[@esmeeh5822]

I’m so glad you’re posting more frequently... I’m sure I’m not the only one who can always count on you to remind me that ‘life goes on’... It’s so warming that you allow us into a snippet of your life. We’ll forever be rooting for you x

[@yourlocaltransboy7051]

Loved it! Did the audio stop at the end for anyone? X

[@oliviacheyne5443]

It stopped for me too

[@yourlocaltransboy7051]

Ah ok must just b a little issue with the sound. S’ok tho! Still an Amazing video 💕

[@dicloniusotakuchan7782]

I think she had to cut out some of the audio because of copy right

[@sophiedorrington]

your videos make me happier

[@laurenpreston9702]

I’m on venlafaxine and it’s worked quite well for me. I came off sertraline to go on it which worsened my OCD (undiagnosed at the time) a lot. The withdrawal effects of venlafaxine are horrible though (brain zaps, sickness etc) but that shouldn’t be a problem if you take it regularly and consistently. I love you lots Marie, keep fighting lovely x

[@taylormadetraining]

Venlafaxine was the first psychiatric med I was offered after I tried pretty much all of the SSRIs and I didn't react well to it at all, although I only took it one time. The immediate side-effects I got gave me a bit of a fright as it made me feel really weird and panicky, my pupils dilated etc.. I didn't take it again after that. My current psychiatrist has offered it as an option if my quetiapine on it's own doesn't work for me but I'm quite reluctant as I have a couple of friends from my STEPPS group for BPD who have said that the withdrawals are awful especially when trying to come off of it.. I've heard it described as withdrawals similar to those of coming off heroin so it's really put me off :( I guess medication reacts differently with everyone though so I really hope it helps you!

[@aubreyisaverage]

Aww I absolutely loved this video! I really like weekly vlogs and I hope you continue them. You come across as sooooo genuine which I love. Stay strong, love you Marie! xx

[@marieroseeee]

Thankyou so much Aubrey!! I wasn’t sure if people liked them, but the response has been soo good so I’ll be sure to carry them on! Hopefully get better too hahaha, love you girl! Thanks for your comment ❤️

[@itskiizzababy]

I'm on venlafaxine now and it works really well for me. I only get side effects if it gets too late in the day and i haven't taken it, i get brain zaps and stuff. When i went through a rough patch a few months ago, i thought i'd have to change meds, but it was increased instead and things improved again.

[@jessnicholas9239]

Hey Marie I love youuuu and your new tattoo

[@claramsw]

She has the most beautiful accent, I love it so much 😚💗

[@CG-fj7kh]

I was on venlafaxine for a while and as long as I was taking it I was fine(ish) I didn’t find that it helped much with my mood but my sleep improved when I was on it though probably too much - I was always tired and drinking made it worse so I wouldn’t recommend drinking on it. A massive massive problem for me though was the withdrawals - I could miss my dose by an hour and I would get extremely dizzy and have the weirdest brain zaps - they were almost unbearable. It’s not the sort of thing you can stop taking and I worried I may be on them for life because withdrawal from that drug is horrendous. I had enough and stopped taking them suddenly earlier this year and the weeks that followed were the worst - dizziness, insomnia, constant brain zaps and severe emotional instability. I cried uncontrollably and felt like I was going mad but I’m glad I pushed through because I’m off them now and will never take them again. My psychiatrist has given me quetiapine now and it is much better! x

[@krillrule99]

thanks for the comment - med switching is scary and these comments are shedding light on drugs that my psychiatrist is recommending and suggesting i consider or not consider so this helps, much thanks

[@charlottehooton6710]

Seeing ur vlogs being uploaded makes me so happy! I’m really struggling atm I feel everything is going downhill im so young to be feeling this low I’m 14! Xx

[@fiona_blair]

girl, you're the best xo

[@alliecary.]

giiiirl drop that skincare routine 😍

[@livwhitehead1773]

