Hi Everyone
I started on Venlaflexine about 8 weeks ago. Started on 37.5mg then moved to 75mg. Nausea and everything has settled apart from the very shaky hands, I feel much calmer and any anxiety is in the background, almost like it's happening to someone else.
The only thing is I am exhausted and really sleepy all the time, I even fell asleep at my desk this week - it didn't go down well:blush: Lots of people keep commenting on how I look so tired. My kids love it because on the days I collect them from school we snuggle on the sofa watching TV and I have a little sleep, they normally have to wake me to make their dinner - not ideal but they're happy:yesyes: A couple of times I've felt I shouldn't be driving I am so sleepy. I sleep OK at night, not brilliantly and sometimes my son wakes me beacuse he has nightmares, my husband usually gets up to him. I usually manage to sleep to around 5am then the brain starts and that's it.
Has anyone else had problems like this? I hate keep going to the doctors but am worried about this carrying on for too long. I have no energy. 3 months ago I ran a half marathon, I couldn't run to catch the bus at the moment. I look terrible, feel terrible and just want to go back to bed!
HELP ME!!!
