Sertraline to Venlafaxine
Posted , 4 users are following.
I've been advised to change meds from sertraline to Venlafaxine due to having so many side effects and not feeling they work for me. What are everyone's experiences being on them as a bit worried about changing meds but can't go through these side effects for so long.

I have just been advised to do the same at the moment I have some horrid withdrawals from reducing my sertraline but nowhere near as bad as the side effects. I am worried about starting the new one as well but sometimes we just have to give it a go and hope for the best. I don't start them until late next week. If you start before that good luck I hope they work for you

Well I've not taken my tablet this evening and had a bad belly, hoping that's not a withdrawal sign
Keep in touch

Venlafaxine worked really well for me,but it is an absolute horror to withdraw from. So hopefully you will be able to stay on it. I took it for 9 years and it was best anti depressant I took. Only side effects for me was weight gain and indigestion and heartburn. But we all react different to different drugs. What works for one does not always work for another, and side effects may be different.
Hope all goes well for you.

hopefully it'll work for me as well as it did for you. I've got two weeks off work to help adjust to the new one.
