How long does venlafaxine take to work - still no improvement :(
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hello,
I was just wondering if anyone can tell me of any experience / side effects / time scale with this drug.
I have been on it for 6 weeks with no improvement at all. I also suffer very badly with tension headaches & they feel so bad at the moment.
Please any answers or help & advice or even someone to chat to would be great.
Many thanks in advance

Thank you for you're replies. I started on 37.5 twice a day & now my gp has upped it to 3 times a day. I feel very low and flat & no interest in anything & i've not been dressed for days, i did feel this way before but no better at all. Also i feel very anxious & on edge.
I do hope this one works for me as i have tried others in the past with no effect. x

Thank you for you're reply. And that's very good to hear. I'm on 37.5 3times a day. The gp did try to give me the s/r ones but there seems to be a manuf problem with them so i can't have them everytime i go back and ask he says there is still a problem with them.

Here's hoping things get better.
I switched to these from trying two different SSRI's but their side effects were too bad, at least side effects with these seem less, for me anyway
