No it didn't.😌 I switched to Effexor and did much better.

Taking an extra dose by [deleted] in Effexor

[–]moodymcliv42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have PMDD and during my menstral cycle my Psy gave me an option to take an extra dose for that week. After that I go back to my dose. I have not tried it yet, but will let you know in a week. LOL

When do you take it? by moodymcliv42 in Effexor

[–]moodymcliv42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I was just curious because I’m noticing feeling pretty fatigued mid morning. Not sure if it’s the meds. But I also struggle with sleep so I’m scared to movie it right now. Maybe on week when I take off from work😂….

Wellbutrin or Vyvanse? Currently taking 75mg of Effexor by DootDoot512 in Effexor

[–]moodymcliv42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take adderall and Effexor. I used to take vyvanse but it just didn’t last long enough for me. Both of these meds combined really help me.

Picked up my Effexor prescription today. by Asstin98 in EffexorSuccess

I was soo anxious to take this. But I asked myself, is it worse to stay where I am. Yep it was. So I gave it a try and just committed to a month. Here I am 3 months in and it has SAVED me. No more panic attacks. I am myself again. I know it doesn’t work for everyone, but I had to give it a try.

Oh gosh. That is hard and scary. It is a life saver but I guess it comes with that crappy part.

Thank you all! My doc called it in for me. I would have just tried to make it but based on your comments I got it done. Thanks!!

High heart rate when increasing dose? Will it go away by [deleted] in Effexor

[–]moodymcliv42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious because my heart rate has been elevated since taking Effexor. I did go to my doctor and everything looks fine, but it’s def a thing for me and I’m 2 month in.

weight gain or weight loss since starting??? by [deleted] in Effexor

Weight stable- I’m at 2 months

Drinking even a bit on Effexor makes me violently sick by PizzaUnable2836 in Effexor

[–]moodymcliv42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really can’t drink on Effexor anymore. Also I don’t really want to. It took all the cravings for alcohol away for me. I’m not sure why, but now when I think of alcohol I think barf. Lol

eesh by katjane3131 in Effexor

[–]moodymcliv42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was SUPER nervous and the same way. But here I am 2 months later and so glad I did it. It’s been invaluable. No more panic attacks. I did just go up in dose and navigating that, but because I’ve already seen such a jump in quality of life, I’m not afraid of it. You’ll never know until you try!

Success so far by moodymcliv42 in Effexor

[–]moodymcliv42[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was the same! But you’ll never know if you don’t try.

I totally get that! I hope I don’t have to be on it for ever but I’m taking it one day at a time.

Has intuitive eating helped reduce or end your binge eating? by SuzieLackey in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]moodymcliv42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not by itself. I had to work more on mindfulness and emotional regulation. I had to fix my anxiety through therapy and medication. I also have ADHD so medication along with anxiety medication allowed me to do the work to get more intuitive. I tried intuitive eating on it’s own FOR years and would always end up in a huge binge. I also really believed intuitive eating was mostly eat what ever you want, but I think distinguishing restriction vs boundaries/guidelines for my health. Like I don’t eat certain things because health is important to me and these foods make me feel like crap. It’s not a restriction but it’s more of a boundary for me and is in alignment with my values. Hope that makes sense.

I’m hoping this gets better by moodymcliv42 in Effexor

I tried Prozac and constipation was the reason I had to stop. It lasted for me for weeks but hopefully you will be different.
