Hi,

I'm on 300 mg Venlafaxine , but unfortunately it is not working anymore. One Dr suggested to increase the dosage. Another Dr suggested to add a pill that stabilize the mood. Maybe to change the pill? Although I'm afraid and is there a pill that can work after Venlafaxine?

I’m also worrying about venlafaxine and sertraline together, I’m still feeling very down and have put 1 and 1/2 stone on which has made me feel worse , What did you take for your depression when you stopped venlafaxine, I sympathise with you it’s a dreadful feeling depression x

Thank you Normski x

I think the UK maximum is 375mg. Venlafaxine is also sometimes combined with Mirtazapine.

Personally I refused to take the stuff, as it can be difficult to withdraw from.

Hi,

I was taking Venlaxafina (I live in Mexico) for a couple of years, and it recently stopped working. I have tried a few other drugs, but the one I think may work out for me is Pristiq, the generic is Deslvenlaxafina. Good luck!
