    Hi Hilda. I am feeling exactly the same! Have been on the 75mg extended release for 6 weeks tomorrow and I am very up and down with it. Feel really tired sometimes and the anxiety creeps back at other times. I have also been feeling very shaky so the doctor gave me Propranolol for that. I have an overactive thyroid too so I'may not sure what is causing my symptoms! The Propranolol makes me feel even more tired. I keep clinging to the hope that it can take up to 8 weeks for Venlafaxine to work. Hope it gets better for us both soon x
