"i had been on 75mg of venlafaxine for the last 2 months and within days noticed a huge difference from the citalopram i was taking before.
on monday i had my 2 month review at the doctors and although it has made a huge difference i still felt it wasn&#039;t quite enough so he upped my does to 150mg and i have to say its made all the difference. 
the reason i haven&#039;t given this drug a 10 is like everyone else has said ....... i missed 1 75mg tablet one night and omg the next day i was like a woman possessed !!! raging temper flying of the handle at the slightest thing.
i find personally it helps to be taken 1 hour before wanting to go to bed as it helps me sleep and i wake up with no side affects."
