Hi Guys,
Feeling very frustrated right now. 4 weeks ago the doctor added venlafaxine to my meds as the mirtazapine had been helping for a bit but I went really backwards with anxiety through the roof again.
A week at 37.5 then 3 weeks at 75 (it's about the same as 20 citalopram).
Near the beginning of week two I started noticing improvements and a few days after that I started sleeping really well (finally) and was still waking early but able to go back to sleep again.
Until Thursday past. Waking super early, severe dry mouth, nausea, needing to pee every half hour (this goes on until lunchtime) and all those other unpleasant feelings of tingles all over that sometimes are constant or may come in surges.
I'm feeling discouraged as there was a patch where I really felt this med was starting to work. Maybe it's just a blip but I'm on day 5 of that now.
I may have a bit of a virus (winter here) as my neck, throat and ears are all feeling tight/pressured and my fatigue has been off the charts. Though it's hard to get enough sleep when you wake early feeling so bad with anxiety.
Anyone else on their meds feel its working in the early stages and then it stops? Is it likely to kick in again!
This has been going on for months for me now and I just want things to improve!
