To add it to your profile:

1. Click your profile photo in the top right corner
2. Select "View My Profile"
3. Click on "Treatments"
4. Type "venlafaxine" in the box under "My current treatment or therapies"

If you still can't find it, try searching for "venlafaxine" instead of "Vencarm" - medication databases typically use generic names rather than brand names. You can then add details about when you started taking it, how effective it's been, and any side effects you've experienced.

I did a couple of searches, and all it comes up with is venlafaxine (Effexor), an antidepressant used to treat anxiety and depression.

Personal note: How it affects person to person can vary. Side effects can vary, including sexual side effects. If you are on this medication at *ANY* dose, PLEASE do not stop it suddenly for any reason without consulting your GP first. The withdrawal effects can be quite intense and fearsome and they are worse than the side effects. Effexor effects, even after weaning, can last months into years.

With that, @A MyDepressionTeam Member, if this is what you're taking, if it's starting to help, that's wonderful, if not and the side effects are getting bothersome, ring up your GP and let them know as soon as humanly possible; because that's just the tip of the iceberg that is venlafaxine.

Be well and stay warm!
