I'm an utter geek although nobody would think it. I want to breed my ragdoll cat and have loads of kittens. I use oldy woldy phrases that no one understands.
Music plays a big part in my life. I was brought up on classic rock thanks to my mum and that has progressed to a love of black/thrash/industrial metal, punk. EBM, aggrotech. I also secretly love a bit of old school trance
When I finished a cycle on mirtazipine I suffered with terrible insomnia, I'll never go back on them. I'm currently on 150mg ven xr and the night sweats are TERRIBLE, I'm also suffering with a lot of jaw clenching (I broke a molar because of it). I'm now considering going back to GP.
Can any one suggest a similar SSRI? Preferably one with less night sweat symptoms
The only advice is please never go cold turkey. The side effects can be compared to coming off of a hardcore drug. I have shakes, dizziness, restlessness, night terrors hiluciations and the dreaded brain zaps. These side effects lasted a good month
please tapper off venlafaxine!!
Through personal experience I've learnt that the only people who truly understand are those suffering with mental health themselves.
GPs are by far the least understanding
I have been suffering with jaw clenching for a while now. It's disrupting my sleep, I'm eating less and have even broken a tooth because of it. I can't wear a mouth guard and have tried asprin, paracetamol and cocodamol but has no affect.
Please advise me of any pain relief or remedies that could help because this pain is getting unbareable
Thanks
This is a fairly embarrassing question to ask but I've been on 150mg Effexor xl for a month now and my night sweats have got really intense, I won't go into detail but I have noticed that my sweat now smells like sour cream Pringles, hmmm. My diet hasn't changed and I haven't eaten Pringles since before I started my treatment. My question is has anyone noticed the smell of their sweat/personal odour has changed?
Sorry for the super late update. After a few weeks of feeling sorry for myself I applied for a few more local jobs and got a role as a healthcare assistant. This job helped me get over all the problems with my previous job, my team are so friendly and supportive and my confidence has grown massively.
I never persued a claim against my old manager because of money and health issues but I'm glad I didn't. Losing my job was the best thing that could have happened to me and believe it or not it helped my recovery.
