Venlafaxine

I've been on this for over a month now and I still feel awful. I've had enough of this now and don't feel I will get any better so would just like to thank you all for your help but don't see any point in going on.

It sounds like these meds just aren't for you, it’s not up to your doctor whether you keep taking them or not - it is up to you.

Ask the doctor about tapering off, or would it be acceptable to just stop (seeing as the side effects are so bad and you’ve only been on them a month). Good luck xxx

I know most meds normally take longer than a month to show real effect, but like Nel, I think that with the horrible side effects you've experienced, it's time to go back to the doc and try something else.
Good luck!
