Hi,

My usual brand of Venlafaxine (Focus) has been discontinued, so I needed to get a new one. First I tried the original Efexor, but I responded so badly that they switched me to another brand (Teva). At first things seemed to be going better, but its been 2,5 weeks now and I am still incredibly tense and anxious. Could my body still be getting used to this new brand? Does anybody have any experience or knowledge about that?
