Hi
I was wondering if anyone could help or offer some advice.
I have been on citalopram for about two years for anxiety and PMDD. for the last few months I have been on 60mg and over the last month I have gradually changed over to venlafaxine (vensir xl slow release capsules) as the citalopram wasn't working very well anymore.
When I was on citalopram I never had any problems sleeping usually but for the last few weeks since changing I am having loads of problems getting to sleep. I wouldn't mind so much, but I have two kids (aged 14 and 16) and I work full time so this is really getting me down. It's now 2.30 am and I have a two hour journey at 7am for an all day meeting and I know I'll be exhausted. But here I am, wide awake, I could cry.
I'm really sorry if this is too long and boring anyone but I would be really grateful for any help or advice, or if anyone has had any similar experiences.
Thank you
