Hi I've been prescribed venlafaxine 75 and I'm finding that it makes me feel very wired , and kinda struggling with it because I'm a truck driver.

My question is could I half the tablets to 37.5 to try and ease the side effects ? Any help with this would be great.

Also I suffer with the dreaded headfog and a pins and needles sensation in my head if I'm not taking anti depressants , does anyone have a way of stopping these horrible sensations without being on antidepressants??? , I'm in the uk 🇬🇧 btw
