been on 150mg venlafaxine for 7 weeks, still have anxiety but my thought was to stay on it until 12 weeks to really see the full benefits, but my sleep has become quite poor on ven so the doctor has prescribed me a low dose of 7.5 mg of mirt. I hope this can also contribute to easing my anxiety relief and im wondering if it takes a long time for it to do so? i know the sleep part had an immediate effect but it would be nice not to have to rely on alprazolam to feel ok during the day.
