Re: Raised Anxiety after starting Ven
Hey all! Hello! Well, I had a really good two weeks, but am currently in a bit of a blip, brought on by work stress/family stuff, I think. Just riding it out as best as I can. I'm still on 75mg XR Venlafaxine, this is 4 months now, just gonna sit here and hope to stabilise a bit. It's tough, coping with anx/dep and trying to navigate life in general. Doing daily meditation to try to lower stress levels. Gonna try to incorporate some daily yoga in the new year.
I find I still have some quite crazy dreams on the Ven, Macca. Does this ever let up, do you think?
Re: Raised Anxiety after starting Ven
I would like to say yes it does but for me sleep is an issue at the moment but remember I am on Max dose of Ven and only recently came off Mirtazapine so that is a factor. Problem with the nasty dreams is that I dont come out of them like I used to they last ages or seem to so woke up in a sweat the other night after a bad one.
I think it will let up, I just need to give it time.
Re: Raised Anxiety after starting Ven
I hope your all ok.
Wishing you all a restful Christmas and that the new year brings peace.
Re: Raised Anxiety after starting Ven
Same to you Maca and I hope everyone is doing well and that next year is a better one than 2019!
Re: Raised Anxiety after starting Ven
Merry Christmas to you all. Wishing you a happy and healthy 2020 x

Re: Raised Anxiety after starting Ven
Yey, same to you lets hope we have a better year.
Re: Raised Anxiety after starting Ven
Still plodding along and have GP appointment Tuesday so I will suggest we stay on same dose. Mirtatazpine has now been out of my system for about a month with no major problems but it has affected my sleep so might be worth asking if 15mg at night be an option.
Hope we are all doing ok.
Re: Raised Anxiety after starting Ven
Very quiet here so I hope that this is due to you all feeling a little better. Everything is as stable as its going to get so I am able to function and although anxiety is in the background I can shrug it off much easier. Looking forward to spring so I can get out in the garden. Work has been a life saver for me I dont think I have ever looked forward to going to work in my life.
Hope to hear your all doing ok.
Re: Raised Anxiety after starting Ven
Hey Macca, yes , doing okay. Finally after nearly 6 months on the Venlafaxine, am stable. Minimal anxiety. Life is good! How are you?
