Re: from citalopram to venafaxine good stories please !!!
Well I've been taking 37.5 twice a day. I've now started on 75mg in the morning and after a week will try taking this in the evening too... So back to 150mg. I find the lower dose just dumbs me down a little but doesn't tackle motivation and depression. Will see how it goes. Really trying to keep on top of my appetite and potential weight gain as one of my daughters gets married in May, and I just CANNOT put on weight! xx

Hello there.... I shall take a break from my rather obsessive game playing... lol
Haven't stuck with the increase at the moment so am back to the 75 mg per day (in two doses). Not too bad thanks. I'm glad to hear that others seem ok too?
Happy Easter to you all XXX

Re: from citalopram to venafaxine good stories please !!!
Hi all,
Things are still ok here. Having a restful weekend and looking forward to a week off. Relaxing with a glass of wine, trying to find something to watch on tv but there's nothing on all the hundreds of channels - I'm sure there used to be more on when there were just four.
I hope everyone's ok.
Kate - why did you decide to drop back to 75mg? I'm still on that dose and it seems to work well for me. One of the side effects of ven is weight loss not weight gain so you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
Pink - when do you go and see the physiatrist?
Nicola and Lou - I hope you're both ok.
Take care
Pip xxx
Re: from citalopram to venafaxine good stories please !!!
If I'm being honest, taking medication scares me. I think I'm always looking for the lowest dose with the view that I can get off them quicker.
Also, I did find with the higher dose that it caused insomnia in me, and actually I read about this yesterday ( not about ME lol,but that the higher doses can cause insomnia ).
At the moment the 75 is ok and I think I'm really expecting too much from medication. xx
