New Poster, nervous and unsure if this is real.
My folks, trying to be supportive, sought solutions through pharmacology, but I ended up having some extreme adverse reactions to a few of them like
Effexor
- which induced rage-states that ultimately had me packed off to a juvenile psychiatric ward after the summer of my junior year to rapidly detox

New Meds
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 no idea of just how off I would feel.

Effexor
I took
Effexor
for 15 years. Was on 225 for a while and was fine. I got off
Effexor
last year and couldnāt 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.

Will I ever feel ānormalā?
I took
Effexor
for a short time and stopped when I was 16 due to side effects. After I had my first child at age 23 I started on pristiq and found I was barely surviving, my MD switched me to Prozac which I am on now, and have found good effects but still suffering with symptoms at times.

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.

Fear of going back on antidepressants
I've had some unpleasant side effects from those other meds and the last one I was on,
Effexor
, I had terrible withdrawal symptoms for months that I said I would never go on antidepressants again.

Vyvanse or concerta? Med question
Iām also on
Effexor
for complex ptsd and generalized anxiety. I found myself trying to justify what adhd is like to my dr and felt pretty invalidated the majority of the visit. I was hoping to have my Vyvanse increased to 50mg, but instead she switched me to Concerta 27mg.

Has any one taken Effexor?
He things a short course on
Effexor
might help. His advanced assistant will call on Monday to discuss. Has anyone here experience with this drug?

A New Year and Best Wishes to Everyone
My GP prescribed
Effexor
, which gave me bad side effects. Next, a psychiatrist put me on Klonopin and Paxil, which kicked in after 5 weeks but had bad sexual side-effects. Next, we tried Lexapro, which gave me vison problems and made me pathologically restless. Then, back on Paxil briefly.

I finally left the house today.
Hi...I am up out of bed and went to my therapy and psychiatry appointments. Iam a little nervous....she is adding efexor on top of 200 of zoloft to see if that helps. Has anyone had any experience with this combo?

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.
