    Hi there 

    was wandering how you were getting on with the side effects as I have just been prescribed these and think I would rather have the depression than side affects and that's saying something. I am new to this site and was changed from venlaflaxine to merat zapping and have never felt so low in my life xx

      Hi Catherine

      I came on this forum in desperation last Thursday I was so drugged up like a zombie only had 15 mg merits but gp told me stop taking venlafaxine completely and start on merts that's prob why I've had a bad experience xx

      Gp told me to stop venlaflaxine for few days before starting on merts as I could get serotonin syndrome, its possible you had that and looking at symptoms wouldn't wish it on worst enemy. Think i am where you were when you first came on this site.

      Omg really I have read about that since coming on here your probably right bit like going cold turkey luckily I'm still here wink

      Only you know how much you can take other people find the side effects wear off just take care and try and see GP tomorrow x
