It's venlafaxine, I feel a more stable, not as manic
I swapped to that and had to swap to another medication as that made my skin feel like it was crawling. Especially my legs, worst 4 months for them ever.
Now u say that, I am on ropinirole for my restless legs, from I started the venlafaxine it's not working as well and I'm getting cramps in my feet
Is that what they are weaning you off or is that what you will be taking?
That's what I am on now
Make sure you get regular checks done on that medication. I had to come off them. That’s what they weaned me off and it was the most awful experience ever
That's what worries me too, I have read some bad stories about them. Only upside is the pharmacist from my surgery has been ringing me ever Thursday for the last month to check in on me
Dread, Simon, Son, Son's Girlfriend, Daughter, Daughter and potentially a friend = £700 min p/d.
Van hire = £100.
Packing materials that aren't just boxes from Amazon parcels/supermarkets = £100 - 200.
So, if the entire property needs to be packed up, then it's at least a day to do that = £700.
Van for day 1 = £100.
Unpacking & reconstructing furniture day 2 = £700.
Van for day 2 = £100.
£1600 min.
Add on company inflated prices, wages that are above the minimum, insurance, the animal transportation requirements and insurance etc. and £3000 isn't too bad a price.
I wouldn't want to pay it, sure, but I have a choice. If you don't have a choice then it's what you have to do. Oh, but it's ok, because Dread didn't have to pay anything for her last move because her husband did it with a van they borrowed from work.

Thanks U guys for reaching out, means a lot
I’ve struggled with restless legs on venlafaxine too, magnesium oil spray on the soles of my feet and weighted blankets really help me, hope it settles for you soon x
Tried the magnesium oil, didn't work for me
Well Coco you did have a wishlist you kinda don't anymore 🫠
I've given up on catching up and I'm always asleep in the evenings and miss the good dramas, but I do hope everyone is well 
Hope you're doing ok. Have you had any luck in getting that *urgent* appointment any sooner?I've given up on catching up and I'm always asleep in the evenings and miss the good dramas, but I do hope everyone is well
Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s the venlafaxine. Made my moods have less extremes but my legs… oh my legs
Not even had a call back from the gp so nothing yet, but I'm doing ok thankyou. Hope you're ok too?
