Have just moved off Mirtazapine and onto Venlafaxine as the former wasn't helping to shift PND. On 75mg of Venlafaxine now, started on 37.5mg on Saturday and worked up.
I'm getting all the expected side effects - general anxiety which am trying to ignore, nausea, yawning, sweating, loss of appetite and just generally feeling bleuch.
My question is, how long can I expect this to last? I have my driving test next month and can't even face practicing at the moment let alone sitting a test. Also - and this is really trivial I know, but - am a major foodie and going to Bangkok in a fortnight and it's the first time away from DCs and was planning to eat my way round the city...but at the moment it's hard going forcing down toast. Just no appetite and feel sick...
When did the side effects wear off for you? On the plus side, this will do wonders for a twin Mummy tummy 
Seeing GP again in 4 weeks who may move me onto 150mg depending how things are going. I know at that point it starts acting more on the resistant depression. Just want it to go. Told her someone should market a pill which is Restore Factory Settings (TM). That's all I want! Not to be happy, just back to normal...
