Even though I went to the doctors on Monday and got on medication, Effexor. I feel so-so at the moment. I'm exhausted. The side effects let up some, but sleepy. Not sure why but feeling a bit down. I have a little more motivation to do things, which is good, but why all of a sudden I feel like this? feeling down? Is it from the medication? Lack of sleep?
I haven't eating much in the past few days and I really don't want to. I'm so wanting to lose more and more weight. I don't even want food at all....So am I even ready for recovery when I feel this way?
Sorry, I'm so down all of a sudden... Just not sure if I'm even ready to recover. Am I?
Added on later (edit):
My chest has been bothering me lately. Can't seem to eat anything even when I try taking one bit and feeling like I'm going to throw up. I'm disappointed - I hope I don't have to change meds, since we spent $55 on the medication.. :( It's not like you can exchange them and get your money back. :( Gosh, i want to cry :(
Medication can be hard to deal with sometimes. For years my doctor tried me on different ones...having to come off of one to go on another that had different side effects. It was so hard. Now I'm on Pristiq and so far it's been pretty good for me.
I was on Effexor for a little while and it made me very tired all the time. So tired sometimes I couldn't even get out of bed. I quickly went off of it. But give it a little more time, just because it didn't work for me doesn't mean it won't work for you. If you still feel like this after a few weeks, then maybe it's not right for you.
Thanks, Alex. So tired of feeling this way already... :( Just disappointed that we'd spent $55 and may have to get right back off... :( Just frustrated with how I'm feeling... Thank you for posting :) I almost want to just stop this all together, but it's been 4 days and already feel horrible from the side effects. I feel a little better in some ways, but for some reason this afternoon, I've felt horrible... :( and my chest has been hurting for the past few days, so it's just having to push through all this and giving it time. Just seems like time is taking forever... Trying my best not to stop this without the doctor knowing (done that before).... :(
