"i have tried nearly all anti depressant/anxiety medication and venlafaxine has been one of the best for me. my mood is more balanced, my sleep is improved and i am more motivated than before starting the medication.

the side effect of nausea lasts a short while after taking a dose ( 37.5mg 2 x daily for me) but the overall positive effects are worth while. 

i found that venlafaxine has a quicker effect than other snri&#039;s with fewer side effects."
