Hello, is it possible that after the drugs Velaxin and Bioxetin I have very volatile moods? They change almost every second, which makes me very tired... Could it be that the body simply wants to adapt? Thank you in advance for your answer, greetings :-)

Medications like Velaxin (venlafaxine) and Bioxetin (fluoxetine) can cause mood swings because they act on neurotransmitters in the brain.
Velaxin is a serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). This medicine may cause mood changes, especially at the beginning of treatment, as your body adjusts to the medicine. Side effects can include mood swings, irritability, anxiety, and even increased symptoms of depression.
Bioxetin is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). As with venlafaxine, mood swings may occur at the start of treatment or when changing the dose. Fluoxetine may also cause agitation, insomnia, or restlessness, which may affect mood swings.
If the observed side effects are associated with too much discomfort and you are unable to function normally, you should consult a doctor.
