Random MSN Gibberings LX: Cabbage it is...

Yeah Mugz they were pretty unpleasant at first, have been on it in the past and stopped cos of side effects but decided to give it another go and they all went within 2-3 weeks. I have had insomnia again lately but I don't think that's linked to the venlafaxine now, more stress-related!

It's definitely important to start low and increase slowly - as I said was worth it for me and I don't get any side effects at all but YMMV of course.

Acidtek, I reckon give it a try but talk to your doctor about your concerns. Don't take anything you don't want to, it's all about weighing up the pros and cons. Hope you get on well with it though :) def worth taking it properly rather than skipping doses, but if it all gets too much just tell your doc. Make sure you take it first thing too! Good luck :)
 
I've only recently started on the venlafaxine and I've been skipping doses like a mofo because of the side effects so it's good to hear you have something positive to say about it! I'm gonna start taking it properly and hopefully it should help lift my mood a little! Thankyou effie
 
No probs, give it a try taking it regularly and see - as you can tell some people just really don't get on with it at all so it might not be for you but it lifted my mood like nothing else for me. Let us know how you get on! :)
 
I will do, how long should I give it to feel some postive effects and for the side effects to drop off?
 
Sorry added that bit after I'd posted!

It was 2-3 weeks for me. I can't say what it'll be like for you but that's what the doctor told me to expect, and it was pretty accurate. After a week it was all a lot more bearable but I was still feeling a bit sicky and not sleeping brilliantly, after week 3 it had gone completely :)

Really hope it's the same for you (or the side effects go even faster!) - as I said if it's too much and you can't handle the SEs I'd def tell your GP and switch to something else, rather than missing doses, cos you'll never actually get the therapeutic benefit that way.

Hope it works out for you :)
 
Yo Effie :)

Yea another thing I'd suggest is if you find some of the side effects too much to bare, but are quite positive about there being a good outcome with it all in all, then maybe you'd be able to get a script that would help with some of them (i.e. a short Benzo script if it's anxiety / restlessness, some form of Antiemetic that won't interact badly if it's nausea etc.) and that could help massively :)
But I'd agree - Start the dose really small and extremely gradually increase.
 
Evening Monsta :)

That's a good idea about a short term script to help the side effects, I forgot to say I got a week of zopiclone and was on the verge of getting an antiemetic too but didn't need it in the end. The zopi really helped me :)

In other news.. I'm bored. Might set fire to another paper towel.
 
Yea sorry but I couldn't help but giggle at your kitchen-wonder-woman skillz there :P Hehe ^_^
Maybe make some paper towel origami and then set it on fire? Would pass more time ;)
 
Haha I giggled myself once I'd got over the shock and the fire was extinguished! The crumpets were worth it anyway :)
 
Crumpets are worth quite a lot of pain and anguish :D
Speaking of food, I think it's time for some :)

T'rah for now all! <3~^_^~<3
 
+1 on the bored front, I'm watching emmerdale! Got some mxe but I don't think I should take it with my other meds and the state of my mental health!
 
I went to the archaeology museum today in Dublin, Hadnt been in a museum for years
great stuff they have tracing Irish archeology right back to the stone age and up until middle ages. The craft and skill in making items out of gold and bronze is astonishing, they have beautiful silver chalaces and gold ships

Ardagh Chalice
Brougher Gold

amazing all this stuff was found randomly usually by farmers digging in fields, sometimes over a thousand years later!
 
Acidtek - Emmerdale?!?!?!.....
Wow there really must not have been anything else to do =D
There's Spring Watch on now ^_^ Owls! Ickul Owls!

Ooooh, also (and I know this isn't the shiTV thread, but..) The Shadow Line is on again tonight :) Fucking quality series! Think it's the penultimate episode of the series. Gunna be on it like Shakespeare on a sonnet ;)

Just had myself some food that I enjoyed :) A cheezeyburger! Haven't had anything like that in yonks so it was good to have a bit of home-made junk food :)
Hope everyone else has managed to eat today ♥

s1aught3r - Aww that's ace man :) Good to hear that people are still enjoying museums! They're magical places full of so many interesting objects and tales of the past. Really precious places that need more support from the public :)
Those are some beautiful objects too by the way!
 
I know sad watching emmerdale! That's when you know your bored!don't know whether take of my mxe or not!
 
playing sonic 3. can't believe how shit i've got in the 15 odd years since i last played it!

also created a load of vector graphics of equations, v boring, only to discover they're not saved the right way to be imported into the program i'm using and i can't just save them as the right thing. rubishness. need to get on the LaTeX.
 
Oooh, latex ;) (I've no idea about computor programing so I'm just got to think what I want to think =D ).
I should play some oldschool games soon actually :) Have an emulator somewhere on my pute with games like Road Rash (1,2&3), all the Sonics (3D aside) and many others :)
Used to have loads of fun playing Road Rash when I was younger ^_^
 
its just a markup language really. but funnily enough on the LaTeX facebook page are a load of people liking it for the wrong reasons!

never played road rash. hardly had any games when i was young though so not surprising. we downloaded a load of nintendo stuff really cheap for the wii, my boyfs obsessed with street fighter 2.
