Did Effexor help you? I got it prescribed the other day

Heard Paxil is tough to get off of. Good luck man

I took it for a few months. Didn't help with my anxiety or depression at all. Might as well been not taking anything at all. I'm on Sertraline (Zoloft) now, and it seems to be working okay. Was on Fluoxetine (Prozac) for years. Had to increase the dose about yearly. Eventually needed to try something else.

I can confirm the withdrawal symptoms are severe. If you switch off it, make sure to do it slowly. I had stomach pains for weeks. Felt like having severe gas 24/7.

I take Effexor every day. Been on it for a year and I love it. No problem fucking at all.

Lamotrigine has no side effects... Kek. Leave the medfagging to the medfags. You are not one. Your comment should have simply been "I found lamotrigine very helpful and experienced no side effects." OP is probably on effexor for depression or anxiety, neither of which are treated with lamotrigine. He doesn't have bipolar like you or he wouldn't have been given an SNRI.

Effexor is an SNRI not an SSRI, they are similar but not the same. Leave the medfagging to the medfags or you will make small technical mistakes like this one.

I wish I had never taken Effexor. I was on it for a year and a half. Getting off it was tough as it felt like small electronic shocks in your brain. I am still depressed as fuck but at least I can control my emotions. I lost my girlfriend and my job and then a month later my best friend died and I quit taking all the drugs I had been prescribed and just did what everyone expects you to do and man up. You just have to smile. It sounds stupid but you have to make yourself smile as much as possible. Your mood will shift towards it. Put on a show for everyone because no one loves you when your down and out. Just dont take the drugs. Fake it till you make it and then keep faking it. Shit works. If you do really need to take somthing I would recommend wellbutrin it just makes you numb and also helps quit smoking.

Unfortunately, most similar drugs will also damper your libido. I started taking SSRIs a while ago, and had problems with delayed ejaculation. Could not climax even after abstaining for a week. Started using some butt toys, and that helped tremendously. Anything that can stimulate your prostate can probably help if you run into the same issue.

Please don't give medical advice, you are not a medfag. Leave the medfagging to the medfags. You just up and recommended wellbutrin to someone without knowing if they have an anxiety component to their mood problems, without asking if OP has ever had seizures, without asking if he has ever had issues with eating.

There are valid things in what you said and I am glad you are doing ok without meds, but you are not OP. There are people who straight up need meds and cannot "man" their way out of it.

You assume what I have? Assume what he has? Medfag? I think you’re just a fag. Just because the fda doesn’t approve a drug to treat something, doesn’t mean shit. This is a very cheap pill, and the pill slanging industry is a fucking scam. You are a scrub, and you think you know what the fuck you are talking about, but all you are doing is repeating what a crooked ass industry tells you. Fuck off.

Actually I am a medfag. Some of the information I consume comes from industry sponsored studies, a lot of it does not. I am aware of the limitations of FDA approval. Lamotrigine was not always cheap, it was once patented. If the company could have made a case for the use of lamotrigine in major depression or generalized anxiety, they would have done so. Yeah, I assumed you have bipolar. Am I wrong? That is what the vast, vast majority of lamotrigine is used for.

Nah, instead of fucking off I will just actually see patients and make these decisions instead of you.

Lmao. Stay brainwashed kiddo.

>but at least I can control my emotions.
Why the fuck would u want to do that? So many fucking morons here

Effexor makes the lack of motivation from depression slightly go away but it makes me sweat more and more shaky. I suggest you try to get some xanax and valium perscribed along with that. Perfect balance. As for libido, I do get hornier when im not on it but i can still get hard

I know you are a higherprimate with meds, I started as a ginny pig at UCLA for medicines that are very popular today that have been the cause of great harm to many people. I witnessed first hand them getting approved and sold. I’ve seen the worst people and the best in the world when it comes to this. I’ve been on more pills I can even remember about, and some I will never know the names of. Lamictol cured my anxiety, my rage, my heavy bi polar- and my 2 week on and off pure manic cycles. I’ve recommend this drug to people with various issues, because I consider it a vitamin. Call me tin foil, but this pill is being suppressed in the industry. Maybe because 5 bucks gets me 100 pills? From my side, it is hard to trust anyone who actually has an education about this, because you all are indoctrinated in ways I am not. I mean no offense by this. You read what you see, I’ve lived what I see- and this is not anecdotal by any means. I’m not suppose to be alive right now, and I will be spreading the miracles of this pill to anyone regardless of what they have- because truly whatever they are on as an alternative is fucking then up tenfold.

If you're still here:

I took effexor for like, 5 years. It worked for me but I think it broke my wiener. It's hard for me to get an erection sometimes and other times I'll lose it in the middle of sex. Beating off works 99% of the time though, so there's that. I've been off it for a little over a year now but I'm still feeling the side effects. That being said, I feel like it really helped me in the long term. I took it for "anxiety", but what it really was for was to keep my ass from getting so pissed I'd yell and scream at my family. I feel like it helped keep me calm long enough that I could process through situations better and not fly off the handle, the same thing I do now that I'm off it.

Also, tits.

Been on effexor for about 7 months now. It took the edge of my depression and took away the worse of it. In my own experience the side-effects aren't noticeably worse to other more conventional SSRI'S. As the others have mentioned severe withdrawals but if you take it on time it should be fine. I would say an overall positive experience. Obviously as with all of these the effects kick in after a couple of months. GL OP

What is a higherprimate with meds? I assume your post is directed at me, the medfag, even though it appears to be directed to a deleted post.

