Meds side effects

[JE55LEW]

Is having side effects a good sign the meds trying to work on day 3 and managing to put up with them for now slight head ache but more the dry mouth and horrible taste just wanting people's opinions on this and is it good that I'm experiencing day 3 of switching straight over from another that caused side effects for the 5 weeks I was on them and couldn't take it anymore
Thanks

It can take up to 2 weeks to feel the difference. I must say the little side effects from Venlor is nothing in compare to the side effects i had using Serdep. I realy felt like going crazy or i'm gonna die!

i too take zopiclone at night but my doc won't prescribe me anymore as he thinks I might come dependant on them so when they have last given them me iv cut them in half so iv got more for when I can ride this starting up through iv got 10 nights left so hopefully the venlafaxine should start to kick in and the sleep will follow fingers crossed, they won't give me anything to take through the day they don't think I need it

No. I took it in the morning with Urbanol. The urbanol keeps me calm. At night I took zopiclone because I am struggeling to sleep.

have u taken this med in the evening at all? I taken with tea and find I'm a little nervous a couple of hours after taking until I know it's time to take the Zopiclone which I don't want to take continually because that's not natural sleep it just knocks me out and then I don't remember being asleep :o(

2day the second day. 75mg in the morning. I am in Urbanol 10mg a day to help less the side effects.

Hi again iv been upped to 75mg today taking this evening with tea as that is all I can stomach at the moment, how long have u been taking venlafaxine for? Iv had in in past the first time round worked wonders and second time it didn't but hoping this time round 3 time lucky I will get through it after to ssri's pooped out on me so fingers crossed I start to pick up soon and hope sleep comes natural that's all I want natural sleep as soon as I get that I will be on the mend its anxiety with me and not depression.
