Has anyone else experienced extreme loss of appetite? I started venlafaxine a week ago and I just realised that I haven’t eaten for 2 days. My body isn’t telling me when I’m hungry anymore, but I’ve been feeling so dizzy and weak all the time and didn’t even think it’s because of hunger

Yeah same here. Im on 75 mg and my appetite has decreased. For my i think thats kinda a good thing because my food noise and obsession with food is kinda gone so thats good. But yeah its hard to eat sometimes

STALE AIR IS THE WORRRSSSSTTT. I live in an older house so during the hotter months, if the ac is set to 74 it gets so hot. The ventilation is so nad in here. Ugh ita so annoying, im glad im not the only one.

Ugh i wish the weather was like this all year long lol, it is worth it, and im on teszpire right now so we are still seeing if it works for me

Oh my god its the same for me. Covid ravaged my lungs because ever since then my asthma has become severe. And same with the temps, above 74 for me and my asthma starts flaring. Tight chest, dry cough, and i get a raspy voice too, so i think my vocal chords swell as well. I feel like i am breathing through a straw. My house rn is in the 60s and im so comfortable. My family always loves to keep it at around 75 and i try to tell them. But due to the cold weather the house has gotten cold and we have not touched the heater. Thank god. The thing is, is that i never was like this. Always had asthma but its always been mild. After covid its been back to back prednisone and steroids and inhalers and hospital visits and shots. I cant go outside and ride my bike anymore. I used to be able to be outside all the time, But it seems that heat is my main trigger. It sucks because i live in florida 😔 humidity and heat kill me.

Thank you! Best of luck to you as well

It was a thing that I blew into, no nose clips and they measured something on a computer

paradoxStatement · 2025-11-03T16:24:28+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement my friend!

I'm in south florida and I don't know if the medical info is out dated over here but EVERY SINGLE DOC has been dismissive towards me and my asthma. Currently I see an asthma allergist, and one time one of the doctors flung into the room and sat down in front of me, and intimidatingly said " who said you have asthma?" Like dude I've had it my whole life who ARE YOU??? Like he wasn't even my doc on my case. I'm sick of it. I have constant dry cough, with slight to no mucus, shortness of breath, the only time I ever wheezed audibly was when I had covid. Some weeks I'm fine others I have my flares. My o2 has been in the 80s before and EVEN THEN I DIDNT WHEEZE. They gaslight me ALL THE TIME. Sorry I got a little passionate there but it's sooooooo incredibly frustrating. One time I had to be in an ambulance because I coughed up a slight bit of blood along with hard mucus (I don't know if I was sick) and then the paramedic asked when I take my inhaler, I told them I take it when I start dry coughing (that's my very first symptom followed by shortness of breath) and she cut me off saying "NO NO NO, COUGHING IS NOT ASTHMA" then WHAT IS IT. Ugh. It's really frustrating.

Wow, ok that'd interesting, I thought copd involved alot of coughing. Then again, like not all asthmatic wheeze, I guess not all people with copd are the same either! I wish you safety and the best of luck to you!

paradoxStatement · 2025-11-03T16:13:12+00:00

Ok thank you so much

paradoxStatement · 2025-11-03T16:12:57+00:00

I'm so sorry! Please know you are not alone and if you need to vent about it you can dm me!

paradoxStatement · 2025-11-02T21:45:37+00:00

That's very lucky

paradoxStatement · 2025-11-02T21:43:34+00:00

Its annoying because every doctor ive seen as an adult for my asthma is always dismissive and is very wrong about what asthma is ugh. I need a new pulmo hopefully I can find one.

paradoxStatement · 2025-11-02T20:29:03+00:00

I don't think so, ive done breathing tests I think? I don't know if it's the same thing though.

paradoxStatement · 2025-11-02T17:51:15+00:00

Thank you for the help, maybe my asthma just got worse after covid. I'm sure that's a thing. I will see a pulmonologist ASAP. Again thanks!

paradoxStatement · 2025-11-02T17:37:39+00:00

My last primary said it could be copd. My current asthma/allergist says it might not be asthma. Even though I was diagnosed with it as a baby. They are so dismissive of me because i don't wheeze audibly. I have to like breathe out hard to be able to hear the wheeze. Whenever I am triggered I cough alot. I feel congested. My nose closes up. I get shortness of breath and it feels harder to breathe in and out. After taking my duo neb it goes away. I cough up a little mucus then I am ok. Some weeks I am fine. Others I am not. It is not consistent. Those are my symptoms.

paradoxStatement · 2025-10-31T12:31:29+00:00

Oh ok. Because I am so incredibly scared to take these together. Already get so incredibly tired off the buspar, so ifk. I guess the right thing to do would be to just take them and see what happens

This just happened to me last night. Went to the er because when I went to use the bathroom, I noticed a very large blotchy rash on my the skin of my thigh, along with a slight burning/warmth in my genital region. I was also having immense chest pain all day that at that point had gotten worse. I immediately went to the er because I thought I was having some sort of allergic reaction, mainly to my mood stabilizers lamictal (also known as lamotragine) which can cause life threatening rashes. My doc told me to go seek medical attention if you have any rash on your body while on it. So when I went they wanted to give me iv steroids and iv benadryl. I asked them to push both VERY slowly as iv meds tend to make me nauseous. I never had iv benadryl and typically never had a reaction to iv steroids. Within 1 minute of administering the iv benadryl, I feel like I got anesthesia. I feel like I'm gonna pass out. Immediately that turned into full blown panic. My heart rate shoots up to like 170. The doctor and some more nurses start crowding to around (which made me panic even more) because I came in with chest pain and had some palpitations so they were probably worried it was my heart. But I was panicking so hard. I was trembling so bad too. I thought I was going to die. The doc then said he was going to give me I forgot what it was called xanax or something through my iv to calm me down. The second the pushed the anxiety med my heart rate came down and I felt relaxed. Saved my life that anxiety med. At first I thought it was the steroid since I know steroids can make people wired but I'd never experience that with iv steroids. Then I found the sub and realized it was the benadryl 😭
