Hi Fliss,

Welcome.

Has the venlaflaxine helped your depression at all ?

What other sort of help have you had ?

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.

Hi Fliss !

Welcome to NMP! I have not heard of the medication your own, but I do understand how the panics can feel worse when medication is increased. I think Increased panics when upping the dosage can happen for a short while, I would speak to your GP and maybe consider a beta blocker to help with the symptoms until the panic subsides a little


Good luck and hope it gets better for you soon
