Hi been on venlaflaxine for 7 weeks...

First 4 weeks 37.5mg

5th week 50mg

6th week 62.5mg

Yesterday I slept all day and today feel very tired and emotional. Is this just because of the small increase?

Has anyone else felt this effect.. I'm only on a small dose till I get to 75mg as I'm so sensitive to tablets

    It is perfectly ok to do that. The only thing I would say is not to break the beads that are in the capsules as you will affect the slow release aspect of the medication x
