Hi I have been on venal faxing since the beginning of December, started at 75mg upped to 150mg. It got me out of a dark depression however, seemed anxiety kicked in at 150mg. I had some really good days on 150mg. I then upped it by another 37.5mg, which worked great for one week. I really felt back to my old self with no anxiety and was on top of the world. Then this Monday evening, the anxiety kicked in and it's been with me ever since. Tingly, tummy going over, losing a few pounds in weight etc.
I wonder if the dose is too high? Or, should I increae again? Why would I have felt fantastic for a week then plummeted?
Any advise would be appreciated

Hope that helps. I am no expert just suffered a long time and been on AD for over 6 years continuously. I started on Venlafaxine same time as you and had it increased from 75 mgs to 150mgs. I have also been referred to see a consultant psychiatrist who I have to see tomorrow.

Do you feel you could try again 9on 150mg and see if your body gets used to it. Often we will feel worse before we feel better, but I must admit strange you felt well for a week.
I know we are all different, and react to anti depressants in different ways. What suits one may not suit another. I did well on 15omg. I did not do well on generic Venlafaxine, but the named brand Effexor did get rid of my depression and anxiety.
I can't explain why you plummeted, but would not advise increasing dose until you find you can stabalise on 150mg.
I really don't know why this happened.
