from citalopram to venlafaxine, good stories please!!!

[pinkdove]

Thanks nicola and mr w just what i needed xx

[snowgoose]

so sorry to hear you are feeling so low Pinkdove .......it is so demoralising .
As Mr W says though .....it is a blip or stone on the road .

Having lunch out is lovely for sure .............but it does take its toll on us folk with anxiety even if we enjoy it . Extra adrenaline pumping around our bodies .
It is exhausting and tiring and makes us feel vulnerable again .
hold on Pink dove and take it easy for today now. Good job done by going out for lunch and new to the meds . The outlook is promising for them indeed .
take care

Thanks snowgoose, you are such a kind and understanding person, and i really appreciate your support. yes i found it hard to go to lunch, and was exhausted when i got home, but i went,i was with my mum and dad, they are elderly, and they noticed i was'nt myself.

i did try to hide it but it is'nt always easy, if i feel better tomorrow i will go see them, don't want them worrying thanks again xx

3rd day *

[pinkdove]

Hi pet hope you are feeling better today, aw it's so funny i almost feel myself in the evening, but much the same as you, very up and down, i.m going to stick it out another wek or so before seeing the dr.

if i need to increased i think i'd like to try 75mg in the morning and 37.5 at night.

i think you are a bit further on from me, but i just stopped the citalopram and sometimes wonder if i am getting a bit withdrawal from that.

Keep going pet, you are amazing, and give me so much support. sending you

[petram]

hi pink , felt bit better today although tense in body and mind , bit agitated and impatient at times,
your exactly like me 9 out of 10 eves i feel myself too , flipping weird that why cant we be like it all the time , 1 day soon we will hunny xx
and has for that dose im 75 mg in the am and 1 37.5 mg in the eve .
you may be about the same as me im on week 7 ish as you had a head start with the cit i dunno hun .
this day 4 of that dose for me today got a burny face at the mo and last hour for some reason .
the ocd thoughts been quite a biatch today too. but coping just! lol , im out tonight but not looking forward to it as i cant really relax and have a good old drink as i would normally do , because i dont wanna muck up me tabs .
if your doctor will talk to you on the phone maybe buzz them and ask advice ?? mine s quite good like that .
ty for your ongoing support my lovely , keep strong and ride out the shitty time it will pass lots of love
pet xx

[pinkdove]

Hi Pet, yes i think i'll ask for an increase to 75mg and 37.5mg in the hope that the extra will sort out the daytime.

Have a good night out tonight, sometimes when we don't look forward to something, they can turn out to be really good.

been out shopping, not too bad, but glad to get home. take care xx

[petram]

ty hun yeah i would ask , even at home i feel anxious ext do you too??
il try and chill whilst out xx
