Hi all. This is my first post on here but I've been mooching around the site for years. I've been on 75mg vanlafaxine more on than off for around ten years after a breakdown at 20 after my son was born. I have long periods when I seem to get a long fine but in January this year I had a bit of a setback after a stressful time, anxiety through the roof. I got through it with medication and cbt and life was back to normal. I went on holiday recently not a relaxing one! left my son home too and it all came back to bite me. The doc thinks I've knocked myself off balance a bit, I don't like flying, stressful holiday and routine change (my big issue). He has upped my venlafaxine to 2 a day to be reviewed in a month. I'm a bit wary as I've always got by before, I also know from experience how hard they are to stop (not keen on having even more). I forgot to ask him when to take them. I currently take one in the morning, so should I take the other at night or also in the morning? Any advice appreciated :)
