helped me a lot before and had mild side effects but then the effects would fade and my doctors would change me to something else

Alternatives to Vyvance?
Hello, I had posted another article the other day, which has been very helpful. This subject was posed in there but I thought a direct question would help. My son is 27 and has been on Vyvanse 70 mg for 10 years. I know it is not working. He seems to function well at work. He has a detailed job

Vyvanse or concerta? Med question
hey all! Looking for some insight. I’ve been on Vyvanse since November. Started at 10mg and each month it’s been raised to 40mg. I’ve been able to tell some difference than when I don’t take it, but when talking to my dr this past week, I had shared some of my symptoms and behaviors. I’m also on

Effexor
I took Effexor for 15 years. Was on 225 for a while and was fine. I got off Effexor last year and couldn’t manage so I slowly went back on it. I have made my way back up to 225 because my anxiety was still there. I have days where I feel drugged or loopy. I can’t really put my finger on what it feels

Introduction
hi everyone, I’m 50, in perimenopause and struggling big time with declining cognition, adhd hormonal issues. I currently take adderall XR which I find helpful but it wears off quickly. Would like to use hormone replacement But Dr says no…I’m still menstruating every month.

Anxious and Afraid
I have been dealing with significant anxiety for the past few weeks after some health events happened. Dont know what to do :( I have tried a couple of medications but I am afraid of their side effects, dont know if I have them or if it is in my mind. I feel constantly a head pressure and dizziness.

changing meds
I have used effexor for 20 years. I’t recently stopped working so I decided to make a change to Prozac. I’ve been off effexor for about a week and it n Prozac for 4. My anxiety is terrible. Has anyone else experienced this after changing meds and does it stop?

10 year old refuses ADHD diagnosis and medication
Hi all! My 10 year old daughter was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD over the summer. She had a hard time initially dealing with the diagnosis, then came around a bit and was taking Focalin XR. We saw a lot of improvements in attention and executive function, especially in school . After the holiday
