I second that Loreen! Very interesting indeed. Thanks Marie! I had no idea that there were any serotonin receptors in the gut, let alone 90%! Wowzers! Really useful info about how the meds work and it all explains a great deal in terms of how sometimes people can feel worse before feeling better.
Good call about the chewing gum too! Ive been forcing myself to yawn which seems to be helping a little but it's good to know these side effects will most likely wear off over time...feel like my arms and legs and stomach muscles are permanently engaged.
I am glad the Zopiclone rundown helped a little. Like I say, you may sense that you can reduce it a bit quicker than I did but definitely no rush
Loreen so good to hear again how much the Ven has helped you after trying all the other meds.
And I checked out that thread you recommended Marie, about good stories - Venlafaxine. Some much needed encouraging posts and experiences for sure. Thanks for the tip!
Loads a love and , Gem X
