Day 2 of Venlafaxine
« on: February 08, 2013, 02:28:40 AM »
I'm taking a 37.5 mg pill twice a day and I feel like 0103.  I know this will pass but god this is a nightmare.  Stayed up all night last night feeling wired, nauseated and overly anxious.  Tried to go running today but only could make it just over a mile before feeling like I was going to puke or pass out.  At work I was panicky, dizzy, light headed and miserable. Also, I have barely eaten a thing -- zero appetite.  God bless western medicine!

I assume you are taking a generic immediate release form, not the XR extended release. If so, contact the prescribing doctor, explain how it is affecting you and ask if you can cut the tablets in half for the first 7-10 days. Alternatively, if you can be prescribed the XR version.  DO NOT cut the tablets without getting the okay, especially if you are not sure which version you have.
