My GP has taken me off immediate release venlafaxine (2x 150mg) and put me on slow release at 1 x 150mg.....should I not be on 1 dose of 300mg? I feel ill after just 2 days and think it may be withdrawal. Any ideas what dose is correct??

Venlafaxine - shift from regular to modified release. I can’t do the maths on dosage!

Possibly but for me the prolonged release do seem to work better than the immediate one so possibly a lower dose at a time is needed??. I’d ring them and ask just to be sure as 300is the top dose for community so have to be careful not to take too much at one time.
Thank you! Apparently it’s a GP error and I should be on 300 once a day. No wonder I felt so bad after 2 days on half a dose. Hopefully back on track from today :/)
Hi there fangus I can't believe your doctor got the dose wrong just glad your getting the correct dose now! I'm on venlafaxine myself 225mg modified release and I find it helps through out the whole day! Take care david
