Good Morning,

About three week's ago when I went to pick up my medication there was a note to say my Venlafaxine (Efexor XR) had been changed to a generic brand of the medication - Enlafax. I didn't think too much of it at the time
I have noticed a drop in my mood, I am increasingly more irritable and angry inside, my thoughts of self-harm and suicide have definitely increased, and I just don't feel "right".
I thought a bit more about what could be causing then then I had a light-bulb moment… read more

I take 120 mg a day of Duloxitine, then 225 mg Venlafaxine to up the Duloxitine. 2 X a day for the Duloxitine, 3 X a day for the Venlafaxine. Does anyone know if those doses are the highest you can take? A situation a couple of weeks ago brought me down in a depressive state, my meds aren't helping like they should, what can I do? He told me to call if I needed him, I won't go in patient to have my meds changed, I'm doing that at home, for sure!

I'm talking about a period of 10 years or so.

I am on venlaflaxine amitrptlyine and gabapentin just wondering any thought and views on this mixture.? My dosage varies and have tried to cope just with low dose venflaxine which did work for a good year. Unfortunately had an episode recently and am back on both ! The gabapentin I take for oa pain in knees

I have tried citalopram that stopped working so was put on venlafaxine with mirtazapine they took me off the mirtazapine I don't know why it was working then the venlafaxine was working for awhile and then last year near the end it stopped working and they put me on Sertraline but that hasn't been working for 2 weeks

I've recently been moved onto Venlafaxine does anyone have any advice or info or the side effects at all been getting extremely intense sweats since starting these, is this a common side affect from this medication and does it settle down, really unsure about continuing with it if it's long term a feel like most ppl stare at me when a go out anyway a don't really need sweats to add to this reason for being anxious when out

Just wondering if that's the cause...psych meds. I've been on them (many different ones) for nearly 20 years for major depressive disorder and anxiety. I am 40 years old and the last couple years have seemed cloudy for me. I am definitely not as sharp as I used to be! Currently on Viibryd, Abilify and Provigil. Thank you in advance!

I just stated taking Venlafaxine for 35.7 mg and I had just been taking it for almost two weeks. I think I will have to tell my doctor to up the dosage because I don't feel any different taking this medication.

My question is has anyone taken Venlafaxine for depression and anxiety and has it helped them?

I have have major memory loss. I have been shocked 47 times in 5 months and I'm hoping my memory comes back
