Hi All!

I have been prescribed 75g venlafaxine for chronic headache and debating with myself whether I should start taking it or not. There are few posts on here with people saying how horrible this drug is and few praising it for helping them with depression / anxiety.

My question is- has anyone taken it for chronic pain? Does it help? Also, what's the weight management like while on it?

I was on 50g amitriptyline in the past and I couldn't do any exercise without starting feeling 'fainty' and put on 10kgs in a year.
