Thank you for the info. I have read several of the lengthy chronicles here where people, who have already been on venlafaxine long-term, experience distressing anxiety even when modestly increasing their dose. So - if desvenlafaxine has an advantage in this area I will certainly discuss it with my GP, if things come to that.
Thanks again. For those who might be interested, I will eventually post an update here as to whether escitalopram or something else works.
