"i have been taking citalopram for about 6 years and not really noticed any difference in my life. i was switched to venlafaxine yesterday and after 1 dose and a good night&#039;s sleep i jumped out of bed this morning to answer the telephone. i did not realize it until later, but i normally sleep through the phone ringing or just ignore it and go back to sleep. i am very very impressed with the results already and feel like a new person and so full of energy. thank you, thank you is all i can say!"
