Venlafaxine and anxiety

how long did it take you

its been a long while since i started but i remember 3 months in. depending on your initial emotional state it can take awhile or be quick. also then your dose may need to be adjusted during the course. many factors take into account before status quo is reached.. need to couple it with psychotherapy as well.

thanks Cheryl, what does are you on today 17 days for me on 75 your post gave me hope that this might work for me again

glad to help. 17 days is much to soon to see any normalization so stick with it as long as it doesnt cause any uncomfortable side effects in which case switch to something else.

im currently tapering so my dose is now 13mg.

what was your dose

37.5mg since 2010. failed taper in 2016 cause too fast. started tapering again since 2017. going slow this time around.

last time it worked for me much quicker at 75 l will not go higher. i have been on this dose for 23 days i hope it helps my anxiety

I see this post is 2 months old but just wanted to comment on the added psychotherapy treatment. If only, all the treatments are available they say, but when you ask are told the waiting lists are at least a year long, unless you go private of course????
