Effexor overdose
Common Questions and Answers about Effexor overdose
effexor
Back in 2006 I got really low and took an overdose of my antidepressant-Effexor and Olanzipine, I cant recall the exact quantities I took but it was about 8 capsules of Effexor (75mg) and a couple of Olanzipine (5mg). I seemed to 'pull through' this incident fairly well, but for the now I am wondering what kind of long term damage I could've done to my system, as most of the time I never really feel that healthy. Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Highly unlikely, but if you are trying to overdose you need to go immediately to the emergency room. You need to be in a hospital setting until you get stabilized. The fact you're writing on this forum suggests you really don't want to die, so go to the hospital, get stabilized, and then with a psychiatrist figure out a plan to learn what you do want and how you might get there. Good luck and get help now.
i messed took too many pills but apparently not enough. i went to my doctor im back on effexor with all the side effects. im going to a counselor soon. ive been back on effexor a week. ok in day time but i cant sleep t lay in bed and sleep a lot. i wish i could get my happy back and my emotions. nothing feels right/ i feel nothing and i know that is noy good.
You need to see your psychiatrist. You're on a very high dose of Effexor, and now you're also on a low dose of another med that targets serotonin. Two things might be happening -- one is an overdose of serotonin. The second is an overdose of dopamine.
i'm on several medications: concerta 52 mg, topamax, and effexor. i am so tired still during the day. i'm also cold. i thought concerta would keep me focussed during the day; not still have me feeling lazy. what is wrong with me.
See psychiatrists, psychologists, counsellors, been in hospital, taken an overdose, etc, etc. Now I am well on 150mg Effexor XR and will never stop taking it.
Glad you have had a diagnosis, because that will help you understand why you feel like you do.
Hope the Cognitive Behavious Therapy works for you. That is one thing I have not tried. Let me know how you get on with it, and if it helps.
Take care.
Weakness or numbness on one side of the body does not mean that it was a Stroke. The adverse effects of Effexor overdose are- vertigo, dizziness, nausea, numbness/tingling in the hands or feet, sleepiness, rapid or slow heartbeat, low blood pressure, seizures, or coma. Since you had taken a heavy overdose and that too pills expired 5 yrs back, the adverse effects would be even worse in severity.

I was diagnosed with clinical depression years ago (10+ years) and have been taking Effexor 225mg for the last 5 years or so. I've noticed that I'm not getting the same benefit that I used to and mentioned it to my GP. She has suggested that I think about using Wellbutrin in combination with the Effexor.
I've read that this combo can cause a whole heap of trouble - i.e. seizures, liver/kidney function decreases, etc.

s just taking hydrocodone, and not mixing with other drugs or alcohol, it would take alot to overdose. Especially if he has a tolerance. I would say its more likely he would need to go to the hospital for APAP toxicity than hydrocodone overdose. APAP (tylenol) is mixed with the hydrocodone and is not good for the liver in high doses.
Just tell him not to go crazy and make sure he doesn't mix with alcohol or other drugs (besides weed), and he should remain alive.
