Medication Review: Venlafaxine

[Mummyhill]

Venlafaxine worked really well for me and I was much more stable on it I did constantly have a dry mouth when on it but it was an inconvenience rather than a major problem. It did make me feel lethargic as well but again compared to the way I was feeling before I started on it this was an inconvenience. Everyone could tell if I had missed a dose and it seemed to put me back by about a fortnight when I missed a dose. Coming off it cold turkey as I was pregnant at the time was horrendous though I had headaches and brain zaps.
