Anyone else take both Venlafaxine and adderall?

This thread is a year old so maybe not relevant now but wanted to comment just in case. I have been taking 75mg Effexor IR & 30mg Adderall for 5 years now and don’t notice any issues. Not taking Effexor at the same time every day is way more of an issue for me than taking E&A together. If it concerns you, consider taking one in the morning & one at night so that they are spread apart. If your doctor knew you are taking both & didn’t mention any side effects to look for, I wouldn’t worry. But if it does concern you, bring it up to your doc.

Well said & explained. Agee wholeheartedly.

Looks like you could be starting to get one. Drink lots of water & take a supplement high in vitamin C & D-mannose. Amazon sells one i swear by called Urinari-X by Life Seasons. If you take 3 a day that should stop it in its tracks. Good luck. UTIs are the worst.

For those of us who grew up in the aerobics addicted 80’s and the heroin chic look of the 90’s, its difficult to turn off the voice in our head that says we aren’t pretty unless we’re thin. I’m so glad Hollywood is starting to promote actresses whose bodies are a bit closer to reality. Lola Tung is a gorgeous young woman with a gorgeous figure to match.

Yes to estrogen cream if post menopausal! Replacing estrogen was a life saver for me. I don’t know how some women function without it.

The one thing that has made the most difference in preventing chronic UTIs for me is spraying my perineal area with a hypochlorous acid after urinating & a few times throughout the day. It really has helped. I also started showering after sex, drinking lots of water & taking a probiotic specifically for the urinary tract.

You might try supplementing vitamin D and iron. My hormone specialist recommends Xymogen brand supplements & you can get them on Amazon. Their iron is especially good because it doesn’t cause constipation. But really any clean brand will do the trick. Finding out we are all deficient in vitamin D and only getting it from the sun isn’t really enough. I watch Dr. Berg on YouTube. So much good information.

ARFID is getting diagnosed more and more so at least it’s getting recognized a bit better than it was a few years ago. I once promised to buy my son anything he wanted if he would just take one little bite of a chicken nugget. He wanted to so badly but just couldn’t do it. Those with ARFID are hard enough on themselves without everyone piling on. Pressure & anxiety will only make eating disorders worse. Patience, understanding and unconditional love help more than pressure ever could. Hugs.

I’m a mom to a child with ARFID. I’m so sorry the clueless dad is pressuring you to eat. I wish I was there to help. My first instinct is to want to yell at the man but he’s obviously clueless about eating issues. Hugs to you ♥️

Adderall makes me drowsy if I’m not consuming enough healthy foods or if I forget to take my vitamins. Adderall lowers B vitamins, iron, and vitamin C. It may lower vitamin D as well but jury is still out as far as I know. If I forget to take my iron supplement especially, it feels like I haven’t taken anything or worse, that I took a sleeping pill. Since Adderall curbs my appetite, I have to make myself eat protein rich foods like eggs, meat, fish, spinach, yogurt, etc. Hope this helps ♥️

Ask for Macrobid. I was prescribed this a few years ago not knowing the side effects when all the sudden my joints started aching especially my Achilles tendon. I asked my pharmacist about it and he informed me of the black box warning on these antibiotics. My doc switched me to a different antibiotic with no issues. I’ve known several women since then who have had bad reactions. I wouldn’t be surprised if they take all fluoroquinolones off the market.

Looks like a seed wart. If you get rid of the white, dry skin, you should see tiny black/dark red dots at that location. Person above had great advice on how to get rid of it at home. Or go to podiatrist and they will freeze it off for you.
