Other - Health - August 2006

I've been on venlafaxine 150mg since January and it's working pretty well, but last night I forgot to take my usual dose and today I've felt SOOOOOO ill since lunchtime - dizzy, disorientated, sick, headachey and totally spaced out.

I've done this once before and it's horrible! Anyone else who's missed a dose - what's the best thing to do in that situation? Because I didn't want to take it when I remembered (at lunchtime) since it would be too close to my dose tonight, but is there anything else you can do to alleviate the symptoms?

I've given up and taken tonight's dose 4 hours early because I can't put up with the withdrawal symptoms any longer, I feel awful. But what's the best thing to do if I ever forget again?

Oh, and PLEASE - no-one copy and paste the instructions which come with the tablets........I know how they work, the side effects etc etc etc, I'm a doctor! I just want to know how other people deal with the side effects when they miss a dose.

Everyone discourages people who wants to try a long term fast. Why? There are healthy ways to fast and IT IS possible to break a fast without gaining back the weight you lost. So, WHY is fasting so frowned upon?

Do these non-fasters fail to do research on the things that they are so opinionated about?
Or, are the non-fasters just frustrated over their own lack of willpower?
What do you think?

I mean, are pierced ears permanent or does the hole eventually close up after not having the earring in for so long?

For the past few days, I've been applying lip gloss to my chapped lips and for some weird reason, they won't go away. Any ideas?

FOR THE RECORD: I went fishing with my dad last Saturday and my face was lightly sunburned.

When I was in the service they used to say that the best way was to shave 1/2 of you pubic hair, light the other half on fire and then stab them with a knife when they jump back over. Isn't there an easier method.

I am 33 and have anxiety. I no longer have insurance and i'm finding it so hard to just get thru my day. I have a 5 yr old and a 3 yr old I am constantly running after but my heart starts beating so hard I actually start coughing. It's constant.
I lost 160 pounds thru diet & exercise and exercise is a crucial part of my life now. I can't even do that anymore. My heart feels like it'll explode.
Please, if you have any calming suggestions, anything that will help me besides drugs, I would be forever greatful!
Thanks you,
Margaret
