venlafaxine and no sleep plus metal taste
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hi I have been on 150mg venlafaxine slow release for 4 months.
As any of you on venlafaxine had any of these side effects,
Each night I go to bed I am lay there could be hours due to my mind not switching off to active,
Then I prob get 2 hours sleep and wake again like this all through the night on and off.
I am so tired and can't carry on like this anymore
Zopiclone gives me a metal taste or is it the venlafaxine?? Is horrible I also have a tight feeling in my jaw.
Ativax I can't wake up properly on this very groggy wanting to go back to sleep

I got a terrible metallic taste with zopiclone (which didn't help anyway).
Try switching time for takinf meds and never later than 7pm.
Good luck xxc

about 5pm. I do take other strong medication foe back problems. I wish I could solve the problem of falling asleep during the day.

I've been on 75mg for the past month and I have that metal taste too. I can't eat eggs anymore either, because I get a weird taste from them, as well. Almost like they're burnt or made from something with chemicals in it.

Now I take the Venlaxafine with breakfast I not only sleep at night (she says as she sits up at 2.30am, but
that's exceptional), but were I not now on the Carbomazapine too, would be fine all day (I do need a siesta
in the afternoon now.)
It might be differemt if you are not on slow release tabs though. I also have Quetiapine, Co-codamol,
Ibuprofen, HRT, Anti-histamine, Ramipril, Omneprazole....can't remember what else but I do rattle lol!
I think with most of these Psych meds, it's a case of finding what works best for you. I have been lucky,
apart from the sleep problems initially, I haven't had any side effects from Venlafaxine!
