Hi Guys

I have been on Venlafaxine for just over 22 days and Citalopram for 3 weeks before this.

The first 14 days on Venlafaxine were a little tough (the 3 weeks on Citalopram weren't particularly nice either!) with increased Anxiety/Depression, headaches, nausea, feeling zoned out and exhaustion etc. Most of the side effects have now passed and I am starting to feel some real benefits.

I'm presently on 75mg instant release taken at 9.00am and my psych wants me to increase to 150mg slow release.

My questions are; has anyone else changed from 75mg instant to 150mg slow release and if so does (a) the increase to 150mg come with side effects and (b) does a change from instant to slow release come with side effects.

Thanks