I have so much love for you. Your videos just calm me down when it’s a school night and I can’t sleep🥴❤️❤️

[@jessicawhite7328]

Finally watching this after coming out of the ICU and things have settled yay!! You’re the only person that can make me smile ❤️❤️

[@nataliaoledzka8704]

I'm currently on Venlafaxine and at my next appointment I'm gonna ask my psychiatrist for different meds. I was previously on Zoloft but needed something stronger so she put me on it, not a good idea tho... I have pretty bad side effects - feels like my head is about to explode, it's not pain but the feeling you have after a long day in a noisy environment, but to a severe degree where it's absolutely exhausting. Nausea pretty much every time i take it, my pupils are dialeted constantly, I don't sleep well (can't fall asleep, wake up several times during the night or just fall asleep for a few - usually around 4 hours and wake up very early in the morning). Also, I have no appetite. Doesn't even seem to help with my mood. I personally don't recomment but who knows, it might work for you.

[@sarahjo5570]

Wow this is crazy watching now. At the end when your dad comes in and you're happy and singing and then the audio cuts, like I know it was probably just copyright flagging or whatever but it gave me chills. Like it made it so meaningful like when you watch montages of people's lives. It was really cool but also a little spooky. Anyway, I miss you, hope you're doing okay

[@evablackburn9260]

L💘VE your vlogs 🌸 You have such a natural up lifting ora! Adore yours and Pip’s friendship. Keep doing you gals such gorgeous humans

[@mouserat]

i only took venlafaxine for a few days because of the side effects, i only had a few like the normal ones and pupils dilating sooo much but my eyes hurt and my vision was blurry and i started it when i was just about to go away for 2 weeks so i didn't want to keep taking it then but i just never took it again once i got back

[@ainedolley5438]

I've actually missed your vlogs so so much oml xxx

[@coralmore3568]

I’m on venlafaxine 225 (been on it for ~3 years). I will warn you that if you miss a day the withdrawal is notoriously horrible. So put an alarm on your phone! I take half my dose in the morning and half at night because when I bumped up to 225 I would get side effects as the dose started to wear off. I’m not sure if it’s helpful because I’ve been on it so long, I don’t really remember what it was like before. Good luck! I hope it helps

[@yourlocaltransboy7051]

Love you Marie! Love these kind of videos. Hope you’re feeling a bit better xxx You’re amazing and you’re doing great. Keep fighting 💕

[@eadaoinokeeffe4538]

I've been on venlafaxine for a good couple of months now and I'm on a small dose of lexapro aswell, but neither of them seem to be working for me. Night sweats is probs the WORST side effect I'm still dealing with but when I first started venlafaxine the immediate side effects I noticed were dilated pupils and headaches. I haven't really gotten any other side effects apart from that but sweating is the WORST. Love you lots xx

[@kelseyreid9338]

i missed your vlogs so so so much they always cheer me up❤️

[@krillrule99]

your dog is so, so, so cute ❤️love the vlog! i’m quite late, but your videos & vlogs always make my day a bit better ☺️

[@lenasus7625]

omggg this vlog just brightened up my whole week !!!!

[@Raych3kinzX]

Hey!! really enjoyed watching your vlog!! thanks for posting. I'm on Venlafaxine and i have found it really helpful compared to ones i have been on before. The only thing i've noticed with it is that if i miss a day (due to be hungover and not wanting to vomit it back up :p) i feel incredibly dizzy and light headed. But besides that, its a thumbs up form me. Can't wait to watch more weekly vlogs, all my love, Rach xx

[@fredthehorse]

I was on venlafaxine for about 2 years(?) & it really helped with my anxiety tbh but it didn't suit me in that it fucked up my cholesterol(?) so I had to go off it. I did have side effects when I first started it (nausea for a day or two etc) but not many or very difficult side effects that lasted long. the only thing was that I had weird twitches in my arms and legs every once in a while? but it wasn't a bothersome side effect, just kind of funny tbh. it was the first medication I was ever put on, so I just found it by my doctor recommending it. so yes; the first week or so was rough but it really did help. do check up on your cholesterol & other levels if you use it for a long period of time though, since it can alter them. I hope it works for you!

