    If I forget to take my 150mg first thing in the morning I start to feel brain zaps by the afternoon. Venlafaxine are known to react very quickly if you forget or are late in taking your prescribed dose. I'd come off them tomorrow, but the withdrawal of this medication is terrible. I would say the worst antidepressant to come off.

    It should lift Stacey, the dose you're on is very low and I expect your Dr will higher your dose gradually. You can't just go in high on this type of antidepressant. They have helped me with depression and anxiety and many people swear by them as a really good medication. Just be aware they're very difficult to wean off. Speak to your GPS, he should advise you on your dosage. Good Luck Stacey!xx