Lamictal is not a vitamin. Stevens Johnson syndrome is not a joke. It is a great drug for certain things. You can run around recommending it to people all you want, but that doesn't mean you know what you are talking about. Your "lived experience" is not equal to a high-quality medfag education.

I am glad lamictal helped you and that you are doing relatively well. It is not being suppressed by anyone; the closest thing to that that is happening is that new drugs are being aggressively pushed by the companies because they are expensive. This is a common misconception. You think that because pharma companies are pressing on us to use vilazidone that they must also be pressing on us to not use lamictal. That is not how it works.

So wait, when I guess you were given lamictal for bipolar, you said "oh yeah you gunna assume what I had? I think you are just a fag." Then you go and say "it cured my heavy bipolar." That kind of makes you a pathetic little bitch, you realize that right?

You're all stupid. Research ayurvedic medicine. Herbs cure all!

Oh yeah, forgot about getting off it without my doctor. If I stopped cold Turkey, my head was straight fucked. Like I was drunk without the drinking. I would turn my head and everything would spin for what felt like forever. I tried that for a week, no dice. I ended up cutting the pills in half and weaning myself off it. There were still withdrawls, but not nearly as bad or as long.

More tits.

You’re a fag

You're right. Sorry about that.
I'm sure OP would have asked his doctor about wellbutrin and not just got it from a trap house...

You know what is funny is if you told your doctor you wanted to stop the effexor and you were sure, he or she would have told you "ok bud, but you have to taper off of it because if you stop cold turkey bad shit will happen."

Fucking patients man.

Glad you are doing better Yea Forumsro, and thanks for the tits.

PS: If you have been off of it for a year, you should not still be having erectile dysfunction from it. Are you overweight? Do you drink every night? Have hypertension? Diabetes? Get nervous with a new girl the first few times?

Congratulations, you just acknowledged that someone else was right on the internet. This makes you a 1/10k mind. All people are unique, but some are more unique than others... and you are one of those.

Have an awesome night Yea Forumsro, you deserve it.

Yeah man, I know. I knew what the doctor was going to tell me so I just saved myself and her the time. I'm fat but don't have any underlying medical issues I'm aware of. I've been with the new girl the past year, she helped me get off the shit. She's not the best lay I've ever had so it's possible that's an issue too. I dunno, I'm probably just retarded. I mean, I'm here with you guys.

More tits.

Could be that she isn't the best lay, could be something else. Do you still get morning erections or are those gone too? If those are gone too than it is something physical. If you wake up with wood but have trouble performing with her, it is psych or you just aren't into her.

It's hit or miss in the mornings. It's never super hard but sometimes it's sorta there. It's probably more psychological than physical, but sometimes I have issues jerking off too. It's pretty rare bit sometimes it just doesn't work.

been taking it for 2.5 years and it has in no way ever affected me negatively. I didnt feel the effects of it until I got up to 225 mg but since then I feel no different except that it does suppress my ability to overreact to anxiety and have depressive ideation

What about my other questions? Are you drinking alot or overweight? How old are you?

also I've never experienced prolonged ED. I had it when I first started having sex with my girlfriend almost 2 years ago but that cleared up once we got comfortable with each other

I am 23, overweight and dont drink much

most people who take meds really do not need to be on them

Oh boy
Effexor
Let me guess. Your doc didn't mention anything about what it's going to be like to get off it.
Enjoy the lightheadedness, brainzaps, headaches, and vomiting

that happens if you just stop completely

The doctor knows how to taper someone off of an SNRI my dood.

this is retarded

I tried effexor around 2005 when I was in college. It made me space out bad. Like I would go to class sit down and suddenly class would be over and I'd have no recollection of anything because I'd be deep in thought or daydreaming. Never felt bad from it but never really felt good.

I take zoloft, wellbutrin, buspar, klonopin and clonidine to manage myself and while it's a lot to take I find myself much better off on this combination. Way better than not being on it that's for certain.

Make a list of all the side effects you have on it and tell your doctor you would like to try something else do to your side effects. It may take awhile, I tried quite a few when I first started but eventually zoloft worked great for me and my doctor and I added on from there.

I wish you the best of luck user. Oh and the whole dick being dead thing will go away eventually. You'll be able to get hard but not be able to finish

Overweight could be the issue here. The fact that your morning wood is not raging at 23 indicates a mild underlying physical issue. If you lost weight you would get more erections and probably have more testosterone.

Are you not exercising? Even if you didn't lose weight, upping your activity level would strengthen the wood.

Exercise my Yea Forumsro, you have been through a lot and this medfag wants you to be able to cut diamonds with the rest of your 20's.

Effexor is the worst drug on the market, I took it for 8 years and it did nothing for me. I told my psych and they just upped my dose to 325mg daily and it still did nothing. It took months to get off it, the withdrawal symptoms are terrible.

I had to taper off of 150mg effexor by 1/2 mg a day
Otherwise I got constant brain zaps
I had to take the little capsule apart and take our individual little beads of medicine and weight it on a scale.
Even then it still fucked me up.
S

I was on it for years, gained weight and couldn't lose it, had no sex drive, high blood pressure and felt like a zombie. On something else now for a couple years INSTEAD, because my Dr even said Effexor / generic brand is not good. I dropped the weight, more energy, normal blood pressure, feel great and have a sex drive. Get off Effexor or it's generic NOW before the side effects kick in.

Bigger nigger alpha males dominate beta bitch white boys in any sexual display of dominance.
