Tiredness
Posted , 3 users are following.
I've been on Venlafaxine for just over 3 weeks and take them in the evening around 9, as these make me drowsy. Even though I take them in the evening I am so tired all the time, does anyone else get this? If so, does it last or wear off after time?

I used to take mine at 7pm with my dinner. I had extended release. I felt fine getting up but it took me 4 weeks or so yo adjust to it.
Your depression cud account for the tiredness too.
Try getting out in the sun on nice days or get a SAD light. I have good effects with mine and even had one purchased by my employer's.

Sound stupid what is a SAD light? I do try and get out on sunny days but it's hard working in an office all day.
Thank you for replying.

Talk to your HR as they may help you get one. They're about 40 quid.
Good luck.

Depression is viewed as a disability and you are protected by law and employers must support you where possible to work as it's good for us!
Good luck.
