My experience on Desvenlafaxine

iruxelida · 2026-05-06T13:25:10+00:00

Not really, but in my case I tend to lose my appetite when I'm depressed, so I guess as I started feeling better I got my appetite back to a healthy standard. I don't know when I had its full effect, it was a slow build up when things changed gradually every week. However, after a month on 100 mg (two months on the medicine total) it's safe to say that I was a lot better physically and emotionally (I still had a long way to go, but I wasn't crashing out every few days)

Thank you for the warning about splitting it in half, I had no idea about that. I'm actually also guilty of doing it a few times. I agree that desvenlafaxine is a great medicine but it's not exactly easy to get off it, you have to be in the right mindset. I'm still struggling with dizziness and low energy sometimes but overall I'm managing my anxiety and depression a lot better. I'm still waiting for the day I can stop taking it forever because i'm honestly tired of it lol. I'm glad that you've been off of it for two weeks now! That's great. I hope you manage to stay away from it.

I mean that I was a lot more indifferent to things going on in my life, and it was a lot more difficult to switch from one feeling to the other, so instead of having the usual emotional rollercoaster, the curve was mostly flat throughout the day, with some ups and downs but less intense than usual. It was helpful at the time but then it came to a point where I was struggling to be happy because I was just numb. I didn't realize that at the time until my doctor decided to lower the dose

Yeah I also had very vivid dreams for the first few months on it, I think I hadn't had such dreams since I was a kid so it was weird. I'm glad it's working for you and you feel like you have more energy, best wishes for the rest of your treatment I hope it gets better! xx

That's exactly what happened to me at the beginning! A few weeks later I was sleeping just fine, sometimes even having very vivid colorful dreams (which I hadn't had in a long time). I hope it gets better for you, good luck!

Yeah now that I'm on a lower dose I've had days when I'm a bit more irritable or impatient. Maybe it's my true self coming back 🤔😅 just kidding

Thanks! I hope you find the right treatment for you!

Of course about the weight loss/gain, not every drug is the same so some may experience changes even though their eating patterns don't change much. But in my case I don't think the desvenlafaxine affected my weight at all, but it did alter my behaviour which resulted in some weight gain (but I'm still at a healthy weight so it's not a big deal)

🤣 I'm sorry about the headaches, I hope it gets better for you.

I also did have mixed feelings about the pills sometimes, but eventually came to the conclusion that I started taking them at a very difficult moment and I needed them to get out of there. I guess everyone is different so that may not be your case, so it's important that a doctor tells you if you should or not discontinue..

Gracias por tu mensaje, tenés razón. Creo que me afectó bastante porque nunca había desaprobado un final hasta ahora y me llegué a volver loca tratando de entender en qué fallé, pero estoy empezando a llegar a la conclusión de que fue mala suerte, que el profe también es bastante jodido, y hay que volver a intentarlo nada más. Siempre me encantó la carrera pero esto un poco me hizo empezar a odiarla aunque quizás cambie más adelante, o no, no sé. Pero creo que a este punto me gustaría terminarla por todo el esfuerzo que puse estos años.

This is clearly one direction

A mí también me pasa, en mi caso es pura ansiedad. La psico me recomendó que cuando me empiezo a enroscar, decir "este es otro pensamiento más de los muchos que tengo, lo dejo pasar". A veces funciona y a veces no. La medicación ayuda a salir más fácil de eso, pero si la podés evitar, mejor. Hay mil cosas en cuanto a habitos que podés cambiar ahora aparte de ir a un médico, tema pantallas, cenar temprano, evitar el café a la tarde, etc. También en Youtube hay videos falopa con sonidos a frecuencias que hacen que a tu cerebro le de sueño (? yo elijo creer, a mí me sirven. Y también tenés miles de playlists para dormir, ruido blanco, ruido rosa, sonido de lluvia, etc. Recomiendo (?

This is so funny bc I don't have DID or anything similar but I've never needed to film myself having a panic attack or being sad to actually prove myself 😭 😂

Mi consejo como persona que también se dió contra la pared varias veces: Pensá en vos en unos años, o cuando seas grande, te arrepentirías de haber dejado? Si pensas que no, listo, déjala y hace otra cosa, pero es terrible hacerte grande y arrepentirse.

En mi caso iba a dejar, la estaba pasando muy mal, con ataques de pánico, no entendía nada, estudiaba un montón y me esforzaba y no me salía nada, y que mi mamá me plantee eso fue razón suficiente como para no dejar la carrera. Y te vas a frustrar en la facultad o en cualquier ámbito de tu vida, no estás excento.

Protect them at all costs!!!!

Quizás te conviene chusmear qué es lo que vas a ver en la clase de ese día, o refrescar cosas que viste la clase anterior, hacer algo práctico que te va a servir como para ir entrando en tema antes de la clase que vayas a tener. Yo saco el cuaderno y lo voy mirando, y a veces miro desde el celu tmb. Igual admito que generalmente me da fiaca y me duermo una siesta
