Having tried both of these anti-depressents/anti-anxiety pills I have had the same horrible side effects i.e. lack of balance, bouncing off of walls, feeling tired etc.

Does anybody know of an alternative that I could take without these side-effects?

Any ideas welcome.

Thank you!

      Hi Caroline,

      No, I have not tried Venlafaxine - did it lift your mood and help with your depression? I feel like I have a lead weight in my stomach and I just can't shift it...

      I have a telephone consultation with my Dr at some point today (wasn't given a time) so I will ask her about this.

      Thank you for the advice.

      Take care,

      Zoe

      Hi again Caroline,

      I just spoke to my Doctor who said I should try Mirtazapine - have you ever tried this?

      Thanks so much for being there for me!

      Dear Zoe really pleased you spoke to GP, mirtazapine is a good drug give it a good try its trial and error at times what suits an individual but if it suits you should be helpful.

      Good luck
