[Malcolm Tucker]

name of med: Efexor XR 187.5mg/day (Venlafaxine Hydrochloride; A commonly-used SNRI, used to treat major depressive episodes, anxiety, among other things); Difene 150mg/day, taken as two 75mg capsules per day (Diclofenac; VERY common NSAID)

why are you on this med: I take Efexor for my problems with depression, but will probably be put on antipsychotics soon too. I take the Difene to help with the pain in my jaw, as I have TMJD (Transmandibular Joint Disorder)

what are the sideaffects: Efexor - nausea, sexual disfunction, lethargy, among many, MANY others. Difene - nausea is the main one really, as far as I know. I know more about Psychiatric Medicines than I do about others.

do you have any brothers or sisters: No

do you want to hurt yourself or others:

This question intrigued me. It seems to me that you are posting the survey, based on the side-affects question above, to see if anyone on the same/similar medication as yourself have wanted to hurt themselves or others. That's just me making mountains out of molehills, though. [/Dr. House moment]

That's besides the point, but while I'm not giving my own individual answer, whatever the circumstances if you feel like you are going to hurt yourself or others, then without a doubt you should seek help as soon as possible! I'd talk to someone you can trust about it, and also go seek medical help, be it your GP/Family Practitioner, or if needs be the A&E/ER of your local hospital. There are also countless phone lines through which you can talk to people.

If you like the entire site is here to help and support you, just give one of us a shout and be assured you'll be listened to.

Take care and be safe,
M
