Antidepressiants were not working======

Jan, I am also on effexor XR and had to change mine from 37.5 to 75 because I started feeling kinda funny. I never thought about the capsules not breaking done fast enough. I just had a new Rx filled and I wonder if taking the granules out of the capsule would help. What do you think. Thanks for the info. Nan Manning

Nan,it is my understanding that you NEVER take the granules out of a capsule. Do please call your druggiest. My druggest changed my capsules for the regular pill. I break the 75 mg in half and take it with food two times a day. Take care, Smiles, Jan

I am so sorry you had such a rough time. Good thing you found such a good doctor that fixed you right up. I am glad to hear things are going better. I think about you often and wondered how you have been doing. I am glad you posted. Melissa

Hi Melissa, you are looking so pretty. Thank you for your friendship. I am doing so much better and plan to be doing even better tomorrow. I hope you and Christine are coming to Brookhaven on July 15th for lunch with Cheryl Lee and the rest of us. Take care, Smiles, Jan

Hey Jan, Long time no talk. I am in Brookhaven every weekend and would love to come by and visit with you. They put me on Lexapro and I did great on it. Do you need anything.? Love ya lots... Sue

Hi Sue, how are you doing?? Yes, call me and let's get together this week-end, 601-835-1461. Thanks for your friendship and love. Smiles, Jan

good luck with regulating....it's a scary thing when meds that did work don't work anymore. I was worried about that with my birth control pills---so I went for an IUD. I guess with antidepressants there aren't 'injectables' or any other way to get them. Hopefully the increased dose will let you get enough, though. *hugs* hope you continue improving in mood! mary

Hello Mary, you did the right thing to contact your doctor. This is the most important thing we can do. My problem was I could not get anyone to listen to me. I just want everyone on Obesity Help to remember that we know our bodies better than anyone else. Just don't go to the suicide note to get attention. It did work for me but the pain I suffered the two hours I was serching my heart and writing the note was something I never want to experience again. Thanks for the hug, Smiles,Jan

I am so glad to hear that you are doing better! Tried to email you but dont know if you got the mail or not. Do I need to call Western Sizzlin, or did you call about July 15? If not I will call them and make the booking.... Glad to hear that you are doing great! Love, Cheryl

Hi Cheryl, I still have not done anything in prepareing for the luncheon. Please see if you can take care of that for us. Please forgive me, I just seem to be literally taking a moment at a time instead of one day at a time. But, I am getting better each day. I really am looking forward to seeing you and spending some time with you. I didn't get the email and I sent you one before the suscide note but I don't think you got it either. Call me when you get to town. 601-835-1461. Thanks for all you do for all of us. Smiles, Jan
