I want to increase my venlafaxine......
Posted , 4 users are following.
I have been taking this since the end of february having tried other AD before and them either interacting with medication I HAVE to take or just stopped working. I am currently on 150mcg but feel it needs to increase but not seeing the psychiatrist til June...I really dont feel I can wait that long and appts take a while to come through. should I just increase by one tablet anyway? There are plenty of horror stories about this medication but I do feel this one is actually starting to work.
What do people think?
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

if you are in the UK your doc can contact your psychiatrist. My psychiatrist has given my gp authorisation to increase if necessary. Try that avenue ♥
Wishing you better ♥

that's a really interesting response and very helpful. I have been on ven 75mg for two weeks. It was added to the mirtazipine i was already taking. The first three days i noticed a huge benefit but then i went back to finding mornings difficult and anxiety if i go out. From your experience do you think i should give the 75 more time? I take 15 my mirtazipine too. Or is the 150 the way to go?
Appreciate your views ♥
