what is the cause of the manic like happiness i feel only after taking one dose of venlafaxine (75 mg)?

Question

I missed a dose of Effexor (venlafaxine) 75mg. When should I take the mext one?

Answer 1

Switch phenomenon: People who are bipolar can switch rapidly into a manic episode when taking antidepressant. See your psychiatrist. They may want to start you on a mood stabilizer.

Answer 2

No: Effexor (venlafaxine) is a dual-action antidepressant. It is generally not used for treatment of bipolar disorder. In cases of bipolar disorder, antidepressants should not be used alone; if they are used they should be combined with another medication called a mood stabilizer.

Answer 3

Need 2 b depressed: Effexor (venlafaxine) is 4 depression if pt is bipolar need mood stabilizer and/or antipsychotic med.

Answer 4

Possibly: Most bipolar patients are more often depressed than manic. But patients who are bipolar also need a mood stabilizer as well. Talk with your doctor about your concern. We are here to help you to understand as well as feel better.

Answer 5

Effexor (venlafaxine): Unlikely unless you had history of depression & your manic phase is controlled with mood stabilizers/neuroleptics.

Answer 6

Not that I know of: Effexor (venlafaxine) if taken for a period of five or six weeks and stopped suddenly can have significant withdrawal. Wellbutrin is used to help people who are addicted to cigarettes stop smoking but doesn't block withdrawal symptoms. That's as close to" addiction or addiction symptoms" as i can get regarding those two medications.

Answer 7

Call your doctor: It is important to be able to explain to your doctor what kind of breathing problem you are having. Usually it comes from having more anxiety or if you are being treated for anxiety you need a higher dose. In very very rare cases if you feel your muscles are too stiff that is a serious side effect and you need to seek help sooner.

Answer 8

It depends: It really depends on what kind of breathing problem you have. Anxiety can cause a feeling of not getting enough air in, but so can lung issues like asthma, bronchitis or pneumonia. You need to communicate with your physician to determine what's causing your breathing problem and the next step.

Answer 9

Effexor (venlafaxine): Not sure what dose of Effexor (venlafaxine) u r on, but check your blood pressure and contact your doctor for followup.

Answer 10

Terrible "lows": First of all, the "highs" of mania are more a story about an abundance of boundless super-charged energy (often associated with grandiosity and sometimes paranoia) and not so much a story about happiness and joy. Secondly, the "lows" can be very low and accompanied by suicidal despair.

Answer 11

No: It is a major illness that can disrupt relationships vocations academic work financial security etc. It may lead to jail or suicide mania usually produces irritability which isn't fun--i don't see it as being "best".

Answer 12

Best?: Most fun? Most interesting? Most difficult? It is hard to know what you mean. For those with severe mental illnesses, most don't find a lot of good to having the disorders that they have. Most would choose to have no illness, mental or physical. Manics get themselves in lots of trouble and can ruin their lives and the lives of those around them, especially in the most severe of cases.

Answer 13

Maybe: Pristiq is a cogener of effexor...Pristiq is the right rotatory molecule of the racemic mixture known as effexor...Basically, the same medication...Pristiq is more potent..Venlafaxine versus desvenlafaxine...Don't confuse potency with efficacy, however...

Answer 14

Pristiq - Effexor Xr: They both contain the same active ingredients. Dosing may be simpler with Pristiq then Effexor XR. See: http://www.iodine.com/compare/effexor-vs-pristiq
