Good Morning,

About three week's ago when I went to pick up my medication there was a note to say my Venlafaxine (Efexor XR) had been changed to a generic brand of the medication - Enlafax. I didn't think too much of it at the time

I thought a bit more about what could be causing then then I had a light-bulb moment… read more

This is my first post, so I hope this is where it goes. But I have a question. Has anyone been on effexor? I tried zoloft and prozac and I felt worse than when I started. My doctor just tried to change me to effexor but I've read so many reviews I'm nervous about the side effects.

So now I'm wondering if I should just try to taper off of everything and see how it goes. Honestly, they… read more

I started using that in October 22, and it helps a lot. I want to stop taking zoloft. Should I stop taking zoloft or wait for my next appointment? Is it true that if you stop taking your antidepressants, your mood will go from bad to worse?

Does anyone else question needing psych meds for life and have an inner battle with having to take them long term? Or have you accepted needing them for life?

This is my own personal experience... I had been taking a low dose of Seroquel for about 2 ½ years, feeling very depressed and low, my psychiatrist decided to take me off Seroquel I was prescribed Bupropion. I feel like a lot of the symptoms that I was accrediting to depression, were side effects. Extreme fatigue, grogginess, difficulty focusing. If I went to a depressive mind set I would be consumed by suicidal thoughts. Another thing... I have a severe neck injury, I have been… read more
