Have your mood meds really changed you ??So my Dr wants to put me on an Rx called Effexor..

I don't know how to feel about that because ...as much as I want relief from my anxiety and crazy pmdd mood swings....mi don't want to lose my creativity and the emotions that come with it as I am an intense person for good and bad emotions.

I didn't have good results with that one (or any prescription antidepressants, especially SSRIs), but you have to do your own research and listen to your body.

Be careful if you smoke weed or whatever what you combine with SSRIS, because you don't want to get serotonin syndrome.

Research the pros and cons. Some people it helps them a lot. I am really biased against them but some people do well with them. But there are risks to it all.

Ultimately its your decision. A lot of time i feel people forget its ultimately your choice if you choose to take them. I'd ask him those specific things if theyd alter your creativity.

reuptake inhibitor = NO


Try St John’s Wort, passionflower extract, and Omega-3 fatty acids first

@XxBlahxX magnesium & foods low in saturated fats and sugar but rich in omega-3s, antioxidants, and B vitamins are good.

Try Acupuncture

@CreyvinMoorhead yes I've always made natural changes on and off but at this point I think I need to make a serious conscious decision to change my lifestyle....and be permanently ok with it for the sake of my mental well being
