Anyone on venlafaxine

please help with advice

Hi linda tonight i will start on this new medication and from what ive heard it does work with anxiety and panic attacks so i will keep you posted Helga

thankyou so much

I am. I've been on it for over 15 years.

yes i am whats wrong?

i wondering how long you been on them and do you rate them

thankyou for your message ive only been on it 5 weeks

how are you feeling on it now helga

Been on them about 8 months nows seem ok better then Setraline

In what way is venlafaxine better than sertraline. i was thinking of giving venlafaxine a try whats it like.

Dont get massive sweats like i did in sertraline

9 weeks on 150mg it's fixed my depression. initial side effects were headaches and probably worse anxiety and depression, but definitely worth staying the course. Wanted to post some positive news, having lurked and taken hope from these posts for the last 5 months when I felt that I wouldn't bounce back.

How are you doing on it now ?

Depression has really improved. Still in the monitoring phase and will review dose in about a month. Anxiety was actually my main issue and I understand it takes longer to work on that.
