venlafaxine, just started help

[Blarblarblar]

I've just started taking venlafaxine and I'm feeling shocking. No sleep last night.Cotton wool head, actually feel like I'm on something. Legs just want to stretch and move. Very nauseous. Pins and needles through my head. It's only dose 2. Can anyone advise if they had this and it straightened out.
I've been so reluctant to take anything but it got to a point I needed to admit how bad it was. Called doc today and he said ride it out a bit longer but I'm a proper space cadet in my meetings today I actually stumbled through my work day and probably fucked up a million things.

Hi. Brand new to Mumsnet. Hoping to get some advice from someone. Been struggling with depression and anxiety the last 3 weeks. Upped my Venlafaxine dose from 75mg to 150mg without asking doc because I felt so bad. The whole Coronavirus thing has really stressed me out. Now being plagued with suicidal thoughts which are terrifying me. Is this due to the depression or the increased dose maybe? I have been on these tabs since 2012 and have done really well on them up till now. Sorry for such a long post.
