"i was on ven for 18 months  150mg per day increased to 300mg.   i have put on weight, just over 2 stone.   lost 75% of my hair. it now resembles very fine baby hair.

 the side effects were never made known to me by the doctor that prescribed this awful medication.  

 i have now stopped taking  ven. i weened myself off in 2 months. i&#039;m now into my  second month ven free.  i just wish i&#039;d never taken it to begin with."
