    I was on the same meds prescribed by my private psychiatrist. Also put on distensan while i was allready taking mirtazapine. Went to emergencies and apart from me not supposed to take the venlafaxine because of taking blood thinners and having high blood presure he also told me that the venlafaxine produced to much energy in relation of adrenaline and weird sensatiins in my head. He took me off m straight away and gave me citalopram and a muscle relaxcant. I was over nervous. Very fatigued my mind was racing and was crying histirically a lot. Seems i have calmed down a lot since. Xx

    Hi, there's no harm in crying. It's God's gift to healing so there may be memories of things that are from your past working its way out of your system.You don't say what dose you re on or whether its a slow realease capsule or a fast release tablet. I've been on venlafaxine for years and its saved my life. Maybe you should talk aout whether you need to go up a dose
