"venlafaxine is great!  i have been on it for 3 years with good help for my depression and anxiety.  sometimes it makes me a bit jumpy, but not often.  the hardest part is finding the right dose.  i am now of 250mg in 3 doses and it works great.  i need more in the winter and roughly 175mg in the spring and summer.  can&#039;t say enough good things, i have a better outlook and interested in living life.  hope this helps."
