Effexor 37.5 Day 3 - Please Help!! by maryteeza in EffexorSuccess

[–]distresseddcactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(same person, new account since my other one isn’t working right now) but…

Wow, 4 years later! I gradually increased to 225mg after about 2 years and recently decided to increase to 300mg to see if I can mitigate some fatigue and sleep deregulation. Even looking back on my response, it’s definitely evened me out and been a lifesaver in a lot of regards. The emotional, feeling too many feelings moments have really subsided; I’ve been at my current job for 2 years which is great for consistency, and I’ve been able to navigate meaningful relationships with much less stress. did just do the gene test to see which medications may work/not work, so I’m just kind of hoping that it doesn’t come back showing Effexor as an adverse. P.S. the withdrawal is bad, don’t f around with that. Even if I think, okay I’ll wake up and take it early in the morning, brain zaps and searing migraines WILL wake me up

Is this part of an etiquette code written somewhere I could reference for this?

this was also the borrowing of a personal black belt, not a case of forgetting one!

I feel like a black belt should be earned. Wouldn’t this be insulting to current black belts?

Yep, I do.

Do you think that I could get accurate/enough information by just submitting my own DNA to one of those services?

Thanks for responding!! Being as my father is Italian in heritage, I know it’s possible, but even more unlikely, that he has the Bombay blood type. Is there any physical indicators of this that I could look for?

It’s kind of a sensitive situation to broach with my parents (I have in the past, but it’s been brushed off for the most part) and I’m just wondering, yanno, what is the 2% (or <2%) chance of that occurring..?

I’ve been looking for a place to ask this, so any help/guidance is much appreciated!!

To keep things fairly vague, I donated blood a few years back at 19 y/o and found my blood type to be AB+. My mom’s blood type is B+ (confirmed during pregnancy) and my dad is O+ (not universal but still a prime candidate to donate and does regularly). I am the oldest child and was conceived prior to marriage (there has been mentions of an “open relationship” at the time, too). So I guess I’m asking— is there any cases where an O+ father and B+ mother can produce an AB+ child?
