Hi Pink dove I am on venlefaxine 37.5mg twice daily. It has taken 8 weeks to really work and for me to feel ok. I couldn't have done it without sleeping tablets and diazepam. I seemed to have all the side effects listed on the sheet..nausea, dry mouth. pins and needles etc but by far the worst was the anxiety and panic attacks and the agitation sometimes lasting on and off all day..thats when I resorted to the diazepam. This gradually helped and although it makes me tired I'd rather that than the panic. It also helped listening to relaxation tapes (Paul McKenna ) which I did everyday. I kept a diary and listed all the things I could do which I used as a mantra each day. Everytime bad thoughts crept in I tried to turn them into positives. Eventually the low mood got less and less and the panic has subsided. I feel strong and I look in the mirror and tell myself that. I have had constant support from my husband and daughter throughout all of this and I am so thankful. Good luck to everyone suffering its awful I know but you will suceed and trust the tablets and time x
annip that is fantastic news , always great to read positive stories, really hope you continue to feel well, and i know your post will help loads of people who are starting out on ven.
i am getting there now as well, having more good spells, 4 weeks into the increased dose 150mg, i should settile on that, and get more from it according to my pysciatrist.
well done you for sticking it out, and finding your way back to normality xx :hugs:
Great to hear positive stories.
Lou, thinking of you and your loss. No matter how old, or ill, it always hurts.... xxxx
Sorry to hear that Lou, sending you :hugs: xx
Hi Lou,
You have my deepest sympathies and a big hug is coming your way :bighug1:
Even when it's expected, it doesn't make it any easier, I know. Just remember all the lovely times you spent together and that a part of him will always live on through you because of the influence he had on you. Our grandparents may be gone (all mine are) but they're never forgotten.
Take care

another not to bad day for me, weather is so drab raining and dull, just want some sunshine, i'm not expecting miracles on this ext release tab, but i do think is giving me a smoother day, not so many up's and down's.
how is everyone else xx
Hi all,
Good to see you're doing ok Pink. I'm fine today - very busy at work and that's always good for me as it keeps me distracted. A bit tired though so time for an early(ish) night.
Take care
