Hello dear! I have been writing here before. I took Lexapro for over a year and it did help with my anxiety. I just had to stop taking it because of many typical side effects. I have been without meds for two weeks and I feel the absolute worst I have ever felt. I am waiting for my doctor to get back to me. I have come to the realization that I need medication. I cannot do this life without it. All I can do is cry and hurt the people around me because I am so on the edge all the time. I might ask my doctor about Effexor. Thank you for talking about this and being here ❤
Hey you. You're awesome. Keep doing what you're doing. I love to visit your channel. It just feels so soothing. Now I'm on 225 effexor and 300 wellbutrin but I still give you credit cuz I feel it... :)
Hi there, thank you so much for that feedback..that's exactly what I hope to be for people..a soothing channel that makes people feel less alone and perhaps smile a little a long the way. Hope you are doing well!
I really like how you define anxiety and depression and your calmness is amazing and very inspirational. It’s hard to stay calm when you suffer anxiety. I wonder if Effexor helps you to stay calm or if is just your personality? anyways I’m watching this video because I just started taking Effexor two days ago and I’m feeling quite tired and drowsy I can’t get myself to do anything. Feeling a little impatient with the side effects :/
Hi Karla, thank you for watching and for your feedback! great question about personality vs. medication. My personality is usually all over the place to be honest. I get super motivated and hyper focused on something and then I fall into a swamp and can't find the motivation no matter how hard I try to find it. I do manage to stay calm in certain situations even if I'm slightly freaking out inside. Let me know how you are doing now. Give it sometime as long as the side effects are too serious. Hang in there girl!
Did you have severe depression and anxiety disorder and not be able to eat before effexor. I am so fearful of the future and aging alone and more loss.
Can anyone help me? I started Effexor and today is day4 and I woke up with those wild wide open crazy eyes. Is this normal ? I don’t even want to leave the house because I look so crazy. I’m so concerned and I couldn’t find anything on google.
@@potatochalbro hi, yes they did thank goodness and I haven’t experienced it since. It was really scary when it happened. Someone suggested that it might have been some type of a manic episode but not sure.
I love how you say in a comment response that your personality is usually all over the place, high then low. This sounds like me. My doctor is starting me on Effexor today and I’m hoping to get some relief from my depression & anxiety. Side effects & efficacy of lexapro and Prozac were awful for me.
