hi all ! I've switced from setraline 150 to venlafaxine 150 from last two weeks but not feeling any differance in my low mood and anxiety . i understand these medicines take few weeks but i am feeling few side effects like weekness in energy pain in whole body, blury vision ,sensitve teeth and confusion and increase in anxiety 

I was on straline 150 and mirtazapine 15 mg for 1 year and i was well but from last three months my depassion has come back .

    Hi I had similar side effects with the Ven. It did improve. I also did some basic relaxation techniques which helped at the time.

    Hi, It took me 6 mths to get used to venlafaxine!!   I still have the chronic insomnia which my message was about the other day and sometimes still feel queasy. I think it may have increased my anxiety, I was on clomipramine for many years  but asked the doc for something that would give me a boost! I think the clomipramine was partly seditive so helped sleep but made me lethargic and put on weight. I just wanted something to give me a push but not sure venlafaxine suits me.
