I take 225mg of Venlafaxine everyday - I haven't really had much in the way of side effects. Having said that, what do notice is that if I accidentally miss a dose, I will get brain zaps like no tomorrow. The thing I DON'T like about this particular med (and please note this has just been my...

Cymbalta - the devil's drug. Coming off that nightmare I was as suicidal as I've ever been in my life. It was AWFUL - the only thing that saved me was a friend of mine who is a naturopath healer, advised me to take calcium and magnesium to soothe my central nervous system. It worked...

Hi, So I feel a little strange posting this but one thing that's been happening is that I've been self injuring without really realizing it. Let me explain. I work in sometimes a stressful situation (with family) and I'm not one to show my stress or anxiety about something and if I am...

@intothelight thank you for the warm welcome! I'm slowly getting comfortable here! Navigating the site has taken some getting used to but I'm pecking away at it! @TimeToHeal - that 8 weeks was the most intense of my life - having everything I know fall away from me, having to wrap myself up in...

Wow...thank you all so much! I will write more later as I'm at my office and well, it's pretty much not cool to be posting on a forum especially when you are the boss. I really appreciate everyone's words of advice and encouragement and I will definitely write more when I can (most likely later...

I have lots of weird stories :). But I wanted to just add to your post and say that when I'm particularly stressed, my three dogs pick right up on it...they get closer and try to comfort me. I think it's great that they come closer to you. Animals are EXTREMELY perceptive, wild or not! I think...

Hello, I just found this forum and I hope it will be a safe place to come and share experiences and give and receive support. I'm not feeling like I want to delve head long into my trauma history, but suffice it to say I'm experiencing some terrifying experiences in every day life (walking to...
