Candesartan vs VENLAFAXINE

Update: we met with the cardiologist today. She has put through a referral for an urgent CT angiogram but is worried it might take 2 months, so if she can’t get it sooner, they’re going to do a regular angiogram. Also referred for a cardiac MRI and has a holter monitor on. Hoping these tests will

At first I was very biased because I thought maybe I am just overexaggerating a bit. However, the longer I started taking this magnesium supplement, the more I started to realise that this stuff is legit. It has gotten to a point where I don't even experience a severe headache anymore when having a

I had physiotherapy for two years, giving me massages, exercises and dry needling. It sure did improve my health situation, but I noticed that it only had a temporary effect. The therapist then finally suggested me to see a neurologist. Since then I got diagnosed with "out-of-the-sudden" chronic mig

NOTE: Progress updates posted below the main post. I am 59, my wife is 57. We met with Dr. Alan Green in NY on Thurs., and return home next Wednesday (we live in Honolulu) when we will fill our Rapamycin prescriptions (Sirolimus) and begin our program in earnest. Along with Rapamycin, we both curren

(female, 24). 173 cm, 56 kgs, smoker (nicotine). For the past seven years I have been getting what several doctors have diagnosed with “chronic migraines” on a daily basis although the severity changes. A migraine. Every single day. For 7 years. No treatment is working. So you can imagine my desper

BELGIUM (West-Vlaanderen) My wife’s suffering from migraine since 2018. No pain relief found, on the contrary, quantity and intensity raises by day. Since 1st January 2026 she had 3 pain free days in 50 days… average pain index 6-7/10 (not able to function, in bed or zombie). Last 2y she’s working

Is there any clinical reason to use two ARBs together ? (i.e. candesartan 8mg + valsartan 40mg). I can wrap my head around ACEi + ARB combo for extremely resistant and maybe it helps some minority of patients. But this makes no sense to me.

Don't downvote this to oblivion like other comments I've made on this subject in the past. I'm merely curious. I hear all the time that drug prices in the US are really exorbitant in comparison to other parts of the world. So I just wanted to gauge the price between where I am in Australia and the U

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
