Hey, I'm on 225mg venlafaxine too and have been since the beginning of March. I really do not get on with it, I've noticed no positive effects so far. The side effects have been awful for me too, awful night sweats, insomnia and shakes! Really want to change meds to be honest. Don't really know what to suggest really but I hope you sort it soon - I'd ask the doctor what is best to do to be honest!

Have you talked to your doctor about trying something else? different medications work for different people so hopefully you can find something that will work :smile: good luck

I'm in the psychiatric ward right now but I just want to go home :frown:

I'm allowed to self discharge but I don't know how I'll get home. It's miles outside London :s-smilie:


:jumphug:
Parklands mental health unit is beyond ****. They have forgotten to order my meds AGAIN so I have to go without meds AGAIN.

I'm on 375mg and I get sweats too, they suck :frown:
Mentor keeps asking me if I want to go to the sessions anymore, think it's her way of saying go away. lol. Glad I didn't go into detail about the voices and ****. She also had a go at me about "not communicating" what's going on and I have been. She just doesn't like the reasons I give.

Ended up not booking a GP appointment either, she'll probably say something about doing work or whatever. Wish everyone wasn't so focussed on the work, it's the least of my worries right now.

Oh well, at least I tried or something.
Feel so paranoid and idk why lol

I don't know. :/

You're welcome to PM me if you need to vent or something. Hospital admissions must be scary, I hope they're able to treat you without needing to hospitalise you, but if it comes to that I hope they help you.

Had panic attack after panic attack today while Callan's been at college and my mum's been out all day so couldn't get a hold of her. Roll on 5pm til he gets back. Could do with a hug from him :frown:

Wanted to tell my psychiatrist the truth about how I have been feeling this morning but I couldn't because my mum was in the meeting. I'm officially on a community treatment order now :frown:
