Thank you for your comment😄 it’s hard to say about any sexual side effects because my doctor also found out that I was suffering from low testosterone syndrome based on my blood test at the same time. And I have gotten different treatments for both ever since then. There is a high possibility that I have been suffering from sexual side effects by Effexfor cuz I can feel sexual a little bit more time to time compared to last year as I have lowered the dose of it even though my testosterone has been still low. I hope this information helps you somehow. Plz take care of yourself 🙏
I do not have depression, but I sometimes have trouble sleeping the whole night. I have been taking an over-the-counter treatment called “RESTAVIT” for 20 years. I only take it very occasionally and I can only take one quarter of a tablet, otherwise I will be drowsy the next day. It works well for me.
Thank you for your comment and sharing your experience 😄 yeah I have been there. And it’s not for everyone. It’s good that you realized that it’s not for you and stopped it. I hope that you will find suitable ways to deal with your situation cuz it’s hard. Plz take a good care of yourself 🙏
I'm a software engineer for a large social media company, I try to put things into words and I feel like I lose the social tact to do so. Listening to your internal thoughts, verbalized, had brought me to a real understanding that I am not alone. I'm 30 years old now, I witnessed my best friends exiting. It's something that I struggle with every day.
Thank you for your comment😄 it’s never easy to go through this kind of experiences, and not sure if anyone can find true peace with it or not. But you are not alone like I’m not alone. Plz be kind to yourself and take a good care of yourself. By doing so, you might find your path to what you are looking for…like I feel that I am getting closer to something by doing so.
Hi Yasu Wonderful content!!!! Living with generalized anxiety is horrible to live with. Very hard. How are you felling? Have you ever been to the United States? Take care be well
Thank you for your comment😄 I feel you. More or less I feel ok but it’s hard to maintain the ok state cuz a lot of things happen in life. Yes, I have but it’s been around 10 years since the last time I visited there though. Plz take care of yourself too 🙏
Hello they just increased my dose to 150 mg one week ago and I feel that my anxiety has gone a bit higher is that part of the side effetc? After how many weeks did you notice a difference in mood and anxiety when you increased to 150? Can you please tell me if we can have a conversation in private about that.
Hi Yasu Thanks for another great video! Does it take you time to fall asleep at night? Do you still take sleep medication? I hope you are feeling good and getting rest. Still working on my insomnia after 5 years. Im taking medication but im ok with it now, I feel medication can really help for some people. Be well!!!
@@5second10 hello they increased my dose to 150g but I feel like my anxiety went a bit high they said it is side effects. After how many weeks did you notice a difference in terms of anxiety and mood when taking 150?
Thank you for your comment😄 it’s probably 3 weeks after I started taking 150mg. But definitely before 187.5mg cuz I remember that I was mainly discussing about my energy level with my doctor by then. I’m not sure if it is the side effect or not. But plz go to see your doctor soon to discuss it cuz you seem to feel uncomfortable with the higher does. I hope that you will get better soon. Plz take care 🙏
Thank you for your comment😄 it was around 3 weeks after I started taking 150mg but definitely not before 187.5mg cuz I was mainly discuss about my energy level with my doctor by then. The reason why I increased the dose to 225mg was due to my energy level. It didn’t come back to me until I started taking 225mg. One thing to address here is that our bodies would respond to the medication differently. So plz consult your doctor if you feel uncomfortable. I really hope that you will get better soon 🙏
Hello my friend, I hope you are well. Ive been suffering from insomnia for 5 years. Im constantly exhausted. I have tried many prescription sleeping medications, nothing has really worked. Its very depressing living with this horrible condition. I wish you peace and rest!!! Im still trying to find something that works. Your videos are excellent Peace!
Thank you for your comment😄 I’m sorry to hear what you have been going through. I was there and so hard to live with sleep issues. So I really hope that you will find something that works for you soon. Plz take a good care of yourself 🙏
Sorry t0 hear your situation but anyone who suffer form insomnia and using pills is life sentence to pills like myself, and they don't work anymore because tolerance after 20 year of being on them. It sucks but increasing the dosage of ambien doesn't work only thing that helps me knock out is booze which i do not recommend. Booze is one son of a gun that will knock you out for sleep but its not worth becoming an alcoholic just to get sleep. No doctor i have seen has the right medication for my sleep issue and i think that varies from person to person, as with any medical condition its best to check in with your doctor and do some trial and error with what medication works for you instead of perhaps mixing a bunch of drugs like i do. Stay safe all and take your meds as directed by your doc and make sure to consult with your doctor before you take other supplements or drugs to amplify the effects of sleeping induced drugs/
Thank you for comment and sharing your experience here. And I’m sorry to hear that u have had to go through a lot of difficult situations by dealing with sleep issues. I agree with you. I have been following my doctor’s guidance carefully even though there were a lot of times that I was so confused and not sure if I was doing the right thing by listening to my doctor cuz it took me a while to get the right combination of sleeping pills that finally worked on me. It’s necessary but very hard to go through try and error under this kind of circumstances. Plz stay safe and take a good care of yourself 🙏
When you did the blood work [ at the time when they took your blood] to test for testosterone, were you taking velefaxin? That is, was velefaxin in your system when they took your blood?
Did they also test your " prolactin " levels? Prolactin is a hormone produced in the pituatary gland. When you take SSRI/SNRI like velefaxin, this can increase your prolactin level. This is well known in the medical literature. If prolactin is high it turns off testosterone in males and estrogen in females. I asked you because the same thing happened to me also. I was taking a different SSRI , and once I started taking the medication my testosterone went down to 6.4 nmol/l. They gave me a medication called cabergoline and that turns off your propactin, and testosterone went back to 18.9 nmol/l. You don't even need TRT, if prolactin is the cause of your problem.
