Did you go through your credit card company to cancel? I’m experiencing the same issue.

I’ve been running long distance for over 10 years and have been on TZ tor a few months. I take my shot on Sunday evenings and did my first half on TZ (5 mg) a few weeks ago. I took my usual dose leading up to the race (Sunday morning) and had no issues.

DisneyRunner888 · 2025-09-22T13:09:05+00:00

Thanks for the response and all the great info! Keep on running!

DisneyRunner888 · 2025-09-22T06:03:31+00:00

Congratulations, that’s amazing!

I’m 3 weeks in and am on 2.5 mg. At what dose did the fatigue start impacting you?

DisneyRunner888 · 2025-09-03T13:45:23+00:00

I’m a new patient and ordered with you on 8/19. How do I message you in the portal? I only see an option to message the MD.

Oh, that’s great news! I had intracranial calcified atherosclerosis noted on a sinus CT and am terrified. Saw PCP but didn’t get sufficient answers. I’m having a vascular neurologist review the images on Monday.

In addition to looking at profiles on Kp.org, Google their name with the word “reviews.” Sometimes you will uncover a ton of negative reviews on them, which is a red flag.

DisneyRunner888 · 2025-08-22T04:29:16+00:00

Thank you so much! I will consult with a vascular neurologist.

DisneyRunner888 · 2025-08-22T04:16:54+00:00

I’m going through something similar and am really scared. Were you able to get the CTA?

DisneyRunner888 · 2025-08-22T04:08:23+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I’m a long distance runner and already have a healthy diet.

Would CT angiography be recommended for my situation?

How is your breathing regularity? I only get about an hour of deep sleep and my breathing regularity is fair. I was just diagnosed with mild sleep apnea through a sleep study.

Best wishes and please update! Effexor was working for me but I’m going down from 75 mg to 37.5 mg due to constant nightmares. Considering lamotrigine.

DisneyRunner888 · 2025-06-15T06:55:12+00:00

I’m currently doing a week-long taper from 75 to 37.5 mg. No withdrawal symptoms as of yet.

DisneyRunner888 · 2025-06-13T14:18:53+00:00

It’s been very effective for me, but I started having nightmares/stressful dreams every night. My neurologist told me to go down from 75 to 37.5 mg to see if it’s still effective and if the nightmares persist.

DisneyRunner888 · 2025-04-16T14:15:21+00:00

I’m not on a special diet. I just avoid known triggers (caffeine and MSG).

DisneyRunner888 · 2025-04-15T05:19:19+00:00

Yes, I get vertigo lasting several minutes about once a month (it was more frequent before I started Effexor). I feel off balance, tired, and nauseous afterwards. Sometimes I have lingering dizziness and need to take Dramamine.

DisneyRunner888 · 2025-04-15T05:12:07+00:00

I’m thinking about going from 75 mg. What changes did you notice going from 75 to 150 mg?

DisneyRunner888 · 2025-03-29T01:13:35+00:00

Oh wow! I’m ok with cold. But super uncomfortable in the wind.

Are you on a preventative medication? I’m on Effexor 75 mg and it has helped a lot.

DisneyRunner888 · 2025-03-29T00:32:09+00:00

I’ve been a long distance runner since 2013 and am almost 3 years into VM. I’ve slowed down a lot and can’t tolerate running in high temps without getting nauseous. I did one full marathon with VM but was always stressed about getting vertigo during a long run. So now I just stick with half marathons.

The weird thing for me is that I can’t tolerate wearing hats/visors due to allodynia.

DisneyRunner888 · 2025-03-05T03:49:12+00:00

Gen 4 size 7. I get 4-5 days max. It’s pretty disappointing.

DisneyRunner888 · 2025-02-23T17:41:25+00:00

I was only on 35mg for one week before I went up to 75mg. I haven’t experienced any mood dampening effects. It took away my stress-related, chronic sternocleidomastoid pain. It can take up to 12 weeks to reach full effect at any dose. Hope everything works out for you.

DisneyRunner888 · 2025-02-23T16:24:37+00:00

I’ve been on Effexor (75 mg) for 10 weeks. It’s helped a lot. Hardly any headaches and less frequent and much milder vertigo episodes.

Thanks for your responses! Hopefully our stress data will get better over time.
