I’ve been on venlafaxine for years. It’s a brilliant drug, normally well tolerated by most people and can be very effective. Ange, the pharma companies have to cover all their bases re side effects so include everything and most of the time they don’t happen so don’t worry over that, please.

The only thing you need to be aware of is the withdrawal (discontinuation) symptoms are tough to deal with and withdrawal can start really quickly after missing even one dose. It’s not an issue as long as you make sure you take your meds daily and at around the same time of day.
