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.

People seeking closure are often denied that because of the confidentiality laws that we have. Often, those very same confidentiality laws are part of the cause of our depression and anxiety. I realize that "We can't force another person to do anything" but our laws are geared more towards protecting the confidentiality (legal) rights of a person than they are in saving the life of a depressed individual who is only seeking answers to a life-changing action that was taken
Example

I don't have no Regrets, especially when it comes to my Mental Health (Illness), me doing Self Harming (Cutting), because for me it was a CRY 😭😭😭 for HELP & ATTENTION & know later down the line that I needed Help. @ times yes I wanted to Die because I think 🤔💭 (thought 🤔💭) anybody or anyone cared for me, especially my Family & I always thought I wasn't worth Living, but I'm Thankful I pulled through, so that I can be a help to someone else ☺️

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.

I was a victim of domestic violence in 2017 that almost killed me. I suffer from PTSD and I’m sure depression. Lately, I’ve been getting angry and taking it out on my best friend who I recently started having feelings for. He’s had enough of me and my mood swings and I swear they are not intentional and I don’t know how to control and fix the situation. Any advice???

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 have known this lady for 13 years and she has always been difficult. Problem now is my wife and her hate each other. I'm obviously going to pick my wife over her. Problem is if you don't talk to her every few days she will call the police to do welfare checks. She will also keep ringing the phone until you answer literally. How would you deal with someone like that?

I grew up with domestic violence, which has really affected me a lot. But I didn't realise how much until recently. It has made me very afraid of people, and especially men. It took a lot of work for me to even be able to hug people. I would always try to avoid guys, and never ended up dating anyone. My whole life, my physical contact with people and especially men has been very limited. I only just dated a guy for the first time recently, and I'm 27! I also find it difficult to maintain eye… read more

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