BUSPIRONE vs VENLAFAXINE

My mental health lately has been the worst I think it’s EVER been, and I’ve been thinking about killing myself for a while now. I haven’t seriously tried to attempt yet, but it’s an urge that’s almost constantly on my mind. Last night was a really, really bad night for me, and I ended up awake and

I have my ketamine treatment appointment tomorrow morning. It is just the first appointment where they review me and I guess see if I'm a candidate for the treatment. It is being conducted via telehealth. I'm pretty scared that I'll be accepted and find out it doesnt work. Ive tried ssri, atypic

Has anyone else done this?? I’m taking bupropion, buspirone and escitalopram. I’ve been taking them for so long and it feels like they don’t even help. I’m still absolutely miserable. I can’t hold down a job and I can’t even get accepted for disability benefits. Seriously. What is even the point if

I'm finally starting to feel the effects of my anti anxiety/depressant meds, but as much as I like not being anxious, catastrophizing, or stressed, I also feel like I'm not as sharp as I used to be. It's hard to get motivated to do anything. I'm at a point in my life where I need to be maximizing my

i can’t keep a job. i can’t keep a clean house. i barely am able to feed my cats. i barely brush my teeth or hair. i just want to be high or drunk. i just want to smoke. i just want to do all these self destructive activities. i go back to therapy tomorrow. i started taking my buspirone again..but i

I was on 225 mg of Venlafaxine/Effexor. My Depression only felt a little better but the medicine also caused me to be angrier and have extreme mood swings. Psychiatrist also put me on Ziprasidone to help with the mood swings and apparently to boost the effect of the Effexor. I started going to a new

Not looking for hate or criticism but I feel ashamed because I’m on 3 different meds. Zoloft and Wellbutrin to counteract side effects from the Zoloft. And buspirone for anxiety and racing thoughts. I feel like I’m messed up but without these meds, I may not be here today. I’m so grateful for them b

I just needed to vent about my depression and my issues with society's stance on it somewhere. I thought these were supposed to be the best years of my life? I'm not ugly, and I like to think I'm funny and friendly, so why don't people like me? I'm always alone. Always, always, always. I've spent my

Chronic fatigue. I feel so so tired and weak all the time. Brain fog so bad it is even hard to read and comprehend stuff. Insomnia. I have to take strong sedatives to sleep. I feel like death after waking up. Developed bruxism in my sleep. Noticed it only after it fvcked up all my teeth and they s

Hi all, I unfortunately, went through a tough antidepressant withdrawal from Venlafaxine, and after finding out how common the issue was I decided to get started on creating an application to help. The app is simple and just allows you to keep track of your symptoms as they come, so you can identify

*This is more of a rant than anything. I'm sorry for the formatting. I am on mobile and not really able to think clearly right now*   One month ago, I was put in a psych ward by my parents (I'm still a minor) during what was one of the worst depressive episodes I have ever had. I was physic

I am at the end of my rope right now, and I have nowhere else to go except jump. I wake up every morning wishing it would all stop, and it's my last thought before falling asleep. I am finishing up my PhD this year, but I don't have nearly the job prospects I was expecting. I am in a field as a m

*This is a super long post*, but before I started my AD I was looking for something detailed like this to see people's progressions on their meds. I had a hard time finding much, and this is why I decided to track my own progress and share after 6 weeks. Backstory: 26yr F, have had anxiety and mild

I take Venlafaxine. Just increased from 75 mg to 150 mg. I used to masturbate a lot. Not everyday...but most days. Now I have absolutely zero urge to. I’m talking to a girl now and she says that she’s a “freak” sexually. But I’m basically asexual now because of my meds. So of course.

Hi, Reddit, Over the past month, I have been weaning off of Venlafaxine, I was only on it for 3 months but it has been a debilitating experience that should be taken seriously! After a lot of research, I have noticed many people have been taking these medications for years and the withdrawal symptom
