Venlafaxine - When will it work?
Posted , 6 users are following.
I've posted recently but am feeling rather desperate. I've been on venlafaxine for over a month. The last 9 days on 225mg and prior to that 150mg for 10 days so nearly three weeks at a high dose. I'm not seeing any improvement at all. Should I have seen anything yet? I also take 30mg Mirtazapine n the evening. I'm scared this won't work and then I don't know what I'll do next. I know there are lots of medications but venlafaxine is known to work where others haven't - so frightened that I'm not going to get better. Please help.

Keep in touch, and let us know how you get on. Effexor did help me a lot, and many other people will tell you it helped them too. Stick with it.
#Take care.

When I was in psychiatric hospital because mine was hard to treat I was offered ECTwhich I refused. I found tha anti depressants did help take the edge off the depression. Sometimes it is a matter of finding the right medication which helps you. What suits one person may not suit another. Keep in touch and let us know how you get on.

You have a supportive husband and friends, and that must be a great comfort. No you must talk to us here, as you need support. I seem to be giving you miserable advice, and I don't mean to. Sorry. I find if I smile, no one here to see it, and hum a bit, or just say silly things out loud (live alone) then it helps with my mood. OK sounds stupid, but hey that's me!!
Keep posting. I know you are scared and sad. I want to help so much.
