[T733]The Side Effects Of Alcohol

by Angie Shiflett, Ang

Many individuals are prescribed Effexor XR. This medication is normally issued to individuals who suffer from the effects of general anxiety disorders, depression, and even panic attacks. If you have recently been prescribed this medication, or you are considering talking to your doctor about taking this prescription pill, it is important that you know the side effects that are generally associated with it. It is also important to know and understand what side effects should concern you. Here, you will learn just that!

Step 1

The first thing that you should understand is that this medication should be taken with food at all times. This will help to reduce the possibility of uncomfortable side effects. In addition to this, the pill should always be taken as a whole and never broken apart in any way whatsoever. If you are the type of individual that experiences complications in swallowing pills, you may sprinkle the pill into a bowl of applesauce and mix it thoroughly. Once this is completed, you may consume the bowl of applesauce. Many also drink a cup of milk while eating the applesauce if medication is mixed into it.

Step 2

It is also important that you understand that Effexor XR may become addictive. This is why a doctor will provide you with an initial dose and then gradually increase the dosage over time. For this reason, you should take the medication exactly as prescribed. If you fail to do so, you may experience standard withdrawal symptoms. If you are interested in reducing your dosage so that you may eventually cease taking this medication, speak directly with your doctor before doing so. Signs of withdrawal from Effexor XR may include the following symptoms:

Vomiting

Nausea

Mild to Severe Headaches

Nightmares

Tingling in the extremities and the face

Numbness in the body

Mood Swings

Step 3

Standard side effects of Effexor XR include one or more of the following:

Extreme drowsiness

General weakness

Blurred and/or double vision

Irregular bowel movements

Insomnia

Dizziness

Sweating

Dry Mouth

Lack of appetite

Headaches

Step 4

Many individuals may experience more severe side effects when taking Effexor XR. These include:

High blood pressure

Migraines

Severe mood swings

Fainting

Shaking

Decreased libido

Suicidal thoughts

Bladder complications

Muscle weakness

If any severe side effects occur, it is vital that you seek medical attention immediately.

When you consider any activity, or drug, there are usually some side effects, over long-term use, but how often are the side effects negative? Maybe more than half of the time, we anticipate a negative side effect. Consider this: There are only positive side effects, which occur from Yoga practice.

Stress becomes manageable, internal conflicts are reduced, and you develop complete clarity through Yoga practice. The most valuable aspects of Yoga are enhanced mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

Meditation is one the most important Yogic methods, because this practice eliminates confusion, frustration, and internal or external conflicts. The Yoga practitioner, who meditates on a regular basis, finds a state of bliss and a newfound self-awareness. Meditation is a complete "tune up" for the emotional and mental planes of our existence. Regular meditation sessions will yield a sound mind.

A balanced mind will function in harmony with the body. With the emotional, mental, and physical planes of existence working smoothly, a Yoga practitioner will be more likely to achieve spiritual growth. Some will ask, "Does this mean Yoga will make you better than everyone else?"

In answer to that question - Let's say: As a result of Yoga practice, you should live a longer, happier, and healthier life. To claim superiority to others; would defeat the true purpose of the Yogic way of life. If we have the desire to truly help others see the value in Yoga, we must be humble examples of our lifestyle.

The moment the ego takes control of our actions, we are not present for our practice. If we are truly "in the moment," we can feel inner peace and tranquility. Your optimum mental state of tranquility can be felt by any other person who comes into contact with you.

On the other hand, the ego fuels arrogance, which will not enable us to help others. It is not possible to be diplomatic and arrogant at the same time. Please remember that every form of conflict is a choice. If we let the ego run our lives, we are not living much differently from a dog who proudly displays his or her tail high in the air.
