Hi All! Hope everyone has been having a great day. Just a quick question please, I am on the 10th week on 100mg and still feeling a lot of hopelessness, still getting waves of sadness/depression/ still feeling sick and spaced out during the day. Afternoons/evenings/nights are better, also noticed that I have 2 easier days every week which I didnt have before. My psychiatrist says I should switch medication because this is quite poor improvement, no point to wait more time. Anybody felt this way around 10 weeks after the increase and got better later please?
Hi I have been on venlafaxine slow release for at least 10 years now, I can only take the slow release ones, I do remember taking a few weeks before things started to make a difference but I have over the last 12 months been on 375mg seems everytime I try and lower them my mood dips drastically, but I don’t get any side effects on these, withdrawals are really pretty bad tho. I would see how you feel after 3 months and ask for increase rather than change. Wishing you well, Sue
