After having major problems in 2017 changing from Efexor-XR to Enlafax-XR, we want to try and get the process around funding of alternate brands of medication changed to make it less restrictive.

Please help by signing and sharing this petition.

There is also a Facebook page for people who have been affected by this - "ENLAFAX - problems with medication brand change NZ" please join if you have been or know of someone who was.

My daughter’s depression and anxiety has gotten worse especially when trying to work at a job. She is unable to hold onto a job because of her anxiety and depression. She is a very caring person but has trouble having friends and has low self esteem. My wife and I try giving her as much support as possible but it is hard . Some times it is like walking on egg shells around her. I feel it is all my fault because I suffer from depression and she inherited it from me . I don’t understand anxiety… read more

Hello,
Helen has started a petition to try and get our Government to take notice and start funding Effexor-XR again, Enlafax (the generic medication) has badly affected a lot of people but trying to get anything done about it is near impossible. Being on Effexor-XR is now very expensive as it is no longer funded at all, and many people with mental illness are on limited income.
Please sign and share this petition.
Thank you.

Just started a new part time job and so far I do not like it. Barely any training, very stressful and I feel they expect too much of me. I was a temp at another location and had half the responsibilites there. I was much more happier as a temp. I hate having to clock in and out every day, hate all these Corporate emails about nonsense, having to do all these elearning stuff in a timely manner, completing an employee appraisal evauation, etc. all this stuff that comes with being an employee… read more

I like this website. But how annoying to have to log in every single time.

Hi People,

So I am curious, I have now had a IUD in for coming up 10 years (well technically this current one is my 2nd one) and I have been thinking I am going to need to have it removed next year - this causes me major fear as the first and second ones were both inserted under general anesthetic (I also had laparoscopies at the time), I have also never given birth and I am terrified about the pain of having it removed.

Also on doing a bit of reading this evening I have started to wonder if… read more

Hi, anyone in South Africa?

As I look at the symptoms, I believe I might have depression, I would like to know what I can do to start off with the treatment process. How do I get a diagnosis? I am unemployed currently, do not have money for to see a doctor, no medical aid, can I go to the clinic? Its difficult to talk to family and friends as I feel they would just advice that I should pray on it and it will all become better. Thank you for your time.

I believe that I'm addicted to Masturbation but after talking to my doctor about it she says I'm not and that I'm normal.
My problem being that I feel lonely so that being said I masturbate but after I do feel guilty and feel down in the dumps. I have not a girlfriend or wife so that makes me feel depressed.
