    I have the appetite problem, it did get get better.  I was on venlafaxine for over 20 years, it did get better.  I get the pins and needles, not sure if it is from the medicine.

      What’s it from ? I don’t know if it my anxiety or the different amount of drugs I’ve swapped over in the last few months but it’s scary
