BUPROPION vs DESVENLAFAXINE

As I get older, I’m starting to become more aware of the telltale signs that my depression symptoms are getting worse. I’ve noticed that one very specific symptom is that I feel nostalgic about so many things. In a melancholy way, not a fun way. I think it’s my brain’s way of trying to comfort me by

I obviously am not cured but it’s easily my favorite one I’ve been on. I want to know if y’all have ever started a med and were just blown away!! For me, it’s Bupropion (Wellbutrin XL). It helped reduce my depression smoking and my lack of motivation. I’ve genuinely never been happier. ETA: It’s bee

I have been a reader of this sub-reddit for some time now, but it is time for me to post. I am a first generation Asian-American and I have severe depression. I am taking bupropion sr1 at 50mg. The meds work for the most part to the extent that I can function, but at times I feel a huge surge of

So as the title suggests, ive recently come out of a huge stent of depression, about 10 years worth. Because of how long ive been depressed, most of my entire personality was taken over by it. I became withddrawn, self defeating, gave up my activities and hobbies years ago because they were no long

I have been so exhausted lately that I am on the verge of dizziness some days. I get about eight hours of sleep, so I should be well rested enough, but I wake up barely able to get out of bed. It's also really cold right now, which is sapping a lot of what little energy I have left. I am trying not

After four years on a low dose of bupropion XL (100 mg) , I decided to stop taking it. My pharmacist told me to taper off slowly, so for the first 2.5 weeks I took it every 2nd day, and for the next 2.5 weeks I took it every 3rd day. The tapering process went smoothly, so I figured it was safe to st

I’ve been depressed and anxious since I was 10 (turning 22 this year..) and it almost feels like every year, I just lose a piece of myself. Every year, I lose more energy and more hope. I struggle with so much self doubt and self hatred. I wouldn’t kill myself but I often think of how great it would

I'm only 4 foot 10, and gained about 15 pounds in 4 months on mirtazapine. That is something like the equivalent of 6 or 8 dress sizes. I need to stay on the drug because of the severity of my depression and sleep dysfunction, with long covid. Over the course of 2 months I've lost 9 of those pounds,

I’ve been doing some reading about the 2 available forms of desvenlafaxine, but I think I’ve confused myself at this point. Other than the salt form, is there any major difference between the two? When looking at FDA orange book online, Desvenlafaxine ER succinate has an AB rating to Desvenlafaxine

I have been dealing with mysterious tachycardia and heart palpitations for almost a decade. I have no genetic or lifestyle flags for heart issues, and basically have just been told I should try more cardio and cut out the caffeine. For reference, my usual resting heart rate hangs around 95-105bpm. T

EDIT: Thank you so much to everyone who replied to this post I really appreciate all the inputs, you guys are seriously more helpful then some doctors I have seen. I've got a lot more to think about in terms of what my issues could be caused by including POTS which I think is a real possibility, ADH

I cannot find anything about mechanism pointing towards the uniqueness of duloxetine over venlafaxine or desvenlafaxine.

About a month ago I (19F) was prescribed Buspirone for anxiety and Desvenlafaxine for depression. These medications were chosen after I took a Genesight test and the results showed them to be among the best options. The person that prescribed them was not my usual consultant, but was the person I wa

I am a pharmacy technician with over 20 years of experience across just about every faction of pharmacy besides Big Pharma/R&D. I currently have a full time job in RX finance, and an evening gig in LTC data entry. The other day at my part time shop, I literally happened upon a script by chance

I (29F) learned in another Reddit thread that Miralax is derived from polyethylene glycol, a petroleum-based compound, derived from petroleum byproducts. This information obviously freaks me out. All of my medications have constipation/hard bowel movements as a side effect (Desvenlafaxine, clonidin