[@victoriaallen8088]

I'm on venlafaxine and It doesn't really help me it gives me headaches, makes me drowsy and in the last few weeks have started to make me feel really weird like I'm constantly wired and can't sit still but I'm on a. Mix of mitzapine and now aripiprizole which makes me so anxious and has increased my symptoms more than ever I'm constantly on edge . I just wanted to say you have helped me so much and made me feel not so alone and your an inspiration thank you so much for sharing your MH journey 😘

[@justmai2476]

We've been on the exact same meds; Mirt and Aripriprazole! I'm on Venlafaxine now. How do you feel on and off them?

[@victoriaallen8088]

JustMai I feel awful constantly anxious and on edge , and I’ve only been on this mixture for 2 weeks but my symptoms are worse at the minute how about you ?

[@julluetulle]

I looove the vlogs, even if it’s just you saying that you’re going to work. Also I like the shoes, they would look great with some black pants and the leopard belt! Xx

[@connercaiola2868]

I've been on 225mg of venlafaxine for like 2 years after getting really bad anxiety attacks from fluoxetine and it works great for me. I don't get any side effects on it but I will say if I miss a dose or two then it has pretty bad withdrawl symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and light headedness. It kind of feels like like I'm about to pass out every few minutes for just a split second (I've never actually fainted, just felt like I would). But as long as you stay consistent with it and never try to stop it cold turkey than it works great :).

[@luciejustshutup]

I’ve been on venlafaxine, I’d say it’s probably the best antidepressant I’ve taken (I’ve tried most them: sertraline, flouroxotine, sitalopran etc) the only thing is it really numbs you a little and stops you from feeling stuff? That was kind of why I went to on it to control intense emotions etc but it felt a bit weird not being able to cry or anything. Also the only side effect which really effected me was if I ever forget to take it, it made me feel SO ILL, like really bad migraines, flu like symptoms, this was the same when I came off it but if I took it daily it was fine and the withdrawal symptoms pass! Overall a generally good one tho😊 I can’t speak for everyone, this is my personal experience with it but I hope maybe I helped a little! xx

[@kelseyreid9338]

i always click so fast when i get notifs for your vids😂❤️

[@oliviahegarty1959]

Could honestly just watch you all day💞

[@evecoates3261]

Venlafaxine is the only antidepressant that works for my whole family, when I had it I had no side effects and it did work well. I’m actually looking into trying to be put back on it x

[@kiadavies2692]

You absolutely gorgeous and so inspirational x

[@hxpnxs]

i love the tattoo!! looks rly pretty 👌🏼 + your vlogs are so good, + i really like how long they are! i also hope the meds work alright.

[@TashaRoberts]

Luc made this vlog 👌🏼😂😂😂😂 love you gal 💘

[@beccaburney976]

Venlaflaxine is the best med I've tried so far! None of the v scary mental side effects and none of the weird jittery physical side effects either, bc I've definitely felt that with others. I'd say it's much slower working though than others I've tried, like it took a few months for me to have good benefits but definitely worth it in the end for me! It doesn't feel really powerfully drugs and chemically if that makes sense? I liked that, but it's different for everyone of course! It gives me the WORST hangovers tho lol 😂 All my love and support as always ❤️ u r so fab x

[@daynajadex4993]

Find so many good songs from your videos that I didn’t know before😂 love your new tattoo. Thinking of getting a semi colon myself.Last tattoo I got I told my mum and Dad it’s not that big👀it goes from my shoulder to my elbow😆and my Mum was wondering why it took over 3 and a half hours😂 💁🏼‍♀️. I love yours and pip’s friendship it’s the cutest. + where are your lights that are on your wall from? ++love you marie :)💚

[@beckyf4503]

I was on venlafaxine for a few months, I was on the highest dose but still didn’t think it helped at all and it made me so dizzy and queasy :( really hope it works for you I know side effects are a very individual thing! ❤️❤️ ps I love your weekly vlogs, hate the shoes though...😄😭😉

[@biancahamilton1971]

Becca S -This was exactly what I felt when I was on venlafaxine. It made me nauseous all the time and people around me told me I looked like a space cadet because I was constantly spaced out and it felt like my brain was full of fog.

