Since I had an adverse effect to the Prozac which I have taken before many years ago I can no longer take that family of SSRI’s so my doctor gave me Venlafaxine which are supposed to help with my Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Chronic fatigue syndrome.
They have really knocked me about since I’ve been taking them and exacerbating the anxiety I already have and the symptoms that come along with this, which isn’t pleasant.
Initially I did want to come off them because they were knocking me about so much and because my long history with antidepressants it’s scared me, but after talking to a dear friend I’ve decided to carry on taking them for the period of 2 months to let them properly getting my system to give them a chance to work.
