Hi all

Just posted my first post in the intro forum so some more background there if anyone is interested!

I have been on Propranolol 80mg for a couple of years now and have just been prescribed Venlafaxine MR (Effexor XL) 75mg because the GAD is still there.

Have them here but haven't taken the first one yet, just a bit worried out taking them as they have a lot of negative feedback - but I guess everything has it's good and bad side and reading the Propranolo forum there is a fair amount of bad feedback there and I didn't think twice about starting those.

Guess I'm just looking for a bit of reassurance, and guidance - will read this forum to try and get an idea of the best time to take etc.

Will try and post my day by day experiences here.

Matt
