Ive posted my history about my anxiety before.
To make this as brief as possible I was on 75mg of venlafaxine for 8 weeks, felt no improvement so my pdoc upped it to 150mg and that was 7 weeks ago.
Altogether ive been on this med for 15 weeks, with more low days than high days.
How long do you give a med before you throw the towel in?
My pdoc told me these meds were ones that are prescribed when other AD's dont work (ive previoulsy tried prozac, which always worked for me for the past 10 years but didnt this time and mirtazapine, which stopped working) Im going to see my pdoc again on Monday, and i dont want him/her to fob me off by saying give it another couple of weeks.
Has anyone taken longer than 15 weeks to see an improvement?
thanks for listening
