Warren Seven 50 to 100 page reports in one day. Sounds like you are in the genius class. I guess some highly intelligent individuals are by-polar. I hope you proof read your reports. (no disrespect...
Dan I am now retired, but i was a Sales Manager with three offices. I was responsible for a regional office and two smaller offices. That meant 28 people directly or indirectly reporting to me. My...
I like the name "Twopeople" It really relates to how different we are in or out of Depression. I take 75mg Effexor-SR and 175mg Wellbutrin every morning with vitamins. Take vitamins which are...
Hi TwoPeople I have been taking Effexor for about 5 years now. I take it in the morning, and have no problem sleeping or falling asleep. In fact I can fall asleep in 5 minutes. ( Angers my wife as...
Take it from someone more than twice your age. I am currently going through one of my depressions. You sound like a typical case. Don't be afraid to talk to your friends and relatives about how you...
Now that you mention it I have a bit of a tremor with Effexor. In my case, it might be old age (66) I have much improved since my DR. put me on a combination of Effexor and Wellbutrin. Different...
Hi FamilyGuy. Glad to see you are still here. I know you have helped many. My interaction with "snohare" was such that I began thinking of my life in an entirely different way. I thought he must have...
Thanks Jon. I only knew him as "snohare" He had given me his name, but I lost the copy of the communication....
I have not been on this site for a year or so. Would like o contact "snohare" He was in Scotland I believe. Can anyone help?? /community/emoticons/yeah.gif ...
Wotan I've been on Effexor for about 5 years. 75mg daily. No side effects that I can think of. I was on 150mg daily and went down to 75 with no change to my mental state. I still have bouts of...
I think God is on vacation right now. So, I would suggest you depend on yourselves, friends, and commen sense to help you with your problems. Fires, winds, floods and other events are happening right...
Devine Mercy Don't fret. I have been on meds for years now ( maybe 10) I suffer from periodic depressions which last from 1 month to 3 or 4. Not suicidal, but they have caused me at times to feel...
Peachy Where you live sounds ideal. I bet if you were to ask people in the sub division or anywhere in the suburbs they would be glad to trade places with you. It sounds like a great place to raise...
I recently heard of someone being helped by taking a Magnesium supplement. Has anyone else heard of this ?...
I read recently about someone taking Magnesium for depression. Has anybody heard of this remedy? I am back in the "Black Hole" after being fine from February to July. Some days I can't function at...
Welcome Dee I too think that we need each other to keep going on the day to day grind. I am presently going through a "Period of Depression". Nothing looks positive to me at present. I have found...
Hi Red I haven't been around for a few months. I hardly recognize anyone. Would like to contact snohare, but don't know how. Ralph...
Jeff I am a believer in Effexor as I have been on it for about 5 years. I was first given Zoloft, which did not agree with me. I then went to Effexor 150mg and it seemed to solve the problem. I still...
Lefty I don't know if anti-depressants cause weight gain. I know that in my case peanuts, chips, gin and tonic, wine, and in general all the things I like to consume keep me in the rolly polly...
H2Lf In one of your posts, you may have said you are in Vermont. I'm just north of you. Correct me if I'm wrong. Stumpytroll. How did you come up with that "handle" ?...
Snohare. I've finally figured it out. You are actually a Medical Doctor (MD or Me Doctor) pretending to be a normal human like the rest of us. "You can't fool me my boy. The jig is up." Tell the...
I just read an exceptional piece an a Locked Thread written by H2LF. She not only brought me to better feelings about my own situation, but she (I'm certain) was of great help to the person she was...
Thanks RainDance, I knew you would know. :yeah:...
H2LF I may be of assistance to you. I would have to be on an e mail, as I would not want to discuss it on this forum. I don't know how to proceed though. I would like to contact others too, but just...
I must admit my ignorance of your desease leads me to make suggestions that are unreasonable. I must also state that being "longer in tooth" has rendered me much less mobile than I once was. The fact...
Hope you are feeling better John D :yeah:...
One of the more inexpensive hobbies I have is hiking. I used to go down to the state of New Hampshire and hike along various sections of "The Long Trail" which runs from the state of Georgia to...
Has anyone heard from Pammi ? She was of great help to me with her insight and experience....
Golf is a great pastime. It sure helps me and my depression. It seems to one of the only things I enjoy doing. You don't have to be good at it to have "fun". You just have to find others who are...
Could you perhaps elaborate....
Krista RainDance has it right. Spring is in the air. The birds are coming back and the sun is warming us up. Think good thoughts and keep trying to feel better. I know that I have had lows that I...
Krista I live in Montreal. Have been here since 1982 Have a son in Tokyo, daughter in toronto and a son here. My wife and I are "enpty nesters" living on the West Island....
Krista You sound as if you feel guilty for coming back to Canada.( I'm Canadian to" eh" ) I don't think in my opinion that you should feel anything but proud of yourself for making the decision to...
Krista What was the problem with your relationship. You don't explain the problem. If you share the reasons for your getting out, we might have some ideas for you. What about your 20 year marriage....
I was hoping you would return from the sleepy. Subconciously, I was "rooting" for you. (Puns are not my thing) If you look back I was asking about the typical manifestations of Chrohn's as I have an...
Brynn I'm starting to worry about snohare. I was sure he would come on this thread by now. It is Sunday 23:10 here in Montreal. :confused:...
Brynn Snohare should be awake by now or HE has slept the day away. I guess if you are tired or fatigued, that is what happens, I assume. I must have come accross as ignorant in my above contribution....
I know someone who suffered from Crohn's. I remember him being off work for months at a time. He was in his 30s at the time and he had a very active and stressful job in marketing. This was about 20...
riew Before offering help. Are you male or female? What approximate age group ( within 10 ) years ? How long have you been married ? I have been wed for 39 years. I have much experience. :yeah:...
Liza I have two grown children and a stepson. You raised your family as well as you could, and by your words it seems you are a great mother. You can be the best there is, but there is nothing you...
I don't want to judge any doctor on his or her motives, but I sometimes have felt like a bothersome, overactive, rambunctious, child being put in front of a TV set showing Shrek 2. It seems very...
I don't think I have had experience with anger with Effexor. My wife claims at times it has affected my attitude. I don't see it. I am normally a good natured person. You have to analyse the...
Gumbee Red has good advice. Just the fact that you are posting to this area means a lot to us. To think that you were born with a very serious disease and you are still coping with it as well as...
Dreams? The other night I was playing golf with Mike Weir, my hero. He was playing with a big furry blue sweater. I had an 84 (only in my dreams, I struggle to break 100) It seems taking Effexor has...
Cheia and Akram It always amazes me that well educated people, often in their senior years still don't understand depression. A short time ago I was with a friend I had not seen for a few years. I...
Thanks Jeanette. I may be good for a few more years. Everyone on here helps....
Cheia Now you have got me thinking. I am 64 (Monday) and my memory has been sufffering. I thought it was age related. But maybe it's the Effexor. I can't remember how long I have been on Effexor. "I...
May I suggest that you find another male companion. Someone you can trust and help you to express yourself more clearly. It is difficult to read your submission in order to be concise with some sort...
You are hitting the nail on the head, snohare. When I was young, I always felt unable to live up to the expectations of my peers. Never had the fun I should have had. Never tasted the adventure of...
RichardL I suggest you spread this "Doctor's" name around. Have his credentials examined, and see if he isn't a "quack". What school of medicine did he get his diploma from ? There are many preaching...
