Questioning NP aversion to stimulant medication for 12yr old
Our 12 year old is newly diagnosed ADHD combination in December. This came after my own diagnosis at age 35 last summer. My own journey to diagnosis and freedom from previous weight of medication-managed anxiety and depression has been amazing. I have gradually eliminated and am weaning off medications

Feeling Better with new medication
Just to let you all know that my panic and anxiety attacks have stopped. I started using Effexor ER and my Xanax 1.0. It had made a big difference in my mood and I have the energy to do the things I never wanted to do. I am so happy something is actually working.

Venlafaxine nightmare
I have slowley weaned off Effexor 75 mg with the help of my Doctor. I have Cervical Dystonia and am in pain all the time. The side effects from coming off effexor are so horrible. It has been 3 weeks and I feel like it will never get better. The brain fog, nausea, insomnia, weekness in limbs, overwhelming

Zapping My Way Down On Effexor
Hey all. Started another drop the other day on my way to find an ideal level on the Effexor. I started the drop last fall when I went from 375mg down to 225 but I had to put a halt to it when I tried 150. By that time we were right at the shortest days of the year and my nerves wanted me to get comfortable

ADHD Medication Costs
Is anyone else seeing big swings in medication costs month to month? I try not to stress over the price of medications because I consider them to be necessities. They help my son feel better and as a result, our family time is more peaceful on most days. Instead of stressing over the price, I tell

Viibryd and Dopamine
I had been trying to switch to Viibryd from Effexor. I had made it about 3 weeks when everything went down in flames. Anxious beyond measure and fast heart rate. Just a 24/7 anxiety show. My doctor said she has had patients do well for a few weeks then it stops working if it’s not a good fit. She said

I have been going on a month now since I first started the switch and about 3 weeks since I totally stopped my Effexor and taking just viibryd. Idk if my body is just delayed on adjusting but in the last 3 days I have started having

Has anyone taken the antidepressant Efexor? How was it? How did your Dr determine what dosage to take?

Starting Zoloft and a new job... when to take adderall again?
Hey yall! So I’ve been taking Adderall XR (15mg) and prescribed IR to take when needed for adhd (inattentive). The combo works well for me but my psych put me on Zoloft to get a handle on my depression. We tried wellbutrin which felt like magic but I was getting some of the serious/rare side effects
