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.

It's hard for me to determine if I am helping or hindering recovery. I would like to hear from others what is helpful and/or other suggestions. Thank you!
Thank you for your comment, @A MyDepressionTeam Member. It's always good to get a different perspective.
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.

What do you say when you’re at a social event ? And if you don’t attend what do say to someone one on one?
I’ve been feeling better ( I have social anxiety and I committed a huge faux paus not too long ago . Im still reeling over it . Anyway , I don’t do public much but I’m actually going to attend a “ Girls Night” Of Cards ♦️
What would be some things that could be discussed?
When your are comfortable enough to be around others you will know, don’t force yourself or let others try to me you go.
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 agree with David Patterson. Don’t underestimate yourself ever. We have abilities. We haven’t yet even discovered about ourselves. I definitely understand. Hating a job. Right now I’m working as a… read more
Sorry if anyone finds it gross but just curious.
Like if someone cuts their arm how do they know if they need stitches or not?
I would get medical treatment if the bleeding wouldn't stop or after a day or so & it looked swollen, red indicating infection but usually cleaning it with hydrogen peroxide or betadine, puting some… read more
I had something happen the other day that embarrassed me and then made me angry. I used to burn. The inside of my left arm is a mass of scars. There are also some cut scars on each arm. There’s no way to cover them. Long sleeves when it’s 90+ out are not an option. I’ve never had anyone ask me to my face what was on my arm. The other day while sitting with other people this woman asked what was on my arm!!!!! I quickly hid it and mumbled a non answer. Now I’m furious. Has anyone else… read more
My daughter has very serious, keloid scarring, where she has self harmed herself. As a mother, to see them, promotes the most saddest feelings, I can feel. Out of curiosity, I asked her if she would… read more
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
I think you should talk to a nurse or your doctor about your anxiety regarding this . Your fears may be unfounded and I am sure they will do what they can to make you comfortable.
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.
