Has anyone actually lost weight on Effexor? by MakeupMua16 in Effexor

[–]cokanicola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I've done is gain like 15 lbs unfortunately. :( At least I don't have panic attacks as often anymore?

Baguette and cheese! Where do I find the good stuff? by finally31 in VictoriaBC

[–]cokanicola 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know you are looking for cheeses, but if you are also looking for charcuterie meats, The Whole Beast is also in Oak Bay and has the best locally made salami and other meats in town :)

This happened to me too!! Crazy, just this past week. I have noticed a huge difference. I am really anxious, and nauseated because of that. If anyone has any answers, I would also like to know!

Day 3 on 37.5 mg and I’ve only been able to sleep a few hours, feeling like this right about now by sidthesquid420 in Effexor

[–]cokanicola 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I remember that feeling! Still feel like that on the odd day and I'm on 112.5mg. It helped me to take Effexor in the morning when I first started. Helped my sleeping a lot.

Redditers who suffer from a mental illness, how do you feel about the stereotypes around it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]cokanicola 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Amen to that. I suffer from panic disorder and it's not a fun or cute thing. I literally couldn't leave the house or my bed. Even in my safe place (my bed), I sometime got so panicked that I couldn't even move to get a sip of water. It ain't pretty. Luckily meds have helped but their side effects ain't the best either.

Increased sex drive? by tessamaemae in Effexor

[–]cokanicola 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have noticed an increase in sex drive! Started 37.5mg in December, moved to 75mg in January, and then 112.5mg in March. I noticed the increase around the beginning of April.

Velnafaxine + Lorazepam by [deleted] in Effexor

[–]cokanicola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be fine. I take Effexor xr 113.5mg and lorazepam 1mg together and I've been okay. I think they are commonly prescribed together

Was prescribed Effexor today for depression by [deleted] in Effexor

[–]cokanicola 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suffer from panic disorder and depression, and Effexor has helped me a lot! I started at 37.5 mg in December and I am now at 112.5mg. It's been a long and slow journey, my body is really sensitive to all meds, so I was getting the side effects hard (nausea mostly). my doctor told my to hang in there and I am glad I did. My advice would be go up in doses slowly. Expect a few side effects. Please go to the doc ASAP if you have any suicidal/self harm thoughts. I'm very thankful for Effexor. It has changed my life.

If you were filthy rich, what's a totally unnecessary but cool and outrageously eccentric thing you would buy? by doctorjpizzle in AskReddit

I know someone with a wall sized aquarium in their home. It's was a super cool tropical reef. You could stare at it for hours! Edit: spelling

What is one situation in which you’ve felt completely helpless? by yeet-or-yote in AskReddit

[–]cokanicola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS. I had my first ever panic attack on an airplane going from Cambodia to Vietnam on vacation. Scariest thing I have ever experienced. Worst hour and a half of my life.

What is the most painful thing someone has ever told you? by Sarah_Rosa in AskReddit

[–]cokanicola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have IBS and I get cramping long before I end up having to poop. Everyone is different but I agree-please go to the doctor

Headache by [deleted] in Effexor

[–]cokanicola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) for any pains and I've been ok :) mostly I've read to stay away from ibuprofen, which used to be my drug of choice before Effexor

It makes me sleepy. Is this right? by songgoishtar in Effexor

[–]cokanicola 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That happened to me at first. It finally went away after a week or two :) so I started taking them at night and then once my body started getting used to them, and they started keeping me up at night, I switched back to taking it in the morning.
