HI, sorry to hear of your bad experience, ive had a few over the years and it really is frightening. hope your doc can find you something else although i know how off putting it seems now. x

Thats what i am taking but also taking diazepam at mo, how long were you on it? Ive only just started taking it! Hope your ok now!

I only took 2 tablets

Oh no, that sounds bad. I find Venlafaxine works for me and have been fine on it (been on it last 3 months), but not all tablets are OK for everyone. I really struggled with Citralopram - I felt like a zombie for the 2 weeks I was on that. It is just trial and sometimes error until you find what works for you. I hope you don't have the same experience again. Wish you luck.

Yeah I hear ya. I'm now on beta-blockers which are doing my nut in with the constant buzzing, I can't win
