Advice on VEN please

[ian6989]

Hi everyone I have been on venlafaxine for 3 weeks now at 75mg and recently upped to 150mg (3 days ago)
Does anyone no when I should feel a difference
Do I have to wait another 4-6 weeks at the 150mg
Many thanks

Hi, I started ven 6 weeks ago 37.5 twice a day but have just changed to the 75 mg XR. I believe when you increase it's like starting again from week one, but any side effects should be less
Hope this helps

I am about to start 37.5 twice a day. Did you find them easy to start, Lan69? Any side effects? If so, how long? Why did you change to the XR?
Thanks

The only thing I noticed was dilated pupils, slight nausea first thing, a bit dizzy and not sleeping as long but they have all gone now. I changed to XR as I read good reports of it on here and my pharmacist said it was better
