Mitrazapine (remeron) And Venaflaxine (effexor)

[Leah Morgan]

I have been on mitrazapine for almost a year not but have had venaflaxine added in on day two and feel really odd nauseous like motion sickness no appetite. Is this normal

Yes! I was miserably sick for 4-5 days after starting Effexor but I am so glad I stuck it out. Things I learned: eat even though that's the last thing you want to do. The chemical saturated your system if you don't have food to process. I lived off of ginger ale during that time period. And take it slow. Don't commit to more than necessary over the next few days. I hope it works out as well for you as it did for me! I saw results after two weeks and full effects after 6 weeks.

Fun fact: this specific medication combination is often referred to as California Rocket Fuel. There's a Wikipedia page about it if you want to research it.

Yes it's normal, I had to stop it as it caused b12 deficiency anemia in March. Still trying to recover from it.
