staring on a new Med
I was wondering if others have tried Venlafaxine. And what they have thought of it.
I have to stop my citalopram, then go on these.
Anything will be helpful
Thanks

I have not tried Venlafaxine but from what I have heard from others it is good. Just watch for side effects.

Re: staring on a new Med
Hey, Ms. qwerky
Here are the Medsafe Links to their Consumer Medications Information Sheets on Venlafaxine, which is also known as Efexor Tablet (from Wyeth (NZ) Ltd & as Efexor-XR Modified release capsule (from Pharmacy Retailing (NZ) Ltd t/a Healthcare Logistics):
http://www.medsafe.govt.nz/Consumers/cmi/discontinued/Efexortab.htm and
http://www.medsafe.govt.nz/Consumers/cmi/e/Efexor-xr.htm
The really Great News about any and all of these Meds, is that its not compulsory to have any of the 'side effects' so whilst its a good idea to maybe save these Linsk etc and refer to them from time to time, I wouldn't get too bogged down in any 'effect' list.
Yep, someone has to show signs of some of them I guess, but there ain't nothing that says you have to. Many users don't exhibit of have side effects from any of the meds - lucky sods.
Paddy.

Re: staring on a new Med
Please bare with me for the next few weeks, i'm completely off meds now, so might be a bit over the top? but will be on the next ones this time next week.
So what i'm saying i suppose, is please be patient.
Thanks

Venlafaxine is so far the only medication I have not been able to tolerate. It gave me nausea and a bloated feeling that simply didn't go away.
But as Paddy says, everybody responds differently.

Re: staring on a new Med
Hey Qwerks I have been on Venlafaxine and I didn't have a lot of side effects, it just didn't work for me. I do know a few people that are on it and they have had great results so I hope you will be one of these people and that it works out for you. Good luck!

Re: staring on a new Med
I don't want to be here. i'm a waste of SPACE and time. I don't deserve to have my job, they should find someone more capable.
I deserve to rot and and die. That is what I want to do. I don't want to live any longer, it's not worth it.
I'm never going to be happy, i'm never going to get the trust back from where i work at the moment.
F**K my life

Re: staring on a new Med
thank you
well i'm going to have a week off work.
I have been prescribed lorazepam to help my symptoms and help the anxiety.
I get to start my Venlafaxine 2 days earlier.
So hopefully all of this will help

Re: staring on a new Med
i think i'm going to go the the hospital for a couple of days to be looked after.
only thinking that because if I was at home i'd be worse of ...
1. Because i'd be by myself
2. I'd sleep all day
3. I might not be able to keep my thoughts at bay
4. The doc sugessted it this morning, and I flatly said no, when it would be the best thing, until I start my new meds on Friday at least.
