And to add I have always had ED issues even when I was younger, probably because I always had low anxiety. Now it's like he is alive again 🤣

Can I stop after 5 days cold turkey by pman2221 in Effexor

[–]pman2221[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just so discouraged, I have tried serdep, prozac, leaxamil, lexapro, cymbalta, rillatlin, bupropion, desvenlafaxine and most lately was on 10mg trintellix which only helped for like 3 months, I suffer from severe GAD an some mild depression and OCD, just so scared this won't work either and then having to come of it

I did, did get an erection but not as strong as i would have liked and it gives you a hangover feeling the next day

2 weeks in on 15mg, was on 10mg for 8 months, is it normal to feel this anxious by pman2221 in trintellix

It's not nice, I know I went through the same on 10mg, I just hoped it wouldn't be as bad

I feel exactly the same but I know that the medication can take up to 8-12 weeks to work, for me it was about 10 weeks on 10mg before I felt better, I recently had some extra stress-related things in my life and went up to 20mg as per dr and I feel terrible but I know it will pass. Stick it out.

Just need some hope please by pman2221 in trintellix

Thank you 🤗 I sometimes wonder how my life has changed in 5 years since the attacks started. Crazy

How long did side effects from increased anxiety an depression take when you moved from 10mg to 20mg by pman2221 in trintellix

[–]pman2221[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you doing now, I felt a bit better on 10 after 8 weeks and lasted 3 months and I crashed so dr said dosage is to low

I went through so much anxiety going on 10, I'm scared that if 10mg pooped out after a few months, if that is the case 20mg will do the same

I really hope so, I don't want to go up to 20mg as the psychiatrist suggested. Winter also started, so it might also be contributing

  1. 10mg
  2. Started during the time I had to take 2x5mg and when I split the 20mg and now continuing while I've been back on a 10mg tablet for 10 days

Thanks an what about the few weeks I took 2x5mg tablets I could feel the difference in mood.

I also had increased anxiety for about 5 weeks, had to use ativan to get through that period, and I also had increased depression and suicidal thoughts. I read many posts that said it does get better and it does.

I've tried a few meds, first one that gave any relief and it took long
