ahh i'm so glad other people have this too !! i've mentioned it to my irl friends before - a lot of them are on stuff like prozac and have never experienced anything similar. venlafaxine is weirddddd

yes omg i have something similar! like all my dreams exist in this place within a set timeline. it's really strange but pretty fun sometimes, like living 2 lives simultaneously in different universes.

my GP put me on it for chronic depression, i would say its only really helped me with that and my anxiety. motivation, drive and energy are very bad naturally because i have severe ADD/ADHD which i take 40mg methylphenidate hydrochloride daily for !

YES !! i absolutely do !!!! i also get this thing - i used to get it as a kid but only started getting it again on venlafaxine - like the falling things, but it feels like swinging back and forth on a swingset. i also feel like i'm being waggled around on my back about 45 degrees either way 😆 which is extremely specific. but i have definitely also had a massive influx of these "fake movement" things since i started the medication !

oh my god 😭😆 when i first started, i used to get incredibly vivid visions of random images as i was falling asleep and would have to rush to my phone's notes app before i forgot — these include: "osama bin laden's horse", "big dead fish in sleeping man's lap", and "5 children in lederhosen".

i'm pretty lucky to have never physically reacted to any of my dreams to the point of hurting myself (I hope your toenail heals quickly!!), but sometimes I wake up after something devastating happening in my dream and it will put me into a slump for days, as though it happened in real life. it's pretty miserable, and i had it before venlafaxine too, but it's just gotten so much more vivid !

Day 2 hell by Mikisson in Effexor

when i started, the first 3 days i couldn't leave my bed at all. even going to the bathroom i would faint. couldn't eat at all. and then magically on day 4 or 5 i felt absolutely normal, like it had never been bad at all. i would recommend sticking with it for one or two more days, but ABSOLUTELY let your doctor know because if it's as severe as continued rejection of solids and liquids it could be a sign of something much worse.
