The ANP at the surgery wants me to start on Venlafaxine. A lowish dose. She says they've had good results with it.
I'm currently on Sertraline after having to stop citalopram due to the side effects. I had previously been taking this for around five years.
Venlafaxine has a bad reputation amongst antidepressant veterans and many urge people never to start taking it. The sertraline doesn't seem to be working for me and I still feel depressed. The ANP has just upped the dose to 100mg this morning and told me to see how I get on.
My main concern is about weight gain as I have gained about two stone with the citalopram.
Any thoughts?
