I just started taking Venlafaxine the other day and I'm noticing that my chest is getting more numb and tight every day. It's even giving me a bit of pain and makes it hard to breathe sometimes. I've heard I shouldn't just stop taking it because of withdrawal issues. Are these symptoms something that usually happens, or is something wrong? And if I decide to stop it soon since I just started, would I still go through withdrawals?

View allI'm finding that sometimes I'm just fine and everything's normal, but then out of nowhere, I get really hyper and act rudely to people around me. Right after that, I feel super uncomfortable and just want to be alone for a while. Its like I cant stop thinking too much about even the smallest things, and it really hurts. What could be going on with me?

I'm having trouble with shortness of breath that's been around for about three years, and sometimes I also feel a bit of chest pain on the right side. I went to see a chest physician who did an X-ray and said everything looked normal. He suggested I should see a psychiatrist because it could be tension-related. I'm feeling a bit lost here. Is there really a connection between tension and these physical symptoms? Should I still consider pursuing more tests for my breathing issues?
yes,visit your foe appropriate management

I've got a really tough situation where I just can't fall asleep without masturbating. It feels like it's become a habit I can't shake, and it's starting to worry me. I've tried exercising a lot to tire myself out, hoping it'll help me sleep better, but it doesn't seem to work. Is there something I can do to change this pattern? Any advice would be really appreciated.
Establish a bedtime routine that promotes relaxation and better sleep. You can try incorporating activities such as reading a book, taking a warm bath, or practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation before bed. Additionally, you may benefit from speaking with a therapist or counselor to address any underlying issues that may be contributing to this habit. In some cases, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be helpful in changing behaviors and thought patterns.
