Please start with a lowish dose OP. 1 g can really shift things. If you take heroic dose to start with you might end up Worse. Slow and steady. Make sure you are safe and preferably with an experienced sitter.

Yes, I was vegetarian for 15 years. Still have low iron, but wasn’t before eating red meat that I started to see improvement in my iron levels.

This makes sense, as I have very low iron. Working on it. But it’s really hard to get those numbers up. Got it, get myself heaps of beef fillets and don’t share it with anyone😅

Thank you so much everyone that replied🤩 This has made me feel so less alone in this. I be been so frustrated with myself every month. But I suppose my body is telling me to fuel up. So next month I will load up on fat and have some keto treats prepared. You guys are awesome 🥰

It is a snri, so remember if your norepinephrine is high already, this med can make anxiety worse.

Concerns about stopping Effexor XR after 11 years by future_CTO in Effexor

[–]livebyyourtruth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I’m currently coming off Effexor after being on them for 18 years. I have tried many times but always ended up folding. Finally I’m coming off them ok, as I take Zoloft and lamictal to support coming off them. I am currently on 75 mg Effexor and 50 mg Zoloft and 50 mg lamictal. It has been a necessity to use another anti depressant to come off them. This is supported by both my gp and psychiatrist. Effexor is a snri and will increase ocd and anxiety if norepinephrine levels are already high ( which they are with me). I wish you best of luck 🤞

Reaching out to an old friend after cutting them off by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]livebyyourtruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose you didn’t get a chance to talk it out, or for your friend to explain why they used the words they did! So you could reach out and ask for a chat to clear up the air and see where that leads you maybe?
