Hi guys!

I’ve been a pretty anxious person my whole life, but two years ago things got really bad.

I was diagnosed with TMJ Disorder, which in turn caused me to have excruciating IBS symptoms and symptoms of LPR (Silent Reflux).

Since then, I’ve changed meds going from Citalopram to Lexapro to now Venalafaxine 150 mg. I also was prescribed Effexor on an as needed basis. 

While I’m happy to say my stress levels have gone down, they’re still to the point that my IBS and LPR symptoms are bad enough that I’m thinking I might need a change in either dosage or medication completely. 

It doesn’t help I just moved to a new city too, so I have had to start all over finding a new psychiatrist. 

Obviously I know most of us are not doctors, but for those of you who might relate to what I’m going through, what helped medication wise for you? 

I know everybody’s body is built differently, but I am just curious what is helping people. 

Thank you! :)
