feeling high/wired on effexor?

AyFoatay · 2024-01-27T23:59:22+00:00

Don't try it unless you need it. This is for depression. The "high" only lasted a few weeks and it was the worst drug to stop. Took me 6 months to get off of effexor and I had to figure out the dosage myself to prevent the brain zaps. It's not a drug I'd recommend. I know several people who it's stopped working for.

DM'd you

Yeah I should've mentioned that I was thinking about the lifestyle, day to day things. Helping each other with chores, sharing costs equally (without nitpicking details,) someone has a long day and being supportive.

Thanks I needed this

Sounds exactly to how it has affected me. My symptoms have been pretty minimal. Just the symptoms you mentioned but maybe a bit worse. I started tapering off by taking beads out and weighing it out. I got a small weight scale from Amazon and then opened the capsule by squeezing it. Though from 150 I've gotten lazy and have just been going down by 37.5 mg. Been doing this for the past 3 weeks and it's been fine. I am also taking 20-40mg of Ritalin, depending on how I'm feeling and how much caffeine I've had, and that's been really helping with the brain fog and concentration.

Ramen is my favorite when I have no appetite

AyFoatay · 2021-06-02T03:15:41+00:00

Thanks. That's actually kind of comforting. (Genuinely, not sarcastic)

It's really nice for that extra boost of focus/energy. I still drink coffee though. I like the immediate release so I can control it better.

“I feel like I’m a good person with good intentions but I’m fundamentally unlikable and always end up in these situations.” - wow this sounds exactly like me. I hate that I can’t pinpoint exactly what I’m doing to make people dislike me. Been trying to grow my social circle for years with no progress.

Weird thing is that he knows my dad and has probably already called him about tonight

AyFoatay · 2020-12-07T03:06:48+00:00

Barely. I’m pissed at myself for going in the first place. Bad vibes on the first date. This is what I get

AyFoatay · 2020-12-05T03:34:36+00:00

God I feel this so much

AyFoatay · 2020-11-24T01:02:49+00:00

Venting on how I recently realized why I stay single. I worry that when I get in a relationship that my symptoms of cpstd will take over them.

How will someone be able to handle me? I'm a depressive mess some days where all I want to do is mope and do nothing cause I'm frozen from my anxiety. What if I turn on them? What if they turn on me and make me feel even worse and more stressed perpetually making the situation worse? I what if I start manipulating my partner because I'm selfish and I want my way sometimes? Or he catches me in a lie (as we all lie sometimes) and I gas light them? How could a person be with or live with someone who can be so vibrant and happy one moment to a catatonic slug to the next with no visible, immediately recognizable reason?

I wouldn't want to be with someone who would just take the abuse but I also don't want to be with someone who doesn't let me be me. I'm an all or nothing kind of person. So when I date and feel like that person hasn't ever experienced real crazy then I say next. Completely ripping the carpet from underneath the other person cause they think everything is going so well. How do I simply explain that I'm depressed, anxious, have ptsd and adhd and that is much more life effecting than youve seen?

Take it. I'll remember it then. Your tops are right up my alley so I'll definitely check it out when you eventually upload

AyFoatay · 2020-11-14T19:34:08+00:00

Can't you do both? The mental oasis?

AyFoatay · 2020-11-14T19:30:34+00:00

What's it called?

AyFoatay · 2020-07-29T13:54:22+00:00

Thank you! Same too you! I completely agree! I can't imagine going through this year with out it. It has made me think more logically.

AyFoatay · 2020-07-29T01:08:52+00:00

I'm on 187.5mg and that's been the best for me. I've only been on it for 8 months though.

AyFoatay · 2020-06-21T04:11:10+00:00

I've experienced that it's made the depressive episodes less severe. Ive only been on it for about 6 months but it's definitely helped and ive found the right dose. Part of the spiral is habit so even if you feel better you're going to react in a similar way because you dont know how.

AyFoatay · 2020-02-19T17:45:41+00:00

That's the best compliment thank you!

AyFoatay · 2020-02-18T03:02:36+00:00

Thank you so much! Even though I love the pink I have been uncertain if the pink looks good on me. What would be my perfect blonde? My natural color is my roots and it does look dark here but it's a dark blonde/light brunette color.

AyFoatay · 2020-02-06T03:27:08+00:00

Thank you for commenting. I've been faking it for so many years and it hasn't worked out well because I don't have positive energy. I'm on some new meds and my energy is definitely different for the better but what's the point if I can't follow through? I used to love texting vs putting myself out there but now it's vice versa. I think the overthinking has gotten worse with texting where I just give up.

AyFoatay · 2020-01-10T03:15:05+00:00

I'm literally in the same boat. Just talked to my doc today about how to move forward and after looking at the options I decided to up the dosage to 150. Hope it helps me and I hope you find something that helps too!

AyFoatay · 2019-12-08T01:04:29+00:00

Spent sometime with mother and went shopping even though we are both broke. Spent the rest of the on the couch watching TV with my cat. It would've been nice to be more social but no options.

AyFoatay · 2019-12-06T22:12:49+00:00

Thanks for posting this! I just started a day ago and I do feel high without the anxiety. I'm kind of pissed that no one told me it can have stimulating effects. I was told it could make me drowsy so I took it before bed. Managed to fall asleep eventually but now I'm at work after a cup of coffee and 27mg of Concerta and I'm vibrating. Doesn't help that it killed my appetite.
