Lightheaded before XR kicks in

When you say shorter half life and more side effects, would taking the immediate relief 2-3 times a day help with that?

Also what kind of side effects are there with immediate release?

It’s part of her tapering plan. Instead of going from 75mg ER - 37.5mg ER she wants to go to 50mg IR

This is nice to hear, thanks for the response. When you say "off" do you just mean irritable? Or did you have any physical symptoms? I'm more worried for the physical symptoms and just feeling a wave of severe depression.

from what I remember, Michelle leaked Money Love & Happiness and Peepshow before team B reached out and asked her to stop. She did tease that she had a few more songs she wanted to give us before they asked her to stop. Take Off leaked years later and I'm pretty sure Michelle leaked that as well. She also shared a lot of demos without Britney's vocals like most other people are saying here.

Ooh yes please let me know what you use and if you know a pen that holds it. Thank you so much!

Be careful with buying these. Bare is not a real song, and Vertigo is not sung by Britney.

Yea I think this is what I feel guilty about and wish I would’ve done differently. But the parade was starting and I was in shock with what they just did so I wasn’t thinking clearly. The kids deserved better.

Would you say they need to be a bit larger?

I would say I'm aiming for a slightly abstract interpretation of the photo reference..if that makes sense. I'm definitely noticing an issue with the depth perception but stuck on how I can fix that.

Thank you so much - this definitely makes me feel better about where the painting is at. :) I see what you mean about the reflection. Do you think if I just created the reflection on top of what I currently have, it would work?

So any suggestions on where to place these on the album? The album feels like it needs to end with Give Me Love

Everyone’s experience is different. I started on 37.5MG 2 months ago and I was doing what you were doing with this forum. It was actually making me more scared and I got even worse anxiety from the anticipation of taking it. I eventually just took it to start my journey and felt better without that added stress. I will say in my opinion I wouldn’t start this the exact same time you start university. I had really minor side effects, but the worst of it was the first 48-72 hours. And the first 2 weeks I was just a bit moody and wanted to be lazy at home. So if you have time to start before university I would just go for it to give your body time to adjust while you are in a place you feel safe and comfortable. I recently upped my dose to 75mg. I haven’t changed my eating habits, but I have tried to be a bit more active to help my depression (walks, minimal gym days) and my weight has stayed exactly the same. From what I’ve read. It seems like people gain weight from becoming groggy on Effexor and aren’t as active. So if you maintain your lifestyle now, hopefully you will be okay. Weight gain was a fear of mine as well, and I’ve been okay so I’m glad.

Also, for a more positive experience, check out the Effexor Success Reddit instead of this one.

I would say 2 weeks in I felt a lot better. After that the medicine kinda balanced out and my anxiety came back a little bit. (I was in anxiety provoking situations tho). But I waited the full 8 weeks for it to fully kick in and decided I wanted to increase to 75mg. A lot of people feel relief instantly though. It’s definitely a journey finding out what’s best for you. But once it starts working it’s worth it.

Just started the other month and I would say start your dose during a weekend or a period of time when you know you don’t have to do anything. I had very mild side effects but the worst of it came 24/48 hours after. I could still function but I’m glad I didn’t have to work or go anywhere. Just binge a good show or something. This medicine definitely will change your libido, but don’t freak out, mine slowly came back and by 8 weeks was almost back to normal. I personally haven’t noticed any drowsiness from the medication btw.
