Re: from citalopram to venafaxine good stories please !!!
Hi - glad you have all had a good day and busy! and well done Nicola!
I have just taken my 150mg (2 x 75mg) ven! - Have not done much today - just popped round my parents and my brother and nephew were there. My brother commented how much better I looked compared to last Saturday - had just come back from the Psychiatrist! and was in a right state - he sorted out which pharmacists stocked actual Effexor for me on his iphone - bless him.
See how it goes - thoughts have not been as bad and have only had to take one lorazepam a day whilst on Ven - just keeping my fingers crossed.
Will keep you updated and thanks for your support
Luv Laura xxx
Re: from citalopram to venafaxine good stories please !!!
Hi everyone,
Sounds like a good day for today's posters, and long may it last!
I was feeling a bit tired at 3 so I thought I'd have a lie on the bed and read - I've just woken up! I must have been really tired but I feel much better now. I've come downstairs to an empty house as my partner must have taken Freddie out for a walk. Much as I love them both, it's nice to have a little time on my own..
Pink - a good day's work done! Enjoy your cheeky bit of chocolate. Seeing that you're doing that, I might as well. I spotted some kit kats in the cupboard before...
Laura - I'd be interested to know what your brother looked up. Does it mean pharmacists who prescribe Effexor from a generic prescription? Mine did this last time as they'd obviously run out of generic XR caps.
I'll be back later.
Take care
Pip x

Hi Pip
Tbh I was in such a state - I don't know what he did - he must have phoned up - surely - but whatever he got me sorted - remember that was a private prescription with Effexor XL actually on it! from the psychiatrist to get me started asap.

Morning Ven buddies
Take it having a lay in? Well doubled the dose yesterday and tbh was getting a little anxious by the end of the evening so took a lorazepam! Had a good night's sleep - feel a little blurry this morning but ok - nothing exciting planned so far - wish the weather would brighten up.
Hope you are all feeling ok.
Speak later

Hi Nicola - that is fantastic - gives me hope! You needed that increase - was a bit worried at the time because you were having side effects but keeping my fingers crossed - think that UTI messed you up but pleased you are feeling well. xxxxx
