I’ve now been taking #Venlafaxine (#Effexor) for three days. Objective: #migraine relief (and perhaps #ADHD relief too). #SNRI which is prescribed for depression but also has proven highly effective in trials for anxiety, migraine (especially vestibular) and ADHD. Side effects are limited and similar to Fluoxetine or Sertraline. The migraine effects were found in studies to be virtually the same as Amitriptyline, but with less (and better tolerated) side effects.

@rombarthelemy et tu me dis ça le soir d’un jour gris où il a plu sans discontinuer #effexor

Ah, the joys of treating your #anxiety and #depression. #effexor #flopilydopily #mentalhealthmeme #copingmechanism

By the way, Mastodonians who are struggling with #depression...

Don't try #Effexor unless you're desperate. If it doesn't work, the withdrawal is horrible. I've been in a miserable, dark place for the last two weeks, and I'm likely to have at least another ahead of me.

Effexor : le remède est presque aussi terrible que le mal le temps de l’adaptation aux nouvelles doses…

Je me passerai bien de la somnolence, la nausée et les troubles du sommeil (rêves agités et angoissants).

Je déteste les prendre et j’espère vraiment que ça m’aide, mais que je n’ai pas encore assez de recul pour juger.

Oopsie daisy. I didn't refill my #Effexor prescription in time and don't have a pill for today. 🙃 Getting ready for brain zaps to start any moment now.
