Angie’s aunties new medical condition - schizophrenia. That poor woman when you think she can’t possibly have anything else.
Bam another one
Surely not down to the fact there was a bloke with schizophrenia in her box yday. God she does rile me up.

Also wanted to chime in re: Venlafaxine. I’ve been on it 375mg for 4 years and I feel no different from then to now in regards to MH and I’ve done more reading and learning and turns out it can make symptoms of ADHD worse, amongst other things. Doctors won’t do anything at this point it’s wild. If I had known what I do know about the medication and the difficulty coming off it I would’ve thought twice all those years ago, but Sertraline wasn’t doing s either.
 
Thanks, it's starting to worry me now, as I have not heard great stories about it. Is duloxetine from the same family as venlafaxine?
Please don't sit and worry contact your GP or mental health team. They are part of the same but they work very differently

My claws are under your skin
There was she ate them this morning but it mainly like household items like the loo roll
The only item I saw her being bought food wise was coconut cream and chocolate, it's not a weekly shop. Its widely out of touch to think anything on her wishlist is a weekly purchase other than soap and toilet rolls 😭

Because people will pretend to outrage over everything and over dramatise things it's pretty funny that people are so thick in all honesty. She did mention about a full weeks shop but I think she gave up after people kept clearing it 😅

Venlafaxine worked really well for me, for over 7 yrs. I then changed to Duloxetine after being on them only because they stopped working. The withdrawals were bad, mainly the brain zaps. But probably not as bad because i had the Duloxetine to wean onto. I don't take anything now, and it seems to have worked better for me. I wouldn't recommend it, though.

I think everyone is different, there's medication that's been named in here that I've had a horrendous experience with yet its helped others so much.

See how you are in a couple of weeks and if you are still feeling the same or you're worried, contact your Gp and raise your concerns with them. Try not to worry, although I know it's only natural and you probably are.

The pharmacist rings me every week, so I will see to her tomorrow about my concerns