[@biancahamilton1971]

Also, my sleep was destroyed when I went on venlafaxine. I was getting about an hour a night which was making everything else much more difficult.

[@CJ-zz7uu]

My friend had great success on that med. Me I had every side effect (apart from the guy one 😂) & was bed bound for two months till I went cold turkey. I guess it’s like all meds, it works for some but not others. Hopefully it’ll be a great help for you xxx

[@Mayydayy]

are you saying venlafaxine? aha because ive been on that and it was pretty okay exept the drowsiness, dizziness and headaches. so pretty normal like other anti anythings aha though its kind of better because it doesnt make you want to eat everything in sight like other meds. it did take a few days forr my body to get uded to it i think so i felt quite nauseous and ill for the first couple days. it didnt work too well for me though as it didnt really help my depression so it was pretty pointless xx idk if this will help but yeah x

[@hjc9114]

Nice video :) I've recently had a relapse into bad anxiety and depression, trying to dig my way out xx

[@chloeellis1980]

loved this!! also loveeee your tattoo x

[@maddiehaley4982]

i am on venalaflaxine (idk how to spell it lol) i was also on trazadone which also made me feel sick. i didnt have any side effects other than a little tired but it made me feel better mentally.

[@annelibale2590]

I can relate to the getting of random tattoos - i got a whole sleeve done i cant afford and now im strapped in to paying £300 for 3 hours per session and i obviously have to finish it now lol shit whoops - yours is little and cute and meaningful !!

Omg where’s the pink coat you were wearing from?

[@julluetulle]

Really wanna know too, it was lovely

[@Bindybee130]

I'm on venlafaxine after trying 10+ other antidepressants, i personally get less side effects from it than i do from some other meds which is nice :)

[@amyward108]

Good vlog it was cute at the end x

[@lauradoerflinger3]

I was on Venlafaxin and got bruises on my whole legs. That's why I stopped taking it. Side effects were not as bad as I had it with Escitalopram, but I took Venlafaxin right after Lexapro so that reduced side effects probably. But Venlafaxin actually worked. If that bruises wouldn't have had terrified me that much I would still take it.

[@oliviahegarty1959]

I use be on venlavaxen for a few years, started off on 70mg but went up to 140 after a bit. I've been on a good few ssri but found venlavaxen one of the best☺️ there wasnt many obvious side effects apart from the usual fucked up sleep for a bit but yea in general I found it worked really well for me x

[@taylormadetraining]

Don't mean to be rude in correcting you but venlafaxine is an SNRI, not an SSRI.. different band of antidepressants from sertraline, fluoxetine etc :)

[@oliviahegarty1959]

Lucy Taylor sorry I get them mixed up😅 you're not being rude at all, thanks for correcting me x

[@maddysontiffani7700]

First❤️❤️

[@lauranygren3895]

I have been on venlafaxine for over a year now, i started it at 75mg and now i am taking 150mg. At first shit got crazy i was so depressed the first two weeks (thank god i was in a psychward) but then it got normal again and i didn't really feel anything? It basically smooths out my mood swings so it's okay i guess. It goes well with voxtra! Ps sorry if i have bad english lmao

[@sarahcuda7096]

I hate venlafaxine; it made no difference for me and if I skip it one day, I get bad withdrawal effects. I'm trying to come off it because I don't like it that much.

[@lanaroberts9929]

Ahhh I hated velnafaxine, made me feel so weird!! Had a weird reaction to it. Going on quetiapine soon...have you tried that at all?
