    Hi folks. I am a 72 year old man in reasonably good heath. I started taking 37.5 Ven one week ago for anxiety and depression. I feel a little better but from reading the posts here it seems that it will take some time before I feel "normal" again. I take it around 9am with my breakfast but by 3pm I find that I NEED a nap. The rest of the day, I feel like my brain is a bit "foggy". Does this ever go away? I first tried taking it with supper around 7pm but found it hard to get to sleep. Any suggestions?
