I was just typing because I feel more normal now. My baseline is right now is venlafaxine discontinuation syndrome, and the symptoms of a higher dosage (My symptoms now are more like those symptoms, and my psychiatrist took me off Klonopin because of my age. Dysgraphia is one of them. But I could not think or write at all with the higher dosage of Effexor.) I have had fibromyalgia for ten yrs and was only diagnosed four yrs ago. Gabapentin caused muscle tremors, but without it I could not function. I was able to work and the pain was still unbearable at times and the pain was a sustained 6, and often so unbearable. I also have severe damage to my back, such that drs who see my MRIs have winced and wondered how I could damaged it. But I have hereditary disabling osteoarthritis and have done a lot of heavy lifting, often through blinding pain. I had to leave my job, and finally, after several years of only being able to work part-time, I applied for disability so that I could be on Medicare, and could maybe we'll enough to work part_time, which I can't now, because the Effexor made my hands shake so badly, and still does at the reduced dosage. Also, I had had strong reservations about it, having taken Zoloft and taken six months to recover from it, and with Klonopin with it, I could work, but can't without it. My psychiatrist also cut my dosage of Klonopin in half. Again, because of my age. So after the phenibut, which had no dosing label, or even a disclaimer, so I only belatedly discovered after taking what was, online, half the recreational dose. I should only have taken half of the recreational dose. My partner was terrified this morning when he could not wake me up, and did not want me to take the venlafaxine, but it took awhile to work, and withdrawal for this SNRI is more vicious than when I reduced dosage too fast when recovering from cold turkey Zoloft from tapering too fast. Sorry I took so long. You probably need a break. At this point, I can wait. Thank you for your patience.
I am on disability, and have not been able to work even part-time since I started on the venlafaxine, so I am too broke even for $15. I can't go to the ER because I went when my doctor cut my dosage of Klonopin in half (due to my age). So I can't go to the ER, because when 75 mg caused me high blood pressure and blood pressure, which BP and a heart rate of 90bpm, which has never happened to me. Even in my worst pain, my blood pressure was a little higher, but it starts at normally 90/60 and the increase barely registers. So that,s why I came to you for advice to determine whether I absolutely had to go.
