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.

I just got recent diagnose from actual psychiatrist and not just a therapist with major depressive disorder - severe, and generalized anxiety disorder. I still see my therapist even though my psychiatrist diagnose me. But, therapist tell me to call 988 if I ever feel suicidal and I feel I need to act on it. If I do that, what happens if they can't calm me down? I'm guessing they don't give me permission to do it, but do they call the police? If they call the police, what do they do?
Granny, thanks for your advice. Thankfully I have close to 100 hours of PTO stored up.
What are the symptoms of anxiety attacks? At times I'm in a place and I start shaking and want to get out of there as soon as possible. I prefer staying at home with myself than going out. At times I'm so scared that I have trouble swallowing and my heart beats fast. What is this?
Panic attacks are more severe and do not have an obvious trigger (that heart attack feeling, vomiting, feels like you're going to die, hyperventilating, feeling extreme doom and dread, etc). 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.

Through insurance I pay for my own meds here in the US.
Yesterday my thoughts about self harm and the like were so bad I was seriously considering seeking medical help. But then I felt ashamed for being so selfish and then undeserving of help. So I did what I always do and shoved it down. My family knew something was wrong but I just kept saying I was having a bad day and that I'd be fine. How do you cope, how do you pull yourself back from the edge?
I rely on my meds to get me moving in morning It’s not a great solution but it helps me to get going. I wish I woke up and was glad I did
I really struggle with this and feel guilty and worthless sometimes and my life feels pointless.
Ya I feel like I’m less then
Think about what Im thinking about and distract myself. Deep breathing helps.
