Hi I have been on venlafaxine a total of 15 wks. I am currently on 112mg, it has been 4wks since I was increased from 75 to 112. I feel worse. my depression is severe, barely able to get out if bed in the morning. I also have increased anxiety and panic on and off. I have heard sooooooo many mixed reviews on whether to stick it out or to stop it. I really really want this to work. I have tried sooooooo many antidepressants over the past few years and they don't work or work a very short time. anyone else experience this severe depression and anxiety and it got better? I need relief!
