Hello everyone. I have been on 225 sr ven for a week now. I don’t feel much of a improvement but I have awful muscle ache and weakness. Will this stop the longer I’m on this increased dose. Thank you.  HELP !!

    Hi Michael, it’s a big jump from 150 to 225. I have also increased Ven from 150 to 225 nearly a week ago and had slight headaches so I think everyone is different and has different side effects. If it’s uncomfortable maybe get back to your doc for reassurance. How long have you been on Ven all together?

      Obviously it was helping you. Gosh so I have jumped many doses in 6 weeks... but I have been unwell for a few months now and my doc wants me to get well ASAP. I am now waiting to feel better. Deep depression is slowly vanishing but I am still not myself. It will take time I guess...
