Dear Linzi,
Putting up the dose doesn't always mean an improvement in well-being. In any case 2 weeks is too soon to know either way.
I thought going up to 45mg would ease my symptoms, but with hindsight it didn't, in fact it made my anxiety much worse. My GP said that as you get older symptoms become less responsive to treatment. So he upped my Venlafaxine as well!! This also didn't help and I resigned myself to feeling worse as I got older.
It was reading accounts of experiences on this site that made me realise there were better times ahead.
Soon after I reduced the dose I began to feel better.
Speak to your GP you may be better on something else.
Hi there,
I think you can go down to 30mg, it's ok I advise you to take melatonin together it's worked for me very well.
Hope you get better soon.
Sometimes that depression is tricky because I was like you the last week.
