Anxiety and insomnia in PD

It is 100% the addition of the low dose mirtazepine added to the low dose Venlafaxine which has resolved the insomnia. Through the night if he wakes to use the toilet, he takes another 37.5 mg of Venlafaxine and a second 100/25 of controlled release, and is asleep again within the hour.

No WAY

Get off Venlafaxine . It is a nightmare worse than heroin. I would never go on it again . The withdrawal is the worst I ever encountered. Mirtazipine does the trick with some CBT

My optometrist said the Venlafaxine I am taking has likely caused one of the tendons in my eye to stretch which has likely contributed to the visual distortion I have had since starting on this medication. Has anyone else experienced this?

Embr Wave 2 & Hotflashes

I am on Gabapentin & Venlafaxine that seem to help somewhat with the flashes. I ordered a Embr Wave 2 and am very happy with it. Seems if I catch the hot flash right at the start most times the device either stops the flash or shortens it.
