Hi everyone, please could anyone give me information on how they feel when taking Venlafaxine. I have been on it for nearly 6 years and every time i try to reduce the dose when i feel confident to come down, my anxiety goes into overdrive. I have now gone right bk up onto the dose i was on at the very beginning. I still dont feel right. Ive tried everything. i am now currently on 75mg and 37.5mg in the morning and 37.5mg in the evening.
Any advice would be great xx

Hi i am only 2 weeks into taking ven and i'm finding it quite goos, did take citalopram for 15 months before that,

as for the withdrawal effects, i would speak to your gp, as it should be done very slowly and under supervision.. all the best xx
